1. And everyone seems to ignore the part about how it's not meant to kill TikTok, just force its sale (within the next 6 months) to some US-based owner instead of the CCP.

  2. Is it a "US-based owner" or simply just a "not-Chinese based" owner? I had thought that the bill in the past has pretty much said that it could go practically anywhere... just not China

  3. Now... is it a "ban", or is it a bill forcing divestiture of the Chinese company with ownership?

  4. Give it a while. I think companies will move over to using Huawei’s Hongmeng.

  5. Given the "China 2025" policy by the CCP, you're probably right that the government will heavily recommend Chinese nationals buy a Chinese brand over a foreign brand.

  6. The bill is moving through Congress right now, and it has bipartisan support.

  7. But hasn't that been the case for a good while now, though? I feel like I've been seeing posts about it for at least a few months.

  8. It appears CPS is spending >$60,000 per student at FDA and still has a graduation rate of 68%.

  9. Because it's a jobs program for the CTU.

  10. I'm on the fence about that, actually. This predicament is absolutely caused by the moratorium on school closures within the CTU's last contract, absolutely.... but this school does not really have a ton of CTU members, and the percentage of staffing costs spent on educators compared to administrative roles is absolutely skewed heavily towards administrators (about half) when they generally only make up a small percentage of costs (around 12%).

  11. It's not that they think Donnie is pro-gay, it's just that they think anything left of "they should be all round up and shot" is too liberal.

  12. Did you already forget about the aid workers that Isreali forces killed just a couple weeks ago? Or are you going to argue that they were Hamas too?

  13. The last election in Palestine was held in 2006. Most of the folks Israel is currently starving to death weren't born, or were children, when Hamas was elected.

  14. Its also worth asking: can we be sure that it was a truly fair election?

  15. Best I can give you is a delayed trial followed by the supreme court granting immunity for.... reasons

  16. I would like to point your attention to the post from yesterday, with some NIMBY fucks protesting the construction of new residential for reasons.

  17. Someone that hasn't been around for a while, but I would go with Bezewanst**.** Dude wasn't even a fn noble, and massively overplayed his hand.

  18. France or Italy. They're very chic without being OTT

  19. I see France and raise you Japan. They get a ton of their style from France, but have IMO elevated it.

  20. Given the size and scope of the trial, there's no way in hell they're not being sequestered.

  21. Well, one claims to watch Fox News and MSNBC. I’ve never met anyone who has a genuine interest in any other news alongside Fox, unless it’s newsmaxx or oann. So there may already be one Trumper on the jury.

  22. I could see if it were like fox business or something.. But saying you watch "Fox News and MSNBC" is the typical lie these shitfucks love to say when you call them out on getting all their news from a single garbage source.

  23. Probably the same thing I did the last time the internet went out. Fucking my wife, then taking a nap.

  24. If the internet is out, how would you use Reddit on your phone?

  25. I apparently didn't read into the question enough - I had assumed OP was just asking if the internet at home went out. If the internet went out entirely, everywhere... well, I probably wouldn't know for a while because I don't have cable... so I would likely just assume there is a regional outage.

  26. I went out with this one woman a whole bunch of times. We've lived together for a while, had this big party where we dressed up nice and fancy and invited our family and friends to watch us give friendship rings or something to eachother.

  27. It starts in elementary, though, and snowballs from there.

  28. Well, there is a bit of a misunderstanding here. Kids do know how to read, they just read at an incredibly low grade level.. some of the reasoning I've heard from some educators: lots of education systems just assumed that kids within the technological age would consume a lot of content, so focusing heavily on reading beyond the basic "this is how you read" was far more limited compared to millennials and GenZ.

  29. Heavily agree with the computer stuff. I'm Gen X (got on the internet in 1988, when that took a bit of doing) and for a while, it was true that "young people know computers, older people don't."

  30. As someone that works in technology, I was fucking terrified that I would constantly be competing with younger people as they grew up and entered the workforce.

  31. Lol you have no idea what you're talking about.

  32. While I don't agree with the comment above yours... I don't know about yours, to be honest....

  33. Emotional/mental neglect, alienation, consumerist culture, gender roles, lack of third spaces, and the general, genderless loneliness brought on by social media.

  34. I would absolutely just place the blame firmly on social media, to be honest. From my own kids, it's weird watching them put so much effort into their online appearance and persona while spending so little time with friends in person.

  35. Holy shit these clowns try to rationalize every despicable thing Trump does. It’s astonishing.

  36. The especially fucked up thing about this is that, IIRC, this is directly about paying people to cover up the election interference, not about paying people to hide an affair.

  37. I didn’t see that one. I honestly just wonder how these people aren’t dead with all of the weird chemicals they ingest.

  38. Seriously.. only thing I can think of is that while the chemicals give them cancer, the chemicals also give their cancer cancer. So it's a nice, stable balance between the cancer killing them, and the cancer's cancer killing the cancer.

  39. And people bitching about new housing developments like this is the reason for

  40. The whole "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help. mentality started with Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater in 1964 as a response to the passage of Medicare and the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

  41. This. This shit has been happening for a long time, and has steadily progressed to this point.

  42. Not making any claims regarding Hillary specifically, but politicians receiving large "speaking fees" from Wall Street is absolutely a loophole that allows pretty direct bribery.  Writing a book? Not so much.

  43. While true, it's worth pointing out that Clinton still has speaking engagements like she did before, and her fee is still ungodly high.

  44. like when Bernie Sanders’ “massive wealth” was reported (allllmost 2 mil after being in congress 35 years)

  45. Which is fucking hilarious, since 2 million at that age just means that you had an above-average paying job and saved for retirement.

  46. The thing.. so many people get pissed off at you if you're not speeding as fast as them. I would be passing someone in the left lane doing about 15 over.. and then some psychopath will speed up behind me doing like 35-40 over and honk their horn and flash their brights at me.

  47. “If they’re slower than you, they’re an asshole. If they’re faster then you, they’re a maniac.” - George Carlin

  48. While I do love this quote... someone doing 110 on the highway is a fucking maniac.

  49. Like what? The only thing they are like Apple in is having the eSop, like the App Store. But so does Playstation and Xbox. And the gaming market is way more competitive than the phone OS market is.

  50. Nintendo has entirely locked down their walled garden for nearly 40 years. If nintendo didn't want you making a game for any of their platforms, you aren't making a game for that platform - hell, some have argued that their control over their ecosystem is even heavier than Apple's.

  51. Add to this the awesome news about them laying off like 14k manufacturing workers. Lol, this company is a shit show.
