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.

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.

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.

Distributing evenly prevents a few things:

• Increasing server cost on a single instance host
• Less reliance on a single instance means, the single instance is less likely to fuck over their members (via advertising or data sharing)
• Less likely of a situation where one instance can create a sort of monopoly of Lemmy communities and take them private via defederation, leading everyone to join that singular Lemmy instance to see the content.
