@AnkitSharma might be for the best as more countries think of banning TikTok

yeah

Tiktok stopped for hongkong lol

other make sense but tiktok

6:49 AM

the issue is more than ByteDance is a Chinese Company and Chinese Companies by Chinese Law have to comply with the Chiense Government ~~demands~~ requests for data. they can have an announcement that they don't operate in China but ByteDance in Beijing, there's no getting around that

also there's when earlier in the year it was found that TikTok mods were censuring anything critical of the chinese government. why do that if you don't operate in china?

(refering to their statement when the US was looking to ban them)

> “We are not influenced by any foreign government, including the Chinese government; TikTok does not operate in China, nor do we have any intention of doing so in the future

@Memor-X I noticed that too, a comedian girl who made fun of celebs, govt, opposition etc and all video stayed but when she made joke on china TikTok deleted it in India

@Memor-X or is it a coverup? Or we don't need to spy on people who are already under our control?

7:07 AM

@AnkitSharma naaa, it sounds more like a PR Statement to appease spooked shareholders/investors

meh

Tearing Down ANOTHER House of Lies - The Valure Scam

to be honest, wont be sad if TikTok dies only because it's being used for eSports Scams

I liked titkok but I hadissues with it

It was mix bag

In S03E08 of Dark, it is revealed that: Now, Helga Doppler used to be the father of Peter Doppler who is turn the son of Bernt Doppler and Greta Doppler. So, that makes: Am I right? Now, there can be a slight discrepancy: Am I right?

@KnightadmiresChappo Then open up a chat with a mod if you can, or mention that, and ask that the mod look at chat transcript and/or other messages of the user as well

@Arjun Please use English to chat to not to confuse other non-Hindi users

@Arjun Anyone is free to assert whoever they are, as long as it's not for fraudulent purposes. I'm Tom the cat.

Hey @Thom, long time no chat!

@Arjun Please follow the code of conduct and be respectful to your fellow users. Violation of CoC will not be tolerated.

Whatever feud you two have, please take it somewhere else (preferably nowhere, though). In any case, as AJ said, please try to not resort to name-calling or abusive language, no matter if Hindi or English. Translation barriers don't make offensive language less offensive.

And if you don't want other people to get involved in something, then don't, well, involve them.

If someone is abusive in chat, it's best to flag it and recede. Neither responding in kind nor dragging other people or other chatrooms into it is a good idea.

Pin? Maybe not needed though

For what? I'd rather we don't publicize it more than necessary. It's not like any of this is totally surprising news.

Sure

Movie of the day: The Triplets of Belleville

Apparently a very wacky film

Still haven't watched it, I watched Coco yesterday

3:48 PM

I haven't seen either.

I still have two BluRays lying around that I need to watch soon, but didn't find the time yet.

@NapoleonWilson Coco was good

Maybe I'm saying that because I hadn't seen a Pixar thing in a long time and I was of the "Disney is a shadow of what it was" mindset

And it's about music, not really a musical

Oh, that thing with the Day of the Dead.

I thought you mean't some Coco Chanel biopic or whatever. ;-)

Somehow Coco went by without much publicity, compared to other Pixar stuff.

Mithical

That's unfortunate, because it's a good movie.

@NapoleonWilson But still the first thing I think of is the subtly threatening crawl of the Salamanca brothers

@NapoleonWilson Ha

Did you just switch from Coco to Breaking Bad?

3:57 PM

@NapoleonWilson Like Inside Out, it conjures up a world with almost plausible rules that immediately spawns many questions. They answer a few by showcasing some of the rules. The rest is a good family story about family values

I really liked Inside Out, but I'm not da biggest animation person. Maybe I'll catch it on TV some day.

@NapoleonWilson Hey, Breaking Bad has consumed me and turned me into its vessel

I would make BrBa references all the time, every time.

4:19 PM

When thinking about it, I might actually not, now that there's never going to be anything from Disney available anywhere to watch.

5:01 PM

Who's Arjun who's being tagged above ?

I see no box, or avatar that says Arjun.. Only Knight and Ankit are there

Are avatars removed too ? @AJ

A J

@ankii No.

5:21 PM

@AJ quite succinct .. alright. No problem

5:39 PM

Ooops what happened

Sorry If I did anything wrong

Okay, let me explain it to you in detail...

The following now deleted messages were posted:

Flags I guess

I hope all fine now

I didn't wantedextra work for anyone, sorry if I was cause

@ankii If you move the message somewhere, and a mod deletes the audit message, you won't know that person were there in the first place. As is kinda the intention here.

@AnkitSharma You weren't

Nap just nuked everything in sight, even my absolutely hilarious messages and my application form for RO

From experience I went by the general assumption that most things you say aren't intended serious and in a situation that requires seriosity should probably go for good, too. ;-)

@NapoleonWilson @M.A.R. ah I forgot the Awkward silence ritual to move messages to trash

or any other form of erasing.

5:49 PM

@NapoleonWilson Relocates tie on the neck, switches to British mode I beg your paaadon!

@ankii Well, I guess the bottom line is what's been trashed had popcorny enjoyable drama potential, but it was nothing you missed

Puts the now-deleted lottery winner numbers in his pocket

Has anyone seen Dark on Netflix ?

why don't we have show of the days ?

or multiple days if one watches them over a long time ;)

@ankii Until I get better at Deutsch, nope

Q: Why is "The Devil's Backbone" called that?

I have recently seen The Devil's Backbone by Guillermo Del Toro. I didn't quite understand why he chose the name of this film to be The Devil's Backbone. Can someone explain it to me?

title the-devils-backbone

@M.A.R. reply to the wrong message but okay

@ankii What do you mean?

@MovieReel Huh, apparently a good movie

5:54 PM

@M.A.R. something analogous to movie of the day

@ankii I dunno, as @AJ has beautifully demonstrated with his puns, any "of the day" goes.

Q: How old is Frosty the snowman?

6:42 PM

I assume from the 1969 movie that Santa Claus made the hat that brings Frosty to life. If so, does this make Frosty as old as the hat itself?

I miss @steeler

I miss old days
