Same. Why can I remember that shit from the 80's, but I can't remember the name of the coworker I was introduced to two days ago, lol.

Cool in theory, but I've been in a couple of restaurants that use them and it's hit or miss whether the damn things work. In a steakhouse in Orlando, the waitress went through probably 10 of them just to find 4 that actually lit up to give to our party.

Lol, the article you posted isn't even about a donation from Bankman-Fried. It's from another FTX co-founder who's a major GOP donor.

The one time when "BOTH SIDES!" would actually be appropriate, and you whiffed.
"The campaign "involved flooding the political system with tens of millions of dollars in illegal contributions to both Democrats and Republicans made in the names of others in order to obscure the true source of the money and evade federal election law," the indictment states."

Wow, this immediately brought back a memory of me squeezing the skin on my grandmother’s elbow and being amazed it would just stand up and stay there. I called my sister and folks in to show them. Grandma (who was a little vain) was not amused, lol.

I could absolutely see him forming the MAGA party or some shit and ripping the GOP a new one. Would be fun to watch.

When one side is responsible for the vast majority of misinformation and conspiracy bullshit, yeah, that’s the side that should get shut down more often.
Glad Elon was at least smart enough to delete his own misinfo spread within hours of owning the platform at least.

IMO, it's easier to avoid here than on FB comment sections, Twitter threads, etc.
Personal preference, I'm sure.

Fair enough, it was just something I remembered from way back that raised alarms about TikTok that have been proven correct in the years since. There may have even been a different post I'm thinking of, but this is the one I found with a quick Google.

That's why I'm on Reddit more than ever. It's here, but it's not as disruptive as on other platforms.
FB I still use just to keep up with people I actually know.

It's crazy that of those three, I actually hate Facebook the least.
Twitter just went full right-wing nuthouse.
TikTok is, and always has been, Chinese spyware.
