Nah. Don't feel like being caught up in one of the 15 mass shootings per day where the government will try to brush it off and blame it on trans people.

I may be dirt poor in Canada, but at least my trans neighbour and I are both safe when we leave our places.

You're missing a big point, though. While you are statistically more likely to get in a car accident, you need to look at the whole picture.

Toronto is a tight city. No one is getting into extreme collisions. Someone hitting you going 30 or 40 km an hour, isn't going to do anything except damage your car.

You are not going to get stabbed in your car, pushed onto tracks, etc.

I don't really care to have a car vs public transit argument. You do whatever you prefer. But it's important to be fair about the comparison.

Just saw the video on TikTok. No one even attempted to trip the guy or anything. They all just ran.

Sad.

You're unhinged and insufferable. I said none of those things. Please, get help.

You're upset because I think China having my data vs the US is the slightly lesser of two evils.

If I could pick, I'd pick no one having my data. Both countries are shit and both countries would do bad things with my data. One has less control over me, so I'd pick that one, I guess.

you have to be dumb blind and stupid to think extradition is the issue here.

Reddit.com is that way. I am now blocking you because I am not going to be the type of person that turns Lemmy into Reddit 2.0

My simple point still stands. Again, sorry you don't realize that no one wants America to have their data. Your country is falling apart. I mean damn, you're so upset about something you disagree with, that you're calling me dumb, blind, and stupid. Did you grab a thesaurus and type all of the words you read on the one page? because two of those things mean the same thing.

Sorry to everyone else reading this thread. I did not mean to start a petty argument on Lemmy.

Please tell me where China is pushing their agenda on me? My TikTok is full of American and Canadian creators, talking about technology, science, animals, and comedy. Also a bit of food.

That's also not my argument, but congrats on missing the point.

If you don't understand what I'm saying, that's on you. I'm not having a back and forth about this any longer, I escaped Reddit because of that. You can go back there if you want to argue and mix words with others. I'm not having that.

I'm not having this argument lmao. Go back to Reddit if you want to have a back and forth about 'Murica numba 1!

Also, not quite sure what you mean about the algorithm. I watch TikTok and get all American and Canadian content creators about technology, animals, comedy, and science. If you're getting manipulation content, perhaps that's on you?

Your tinfoil hat is too tight.

I'm not talking about that. Please stay on topic. My simple statement is true, and doesn't mean that I love China. I don't. You'll never catch me ever talking positive about China or ever stepping foot in China.

It seems like you don't understand the point.

I also think it's really weird that Americans are replying to me being really defensive over other countries not preferring to give America all their data.

Like I said, America isn't as great as Americans think it is. The rest of the world doesn't want their data funneled into America. I'm sorry if this is how you're finding out that America isn't number one.

I'm really not trying to be a dick or argue, I just don't get how you don't understand the basic concept that Canada will hand me over to the US, but won't hand me over to China.

It's also frustrating that you guys think that if I don't agree with America having my data, that I love China? I don't. Never said I did. I hate both places having my data. I hate my own country having my data. It's not all black and white.

.... And when they are spying, and see something they don't like, they CAN come for me. Canadian government won't stop them.

I don't want a shitty country like America to spy on me. Sorry. America is not as great as Americans act like it is.

Like I've said, I want no one to spy on me. But if I had to pick, I'd pick China because it makes me safer. Not because I'd like it. I wouldn't. Fuck spying.

Who said about getting banned?

If I pirate Photoshop, Adobe could come for me if they really wanted to. Canada doesn't care about piracy, you don't need to use a VPN here, but if the American company Adobe really wanted at me, Canada would not stop them.

If I pirated some Chinese software ~~there~~ their government couldn't do shit to me.

You know geohot, the guy sued by Sony for hacking the ps3? He was American, but that doesn't change much. If he was Canadian, he would've been fucked just the same. Now if I hacked a Chinese console to enable piracy, literally nothing would happen to me.

If I made a threat on the Presidents life, I would be watched and potentially have American feds knocking on my door. If I threatened China, I would get upvotes and people would laugh.

You're not really understanding what I'm saying. I'm assuming you're American? The country where pretty much every massive company operates from? Well, the rest of the world hates that nearly everything we do is funneled back into the US.

Use Windows? MacOS? Android? iOS? Gmail? Outlook? Yahoo? Microsoft Office? Facebook? Instagram? Reddit?.. the list goes on.

Now imagine if 95% of your data was funneled into a different country. I'm sure you'd hate it. Especially with the state of American politics right now. Your country is dangerous.

One thing I don't understand is why would meta even federate with anyone outside of their own instances anyway?

Makes no sense to ever open up to allow any other instances in. Not like they are crying for users.

The fediverse just makes sense in their own bubble. Turn Facebook, Instagram, and their other apps into the fediverse and federate them all together.

I don't expect them to ever open up to the actual fediverse. Same with BlueSky. I feel like all of these companies will USE the fediverse but in a closed bubble.
