I have misiphonia actually lol. I can't eat at restaurants because the sound of metal cutlery scraping together or scraping on people's teeth causes me physical pain and makes my own teeth "itch" for lack of a better word. It really sucks but I don't go around shaming people for eating in a way that's normal for them either.

So, I definitely get it but mocking people for sighing in contentment over their lil toasty cup of coffee seems criminal to me. It feels like there's not enough joy in the world right now to be making people feel bad about silly things like that ya know? :/

I don't think you know what invasive means

Oh you silly! The American corporations ARE the government at this point. But your point is valid either way. I don't think it's just about racism though. I think they want our data back in the US market. None of our corporate overlords can dip their greedy little fingers into TikTok data and that is very upsetting for them.

Facebook literally conducted "social experiments" on like a million of their users and didn't even get a slap on the wrist. What you're saying isn't even true but if it was so what? Another country profits off of stealing my data instead of the US? What has the US ever given me for my data? My taxes already help.fund genocides and I don't get any say in any of it so fuck it.

Because it has absolutely nothing to do with any of that and everything to do with US corporations wanting our data and eyeballs back. If you think otherwise you're just too easily manipulated.

Even if someone hates TikTok for whatever reason this should still piss them off. They tried to do this twice and the people said NO both times. To the extent that they spread a bunch of bs rhetoric claiming people were forced to call their representatives last time because they got so much immediate push back lol. Nobody was forced to do anything. A notification was sent to TikTok inboxes telling people about the vote and offering to help them contact their local reps about it. A bunch of people exercised their rights to have a voice and did just that. That was it. That's what happened.

Now here we are. In an incredibly undemocratic move, they forced the ban through anyway.

If that's what you guys see on TikTok then that's what you interact with and enjoy watching so you're just kinda telling on yourselves lmao

Why do you want our social media to mirror China? That's the real question. What's the US gonna do with our data that's so much better? Oh yeah, fund our allies genocides! Yay! 🥳

Except for the part where they couldn't get support for it twice so they shoved it in here to get their way? But that's ok because you don't like the silly dancing app that you know basically nothing about right? Other than "China bad", of course.

You might as well just not vote at all because not a single president will ever keep every campaign promise they make. Ever. You don't have to like it but that's reality and the only reason to be mad about it for one specific candidate over another is personal bias.

Obviously everyone should vote but unless you're new to all of this you should already know to pick your battles. If campaign promises weren't kept you should research it and know why before you complain about it.

Asking how old someone is completely defeats the purpose. We've seen how boomers mishandled things and pulled the ladders up behind them so let's not pretend that being old and remembering 1994 "like it was pretty recent" (it wasn't) makes your opinion in any way superior.

What you pay in taxes isn't YOUR money so get over it.

They also snuck the TikTok ban in there. I know a lot of old and out of touch folks on here think it's a good thing to ban the "dancing app" but is it? They couldn't get enough support to do it as a single issue the last two times they tried so the shoved it into this one to get their way. Ludicrous that our government doesn't even pretend to work for us anymore. It wasn't banned to protect us. It was banned to boost and protect their income.

Someday I hope my life is so free of real problems that the way a guy drinks his coffee is a big enough issue that I complain about it lol

I don't make the ahhh sound but I do hold it with both hands close to my face. It's for the warmth and I really couldn't care less about anyone that weirdly has an issue with that. What a strange thing to be bothered by...

Not being aware something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Sounds gross to me but I wouldn't even be mildly surprised if it existed

Hurhurhurhurhur

I don't know how familiar you are with salad dressing but you don't usually pour the entire batch of dressing on one salad lol

The fact that the comment section wouldn't load for me for a while just for this post 🤌

I'm guessing that distilled water is about as close as you can get safely
