I finally made a TikTok recently. On desktop, I couldn't follow anybody, and after a week I couldn't upload videos. Downloaded the mobile app, and my phone battery started losing 40-50% more battery per day, despite less than 5 minutes of usage per day in the tiktok app (uninstalled tiktok and all of a sudden my battery issues are gone).

Some time in the last week, I was suspended for having my twitch name visible in a tiktok. Or at least I assume so, since they never actually told me why I was suspended, or even that I was until I tried to login to upload a video.

What I'm getting at is, fuck tiktok.

Man, it's worse than that. The CEO left in September 2019 with a multimillion dollar exit package, and went on to become a chairman of GM. The guy below him who mobilized the security team left to be the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley. I did a deep dive video on this today, but I dont want to spam the link. It's in my profile in a recent comment if you're interested.

My favorite example of this so far, the top rated comment on a post about players making a one million science per hour factory in factorio:

Factorio is proprietary software, Mindustry is not

Lemmy is so negative, it even hates Factorio.

They're culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn't go in a fruit salad.

Chex Quest is actually very well-known in the classic Doom community. It's way better than it has any right to be lol.

Reminds me of the biologist from Annihilation. Time to reread the trilogy I guess.

Lol, TJ Miller told this story on his and Cash Levy's podcast, Cashing In, right after it happened. Weird to see it in written form like that.

I actually made a deep dive video on this story today, if anybody is interested. It's honestly insane how far ebay went with this.

Me with Breaking Bad. Just to get ahead of the insufferable BB fans, it's not a bad show, it's just no Wire or Sopranos. Better Call Saul, though? Oh baby, now we're talking.

Hell yeah, Pete & Bas. These two old men go hard as fuck. I've been introing stream with Stepped into the Building for like three months now lol.

I loved parks and rec, and I think that's a super fair way to feel about it. It has a very cheesy veneer hiding some really great comedy. I think 30 Rock had the same problem, and I get why a lot of people weren't into it. Or maybe the comedy just doesn't resonate with a some people, idk. I liked it, but I can see why other people wouldn't, even if I can't verbalize that.

I lost my house in Helene, and I'm still struggling to adjust. My wife, kid, and I are cooped up in a hotel with nothing but clothes. My daughter has some of her stuffed animals, and friends have donated some toys and stuff for her, but otherwise we're just kind of here in limbo. I don't know how long it will be until we can get our home back together and start getting things back to normal.

Lol, you really channeled Dave Barry for that last paragraph.

The peanut butter is exactly the reason he picked that pronunciation. Choosy developers choose gif.

The indie boomer shooter scene is exploding, actually

The movie is very loosely based on the first book. The screenwriter read it, had a dream about it, then wrote the movie based off the dream they had, intentionally never referencing the book while writing it. Which... Idk. Kinda fits the vibe of the story, but I'd love an authentic adaptation of the book, because it's incredible.

The second book was a hard read for me, but it's worth it to get to third, and honestly the third kind of retroactively makes the second one better. There's supposed to be a 4th in the works I believe, but don't quote me on that.

4 × 4 = 16, I don't understand where the confusion is coming from, bud lol

Not to be pedantic, but Ahab actually had an ivory leg, not wood.

I disagree with your last sentence. Not saying air fryers aren't amazing for wings, but you definitely can get juicy, uber-crunchy wings out of a conventional oven with a little bit of prep. A dry brine and a little baking soda will make some insanely juicy wings with a glassy skin in the oven. I prefer to fry mine personally, but that isn't always convenient.
