Hi Hive, Well, well, well. Here we are, my friends. It’s January 2025, and TikTok is back in the hot seat — but this time, the flames are roaring. The question on everyone’s lips: “Is TikTok really getting banned on January 19th?” The short answer? Yes... maybe? Let’s break it down. The Drama Unfolds… Again If you’ve been around for a while, you know TikTok has been dodging bans since 2020. Remember when Trump tried to give the app the boot?

Look, we’ve all seen the drama — orders getting dropped off at the wrong house, food mysteriously vanishing, or people claiming they never got their meal (while wiping ketchup off their face). I guess DoorDash got tired of it and decided to add a little security. And honestly? I appreciate it! Now, don’t get me wrong — I loved the “drop it and go” option as much as the next person. There’s something nice about not having to open the door and engage in small talk. But let’s be real, getting your food safely is more important than avoiding a quick “thank you.” Plus, this n...
