Crept up the cloaca smh

Thanks, and yeah that figures

I don’t use tiktok, I’ve never been interested in using tiktok, and if it was just going out of business or something then I would give precisely zero fuckaroos.

But I don’t need the government making the decision to block it for me arbitrarily. I confess that I’m not studied up on the reasoning behind blocking it (I’ve mostly heard about security concerns), but if Congress and the supreme court actually cared about digital security, then they’d be passing a bill of digital rights right now. Instead of doing that, they’re set on going after TikTok specifically, which tells us two things:

• Because they aren’t passing blanket digital privacy rights, it’s likely that TikTok is not the only company committing these privacy violations, but they don’t want to punish the “wrong” company.
• Given the previous point, it follows that they don’t actually care about digital privacy (duh), so the actual reason for banning them is likely something else. Other people in this thread have pointed out that the US government can’t control propaganda on TikTok like they can other social media, but it could also be as simple as clearing the way for American competitors/lobbyists who stand to profit from the ban.

So yeah, like you I don’t use tiktok so I’m not directly affected by the ban, I might’ve even supported it if it was due to an impartial bill of digital rights, but reasoning behind the actual ban is clearly bullshit on principle just by being so specific, and it sets a dangerous precedent. You saying that TikTok is shit so you don’t care if it gets injustly and unconstitutionally banned is no different then saying that George Floyd was a criminal so you don’t care if he was murdered by cops sans-due-process. You’re being distracted, soulifix. Think about it, if the government cared about addressing the issues with TikTok that you brought up in your post, why are they going after TikTok specifically instead of addressing that behavior generally?

Growing up this bad boy was my family’s only gaming console: It had Ms Pacman, Galaga, Mappy, Pole Position, Xevious… that might have been it? It was like you said, you just plug it into the video and audio jacks, it was all one thing.

Not if you’re singing in scat

I figured there’d be plenty of mentions of Rush’s 2112, but they have a lot of other songs that fit the bill too. The Necromancer, Fountain of Lamneth, Xanadu, Natural Science (well I guess that’s more of a rant than a story), Cygnes X-1 books 1 and 2. Since you say maybe without words, La Villa Strangiato.

If you want to stick to classic prog then Yes has some songs that fit the bill too like America and Harold Land. I confess to not really understanding the lyrics of most of the rest of Yes’s discography, they can be really poetic, but I think the whole Closer to the Edge album fits on it’s musicality alone. The title track’s a freaking journey.

Led Zeppelin has a few of these too, though musically they are a little repetitive. Achilles Last Stand, Battle of Evermore, Gallows Pole.

Stop trying to make “objectively” the new “literally”

edit: nvm, I see you’re just doing some good trolling. gg

Food

Actually though, right after new years is about when my seasonal depression turns back into regular depression

Spite

In n outs fries actually taste like packing material. Probably my least favorite fast food fries. The burger was fine, you know for fast food.

That’s a neat idea. A little dial that flares out the shell where the palms are would be pretty sick. Maybe that’s too complicated and heavy to be worth it, but what if it could be adjustable with a screwdriver?

Probably not, it’s a matter of taste. No joke, I think it tastes good and do it all the time

Suck a lemon. Actually that sounds good maybe I’ll go do that

I’m the idiot who ate the entire package of Warheads in one mouthful on a whim, no peer pressure necessary. Can confirm, everything tasted like battery acid and flour for a few days there

You plebs and your pathetic water-displacing stench. I wear the finest kano kroil

Eternally grateful

What do you mean "you people"?

I do the “eh” thing sometimes without thinking about it but I agree with you, I don’t like being on the other end of it either. I’m trying to work on that
