  You understand that the data these assholes bought was on the open market and there was NOTHING stopping the CCP from acquiring it right??

  Except that they would have to buy it, and there would be visibility into what they were buying, and they could only buy what is for sale. TikTok collects a whole lot of info other apps don't. That's part of why techdirt's arguement about this is so fucking dumb.

  who scared xenophobic

  Sigh There's nothing xenophobic about hating the CCP. No different than Putin, really, except a more credible threat.

  In closing, you’re a fuckwit and please fsck all the way off.

  Hey, you too, man!

  “Fish” means a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.

  Dumbass, I KNOW.

  the second is the California Supreme Court declining to hear the case.

  Well, that's sad, judicial activism for the win. They effectively rewrote the statue for political reasons. This is how countries fall.

  1. Models have no been predictive. (no, not even that one article that tells you they've been predictive but they backfit the data after fudging variables)
  2. Co2 emissions in the US have been going down for decades. But it doesn't matter cuz China is building a new coal plant every 5 min (no not really but it's a lot). It just doesn't matter, global (human) emissions will go up.

  Actual pollution from natural gas is miniscule.

  That is a shitty citation, citations are meant to be links to direct information

  It's a great citation. When I put actual effort into it you dumbasses eityher don't understand the math or attack the source. Nonetheless all the info is there, you don't even have a scroll very far.

  Saying that doesn’t make it so.

  But the replication rate does.

  Maybe the “terrorist” moniker is right for you and your ilk; after all, you seem to have no qualms admitting you’re here to harass us for the simple reason of being not on your side.

  Speech is not violence, and if my refuting you and calling you names "terrorizes" you that's sad really.

  You are a pussy who thinks Trump is your lord and savior

  Tbh, my favorite thing about Trump is that he pisses you off. That, and the economy.

  And yet… for some strange reason you’ve been going back and forth with them on the topic of your “reminder” and totally failing to “not interact” with them…

  As in "not go through line by line and refute his ridiculous long posts" Still going to remind him of that really dumb thing he said and tell him to fuck off.

  You didn’t even know about the reproducibility crisis affecting sociology

  There is no such crisis outside of your own imagination.

  This is why I don't believe you when you claim the Bari Weiss thing was a joke. (that and that it clearly wasn't a joke) https://www.news-medical.net/life-sciences/What-is-the-Replication-Crisis.aspx#:~:text=The%20replication%20crisis%2C%20also%20known,almost%20impossible%20to%20accurately%20reproduce.

  I wasn’t trying to be hateful, dude.

  1. I actually don't believe you
  2. I wasn't referring to THIS time, actually, just your posting in general.

  Thank you for your concern. Get fucked.

  You were legitimately confused, and it continued, hilariously, for a half dozen comments. A typo doesn't get you out of it, sorry.

  Sigh That was a joke, you idiot.

  No, it was not. You continued for some time and were visibly confused and said something to the effect "how would I know who that was" after being confronted on it. (you should have known who that was) So now I know not only that you are deeply uninformed and kinda dumb (I'm actually starting to suspect you have severed aspergers?) but that you're willing to lie about it. It's encouraging you have the sense to be embarrassed about it now, but also sad you're willing to lie about it.

  I’ve been joking about every time you mention that name because you seriously can’t seem to let it go.

  I absolutely do not believe you, especially in light of your comments at the time. And I will not let it go, because it's my reminder not to interact with you.

  I dunno, don't violate your vows?

  They also could've actually used the app and seen their faces, mind you. I'm married, I don't go on tinder cuz someone I know might see. No, it's not nearly as bad as the CCP having everyone's data, sorry.

  Should evidence of that ever come out, I would write about it first thing.

  It did, you just lied about it.

  To date, no such evidence has come out.

  lying is not a media strategy. Your reputation sags more every day. Is telling liberals what they want to hear how you envisioned your career? Cuz that's what it is now, apparently.
