Pathetic. Weak. Spineless. Complicit.

Kendrick's performances usually have a lot of layers to them that aren't immediately visible to everyone and people eventually discover and break them down, but I can see how things might look weird if you're out of the loop on anything.

One example is Serena crip walking, given her prior relations with Drake.

Another is the Gil Scott-Heron quote and the split US flag.

I'm assuming he had to dial back as well to get approved given the lyrical censorship, I'm surprised the Uncle Sam bit got approved. Also hilarious how the dude waving the Palestinian flag wasn't on TV.

Even if the higher ups somehow agree (which would be insane), the actual troops are the ground are 50% POC or minorities. I can't imagine them going through this hatred by the whitehouse and still continuing to follow orders. There will be a break in chain of command at some point.

Also peep the military subreddit on Reddit they are talking about breaking chain a lot, whether they will it's still to be tested but it's definitely indication of where things lie.

This is a concentration camp, we're past the point of calling.

The big issue here is they're being treated as criminals who committed violent crimes and it's a disgusting sight for everyone involved except racists. A lot of these people are innocent people, some who have been here for over 15-20 years and have entire lives and families in the US.

That's why most of the talks here were around Colombia sending their Presidential plane to pick up their citizens. They weren't rejecting the people, they were rejecting the way in which it was done.

Mexico is also doing similar things rejecting military aircraft, but still allowing the deliver of Undocumented immigrants. Sheinbaum has also been preaching a lot on welcoming everyone home, most of LATAM has had the same perspective from what I've read and seen.

Could also apply to Trump openly admitting Elon rigged the election for him and Elon coming up afterwards nervous 😭

This event has brought a lot more class consciousness to the masses than anything else imo.

Any thoughts? Seems interesting, looks like they're planning on developing communities as well.

It would be really interesting to see how this pans how and how it would affect the future of the Fediverse in general.

I would be really interested in seeing if an internal bridge to automatically translate their platform to ActivityPub will be built in order to federate with Lemmy Instances.

Absolute instant classic, this generations Iron Giant.

Love how they didn't fear away from themes of death on screen. Made all the scenes that much more powerful in ways you usually don't see in kids movies nowadays.

Curious if they'll follow the books and try making a 2 & 3 and they can stay on par with this.

Are US kids’ already dwindling attention spans going to be saved from exposure to the TikTok algorithm? Yes.

You're pinning the blame on tiktok when this also applies to YouTube (shorts and not), Instagram (Reels), Twitter. If we wanted an actual solution here we would implement actual children screen time laws, ironically similar to the under 18 gaming laws that have been implemented in China.

Tiktok is the only platform I've seen legitimate progressive movement on various issues and discussions centering on what that means and takes, in a way that actually fosters a great democratic progressive movement in the US.

From all I've read on this issue, not a single person has provided me with any insight into what or who this benefits that does not also apply to every other social media other than an entirely fabricated myth that they're controlling the algorithms to spread anti US sentiment. Anti-US sentiment definitely exists, but it exists as a discussion around what the US is currently doing. I.e. funding Israel, and as a counterargument to that I am also fed state department interviews on my FYP.

This is referring to the team working on the self driving functionality.

Bans LGBT+ people

My fyp is full of bipoc LGBTQ+ people? Twitter on the other hand tries to feed me right wing news sources and disinformation all the time. There's a spectrum here and TikTok is far on the other side.

Also to be frank the algorithm is by far the best out of any company with a "for you" algorithm. It blows pretty much anything else out of the water entirely.

These loans are out right predatory. I was offered a 12% interest rate 7 years ago and have friends who've been offered 16%!!!

Yes you can say just don't sign it, but we're 17 years old we can't comprehend how much affect a 16% interest rate will have on you in 8 years and you've been told all your life college is the goto life path and you have to do this to get a "good job" and live a good life.

I agree we should payback the money we loaned, but taking advantage of genz via predatory loans for wanting a higher education is downright criminal in itself.

Adding onto this a lot of us will struggle to make these payments. I have 20k in loans and I haven't paid a dime on EVER. Now I suddenly have a second car payment out of nowhere!

I recently hired into a data analytics team

I work in Data Engineering and have spent most my time on analytics teams. They don't have a SWE/CS background and generally because of that don't follow any good programming practices. In my experience style guides are hard to get them to follow properly even if you set up SQLFluff for them., I can barely make them see the advantage of not committing directly to main (at least we're using git). It's very frustrating.
