You get to the next video by swiping down with your fingers like this: You can literally do this forever. The stream of videos you can watch is unlimited, so if you don’t watching by yourself, TikTok can entertain you forever. Another thing that makes the app so addictive is the length of the videos. TikTok videos aren’t usually longer than 30 seconds, making them really easy to consume at all times. Hope this explains your question :)

Originally Answered: What exactly makes the app TikTok so addictive? There are a few factors that make TikTok particularly addictive: Unpredicability/variety - every time you flick up to see a new video, you have no idea what it’s going to be. Brevity - the clips are very brief, and you can blow through hundreds in a quick session, only spending time on the ones that entertain/interest you. Ease - there’s nothing simpler than flicking up with your thumb. It becomes like sitting at a slot machine, hoping it’s going to “hit” something great.

Virginia's high concentration of military personnel along with northern Virginia's high tech industry have has a huge impact on this inward migration. This population mobility again exposes people to greater diversity and help them develop greater empathy for those who are different. This greater understanding and empathy often translates into more progressive political views - especially on social issues. If you have black neighbors, gay friends, and transgendered co-workers, you are less likely to believe stereotypes that conservative politicians use to manipulate public opinion. Unfortunately, the rural western parts of the state have become less mobile and more isolated over the past two decades as manufacturing jobs have shifted overseas. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Virginia-becoming-so-liberal |

Women and minorities have more say and sway over politics, business, and life in general than they once did, and that has further limited both the appeal and power of conservatives. Mind you, I wouldn’t personally call Virginia liberal, and the voting record is more purple or mixed, but you are correct in that it is less conservative than it once was. Can’t say I mourn that, but it is a free country and everyone is entitled to their own preferences and opinions. Ernest W. Adams

Urbanization. Washington D.C. is constrained to be 10 miles square, so a heck of a lot of the government buildings and the homes of the people who work there are in the adjacent states, one of which is Virginia. The government attracts people not just from all over the USA but from all over the world. That provides variety, and wherever you have a wide variety of kinds of human beings, liberalism flourishes and conservatism retreats into the countryside. Get used to it; the same thing happened to ancient Rome. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-Virginia-becoming-so-liberal |

There are several reasons why there has been a shift to the left. Virginia shares a border with Maryland, a strong liberal state and the natural flow of people and ideas was inevitable. Virginia also has a long history of seaport trade as well as institutions of higher education. Industry generally seeks stability, an educated population, central location and inclusive demographics. All these factors encourage a more liberal bent than conservative. Virginia has much to offer both individuals and industry and this transformation/evolution was inevitable. 2.1K views

I would call Virginia more of a swing state than an outright liberal state. When Democrats have won the state it has been by thin margins, not by a landslide. Virginia like most states has conservative rural areas, liberal urban areas, and suburbs that can go either way. Northern Virginia has been growing in population and most people that have recently moved are more liberal. Virginia has a good chance of voting for a Democrat in 2016, but much of that is a national trend. As a highly educated state, Virginia is not going to be against conservative candidates, Virginians are just going to be

When the 11 members of Wanna One won (hey, it rhymes!) Produce 101, it came with a 1.5-year contract. They debuted on Aug 2017 and the contract’ll end on Dec 2018. Wanna One is disbanding because it’s just a temporary group. As much as Wannables want the group to stick together, we also respect the contract stating they’d have to go back to their agencies in 2019. There are members who are reportedly going back to their groups. Regarding the members that don’t have a specific path to take, well, I’m hoping they could just form a unit and continue.

Content: Something else which helps the plants to photosynthesise on Earth is the length of time the planet takes to spin once on its axis. Taking just under 24 hours means that each side of the planet receives sunlight regularly. If we look at a planet like Venus, which takes 243 days to spin on its axis, it means that for a large period of time certain parts of the planet are in complete darkness. So even if the planet could support life, it would struggle to do so. Frank McCown

Today, I would argue, there are four main justifications: Free speech allows the truth to surface and prevail. A free society is more dynamic than a closed one, making it a breeding ground for new ideas, inventions, ways of doing business and of governance. Free speech is itself a social good because those who are free are more fully developed as human beings.

It is okay to place content-neutral limitations on the when, where, and how people may express themselves if done for a good reason, narrowly tailored to achieve that goal, and permitting alternate channels of expression.

All such episodes are valuable for society - because they initiate the public discussion over the topics that are either so internalized, that they are out of conscious evaluation, or so taboo that they are kept out of open discussion. For example, the movie Water was about the plight of a Hindu widow. This controversy did not only initiated debate about tolerance or sensitivity, but also about the Hindu Laws, their comparison with Muslim laws, and the need for reform in such laws.

