I don’t even want y’all to dunk on this, I just want to share this because it’s so funny. no dunking if you can resist 
If you don’t know what this website is btw, if HackerNews is Reddit for tech bros, then TeamBlind is 4chan for tech bros. Unfortunately very useful for career related information and specific company/tech industry information since everybody there is obsessed with climbing the job ladder
nerd immediately btfo by top reply:
The British Prime Minister Churchill killed at least 3x more people than Hitler, the British government killed more than 150 million people in India.
They’re objectively worse, and yet you name your Halls, libraries, and children after him. 🧐
Hitler was rather inefficient, he routed people to the camps. The British were so efficient, they turned entire Indian states into their camp.
Hitler literally mad that the English achieved lebensraum first.
China also restricted Han births while leaving Uyghur births alone. What kind of genocide is this?
the black book of communism authors must be mad af now that they’re realizing that libs would have believed even a billion deaths without hesitation
99 Marxillion people died under tankieism.
The apocryphal story about when Bush was told 2 Brazilian people were killed in 9/11
And he sits down in shock and asks how many a brazilian is
Eleventy-bajillion people killed and you question our methodology with mockery?
“One death is a tragedy. One million, a statistic.”

At this point I think people might buy that communism killed them personally
I’m guessing the atrocities of the CCP haven’t been as well covered in media so many people are unaware.
My dude, have you seen media?
Admins are censoring this post, let’s get it to the front page 'pedes!
We were so busy watching the Chinese Balloon, we didn’t even notice that everyone in Xinjiang was executed, resurrected, and then executed a second time.
Juche necromancy does it again!
God damn why do people who are repeating talking points from mainstream news think that they’ve stumbled onto hidden knowledge nobody else has heard before?
Don’t you know CNN stands for China National News, MSNBC standards for Marxist Stalinist News for Business Communists, and WSJ standards for Warriors of Social Justice? The west’s media is owned by the CCP. You can’t trust them.
Conservatives literally believe this
soft holocaust denial
Please point me to an 80M people genocide performed by the American government, I’ll wait.
Never thought I’d see the day people thought The Black Book was lowballing its numbers.
USians need a law against denial of indigenous genocide. Every death since Europeans colonised native land has been part of it. It continues to this day. Or against trans people. Or immigrants at the southern border locked up in cages, separated from family, being forcibly sterilized. This smug asshole doesn’t care about people dying other than to drum up reason to enrich the military-industrial complex by going to war with sovereign nations they don’t like.
Would you work for Hitler?
We do this experiment every day and the answer is overwhelmingly “Yes, as long as the pay is competitive and the benefits are decent”.
there is no such thing as a private Chinese company
Make up your fucking minds, would you? Has Communism Ever Been Tried or hasn’t it?
We do this experiment every day and the answer is overwhelmingly “Yes, as long as the pay is competitive and the benefits are decent”.
That’s a weirdly high bar. I usually see it as “is he hiring?”
I’m torn between uninstalling Tiktok for being a standard attention-span-killing novelty app, and keeping it installed because the app’s existence pisses off the western techbro crowd.
I’m actually not allowed to have it installed on my phone if I’m staffed on a public sector project 🙄
Not even a personal phone not used for work?
You can have it installed on your personal phone if you don’t access any work stuff on your phone.
I really need to have teams and email on my phone so I can chill in bed when I have nothing to do though.
My biggest problem with TikTok is that the channels I actually like don’t produce a ton of content while the annoying cheapo content mill shit is an endless deluge I have to wade through in order to get what I’m here for.
Like all social media, over a long enough timeline its just “Oops! All ads!”
What about the following page? It’s the only part of tiktok that I use.
for being a standard attention-span-killing novelty app
I deleted it after a week of using it because I kinda realized it was much worse than any other attention span killing novelty app. With YouTube I close out after catching up with my subscriptions, with this site I stop browsing after I’ve read what’s on the first page - but TikTok would get me staring at it for hours and losing track of time, and I just don’t want something like that in my life.
It’s so good at what it does lol
I keep it because there’s times I want to be not aware of existence and for time to pass quickly when sleeping/drugs aren’t an option. Bam, three hours gone
Wish I could get into books as easily.
It is because you have access to tiktok and similar things it’s so hard to get into books. I’m no better, but the instant and certain fun of a short video just beats out the long, potentially low fun you get from a book.
definitely doesn’t help but my adhd was a thing long before tiktok came into existence
going a month without a smartphone still could be a good experiment
this might not work for you, but i’ve made myself read by turning my phone off and sitting with the book for 15 minutes or half an hour. Even if I get distracted, I’ll have to get into it at some point, and then hopefully it keeps me engaged for a while. after the initial barrier is down, it’s usually not hard to keep reading.
