    It really doesn’t set a bad precedent forcing a foreign adversary to have less control over the US population. We should really force the sale of a lot of Chinese properties in the US as well. A foreign government should not have so much control over rental and housing prices in the US.

    Why are you pro foreign adversary controlling the daily lives of Americans? It’s a very odd stance to take and openly say unless you’re not American obviously.

    Wtf? You see nothing wrong with your first two sentences??? “It’s great at disseminating information. The Chinese government learns how I think then starts to show me propaganda they want that will align with my opinions so they can drive how I think and what I learn in the future”

    That’s fucking wild that you’re saying all of this is a positive thing.




  • Brown also owns a large portion of the nicer parts of providence. They’ve been around since the 1700s so that’s how they got so much property and money in the first place. I agree with almost everything you said except the fact that it’s an Ivy League and they’re specifically meant to be prohibitively expensive so you have to be rich or brilliant enough to get a scholarship there. My girlfriend got a full scholarship for Harvard from her government and it is not easy for anyone who doesn’t have money, even with a full scholarship.

    If we were talking about the state schools charging close to as much as Harvard and Brown, then I’d fully agree with you.

    Probably plenty. Tik tok is just the biggest owned by a foreign government that also is showing pretty immediate extreme negative effects on children’s attention spans and learning capabilities.

    But people are still gonna whine because they’re 25 year olds who need to watch 80 videos of unboxing shoes in 4 minutes . That’s really the only pro tik tok argument there is.

    Just pay the $10 for ad free. It’s a shitty answer, but one of the only services that’s still worth it if you use it enough.

    YouTube is the only streaming service I pay for at all and haven’t had to deal with ads in years

    $10-14 (whatever it is) per month for music, podcasts, informational vids/diy, etc. Then just pirating any shows is the only way to do it nowadays. No ads and still exponentially cheaper than tv 20 years ago which was pretty much 50% ads.
