Perhaps a bad example because most people undermine them, but China has still decided to move forward with 4 different nuclear facilities this year despite having an ABUNDANCE of solar manufacturing. If they found that decision worthwhile I would think the opposite, assuming most of the reasoning is current battery tech canโt sustain dark periods at a massive scale, but Iโm not an expert.
Also just saw you mentioned nuclear costs in another comment, I suggest you look at South Korea and Chinaโs cost per facility compared to the US, theyโre able to build and maintain facilities at about half the US does.
Relevant videos if anyone wants to see the violence for themselves. Its an absolute joke that most US media sources are framing this as a โClashโ or โViolence eruptsโ. This is an attack on peaceful protestors.

If you have to ask that question you definitely donโt use Tiktok itโs far far superior algorithmically than Reels and YT Shorts which are both absolute garbage.
The article talks about why theyโd prefer to shut down if you take their word it. Essentially the US is such a tiny portion of ByteDances revenue, it would be more optimal to shut down then to risk the sale of their algorithm. Assuming theyโre using relatively similar algorithms on Douyin, and they donโt want whoever they sell to to turn around and sell to their Chinese competition, which is where the real money is being made for ByteDance.
I really hope theyโre calling for divestments. I love the sentiment of โWe demand a free Palestineโ but unfortunately wonโt accomplish much as realistically thatโs unattainable from their current situation.
Protesting for university and highschool divestments from Israel/those involved is a much better use of their power in a way that can make long-term strides towards a truly freev Palestine / non terroristic Israel.
Are US kidsโ already dwindling attention spans going to be saved from exposure to the TikTok algorithm? Yes.
Youโre pinning the blame on tiktok when this also applies to YouTube (shorts and not), Instagram (Reels), Twitter. If we wanted an actual solution here we would implement actual children screen time laws, ironically similar to the under 18 gaming laws that have been implemented in China.
Tiktok is the only platform Iโve seen legitimate progressive movement on various issues and discussions centering on what that means and takes, in a way that actually fosters a great democratic progressive movement in the US.
From all Iโve read on this issue, not a single person has provided me with any insight into what or who this benefits that does not also apply to every other social media other than an entirely fabricated myth that theyโre controlling the algorithms to spread anti US sentiment. Anti-US sentiment definitely exists, but it exists as a discussion around what the US is currently doing. I.e. funding Israel, and as a counterargument to that I am also fed state department interviews on my FYP.
Havenโt read the books, but isnโt Paul/Leto II taking the golden path ironically an implied long-term hope for humanity? >!Since itโs understood humanity will die out otherwise.!<
Personally Iโve worked out for years doing primarily the big 4, and have gotten good results. Occasionally id do assistance work but not usually. The only thing thatโs noticeable are my arms and back are a little lacking in definition imo, but not severely. Id say you should be fine, especially if you plan to pick it up more accessory work later on.
I also lift on the heavier side of my %ORM for strength though.
Platforms such as TikTok operate on โpushingโ content the algorithm wants instead of users โpullingโ content they want to see
This is just outright wrong, like hilariously wrong and if you used the platform for more than 10 minutes youโd see that. Tiktok is the ONLY social media that feeds me content I want to see as accurately and often as I want. It will even adjust the videos I see within the same 30 minute session to feed me more of what Iโm favoring within that 30 minute session.
There is not any other single social media that does this.
There is a severe misunderstanding of what this is going on in this thread. 4 years ago when regulations were introduced on shipping pollution it vastly reduced the amount of cloud trail produced off the pollution. Covid also played a role here as there were far less active ships.
That pollution mixing with the clouds is theorized to have actually been helping stave off ocean warming because of the increased cloud coverages around shipping lanes reflecting more sunlight.
Now there have been tests in the past 4 years to recreate the cloud coverages with sea salt in order to bring the rate of temperature increase back down to the previous levels.
Does this solve climate change no of course not. But it does fix an accidental fuckup we made that came from an ultimately good decision in standardizing emissions in 2020. And we need to do anything possible to bring the RATE OF CHANGE down.
