Mine too..she's spoiled. My brother who lives with me HATES this, and hates that I indulge her, but there's no way I am not going to give a thirsty kitty a drink!

I have a similar jar, it's completely empty.

Apparently, his last words were "Bite my shiny metal ass, meatbag!"

I hear it reads like stereo instructions...

Not true at all. The government doesn't always telegraph what it knows or how it knows it...and they ARE working on legislation to enact a total ban.

Answer: TikTok is a company that is owned, at least in part, by the Chinese government. They are known to collect TONS of data from users, including location data, and that data is sent back to servers IN CHINA. While the company has tried to deflect and say they are perfectly innocent, there is no real reason to believe that user data harvested by the company isn't being diverted to other, more nefarious purposes, by the Chinese Communist Party and it's spy agencies. Remedies such as relocating the servers to the US where access can be monitored and controlled has been met with resistance, and there are indications that the NSA or CIA or other agencies have found them to be a security risk.

Depends on who you are. If you in the military, they might want to know your movements, where you go to work, where you live, how often you go to a particular place, what networks your phone connects to, what your bank balance is, etc...

Even what we would consider "inconsequential" data, in the wrong hands, can be used to devastating effect! It might also let them know who might be vulnerable to being compromised.

Let's say, as an example, you worked in a top secret facility developing software for the new F-35 fighters. Let's also say that you were in an extra-marital affair with someone. You had better believe that foreign agents who learn of this would use it to try to blackmail you...this literally happens ALL OF THE TIME.

Just because YOU, PERSONALLY aren't aware of what is going on doesn't mean the US Government is also ignorant. There may be knowledge that the CIA or NSA picked up on that indicates that Tik Tok is a security threat.

well, you could propel the blade with springs, or as someone else mentioned, rockets...

No, I am pretty sure a guillotine needs gravity to work...

odds are a bit higher if your last name is "Macron"...just sayin'

And you aren't going to see them much longer...

LOL, seriously? OK...

Let them leave then. Let them lose their French (and EU) citizenship as well. If they want the benefits of belonging to a civilized society, then they need to help fund it. PERIOD.

Um, because the rich haven't been paying their fair share for going on 40-50 years now? Or haven't you been paying attention?

I am not talking about you...unless you are making $300,000/yr or more. I have no idea why the poor constantly defend the rich...

Shows how bullshit this rating system is if STD gets higher ratings than TNG.

Are there alternatives to having a popular uprising that burns the current government to the ground?

Tax the rich, maybe? Just a thought...

came for this comment!

Why do you think some states are fighting legalization? It cuts into the bottom line of the donors!

Anime...Ascendance of a Bookworm.

Got hooked on the first 2 seasons, and now am on book 23 and eagerly awaiting the next one!

I'm 100% OK with that.

None of them can pass a drug test anyway.

^ This. The answer is ALWAYS JB Weld. Or duct tape.

There is absolutely NOTHING "conservative" about News Corp. They are right-wing extremists.

Sure I do.
