Woman: "White man bad because privilege"
Interviewer: "How"
Woman: "g2g bye"
Because feelings. Don’t question her, bigot! Just accept yourself as an oppressor and repent for her feelings!
😂😂😂
The high privilege to be perpetually scolded.
I hate that this is my school UT Austin. I didn’t finished my degree there as a psych student. It became too much when my child dev professor told us her son and all children should explore the spectrum of gender representation and showed us her 2 year old in dresses with the feminist side shaved hair cut.
many such cases
First woman wants fanfiction tags in her novels 💀
Yeah, I was gonna say that litterature with... helpful tags... already exists.
like bro just look up a review its not that hard.
Can't they just look up reviews before they read there book
Or just turn the book around and read the text in the back. It usually has a small plot synopsis there.
Totally.
hammock isn’t under enough tension
He’s just fat
That's fucked. 😂
But funny
what is he, CaseOh now?
lol
I've figured it out, guys.
He's trying to give us TikTok Brain to make us forget about the Trucker Video!
What trucker video?
All I see is +2 more days delay now.
@@Drako9823
That's a myth.
I bet he's already released it, it's just unlisted.
@@lapiscenturionHe's promised a video on the Canadian trucker Freedom Convoy that happened over the Lockdown. Dev refuses to break his bigger projects up into smaller pieces. installments.
YEAH @ShortFatOtaku TRUCKER VIDEO WHEN
Edit: had to fix my @
This first women wants the author to list tags like it’s a porn site. LMAO
Yeah...the only thing that you can find is the genres.
If she wants to know that kind of elements...they she should go and see the reviews...with spoilers.
She wants the moon WTF
It's stupid...same as movies advertaising it has "gay themes".
TBF, Archive Of Our Own has a very robust tagging system for what is primarily a site for fanfiction. Then again, that might be why that site is so thorough with tagging. If we're talking about physical media though, it's best to stick with reviews as you've stated.
My brother from another mother! That's exactly what sprung up to my mind, especially with her "romance" novel.
Everything she mentioned is in a good cover blurb ("Now Jessica must choose the man of her dreams or the man who offers the life she's always dreamed of.") or the genre (spice free romance is "sweet romance" while explicit spice is "erotic romance" and both advertise quite clearly...no label expect some but not explicit spice).
So, yes, it is already right on the cover.
@@cassidyszewczyk5029 Yeah but for that you see the tags in the interface...before you open the fanfic.
Not in the fanfiction itself.
That tags she wants can be in the internet page where you Buy them...not in the book itself.
That hammock must be made from high tensile elephant fence wire.
Woah woah, did you watch the recent meat canyon video? No fat shaming the black hole!
Dev is probably Homer Simpson level fat now.
Bridge cables.
The worst thing about garbage bag kid was that the woman who called the mother out and called CPS caught a bunch of backlash for "ratting out her fellow black fulks". Shit was the biggest face palm I've ever seen.
Crab pot mentality
Mmm crabs in barrel
@@Drako9823 I thought it was crabs in a bucket and fish were in the barrel. And apples are in a basket
@@user-ex9ti7ds3mAnd beans are in a can, yes?
@@NitroNinja324 According to the Brits they’re on toast
For some context on the child in the shopping cart. It was in some place freezing outside. Brought her son in with no clothes. The lady popping tags to get him dressed was a stranger who bought some clothes to warm him up. The mom was just going at anyone who called her out for her trash behavior. Oh and that wasn't a trash bag either. She brought him in wearing only a diaper, the first stranger to confront her put their jacket on him trying to get him warm.
man that ‘mother’ deserves the full extent of the law and probably that’s to generous
don't worry, she was arrested in the parking lot later and CPS took the kids. she's out on bail, likely awaiting the court date. @@Blackstone-ke5pv
Hey hey hey, she twerked.. so that's gotta stand for something goddamnit!
@Blackstone-ke5pv yeah, she's cancer. One positive thing this absolute colostomy bag of a human did for me, when she started twerking it made me realize how people get radicalized to do some dumb shit.
@@ericguillot6402explain?
0:38 Those trope tags she's talking about sounds like how fanfiction sites organize their stories. Say you want to look for a story set in Supernatural but don't want to see the brothers paired up, you can exclude "incest" (or maybe there's some sort of code for it, I can't remember) and you will only be shown stories without that tag. There'll only be like 3 of them, but you can do it.
"There will only be like 3 of them" lmao
Yeah she totally wants tags and content warnings, but here's the thing. She could EASILY fix her own issue by looking up a book she's interested in online and search for a review or discussion on it. She just wants to be spoonfed the content like some privileged baby instead of reading a couple of chapters and going "oh, this book isn't really interesting me. I'll drop it and read something else".
She doesn't even have to spend money on a book she ends up hating, she can go to the fucking library and borrow as many books (ebooks as well) as she damn well pleases.