What are the effects of culture hegemony? Culture hegemony is un outdated concept. It was first developed in relation to the global hegemony of the USA, together with such concepts, as "Americanization", "Coca-Colonization" and "Mcdonaldization". It is believed that the USA imposes a consumer culture of a global type, which supresses and threatens the local cultural traditions. This belief also provokes strong reactions against some USA products, especially in the Middle East and some Muslim communities around the world. Hamburgers, jeans and Coca Cola are considered by-products of the American political hegemony, triggering unification and universalization of cultures. In reality, this is one of the biggest myths of our century. Statistically in the world there are more Chinese and Italian restaurants than McDonald's restaurants. The Italian, Chinese and Indian cuisine is not less popular than the American one. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-hegemony-bad |

Content: Thus the ideal situation for a ruler is to be both feared and loved. The reason for this is simple: humans will support someone they love most of the time, but that love is limited as a motivation: other loves, and dangers, can cause the subjects to no longer support the ruler. A ruler that is loved is loved only as long as that love can lead to gain for the subjects: once their power weakens, their subjects quickly forget their love. In contrast, if the subjects fear the ruler, that fear will act as a stronger guarantee of support: a ruler that is feared will be supported out of fear of what lack of support will lead to. A good example of this is Machiavelli's thoughts of Savonarolla: Girolamo Savonarola. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-better-to-be-feared-than-loved-according-to-Machiavelli |

A good example of this is Machiavelli's thoughts of Savonarolla: Girolamo Savonarola. In short, Savonarolla was a friar who achieved great popularity in Florence, and was greatly loved by many while he was in power. Yet as soon as his power weakened, his followers abandoned him. In the words of Niccolo: If Moses, Cyrus, Theseus, and Romulus had been unarmed they could not have enforced their constitutions for long — as happened in our time to Fra Girolamo Savonarola, who was ruined with his new order of things immediately the multitude believed in him no longer, and he had no means of keeping steadfast those who believed or of making the unbelievers to believe. A strong ruler, therefore, will not make himself unarmed and trust in the good nature and love of his subjects, but will take action to insure that they also fear betraying him. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-better-to-be-feared-than-loved-according-to-Machiavelli |

In The Prince, Machiavelli answered this himself
Men love at their convenience but they fear at the convenience of the prince. Machiavelli viewed humans as “ungrateful, fickle, false.” As such, they are ready to abandon the prince as soon as their interests are attacked.

On the contrary, fear will prevent man from acting against their own interest. It is far easier to keep them in line with the prince’s wishes when the threat of punishment is laid bare. Since people value their lives and properties, as long as the prince doesn’t impinge on those BUT makes it clear that he at any moment could, they will capitulate. Sponsored by Jaw Tone Pro

There are two reasons it is difficult for a bill to become a law: one is structural, the other is political. Structurally, in the United States, a bill must be passed by a majority of both houses of Congress. In addition, for many bills, the U.S. Senate allows unlimited debate unless at least 60 Senators agree to end debate, so as a practical matter, for many bills, the bill cannot advance to a final vote without the support of at least three-fifths of the Senators. After passing both Houses of Congress, the bill must still be approved by the President before becoming law. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-it-so-difficult-for-a-bill-to-become-law |

In reality, without differentiation you have no acceptance of risk and no innovation. In the end there is not enough profit to create invention and so you have stagnation.

However most people in the general public don’t read scientific journals. Instead, that research is often filtered through teachers, therapists, self-help writers and other practitioners. Sciences such as chemistry and physics have theories build on one another as new facts emerge from studies prompted by the reigning theories. In psychology, theories compete with one another for acceptance, with none of them adequately satisfying either practitioners or scholars in the field. The reason for this jumbled interpretation is due to the fact that human minds cannot be accurately predicted.

So, how do we know about something instead of supposing (believing without evidence)? Gather information or data and then analyze it for patterns and characteristics, dutifully putting aside fanciful explanations in favor of what is known. Faith can be any damn thing people want to think up to explain what happens in life going from talking bushes, virgin birth and ghosts to astral planes and gnomes. Psychology is a social science because it is study of what is experienced, by using methods of documentation and analysis of people that are the same as are used in studying other phenomena in the world. Science is as much about process as it is about results. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-psychology-under-social-science |

Content: Countries like the United States have sophisticated systems of scientific research funding, primarily funneled through the Pentagon system in the name of national defense. These discoveries are then used by the defense contractors to develop new technologies that eventually end up in consumer products for people. The technological advances translate into higher productivity and comfort for people which is one way we measure wealth. So wealth creation often has its genesis in scientific research. Mark Dunn

Why is the Department of Justice under the Executive rather than the Judicial branch of government?
Content: The DOJ for its first ninety years was not under the executive but under Congress and advised Congress and at times, the President. At that time, Congress people were primarily not lawyers. It is only recently that more lawyers than ever belong to Congress, and when lawyers write laws they make a terrible mess of it, probably so other lawyers can get their clients off the hook by interpreting vague and poorly written laws in their client’s favor. What concerns me is that the Republicons are scraping the bottom of the barrel from where their candidates are emerging, types with lall kinds of unsavory backgrounds -
With the office of the president using the Attorney General to go after his political rivals, it is time the Judiciary Act be rescinded and the DOJ be placed back under the direction of Congress, under the aegis of the Rules and Financing Committee, but with its offices in the White House to keep an eye on that branch until a Constitutional Convention can be convened or two thirds of the House and Senate can abolish the Executive Branch or move the imperial presidency back into the Congress like the first eight presidents before George Washington.

