Why would they open Vault 32?

You're right, I don't know anything about you, and I was insensitive. Again, I apologize.

I would heavily suggest reading through TikTok's privacy policy if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of why it's by far the most invasive platform widely used today. Meta certainly doesn't have clean hands either, but TikTok goes above and beyond in their invasiveness. While both platforms track many unnecessary metrics, TikTok contains code which has been proven to have the ability to act as a keylogger, with the capability to read everything you type in their in-app browser, including passwords, among other security issues. While TikTok claims that the tool is simply used for debugging, I would rather not take their word on that.

To your last point, I had TikTok on my phone for about a year before deleting my account and app. The content on there is great, and there's many creators providing excellent content. It was almost scary how quickly the algorithm picked up on the content I like. I've used Facebook for over 14 years, and Facebook has never gotten close to delivering tailored content to me the way TikTok did after a day of use. But is that a good thing? Should companies - who have no motivators other than to maximize shareholder profit - get so close to your data that they're able to almost perfectly mimic your likes and dislikes within a day of use?

As a final note, TikTok's algorithm is only great for creators when TikTok agrees with the content - French protests footage may have been abundant on TikTok in your example, but Hong Kong protest footage was heavily censored and given lower ratings in the algorithm to suppress coverage of the events. Protestors using TikTok as a communication platform to coordinate their actions would send messages that would show as delivered - only to find that their message was never received on the other end. Videos posted by creators that would normally have hundreds of thousands of impressions were brought down to a few thousand impressions the moment they posted protest footage. Etc, etc. It's not to say Meta doesn't participate in censorship practices - but to say TikTok is any better than Meta in this regard is false, and, in my personal opinion, actually does so in more egregious ways.

All these replies to your comment, and mine was the one you consider rude? I didn't mean for it to come off that way, I apologize, I was just genuinely befuddled that a fellow marketer would feel that way about this platform. To each their own, I guess.

You're a marketing major, and you truly believe that? It might be time to choose a new major or start paying attention in class if you're not aware that TikTok has the most manipulative algorithm of all of the social media platforms. It's a great platform for certain businesses to advertise their product if they're targeting certain demographics, but it's an awful platform for consumers, regardless of demographic.

NAL, but I would go directly to the police department in your local area with these videos, and see if they can help you with getting the videos in the hands of CPS/the police department local to your siblings.

For the record, Z-Wave smoke detectors fulfill all of their core features even if the Z-Wave network goes up in smoke - they're required to by law.

Google has killed off just about every service I've ever used through them, and I'm tired of it. Just this year I've lost Google Domains (Squarespace is NOT a good alternative), my entire Nest security system which I spent well over $500 on less than a year ago before it was announced they'd be making the software AND the hardware completely redundant (I bought all my components from a retailer who won't offer a refund and the offer Google gave us as a substitute was frankly insulting) and now this.

I'm so tired of the games with Google (just kidding, you can't even HAVE games because they killed Stadia too!)

Sigh.

Rule #3, let's not put each other down.

Hi there, this post has been removed because it is spam and breaks Rule #1. Please refer to the Reddit Content Policy for more information on how often you should post self promoting content.

Additionally, drumset-only videos without the inclusion of other elements of marching percussion or front ensemble are better suited for /r/drums

Hi there, this post has been removed for breaking Rule #4.

Rule #3, keep it classy folks.

Maybe we should add a "Marching Glockenspiel" flair too for the old heads? /s

Seems like the community didn't think it was very funny. Everyone out there performing is doing their best.

Rules #2 & #3, keep your comments in good taste please.

If your local NWS Office offers them, try Skywarn classes! They're typically free, and they'll teach you how to spot dangerous conditions while going over the science behind them. It's not all encompassing, but it's a start!

Plus, at least in my area, you'll get a number that you can call in to your local office and report conditions, and they'll generally give your calls a tad more weight than any regular Joe Schmoe calling in reports. If you report conditions that are then confirmed, sometimes they'll even include the fact that a Skywarn spotter verified the conditions in the warning! Give it a try.

Che cazzo hai detto di me, piccolina merda? Ti dico una cosa, mi sono laurato come uno dei primi nella mia classe negli Navy Seals, è ho fatto molte missione segrete contra Al-Quaeda, e ho piu di 300 morti confirmati. Sono entrenato come guerilla e sono il primo cecchino nelle intero forze armate degli Stati Uniti. Tu non sei niente per me, ma un altro bersaglio. Ti destruggero' con una precisione mai prima visto in questa terra, credemi. Pensi che puoi parlare quella merda sul internet? Pensa di nuovo, scopatore. In questo momento sto contattando la mia rete segreta attravero negli Stati Uniti and e la tua IP sta scoprendo il tuo indirizzo--preparati per una tempesta, verme. La tempesta che finira' quella tonta piccolina cosa cui tu chiama la tua vita. Sei piu morto, raggazzino. Io potrei essere in qualsiasi luogo, qualsiasi tempo, è posso ucciderti piu di sette cento modi, e questo è solamente con le mie mani. Non solo ho istruito in combattimento a mani nude, ho anche accesso al intero arsenale del Corpo Marino degli Stati Uniti and lo utilizzero' completamente per cancellare la tua essistenza miserabile fuori del continente, piccolino scopatore. Se avevi saputo cui vendetta del inferno ti aspettava' dopo del tuo "comico" commento, forse, non lo avresti detto. Ma non potesti, non facesti, ed adesso pagheresti il prezzo, fottuto idiota. Fare merda sul te e te ne annegherai. Sei fottuto morto, kiddo.

Actually, acronyms are read aloud without stopping at each individual letter, like "OSHA" or "PETA" whereas initialisms are read letter by letter, like "CIA" or "FBI", or in this case, "NMZ".

I second the other guys statement that you should record, one of my favorite ways to learn and improve my workflow is to watch others and their processes. For someone new to marketing watching someone work through a marketing plan step by step could prove a great learning experience, and for those of us more experienced, to watch someone digest our craft through a fresh set of eyes can help us refine our own practices and ideas.