@@KingRyanoles I didn't catch that when I read the comment😅
The woman was a bystander that bought clothes for the kid. it was like 10 degrees out and the mother had the kid out unclothed.
And, of course, her response to the well-deserved outrage was "I'S GONNUH TWURK!"
Ah I have little kids and when it is warm outside it is a struggle to keep them in their clothes (they are still clothed when they are in public no matter how often we have to put them back on) but if it was cold outside that is ridiculous. Good on the second lady getting that boy some clothes so he wasn't freezing
@@michaelmetcalfe639 That was the mother's excuse, basically. "Its too much of a pain in the ass to put clothes on him when he's acting out." It was like 10 degrees in Chicago if I remember right.
@@AmsterdamHeavy I can be sympathetic to the fact little kids like to run around naked but that is part of the job as a parent to make sure they are clothed when they need to be. I don't think her excuse is valid because of the weather conditions.
And the “mother” being fully clothed for Chicago winter while the poor kid is sitting in a buggy shivering/teeth chattering with blue lips while she throws bagged frozen food on him while just being in a diaper. Took an elderly woman in a buggy to go buy him some clothes while the mother just stands there on her phone.
The woman that recorded her and called her out for it was fired from Walmart.
The first woman is aware most books have a blurb on the back which usually tries to sell you on the book by setting the tone and hinting at the nature of the plot. Right? Like, it's a paragraph rather than a list of tags but it's there.
ehhhhhhhhh... for one thing that style of paperback cover often doesn't... and for another thing... these days I've actually had trouble finding recent books that still do a meaningful summary.
@@nicolinrucker5181even if not on the book Amazon et al will have the blurb text.
And authors who don't provide good blurbs don't sell unless established (Lee Child just needs to say "A Reacher novel" but most writers aren't at that level).
Indie authors pay serious money on classes on writing better blurbs.
Honestly, most I find either have no blurb or it's as barebones as you can possibly imagine. Most of the time it's just quotes from reviews or people talking about the author or something and it's insanely frustrating, like those goddamn NetFlix descriptions for movies where it just lists cast members or writers, like, no, I wanna know what it's about first..
On a semi-related note, the term "Don't judge a book by it's cover" annoys me. That was the case back when covers were blank or abstract, but nowadays that's literally what the cover is meant to do. I am absolutely supposed to judge a book by the art the writer or whoever chose to express the face of the story with. First impressions are important.
"paragraphs"?!...but that requires reading more than one or two words at a time.
@@Obergfreighter yeah.... you buy a lot of modern indie book don't you. Seriously, the description even now is still either on the inside cover flap, on the good reads page, it exists. Also, right because buying a book on the shinny cover art which has nothing to do with the writer's skill, often very little with the story is an excellent way to go, for someone who reads oh so much that they lie about difficult of finding out what books are about....
Ps, I read over 130 books a year don't try to bs me on books.
As an actual bibliophile, Booktok is the bane of my fucking existence. What the fuck is the point of reading 70 “different” books written for Shitty tropes and hardcore porn.
It's like calling myself a cinephile but all I watch is porn
@@GenericProtagonist7 nah bro, it's not fine if the hobbyists get drowned out by the slop piggies
A what-o-phile!???
What's the finest book you own?
The thing I hate is UA-cam authors. I started to realize quickly that it wasn't good to watch a lot of them because they all have the same cliches and they all write YA fantasy. When they do recommendations, the books they choose fall along this same line.
When TikTok outlasted Don Lemon’s activism career….
The first girl could just read the back cover blurb or Amazon review for that info. Most of those tropes she mentioned are easy to find between those spoiler free.
Right which is why it doesn't really feel like a big deal to fault her for wanting it. It's pretty incosequential
I wasn't supporting her. I was confused because what she wanted was on the cover. For example, romance without any spicy is a sweet romance and they advertise themselves as such. Love triangles are always or damn close to on the back cover blurb .
She literally wants what is already there.
@@PulpHerb I know you aren't supporting her, but how is this of all things worth pointing at
to give context on the freezing baby and the terrible mother, that happened in a Walmart in Mississippi. The Mother brings the baby into Walmart, on a freezing Rainy day, we're still talking at Winter Season. She decided to dressed up the way she is, but doesn't give the baby much to wear, and decided to go to the freezer section, while the baby is clearly shivering. A walmart employee is mad at what the mother is doing to her son, and several of the customers are pissed off at how the mother responds to any criticism. The customer in a electric wheelchair, bought some clothes and went to the kid to make sure he had something to wear. The mom would eventually get arrested however Walmart decided to fire the lady who recorded this and argued with the Mom.
are we really surprised that walmart agrees with child abuse?
An employee recording tiktoks of *customers* at work? That's a pretty good reason to fire. This woman didn't just intervene, she intervened and put it online.