I’ve done that before as a result of “can’t afford to fix/replace phone”.
Don’t have the willpower to do it by choice, but I can only describe it as “touching in with the foundation of what’s real”.
longer description
Like, more aware/observant due to not having a world of tailored escape from what immediately surrounds.
Example: Standing in line at a food place with a phone? Pulling out the phone and choosing whatever content one desires. Or being more likely to notice the sound of other breeze swaying a tree as you walk home if you can’t have the sounds you prefer summoned by the phone.
Without a smartphone it’s either entertain yourself with your imagination/finding a train of thought to follow to the end/ observation of the moment. I think my people skills improved a small amount as a result of all the people watching I’d do.
If you can pull it off without needing to, I recommend it even for a week just as an experience. It’s like living pre-smart phone life again, both the pros and cons.
Something that helps is cargo shorts/pants. Those can fit a paperback easily if becoming more accustomed to replacing screen time with book time is a desired outcome.
Yeah this reasoning is bad. I find books to be as or more addictive than phones if I find the right book. Like it’s actually unhealthy. At least on TikTok I have learned a surprisingly large amount. If I get stuck reading a good book it’s normally some kind of fiction. I swear I’ve read whole books in under 48 hours before.
if I find the right book
The fact you needed to specify means just books in general won’t cut it.
At least on TikTok I have learned a surprisingly large amount
get out of the misinformation vortex
If I get stuck reading a good book it’s normally some kind of fiction
not a problem, they said they wanted to read more, not read more non-fiction. You also can learn new ideas, ways of looking at the world, or even actual facts from works of fiction. Just make sure to double check them at some point.
I swear I’ve read whole books in under 48 hours before.
good for you I guess. like, you personally don’t have the problem, but ask most people that want to read more and have the time and they’re being distracted by theri phoen or something like that. If we’re just flexing, I read a book in six hours once.
I wasn’t flexing at all. I was merely trying to point out that books can also be addictive. There is this weird idea that social media is somehow more addictive than other activities people do. I am trying to highlight that this is not always the case.
get out of the misinformation vortex
There is loads of misinformation in books too. There are also tiktoks made by actual scientists and experts just like there are books made by them. There is some serious bias here.
The way information is presented is more important than the information itself. When you read a book, you can slowly consider the idea, you are actively and consciously taking it in. Tik Toks are the most passive form of consumption, with what you will see predominantly controlled by an algorithm you don’t get to see. Things are suddenly and often bombastically thrust into your face, and explanations are condensed into mere seconds. People don’t often question tik toks information as they should.
Anyway, your experience is not relevant to people that have a hard time reading, I don[t see why you piped up. Social media is definitely more addictive because people interact with it in the way of gamblers and alcoholics on a massive scale.
People tend to treat books as an authoritative source. Few people would treat TikTok as an authoritative source. In this way books can be more manipulative a form of misinformation.
I would argue it could be a means of democratizing information for people who don’t have strong reading ability or don’t have a long enough attention span.
I have seen people become obsessed with researching things much like people becoming obsessed with social media. I have even had this happen to me. Any novel source of information or stimuli can become addictive. To compare this to something physically addictive like alcohol is ludicrous though. You can’t get withdrawal symptoms like seizures from not watching TikTok.
I’ve decided not to uninstall it cause I worry getting it again will be made difficult by my government overlords. I just don’t use it most days.
Keep it installed, but get another app that can limit your daily time with it?
4chan for techbros
would you work for hitler???
Obviously, they already work for Raytheon ffs
Pretty sure most if not all the guys in my high school class who took the hard math/science classes with easy English/social studies classes are now making six-figure salaries building bombs for weapons’ manufacturers.
Hey now, a bunch of us are doing accounting software for earth-immolating energy companies.

Testicular Circumference?
Yes.
My mom used to have a boss whose last name was Hittler (two "t"s). Got a lot of joke mileage out of it when I was a kid.
you live in Argentina, by chance?
Spoken like a gringo who lives in a country that actually hosted former nazis and put them in positions of power.
yeah, probably. I dunno how many were shipped to australia to be absorbed into our government, but yes i am a kkkracker from a genocidal anglo state.
apologies for finding the name “Hittler” amusing
If you work for meta you’re supporting a genocide regime (unironically)