In 2010 the Congress mandated that NASA build a rocket using the then 40 years old technology of the Space Shuttle, an open goal to place larger payloads in orbit than were being done at the time, and a concealed political goal to employ as many people in Northern Alabama and Florida as the Space Shuttle had done. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-Industrial-Revolution-considered-a-turning-point-in-world-history |

Okay imagine if the Mongols never invaded Europe or the middle East. Europeans would still be using swords up until the 1800s. Instead of being known for impacting and changing the world, all Western scholars want to bring up is the exaggerated massacre and the Black plague done by the Mongol to discredited the great Mongol Empire, It should be known the East brought technology and Inventions too the savages in the Westerner world.

Content: News is inherently biased by virtue of inherent necessities of news reporting. Not everything is ‘worthy’ of being reported, and who decides on that? The people who run the news, but also their audience through their engagement choose what content is chosen. How many of you care about Tommy getting stuck in a well? How many you actually care about this random person named Tommy? Well did it catch your attention for 10 seconds? It did? Well, they need filler like that for 24 hour news cycles…
If you refer to my list of the types of bias, you’ll see that some bias is inevitable. However, certain types of bias are worse than others. This leads to our next section. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-media-so-biased |

Content: are renowned for their journalism. One of the primary reasons people complain about news is the fact that they lack good source evaluation skills. They don’t do their due diligence as a consumer of information. It's important to separate the news from the chaff when you're a reader/media consumer. All those media sources I've listed above have quality content and are the finest news sources in the world, but people confuse the opinion content with news content even though all of these sources do a good job labeling their content. As an example, if you see the term "Op-Ed" than it is an opinion piece. Learning how to understand what the news part is and what is the chaff is critical. How Can I Improve My Source Evaluation Skills? The first few obvious ways: Understand Labeling

Make sure to use those steps daily. Just one or two things like being cognizant of what you’re reading, how it may potentially impact your own biases, and looking between quality sources of information can go a long way. This answer was brief. If you want a longer version on source evaluation, there are plenty of articles on source evaluation online, some better than others. For one with far more quality than I have the effort to make, check out this answer by Peter Kruger: In this age of “fake news” and “alternative facts,” how do we know that the so-called fact-checking sources are accurate and honest arbiters of what is true and what is false? | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-media-so-biased |

Content: News companies these days are just way too opinionated. You can’t just get a news program that gives you information only. No, they have to splice in their own feelings as well. For each story, they give you maybe five minutes of information, and then fifteen minutes of commentary about how terrible/great said story is. The better shows may not give you so much bullshit commentary, but rather, through a mix of crafty wording while reporting and filtered views on said story, only present you the side of the story which they want you to see. So why does the news media have do this? Well, some have honestly just forgotten their place. They believe that they must not be neutral, but must stand up and fight for (WHAT THEY BELIEVE) is right. And their way of “standing up” is barraging us for 30 minutes with their propaganda program. Those are the ones I hate most. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-media-so-biased |

Many in this thread have made the case that the news is biased because humans are inherently biased, which is true. But I don’t think we should accept this reasoning or give up the expectation of achieving unbiased news. The purpose of reporting the news is to educate the public about what is happening in the world around them. If this is your goal, as it should be for news agencies, then it is possible to lay aside personal biases and report in an informative manner that covers all sides and angles of a story. There’s an entire writing style dedicated to this called informative writing. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-news-so-biased |

The more inflammatory pieces attract more attention, so that influences editors to push only “exciting” stories that tug at people’s emotions. We can move away from this model as a conscientious public and search for only evidence-based news.

Because People who look for the news, I mean the makers of the news you see, are biased. In this day in age, there is no such thing as an “unbiased person” People may say that they are unbiased, but in truth, with the modern day politics, things are pretty black and white
So what we have for news sources that say they are unbiased, is little things biases. Like looking for the information from a preferred source
Tone of voice
Phrasing of questions, the microaggressions that people hold towards others
It’s nearly impossible to find a news source that doesn’t have some bias. | https://www.quora.com/Why-is-the-news-so-biased |
