Good riddance. Just a bunch of CIA psyops anyway.
It's true. Research Project Mockingbird. It's still happening, and Colbert is one of them.

This is very sad.
It's not sad, it's using modern tools to learn. People that don't embrace the future get left behind.

This is just a dumb article. Comparing Apple to AOL is insane.

My opinion is that TikTok is vengeance for the Opium Wars and the Century of Humiliation.
Internally, China protects its kids:

I can't compare levels of evil, however. I don't think anyone, in good faith, can, since it depends on your value system.
100% agree. They know exactly what they are doing. They are playing a long game of subtle cultural warfare.

An obvious manipulation tactic on the path to abolish cash. "Think of the children!"
A better alternative, remove small coins. They serve no purpose nowadays, inflation made them obsolete. They are even more expensive to make then their inherent worth.
The only purpose left for using small coins is for psychological manipulation, by pricing items at 0,99 instead of 1,00. This has been proven a successful tactic for supermarkets and vendors, to the detriment of buyers, who are manipulated into thinking something is "cheaper", because the price is reduced by 1% or less.
A few European countries, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy already use the practice of rounding to 5 with no issues whatsoever, thereby basically removing smaller coins.
"An obvious manipulation tactic on the path to abolish cash."
This was the first thing I thought.
