Man, this is Lemmy in a nutshell. Someone offers a well thought-out and well-written view to give some perspective on the other side of a popular Lemmy opinion, and the first response is just straight up ignoring the opportunity to have a real conversation and attacking the commenter as a person.
This place fucking sucks.
I finally made a TikTok recently. On desktop, I couldn't follow anybody, and after a week I couldn't upload videos. Downloaded the mobile app, and my phone battery started losing 40-50% more battery per day, despite less than 5 minutes of usage per day in the tiktok app (uninstalled tiktok and all of a sudden my battery issues are gone).
Some time in the last week, I was suspended for having my twitch name visible in a tiktok. Or at least I assume so, since they never actually told me why I was suspended, or even that I was until I tried to login to upload a video.
What I'm getting at is, fuck tiktok.
I disagree with your last sentence. Not saying air fryers aren't amazing for wings, but you definitely can get juicy, uber-crunchy wings out of a conventional oven with a little bit of prep. A dry brine and a little baking soda will make some insanely juicy wings with a glassy skin in the oven. I prefer to fry mine personally, but that isn't always convenient.
Lol, you really channeled Dave Barry for that last paragraph.
Man, it's worse than that. The CEO left in September 2019 with a multimillion dollar exit package, and went on to become a chairman of GM. The guy below him who mobilized the security team left to be the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Silicon Valley. I did a deep dive video on this today, but I dont want to spam the link. It's in my profile in a recent comment if you're interested.
I actually just made a video about this story today. It's crazy how far ebay went with this.
It's also one of the best ways to advertise as a small content creator. The internet hates self-promotion with a passion, but short form videos? People love that shit.
