I feel like the only guy in the room that wasn't* addicted to meth after someone took all the meth away.

Couldn't care less about TikTok

...what? I don't get what you're saying. Are you saying you want to try meth? Because that's how I read it. But I feel like I'm wrong...but that's how I read it.

Typo corrected

[–] Lost_My_Mind 2 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, that makes way more sense.

Ok. So you think it's good that the US government just censored half of the entire country?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Uh... no.

To carry the analogy, I'm not rooting for the guy taking away the meth, or the guy giving it back. I'm just saying I think it's weird to be the only one not going through withdrawal.

Also, maybe stop doing meth.

Ok, but this ban isn't just for tiktok, you realize that right? If Trump wants to consider UK and adversary he could ban the BBC app as well? This wasn't just a tiktok ban it's a ban on ALL "foreign adversary" apps. Nobody gives a shit you never used it.

Disclaimer: I think Trump is a criminal asshole.

Technically, Trump didn't ban anything (this time). Biden did. Trump's just getting credit for bringing it back.

Also, I don't give a shit what you think everyone else gives a shit about.

edit: actually, to clarify; Neither of them banned TikTok. Congress passsed a law, and the Supreme Court upheld it. Biden just didn't block it. And Trump can't magically unblock it, he can just delay it by 90 days.
