OPI to open the game? nigga when does baseball start

phone be dry and dead, but the minute you wanna screen record something funny, now you getting 100 notifications.

like cuz i’m not finna be going back & forth with you, or anybody because I got other shit to do then to have online debates over “welllll aaasssshctusllyyy” I said what i said, and i’m standing on the shit. even if it’s not technically the 20th, the effect of the situation mirrors Regan’s.

we’re ignoring the fact that this whole tik tok debacle has been centered around the president-elect who hasn’t been officially sworn in, not one mention of the current administration that is still in charge until tomorrow at noon?

so we’re ignoring the fact the backdoor deal that was made to get them released officially on inauguration day wasn’t planned, in advance that somehow as Regan got sworn in, at noon in 1981 and magically he was the missing equation to do what President Carter couldn’t do?

are we really playing semantics? i’m aware they were released at noon on inauguration day. this is the day before the inauguration, the app been referring to it as all his doing despite not being sworn in yet, Biden is still president, yet it’s all been “trump” all over this. Are we doing this fr?

Trump got his “Regan freed the hostages” moment as I told niggas.

lmao so many people irl cussed me out yesterday because i told them this is all a stunt.

didn’t even last a full 24 hours. go outside y’all.

There’s no need to shut down the propaganda machines that are already working. To me, the right is just super triggered that the younger generation can easily fight their bullshit on the one app they couldn’t control. So when they “save” tik tok the uninformed will just blame the left like always.

I just want all of these apps to be held fully accountable for the destruction their algorithms have unleashed globally on numerous countries, politically and socially. But the problem is, the one’s we have here Meta/X are already in bed with the right.

For every good content creator out there making genuinely good, safe, or informative content, there’s also the bad ones. Exploitative family channels, Ragebait content, Gender Wars podcasts, Pranking non consenting strangers in public. conspiracy content etc. It’s nuanced.

I don’t think it’s healthy to only find happiness through others online. Social media is a tool there’s good, and there’s bad to it. I feel for those who lost everything, but, even then it’s nuanced because I’m sure there’s some truly shitty people who made money from exploitative content too.

I would be a bit distraught too if I overnight lost everything, but i’m not referring to those understandable cases. I’m more concerned with those who have these super unhealthy parasocial relationships with content creators who base their whole personality, and life around them.

Parents need to parent more, but anecdotally speaking i’ve worked at a few schools that allowed screen time as an incentive for good behavior to bribe disruptive or aggressive students, which is far from okay.

It’s just a symptom of the overall screen time problem the youth is facing. A lot of the problematic behaviors I deal with at my job are because children are repeating insanely inappropriate behaviors they see constantly online, mostly either tik tok or youtube are the main offenders.

To further elaborate on the crash out behavior stuff, without giving up too much specifics I work within Education. I feel it’s a bit concerning we’re having a staff meeting at my job next week to discuss how to potentially handle student behavior over this.

I feel like there needs to be a national data privacy protection law, the odds of that passing however with this upcoming administration is as likely as myself winning the office when i’m 35, and eligible to run..That’s assuming we still have fair and free elections by then; but I digress.

I’m also a fan of civil debates, so I appreciate the opportunity to elaborate my viewpoint further. I wholeheartedly agree that there is a massive red flag with the hypocrisy regarding how we handle domestic apps, data privacy, the handling of data leaks etc.

Is this a major loss in free speech? yes. but this in my opinion this is performative theater for trump, to get his whole “Regan freed the Iran hostage” moment. Gen Alpha can start voting in 2028, those who are young, impressionable, addicted to these platforms will remember this in 2028.

don’t want to go on a longer than already tangent, but I just can’t get down with enabling crash out behavior over losing an app when censorship is vastly worse in other countries with less freedoms, countries that have to use Tor, or VPN’s for everything online, and are actively facing persecution.

I don’t see Discord, Reddit Snapchat, or Kik getting this type of energy or smoke with the amount of grooming that is facilitated on their platforms. Youtube with their crazy ass AI ads. I just don’t get down with selective outrage, I have my criticism for every platform.

I’m not celebrating or advocating anybody to lose their income, or community. However, it just confuses me i didn’t see a third of this energy when meta got rid of fact checking, or that some people willingly still use twitter which is a hate platform at this point.

Yes, I wasn’t really trying to dismiss the loss of income or community, I can understand that can be tough for anybody. Just, with declining literacy & the rise in doomscrolling on these apps that are moving further to the right wing side, some individuals need the unfortunately forced upon break.

uncle Bernie, Katt & Eddie griffin

I get all of that, I personally feel like some individuals have a very unhealthy relationship with social media usage to the point where a discussion around the addiction aspect of ANY app regardless of who owns it should be had. I’m talking niggas with a internet addiction, hence why i said “Some”

some of y’all sounding like you finna be out here sucking dick for VPN money to get back on your crack app

this skeet turned my phone into a bean pie
