Lol, curious if he's truly day to day or will be out for the rest of the series

China <> US relations have actually been at a much better place this last half a year. This articles pretty big on the fear mongering.

As a heavy tiktok user I would probably only use this if it had an algorithmic feed.

What the actual fuck was that???!!

Frank Vogel really ain't catching a break is he 😭

Unfortunate timing, but definitely well deserved. Only 1 assist away from averaging a triple double over the course of the season.

Thunder looking solid 👀

The "kicked" ball into the moving screen really just killed that game, I know shit happens but really unfortunate ending.

Perhaps a bad example because most people undermine them, but China has still decided to move forward with 4 different nuclear facilities this year despite having an ABUNDANCE of solar manufacturing. If they found that decision worthwhile I would think the opposite, assuming most of the reasoning is current battery tech can't sustain dark periods at a massive scale, but I'm not an expert.

Also just saw you mentioned nuclear costs in another comment, I suggest you look at South Korea and China's cost per facility compared to the US, they're able to build and maintain facilities at about half the US does.

Relevant videos if anyone wants to see the violence for themselves. Its an absolute joke that most US media sources are framing this as a "Clash" or "Violence erupts". This is an attack on peaceful protestors.

Great clutch shot, honestly such a great fucking series even though the 4-1 doesn't show it.

Very well fought by LeBron

Swapping to new phones is really dreadful because of apps installs. It seems like the whole process is great EXCEPT app installs.

If you have to ask that question you definitely don't use Tiktok it's far far superior algorithmically than Reels and YT Shorts which are both absolute garbage.

The article talks about why they'd prefer to shut down if you take their word it. Essentially the US is such a tiny portion of ByteDances revenue, it would be more optimal to shut down then to risk the sale of their algorithm. Assuming they're using relatively similar algorithms on Douyin, and they don't want whoever they sell to to turn around and sell to their Chinese competition, which is where the real money is being made for ByteDance.

Hard to pin the blame singularly on one when the other is complicit in the same system.

Haven't read the books, but isn't Paul/Leto II taking the golden path ironically an implied long-term hope for humanity? >!Since it's understood humanity will die out otherwise.!<

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.

Personally I've worked out for years doing primarily the big 4, and have gotten good results. Occasionally id do assistance work but not usually. The only thing that's noticeable are my arms and back are a little lacking in definition imo, but not severely. Id say you should be fine, especially if you plan to pick it up more accessory work later on.

I also lift on the heavier side of my %ORM for strength though.

Platforms such as TikTok operate on "pushing" content the algorithm wants instead of users "pulling" content they want to see

This is just outright wrong, like hilariously wrong and if you used the platform for more than 10 minutes you'd see that. Tiktok is the ONLY social media that feeds me content I want to see as accurately and often as I want. It will even adjust the videos I see within the same 30 minute session to feed me more of what I'm favoring within that 30 minute session.

There is not any other single social media that does this.

There is a severe misunderstanding of what this is going on in this thread. 4 years ago when regulations were introduced on shipping pollution it vastly reduced the amount of cloud trail produced off the pollution. Covid also played a role here as there were far less active ships.

That pollution mixing with the clouds is theorized to have actually been helping stave off ocean warming because of the increased cloud coverages around shipping lanes reflecting more sunlight.

Now there have been tests in the past 4 years to recreate the cloud coverages with sea salt in order to bring the rate of temperature increase back down to the previous levels.

Does this solve climate change no of course not. But it does fix an accidental fuckup we made that came from an ultimately good decision in standardizing emissions in 2020. And we need to do anything possible to bring the RATE OF CHANGE down.
