Nolan is so overrated his Batman trilogy sucked except Heath Ledger as the joker. Everything since the WW2 film he did has been overly pretentious.

Ready Player One was so bad, but this is a rare instance where the book is worse than the film. At least the film has visuals the book is just cringe and rememberberries.

I avoid PayPal categorically

If Facebook wasn’t behind it trying to make it a thing then it might stand a chance to become a thing.

Mean girls… Christmas movie.

AHH Encarta and the mind maze

Everything that is built for profit is designed for maximum retention of users i.e. addiction.

I’m not sure I follow what you mean by “I’d find it hard to believe that a given person has never seen tiktok content outside tiktok”

I’m not defending TikTok blindly here, it just annoys me when people pass judgement with pretty much zero knowledge on something except from what they’ve heard/read.

I know TikTok is flawed yes but no more or less than any other profit driven app/site. If you don’t like short form content then that’s fine, personally I think there’s a time and place for it.

That people should try things before they fully pass judgement. I’m not particularly pro TikTok but a lot of Lemmy’s anti TilTok views are ones they’ve picked up from media parroting.

Ok tldr please

Yeah a lot that the media have been blaming TikTok for for years, they’ve wanted it shut down from day one.

News reports and interviews aren’t exactly peer reviewed science?

I’m guilty of using tiktok half the people on here have never used it. But you’re exactly right a few years ago it was actually not too bad, but these days every other video is an advert for some AliExpress level shit.

Please enlighten me to how Tiktok is killing teens.

Cool I bet you sleep with your curtains/blinds open, don’t lock your doors and post your address online right? Who cares about privacy.

Nothing like a shading backdoor onto people’s devices than a literal Trojan horse such as a virus scanner.

I’m not American but here’s my view. On one hand fuck the CEO guy it’s great, but on the other it’s scary that someone is out there capable of doing this.

But I also guess that the murderer isn’t necessarily a cold blooded murderer. So I’m leaning towards no.

Wasn’t that the plot of the Acolyte?

In hindsight the only good Star Wars movie is TESB.

Doom is Wolfenstein but refined and better

Yeah I agree. The world is incredible, but the missions and gameplay not so much.
