Poor babies. Anyone would want to buy tickets and rent a hotel room and all that to see him get inaugurated makes me sick. I hope they all lost a shit ton of money.

TikTok is nothing more than a distraction around the mass deportations starting Tuesday

TikTok is the only way we would have seen it in real time, creating momentum for change. People don’t read words anymore. They need to see it for proof. TikTok ban is only to suppress our knowledge. This is the first step of tyranny. There is zero evidence anywhere of TikTok data breach in 10 years. Google that.

everybody wants these mass deportations? fine then, take the statue out of New York harbor & the welcome sign off the door & send it all back to France because we aren't that country anymore, one other point, I can't help but notice that when eastern Europeans from Russia & the like came streaming in here during the mid eighties no one said a peep but, when the immigrants & refugees are Black &/ or Brown it's, " yeah, we've got t o get rid of them all", actions speak louder than words

On TikTok, it stated Bezos is part owner of the company wanting to merge with TikTok? If that is true the app should probably just shut down.

Came all the way from tiktok to find you. This is hard on us Canadians too. Losing our favourite tiktokers is hard.

I have zero pitty for folks that flew out for the inauguration and can’t view it. I feel for the folks in Chicago.

I believe it's possible. I just noticed the subtitles on this video.

grace's avatar

oh wow! i’m searching high and low and don’t see an option to turn them on where i’m viewing on the app.

In the app, when you start the video there's a CC box button. If you press on the box it will enable closed captioning (subtitles). Hope that helps.

grace's avatar

hm, nope. cc button was first thing i looked for and the only options in my video player on the app are video speed, expand video, or cast it to my television. i’m literally 30 not a boomer so i just genuinely don’t have closed captioning available lol
