  • lots of “tradwife”

    Wild, I've never stumbled on any of that. But it has a really sensitive algorithm and I'm pretty firmly entrenched in the science-travel-pets axis.

  • invoking Umberto Eco with no evidence

    Gold. I'm tempted to put this on a rules list somewhere.

  • One of the weirdest things about having a kbin account is we can see low effort trolling comments like this even after the mods removed it and the rest of the people in here can't see it.

  • And Biden himself has a tiktok account that pumps out content.

    The whole thing is very cynical and weird.

  • You think Chinese-owned Tiktok is inciting anti genocide protests on purpose?

    That train of thought has interesting implications. American-owned Facebook keeps being caught inciting actual genocides in other countries...

  • According to the world map in this link the countries that have banned it outright are: North Korea, China, Iran, Syria, Jordan, Uzbekistan, Krzykstan, India, Nepal, and Somalia.

    (For anyone else like me who has trouble with unlabeled maps).

  • I agree with this. I think you're right.

  • I really hope they manage to get someone with forensic pathology experience into that site to document it.

  • Hmmm I hope this works out better than the dam.

    Only 6% of Ghana has electricity and I'm pretty sure they still have a Karpowership.

  • This is particularly egregious though. They're talking about North Kivu.

    The DRC’s lawyers claim that Apple is purchasing minerals that have been smuggled from the DRC into neighbouring Rwanda, where they are then laundered and integrated into the global supply chain.

    So, M23. Massive human rights abuses.

  • Should probably put some MGMT on there.

  • Asked what kind of protest might be appropriate, Smith cited a recent instance in an armed services hearing in which “people came in and they didn’t say anything, they just held up bloody hands. And the chairman noticed that and said, ‘You can’t do that, you’re out, and they got up and left.”

    I can't even.

  • Have you hand-knitted her a cashmere sweater that fit her perfectly? What am I saying, that was probably why you learned knitting.

  • Well, in a few decades you'll see what "even weirder places" means...

  • I'm late Gen X but I'm really enjoying Gen Z music. Some of it's so chill.

  • Sorry friend, that sounds really hard. I'm really sorry you lost your mum.

    Someone I knew with colitis said it calmed down by itself after about a decade, so I hope that happens to you.

  • Glad it's not just me!

  • How are the ouside parts of your ears and the bridge of your nose tho?

  • Someone in here will say The Weeknd and cue mass existential crisis.

  • Nope, you're describing not being young, that's nothing like being actually old. Growing old has a bunch of stages:

    • joint pain
    • can no longer dance all night
    • hangovers last all day
    • dentists start talking to you about your gums

    But then you get to the phase of

    • skin losing elasticity
    • liking dinner parties
    • marijuana is now a medicine
    • developed distinct preferences about stuff like threadcount

    And then after that the next phase is more like

    • a lot of time worrying about your parents
    • all body fat migrates to one or two of its favourite spots
    • seriously consider putting everything on lanyards
    • your favourite singers are all dead

    And so on, you get the picture. That's as far as I've traveled but as far as I can see the phases after that involve things like bladder leakage and losing friends to alzheimers.
