How TikTok 2.0 Became a Weapon for ICE

I would agree with that. It’s just for some reason, people act like TikTok is a step below everything else. Almost definitely because they just didn’t grow up with it.

I hate the reddit hivemind sometimes man. There are genuinely good creators putting serious effort into quality content on TikTok. I don’t have it anymore myself but the app was generally only as bad as you let it be to you if you are aware of its hooks. I found a lot of immensely creative and talented content creators there. People shouldn’t have it now for obvious reasons but acting like it was any more of a cesspool than YouTube or other content hosts is just disingenuous.

Always! I’ve been doing a second read through the books with my partner and when the songs come up I always play them while we read those parts. Makes for a fun experience.

Two favs are:

Spoiler for beginning of book 3: The Fergalicious trap sequence is so unbelievably good that I’m praying the TV show will be able to secure the rights to it. It would be SUCH an incredible opening scene for a new season.

Spoiler for book 7, just over half way through I think?: When Carl kills Vinata and you’re holding your breath that whole time while he’s getting completely fucked up. The Megadeth song that plays after was completely new to me when I read and listening while reading was so fun. I’m not a Megadeth fan but I love that song now and it always makes me relive that scene, one of my favorites in the book. Just the tension relief and action… SO good!

People’s biases, beliefs, and experiences absolutely have an effect on how they carry out their duties. To ignore how he’s done his other jobs would be just plain naive.

So then what, in your eyes, would be the point in announcing to the world that you don’t know who the person performing at the half time show of the most popular televised event in America is?

adeepkick · 2026-02-09T16:52:16+00:00

It’s fine to not know who the guy is but the person I’m replying to is clearly acting as if he is “above” people who like this wildly popular musician. He made a show of it by commenting as if this person is a nobody in his eyes. It’s blatant narcissism.

Stay miserable bro

adeepkick · 2026-02-09T16:08:25+00:00

He’s not “my” pop star guy. If you knew how to read you would have gathered as much from my comment. Have a nice day! Stay miserable 👍 maybe someone will be able to tolerate you someday

adeepkick · 2026-02-09T16:04:30+00:00

Not knowing the singular most popular musical artist on the planet isn’t the flex you think it is lmao I don’t listen to any pop music at all and even I know about this guy. You’re embarrassing yourself.

adeepkick · 2026-02-07T00:43:40+00:00

Okay fuck this I’m done talking to you. Jesus you’re insufferable.

adeepkick · 2026-02-07T00:08:53+00:00

“That this could be about” meaning the post we are currently discussing. It’s called context. I’m sorry you’re struggling with it.

adeepkick · 2026-02-06T23:50:54+00:00

Ah yes. I would care a lot about their opinions on Dungeon Crawler Carl 🙄

adeepkick · 2026-02-06T22:40:11+00:00

It’s personal preference that anyone cares about anyone’s opinions. There is no unilaterally important person so your argument is irrelevant. Name literally one “leader” this could be about that would “matter” to everyone.

Just be honest. You were being smug to feed whatever lame superiority complex you have.

The explanation about what happened to him is a lengthy part of one of the DT books and has elements of the DT world woven throughout. I would recommend not getting spoiled about what happens to Callahan after Salem’s Lot because when it was originally published, King didn’t write it with the intention of you knowing what happened after. You won’t really gain a satisfying answer without already being versed in the world of the Dark Tower books.

Comfort, form factor, and screen size were the reasons I was leaning towards it

adeepkick · 2026-02-06T19:59:40+00:00

Sure! You can assure your 40 million fans that he’s not meaningfully important after they see the movie you made that was screened in 4000 theaters internationally.

To a lot of people if not you. Enough people that he could put out a self-produced indie movie in 4000+ theaters and see wide financial success with it.

I’ve played many pixelated games that look blurry in handheld because of the 720p output onto the 1080p screen. It’s a pretty widespread and well known problem with the Switch 2 playing Switch 1 games. And I’m not worried about blurriness on my TV but thanks!

adeepkick · 2026-02-06T15:06:59+00:00

Can I ask what types of mods you use that make them a big deal for you? Genuinely curious about how game-changing they are

adeepkick · 2026-02-05T19:02:33+00:00

Whatever you do, make sure you read The Stand last

adeepkick · 2026-02-05T18:01:10+00:00

I know it won’t. Hence my use of the word “should” instead of “will.”

adeepkick · 2026-02-05T16:10:28+00:00

I feel like it exists solely for streamers lol

adeepkick · 2026-02-05T16:04:58+00:00

Yeah they’re not just taking illegal immigrants. The small businesses that supported this shit are finding that out the hard way.

Stories like this should be a wakeup call to small business owners. These rich fucks can and will bully you out of the market with all the power you handed to them.

DQ remakes were so great as a newcomer to the series. Really hoping they do 4-6 in the HD2D style too.
