African-American usually refers to descendants of America's black slave trade. They are not Africans who moved to America. We don't call dutch born American emigrants Dutch-American. We call them Dutch. We don't call Chinese born American emigrants Chinese-American. We call them Chinese. Their nationality or continental heritage is usually how they are referred to. Calling Musk an African-American is by a long way, more racist than calling him unamerican.
So I learned a physics lesson on a forklift. I backed up beside a pallet on the ground and looked back there to line myself up. What I didn't see was the wooden 2x4 hanging off of the pallet directly in the path of the forklift driving in reverse. So I ran over the board and loony tunes style, the board flew up through the cabin smacking me dead on the side of the face.
Honestly I think it's a terrible precedent to set. Now the government can just say they don't like XYZ website and are banning it. That wasn't really something they did 10 years ago. Unless of course it was illegal activity. But I don't think this is a net win for the internet. Regardless of what decision has been made, freedoms were removed and citizens' rights were sidestepped for political means. I think it shouldn't be the government's job to protect us from ourselves.
I was totally onboard with banning tiktok on government computers and I was completely on board with the government publicly expressing concerns over the motives of tiktok as a business. That's where I personally believe this should have stopped. Inform the people of the danger and then let them decide what to do with that information.
The problem with that idea though, is that nation-wide, citizens' trust in the government is at an all-time low. So even if the government said tiktok is bad and you shouldn't use it, people already don't trust the government. Maybe they should work on regaining the trust their people had for them 65 years ago before it tries to get people to behave how they think we should.
I grew up in California. I can tell you it's a very big place with lots of different types of folks. Most of the state geographically is conservative. Even a few of the largest cities in the state vote Red. LA is just that densely populated.
The users and posts in instance B are invisible to users in instance A. Regardless of if the messages are in instance C
Even worse is the electoral college distribution among those populations. And the winner-take-all nature of our presidential elections
It's pretty obvious what people mean when they are referring to the states. When referring to states that are not the United States of America, we usually use the word country. Context provided indicates we are specifically talking about the USA in this post. Thank you for playing the smart ass game
I don't see any missing states. Maybe I'm mistaken but I do believe I see 50 states
Instance C is unrelated to A and B blocking each other. Why wouldn't it be able to see posts from either unless it was also blocked?
And this idiot's vote is dozens of times more powerful than that of any voter in any major city in the country.
