      Need to defeat repost protection? Horizontal flip won’t work because of pesky people not wanting to read mirrored text? Slap a lil 2.5° rotation on that baby! See also: random markup line added that looks like hair/dust.

      Yeah, no, it definitely is. I’ve professionally zoomed in on my phone and then dragged the image to the screen edge. The bottom end of her user-tag is particularly obvious.

      Yeah, one of our students pulled the “I watched a documentary” line and it just completely threw us when she admitted that it was actually just 4 TikTok posts. I mean, it was enough superficial knowledge to fill a conversation, but we all expected a TV documentation from the olden days.

    Remember kids, if you can’t cite your sources in APA format, you got it from TikTok and nobody believes you.

      YouTube will at least have some really long form well written content (1-4+ hour long videos). Tik tok is mostly 30 second videos, and their idea of long form is 30 minutes assuming they even go that far.

      That wouldn’t surprise me at all given the fact that they had to tailor his security briefings with a mention of himself every 30 seconds to keep his attention. He’s exactly the TikTok demographic, and “loves” Kim, and was certainly more than friendly with Xi.

      I also wouldn’t be surprised if Xi Jinpooh himself was the one that told Trump about TikTok. Especially since it was released in September of 2016.

    As a teen—I don’t use tik Tok, nor does anyone I know. It’s easy to believe everyone uses something, when people are saying that everyone uses something. Compare active users of tiktok in the US to the entire US population, for example. About 1/3 of the population. Sure, that’s a lot, but it’s not even a majority. The way people talk about it, you’d think it was an overwhelming majority.

      As I approach 40, I’ve decided to give my ADHD a break and never use Tiktok. I’d say about 60% or so of my peers are on it. Supposedly, even though its seen as a younger person thing, the demographics of Tiktok lean heavily towards millenials.
