Many people don't realize that the amount of change our culture goes through in a lifetime is unfathomable historically. Before the 1800s it took a good decade for news to truly travel around to everyone in a region, and that was considered timely if it happened at all. Farming, hunting, homemaking, war, stayed exactly the same for dozens of years at a time and changes were usually made abruptly due to conflict before stagnating again.
Unfortunately for you, you repeated a talking point that is common right now even among purported leftist with no indication that it's satire. It makes sense that the community reacted the same exact way they would to people they don't want in this community who post that stuff unironically.
Unfortunately for you, context matters. No matter how American this used to be you can't plan to do a salute like this without planning for it to have clear connotations with the Nazi salute.
Lmao you're a fool. The meme was started by Chinese people you racist.
Just out here projecting your own racism into other situations because you're the one who sees Pooh bear and thinks "that looks like one of those yellow squinty eyed people I see in China".
Well, people are moving from what they see as an innocent funny video app to a much more obvious chinese controlled app in protest. Basically trying to call out the hypocrisy of the government banning tiktok when all these other apps exist.
Most people do not realize how much info tiktok gathered from you and which shady state governments it filtered into.
It's funny though because the tiktok ban doesn't target tiktok, it targets any foreign controlled app above a certain number of users. So as soon as red note gains a bunch of users it will be killed as hard as tiktok.
That's of course unless both governments don't enforce the law, like they both have said they aren't going to do.
Open ai going for-profit will be funny/terrifying to see. They can't even break even right now. Even if they try to sell AI powered advertising or something it will be so stupidly expensive for them.
Imagine a mouse walking up to you, he takes out a tiny, mouse appropriate sized cheese wheel, and eats it. You think "huh, that's bizarre" it's easily the most interesting thing to happen to you this week if not month. And as you're trying to imagine how a mouse gets that size of a cheese wheel (is a human making them for him?) the mouse proceeds to eat your body weight in cheese wheels in a split second and screams the n-word at you so hard you fall over.
The most surprising thing to me is that PornHub is owned by a multinational Canada based private equity firm Aylo. I guess surprising might not be the right word, maybe morbidly reassuring that no one escapes from the slimy hands of late capitalism.
The Victorian era would have made it so that showing any amount of tail was scandalous and we would all be wearing these bizarre contraptions designed to hide our tails beneath our clothing. Most people would be aware of the fact that keeping our tails tied up was an antiquated puritanical practice that was overall unhealthy for us, but even still, the brave few who chose to let their tale go in public would be looked at as pariahs even by those who ostensibly agreed with the reason behind it.
