honestly i think that this spread would be much better if there wasnt the presence of this gd (made by a no name called 'bumpy cone') which just contributes in making it worse than it already is. this gder clearly has no idea what he's doing, his difficulty in fact demonstrates that there's no thought behind each pattern either way. this was expected though as this mapper 'bumpy cone' has no skill in mapping whatsoever.

TikTok’s CEO eluded the spotlight. Now, a looming ban means he can’t avoid it

TikTok says such a move would not “solve the problem”.
