There is concern that ByteDance may be giving the Chinese government access to data on US citizens. It’s worth noting that no proof of this actually happening has surfaced.

Mostly because of this. TikTok is the app collecting massive amounts of data on its users with dubious intent and questionable security that is currently being scapegoated, and discord is on the long list of popular apps that collect massive amounts of data their users with dubious intent and questionable security that we are not scapegoating.
Don’t ruin your own experience because someone else is enjoying it differently than you like to
I got it eventually. I tend to put my nose right up to the screen to uncross my eyes enough, and slowly pull it away until it comes into focus, but the right one is harder because it’s supposed to be closer, and therefore bigger.
Cross eye is easier for me, but these are never cross eyed.
I’m having a really hard time making out the one on the right, but the one on the left definitely is.
Either this is implying that Linux users are hiding who they are to fit in, and Windows users are comfortable in their own skin, or this is just transphobic as fuck.
If it’s the former, this may be the wrong sub for you. If it’s the latter, this may be the wrong world for you.
You accept, must the frog
For what it’s worth, at no point was I trying to misinterpret what you’re saying. I actually, really, appreciate your thoughts on this. I don’t entirely agree with your tactic, but I get it.
Mostly, I think you friendly fire regularly. Sometimes, I really think people don’t get what you mean, because there was ambiguity. Sometimes you attack someone before they’ve made a point to disagree with. In this particular thread, the whole thing started with:
Care to share any evidence towards the kicks being triggered by olfactory overload?
Maybe I’m assuming good intent, but I don’t see a reason to assume that’s someone doubting you, over someone looking for some reading on cats. I made fun of you for you calling him ignorant with a copy and paste of a message you used on me, and I definitely didn’t have a point in the argument, and I definitely don’t see how any amount of reading comprehension of your earlier messages would have gotten me to a place of understanding that you were trying to out belligerent me.
I would argue that asking for clarification or examples is not inherently disingenuous. It can be, but it’s also a requirement for healthy discussion. You are equally punishing well-intentioned curiosity. I suspect you maybe enjoy being abrasive more than your explanation accounts for… but I get that it’s sort of a bit, and you’re doing okay.
I’m slightly concerned that you’ll push people away from the platform. The kind of trolling you’re doing is really hard to distinguish from the kind of trolling that makes Internet forums only really accessible to able bodied cis white males
Your go-to seems to be some real ableist bullshit. This thread was about cats, and I’m not exactly sure we need to gatekeep it to people who hold up to your expectations for debating acumen.
I know you’ll respond with some ad hominem attack that doesn’t reference this message at all, but a few questions.
How is asking if you’re okay a show of belligerence? How are any of your actions a show of decorum? You started by calling me illiterate, and just now called me a fuckwit. How does that fall into any definition of good faith communication? I stopped being angry at you. I’m not trying to insult you. But everything you say is so sad and pathetic. I legitimately haven’t been able to get you out of my head because I can’t stop thinking about your complete lack of self reflection.
A good half of your comments are insulting people for asking you questions, or responding to you at all. Your response to being acknowledged is anger. You push away everyone. You must be so alone. That warrants sympathy.
I didn’t say I didn’t understand anything. I’m not confused. I asked if you’re okay. Sympathy is not confusion.
But really, I’ve been going through your comment history. You attack everyone over everything. Are you okay?
Yup. You got me. I can’t read the comment you deleted.
But, are you okay? This thread was filled with you attacking people trying to talk about cats. Do you need to talk something out?
You just say this every time anyone asks you for evidence, don’t you? Well, I’m glad you found more people to scream at.
Employees of ByteDance might be Chinese, but they don’t work for the government. They work for ByteDance. I haven’t found anyone claiming to have proof that data in US citizens has left the company. Just fears that it could.
