Thank god American media is free and not totally a giant propaganda mill like all those evil nations that aren’t America and not as special as America is.

Sounds like you’ve got a good collection. I love my BB6/2020 SS tip as well! Glad to see another fan here.

My go-to at home is the Hydravong with 2021 SS tip through a small bong. I can get massive clouds nice and cold and not feel like my lungs are breaking.

How do you like the Simrell? I’ve been going back and forth about buying one for a while. I never had vape acquisition syndrome until I discovered DynaVap haha.

It’s so versatile! And glad to see I’m not the only low-temp enthusiast. Low-tell dry herb vapes are the only thing my lame little lungs can handle.

That was a great read, thank you for that!

No, I understand that.

My point is that I think TikTok has a user base that is far less likely to care about privacy, openness of platforms, etc. In my opinion, it’s an app that is built for and used primarily people that don’t care. You can tell them over and over about its privacy abuses, you name it, and they won’t leave.

Reddit and Twitter tend to have older and more often nerdier users that are more likely to know about/understand/care about these issues and react accordingly.

I’m shocked.

But how else do you keep your donors happy and drive your country to war with China?

[–] pensivepangolin 3 points 2 years ago

Because the Sacklers pay our politicians.

Also because we totally won when the Sacklers’ business entities had to pay a fine but left the people themselves…still rich beyond reason and at liberty.

That’s an aspect of lemmy I love! You curate your own feeds of content, so once you’ve exhausted it for a bit….you’re done!

My screen time has dropped 30% and I’m less irritatable during my day, so I think it’s a feature, not a bug.

Well to be fair, Mike’s Hard lemonade IS absolute shit lol

I’m starting to think this guy has to be a plant. I’m not sure to what end.

Although the sadder and lamer truth is likely that this is where we’re at as a country and he’s a natural consequence of our decline.

I am not trying to be condescending, but I get the feeling you may not be as versed in privacy matters. Those other social media apps require access to huge amounts of information about you and everything you do on your device. Location, location history, health and fitness info, contacts, browsing history, etc. Depending on what company we’re talking about, that info is used to generate detailed targeted profiles to sell to advertising companies, and possibly also to train in-house AI models. Lemmy doesn’t do that because it’s a community driven and hosted platform whose goal is not to sell the information generated by its users.
