I suspect you're correct for some of them, but given how few women I know actually know that fact as well, it's also likely people are staggeringly lacking in their knowledge about basic biology and reproduction.

I wish I could. I do admit to having an affair with a space heater though. Findley is also starting to appreciate it.

Agreed. It would be great if more people saw that and realized what a slippery slope this is instead of continuing to play the Blue vs Red game. We need to vote out the politicians on both sides that vote against their constituents wishes. They work for us and have forgotten that.

Found you on Tiktok, then found you here.

I'd love to see it too, but doubt they'd ever share it with the citizens of the country.

The politicians speaking out have come out and said there was no evidence of wrongdoing on Bytedance's part, and that the ban was enacted based on fear that they could do something at some later point in time. Maybe. It's telling that they only way it passed was to be shoved into a must pass bundle.

We know Meta has sold our data for years. If it's really about data they need to address the way all the apps handle it, not just one company.

Definitely. But I don't believe data was the driving issue with this ban, and enough sitting politicians are beginning to admit that as well. With all of that, Meta spies on us endlessly. Tiktok never showed me ads for boots after I told Doug mine needed to be replaced. Meta did across three apps.

Political refugees exist. Not every refugee is fleeing that level of violence. I'd say refugee fits much better than your suggested orphan. The current government overreach enacted casts doubts on that lauded freedom, and people are struggling to feed their families, so losing income now is huge.

Except some people just lost their livelihood and primary income source, which definitely jeopardizes their ability to keep access to food and home, which jeopardizes their lives... In that regard, it kinda fits. How about we just don't police language and scroll past things we think are hyperbole?

Tiktok never showed me an add for boot after I told my husband mine were getting to the point where I needed to replace them. Meta bombarded me with boot adds on three apps and the phone was in the other room when I had that talk with the hubs. But Tiktok was the spy. Riiiight.

Happy to have found you here and on Bluesky. Your company's products have been a miracle for my frozen shoulder and I didn't want to lose track of you.
