I really donāt understand why a number matters so much. If you want to ruffle their jammies, pinpoint how a crab game got a higher score than Stellar Blade on IGN and see how they would react.

So just Famiboards which im assuming is Nintendo related? And Install Base are good?
Resetera is fine for linking to actual info and good discourse but not for attacking posts. Gaf and IconEra are best to avoid

Holy crapā¦ it got signed. Letās see if they can overturn it (again).
It makes me wonder if this opens up the floodgates for other Chinese owned American companies. Iām sure Tencent are following this closely.
This is a fucking nightmare for anyone thatās been paying attention to why US wanted TikTok banned (tldr - youth are using it to spread political awareness, and standing up against genocide on a platform US ultimately couldnāt censor).

Why would you curse at me for this? I donāt get it.
Yeah I donāt like this at all. In the beginning I was like fuck TikTok, trash nonsense, but that was prejudice by me. Iāve found myself quite enjoying it. From very funny videos to helpful stuff like horror movie channels recommending me movies I had never heard of and that I didnāt find during Google searches either. I donāt want it banned.
Sorry I was joking, making me buy things I donāt need!! (Big Gears fan).

Aaaah got it! Yeah itās quite a cool one. I donāt have a wrap for my XSX yet though. It sits next to my TV but itās hard to see, so it would be kinda a waste.
Me neither, however had this been available for purchase I would now be a proud wrap owner 
!!
My Series X is also quite difficult to see in itās current location.

I wonder if Microsoft is still interested in acquiring TikTok. I know it was a pretty bad experience for Satya Nadella, but it would be an opportunity for Microsoft to have a huge social network. Microsoft tried to acquire Discord a few years ago, but TikTok seems more interesting. This could be their big acquisition of the year.

Tiktok is entertaining but I believe the course of bad influence has rose tenfold from it. That said not sure how to feel about this one. Just watching it play out.

Werenāt they outbid by Walmart and Oracle last time?
Iām sure they would try again.
I mean, my understanding is that they arenāt banning it for what it is. They want to ban it because the FBI believes it is a Chinese data harvesting implement that is controlled by the Chinese government.
Why is US threatening to ban TikTok and will other countries follow suit? | TikTok | The Guardian
Why is the US threatening to ban TikTok?
US lawmakers and authorities are concerned that data from TikTokās 170 million US users could be accessed by the Chinese state under national security laws.
Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, the US domestic intelligence and security agency, has said that ByteDance is ācontrolled by the Chinese governmentā and has warned that Beijing authorities can influence people by manipulating the algorithm that curates what people view on TikTok, as well as allowing the government to collect user data for ātraditional espionage operationsā.
Is that true? Hell if I know. Nor do I use tiktok.
