Some opinions here are super ignorant. Yes Tiktok has lots of silly videos but it also is a way for many talented people to reach their audience. Many small business owners and indie artists depend on it to make a living.

I initially agreed with the author but at a second thought, I found the author made a big mistake of not distinguishing different types of quality.

The article talked about mostly entertainment or art related quality. However when it comes to utility related quality, it is a totally different story. It is obvious. I even don't need to expand on that.

This cool but comfyui has been doing this for years.

Why is it impossible for Talyor Swift to ask that question herself? Because she is a blonde singer?

It is very common for someone top of one's trade to command respectable knowledge and skill in another trade.

Einstein was a decent violin player. It wouldn't be a surprise if he asked some deep questions in musics in certain circumstances.

Talyor Swift has got to the top and sustained at the top of probably the most competitive business, and keeps her wealth growing. She has certainly financial knowledge and discipline. I am pretty sure she is capable of asking that question.

I don't think it was full out from Russia's side. They could still mobilize millions and use nukes. They haven't really bombed Kyiv's critical infrastructures and government buildings, for example president's office.

I think Putin will bet it all on full out war to conquer Ukraine in 2023. I wish I would be wrong.

I think he meant a treaty of quasi independence yet on face a special autonomous region of China for Taiwan.

And your assessment is right. It is unimaginable for any leader of CCP to grant independent state to Taiwan. He would be buried by party members and mainland Chinese.

This sort of treaty still needs to be approved by China's parliament. Though in most cases it is a just formality for parliament to approve any treaties but when it comes to a treaty that grants independence of Taiwan, vast majority of parliament members would object it.

And please be aware that Chinese people do go to street. Recent demonstrations in multiple cities and universities against endless covid lock downs proved it.

Full out invasion by Russia to Ukraine.

Typing this from shanghai now.

It is crazy that CCP is again on the course of self destruction.

Maybe this sort of self destruction is inevitable for every single major power. It is just a matter if one can correct the wrong and change course before it is too late.

USA ditched Trump by election. Putin is doing shit to Russia.

It is happening in China now.

Chinese people can put up with CCP because we have been through too much disasters. A stable and somehow rational one-party rule is NOT so bad as long as stability is maintained and people's private space is respected to an acceptable level.

Shanghai is right now at the edge of breaking this unwritten agreement between CCP and the people. If this goes on for a few more weeks, there will be social unrest.

I am not optimistic about it.
