Two consoles wasn’t really a thing back then. If you had a Nintendo you weren’t really messing with anything older anymore. At least in my experience. If you wanted to switch you just changed the plugs around.

I would love to know how all the cat and cooking videos in my tiktok feed are being used to suppress democracy 🙄

Nobody got an email. You don’t know shit.

I never denied they sent a notification to people in the app. It offered to help get in touch with local reps. Why would people exercising their rights to communicate with politicians bother you in any way? That’s weird.

Messaging out of laziness? What does that even mean? They were calling their local reps to voice their discontent.

The people addicted comment just makes you look petty and ignorant. It might be time for you to graduate to Facebook.

How are they being harmed? Why was it so easy for them to make you believe this? Also, who asked you to protect anyone with your one petty little email lmao

Personalized feed? What? I’ve never heard of anything like that

It’s genuinely embarassing to see people here behaving this way. And disappointing.

Oh no… Someone that was told the opinion they should have about tiktok years ago never bothered to think about it for more that five seconds before repeating it

Did it hurt? Becoming a boomer.

Why would I care? Is it somehow better for google or facebook to profit off of my data? China doesn’t even solely own the app. They don’t even own enough of the app to censor it and so it’s banned in China lmao

They also claimed that it was only “old people and teenagers” who were calling in and objecting which wasn’t true. One rep stood up and straight up lied claiming that TikTok users were “forced” to call. How would that even work? TikTok possibly being banned isn’t a lie but all that other shit sure was. It was just a popup offering to help locate local reps to call and make their voices heard. The fact that any of you are pretending that people taking this democratic action is a bad thing is appalling and your bias is blatantly obvious. The absolute ego on all of you to act like you just know better than all of those other people because… Reasons? Ridiculous.

Ok, sure. Show me what research you or they have done to justify “protecting them from themselves”. Already they’re telling lies by insinuating that only teenagers and old people are calling. And you all just believe it? Wild how biased people can be when presented with information they want to believe.

You’re not doing it to protect people. It’s ridiculous that you’d even pretend to be.

The fact that you guys just ate up that rhetoric without any hesitation… Like, you just happily believe it’s a bunch of “addicted old people and teenagers”? Is this reddit? Did I make a wrong turn at common sense and critical thinking?

It’s not just teenagers and old people. That’s just some bullshit rhetoric that you ate right up without question. Because of course you did. Millennials/middle age folk are abundant on TikTok as well as young adults.

The audacity of some of you to jump into action just to spite “teenagers and old people” is shameful. So easily manipulated.

It’s so dorky but I love the shit out of mine. That thing is a beast and I can always count on it to work. If anything ever happened to our relationship we’d have to work out a custody arrangement lol

My first thought too. That guy won’t get robbed because whoever pays $9 for it is already kinda robbing him anyway lmao

Was this before or after you tried a few way more complicated approaches to the task that were unnecessarily complex and didn’t work out?

Ahhh, the good old days

Cable sucked for other reasons and I sure wouldn’t have ever really called it cheap. There’s a reason people wanted to get away from it in the first place. I’ve been seeing a lot of pro cable nonsense going around and it would be such a pity if the streaming situation devolved back to putting up with the predatory nature of cable-like services.
