Too cringy. Not worth it. Already deleted it.

Why are American people so obsessed with Tiktok?

In my opinion, TikTok is fantastic once you use it for more than a day. The algorithm needs some time to figure out the type of content you like. Once it does, it'll be hard to find better content elsewhere.

There is no American social media site that comes remotely close. That's why they're so jealous.

Why are American people so obsessed with Tiktok?

It's simply a RTVRN to the tradition of Westerners obsessing over Chinese products: porcelain, tea, silk etc

The comments on this tweet is so overwhelmingly pro-ban that it really shows how deep the anti-China feeling goes in the US. They just don't care about any logic, any appeal to human rights, freedom of speech, data protection laws, nothing. Its now I hate that its Chinese owned so I want to ban it.

The regulator instructed Credit Suisse to write down 16 billion Swiss francs of AT1 bonds, widely regarded as relatively risky investments, to zero, while equity shareholders will receive payouts at the stock’s takeover value.

Lolwut, Credit Suisse is openly robbing 16 billion swiss francs from their debtors. That's basically calling up people with their money deposited in the bank one morning saying "guess what? I don't own you any money!"

That class of bonds is called "shock absorbers". They are designed to shore up the bank's capital ratio, pay high interest, and be the first to be wiped out when the bank is in trouble. People who buys those bonds are gambling that they will be bailed out.

If it isn't the consequences of my own actions... I swear everything ROC does these days always ends up shooting their own foot.

They learned from the worst.

DNS ban... like the FBI hijacked megaupload domain...

They can even get all the US ISPs to blacklist Tiktok server IP addresses and refuse to route traffic to it

A technical question, that I really do not know anything about.

What if Byte-Dance blockchains their entire server platforms?

It's China, they would something that big.

Wonder if that would work?

If the USN can't deal with a few subs with that budget, disband it for worthlessness and found a new navy. The other possibility is they are lying to the people they are supposed to be protecting. Choose your poison

Yeah. There are like 3 Yasen submarines. And the first one is not even that good being basically the first and only of its type. If they are that concerned about the cruise missiles, wait until the Kalibr-M for it comes out with 4,500km range. The current Kalibr has only 2,500km range.

Do they play classical music on TikTok.

Yes, this is a serious question.

What about traditional Chinese instruments?

Tik Tok is the sound of a single braincell bouncing off the inside of a skull.

You need one to keep scrolling down but anything more is reduntant.

Tik Tok Tik Tok Tik Tok...
