Not saying it was a good thing the sale was forced, but if I’m China and I’m trying to undermine my enemies, giving them the recipe to the social media equivalent of turbo crack and let them get high on their own supply isn’t the worst strategic move I could make

To be fair, I think even China knows how dangerous TikTok can be, hence why they have their own version that *actually* has protections for its users

Vince never threatened me with eternal damnation for not buying a Shamwow

I mean, he might have, but it was ironic

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

I half expect the cashier to ask me if I want to enter my PIN number “like a big boy” or just sign for the purchase in crayon

I hate when I’m trying to pay for something by tapping my card, but then I realize I don’t know where, specifically, on the pin pad the scanner is (or where the card should be held)

It looks like I’m just standing there rubbing my card all over the pin pad because I’m too stupid to pay

Not throwing shade at the overall idea of religion, but it’s always put me off when some folks push theirs as hard as they do

There never seems to be aggressive sales campaigns for the products that are obviously and inherently good, you know?