@@ReturnOfHeresyI see it as recording evidence
@@ReturnOfHeresyI don't see the problem. When your "customer" is abusing their child, that's justified. Fuck Wally World.
@@gabrielhill995True, but that should be given to the police. Not posted online.
"Even though [the Tik Tok ban] will kill this series, I'm glad someone is tackling it"
I'm just gonna point out that Facebook/Instagram Reels and UA-cam Shorts are a thing.
Changes the name to FB Fridays. Episodes don't usually actually get uploaded till Tuesday.
from personal expirence shorts are just annoying.
@@Devin_Stromgren That's just SFO.
No, no, the first girl is right. "Love Triangle" should be a required print on every book with "Love Triangle".
Mostly because it's a garbage trope.
I second this.
The black granny wasn't trying to steal clothes. She was putting clothes on the child so it doesn't freeze to death. She was the hero of the story. Then they called the police on the mother.
She also paid for them, that's important context
Tiktok isn't the biggest problem, but it's the source of so many people thinking guns and 'women controlling their bodies' are the biggest problems.
that's been around long before TikTok. Just because it gave platforms to those people doesn't mean it invented it.
American society wouldn't be 1/10th as divided if social media didn't exist.
@@discipleofdagon8195 If we discovered that a social media program was taking our information and giving it to Russia, would you demand that app to be banned?
@@discipleofdagon8195 It didn't but things move quick in a low attention span format, and with their policies essentially yeeting anything vaguely right off the platform it keeps taking off whatever edge exists and rapidly moves what is and isn't acceptable to the left, by policy and socially among users. It's literally the pipeline they're always yelling about.
@SeruraRenge11 what? Social media didn't exist when the red scare happened yet that had everyone paranoid. Taking away social media and allowing inly the state to communicate affairs to you is a horrible idea.
The information she is looking for is called a blurb. It is on the back of every book.
Must be her first time seeing and holding a physical book.
She's incapable of reading it because it's not layed out like the tags on that one fanfic website i can't recall the name of.
Blurb =/ tags.
@@Timmy-mi2ef It's a good thing I didn't say they were then.
She eants fanfic tags which are basically porn tags and content warnings
6:04 That woman didn't even clothe her baby in a garbage bag. He was buck naked in the winter, with his mum layered up beside him. She took off ONE of her jackets and put it over the kid AFTER people started pulling her up on it, before the camera was rolling. OTHER PEOPLE had to pay for the baby's clothes AND dress the poor kid because the mother was neglectful.
Modern people are so lazy and smug with their knowledge of tropes. They'd rather have the whole story spoiled for them if it doesn't appeal to their ultra specific kink.
wait people read whole freaking books specifically for kinks?
I thought that was just fanfiction...
@@Yipper64arent those books like tailored for this specific type of a woman who shlicks on em all day
Wasn't even her point she wanted tags to avoid certain tropes with love triangle being given as an example. Quite embarrassing
As a writer, The first one wanted to make me throw my own work, HARDCOVER, right at her head.
Dont do that, it will damage a piece of art.
Dev outside? Background is innacurate
Background is inaccurate on its own. Canadians don't have backyards
You haven't watched the garden videos. Are you a true fan? lol.
@@afez2752 Aren't those like, annually?
@@j.k.4479 Not really he does it every few weeks when it is summer. He does live in Canada after all
I've seen video evidence of him in cars on occasion, it is possible he's been outside although he could have gotten in the car while in a garage
Baby Elephant Walk was the name of the song Dev pointed out in the interview, if anyone is curious.
Mancini wrote so many great songs
You know, even if they took that clothing right off the rack, it's better than letting that baby freeze. I'm sure corporate isn't going to jail anyone over that - the social media fallout wouldn't be worth it.
The book girl isn’t necessarily wrong, I’ve been getting increasingly frustrated with how many books aren’t putting a synopsis on the jacket anymore
Cool, you’ve got some accolades behind your writing, what is the book about so I can see if it piques my curiosity or not.
Yeah, it seems only hard covers with sleeves have book summaries in them now to actually tell you about the book (without spoiling, but the good ones tell you if there's any love interest or something). I get tired of going to the book store and having to be on my phone looking up every book that catches my interest because variations of "Its a good book" on the back isn't convincing
You best reinforce that hammock with titanium like Caseoh's house.
I have no problem with the first one. Unless you're a speed reader, reading a novel is a massive investment of time. Life is too short and there are too many things to do to waste 10 to 15 hours on a book that you are not interested in and could easily be avoided if it had tags. I read every day but almost everything i read is hundreds if not thousands of years old. The basic contents are well known even before I start reading. If i read contemporary literature, I would want to know what i was getting into before starting.
It doesn't help that most modern paperbacks seem to have done away with synopsis anymore. Especially if they're from a smaller author
4:03 The amount of soy is downright cringe inducing.
Also there’s no such thing as “free health care”. It’s all paid for one way or another. I live in Romania and they tax our income for health insurance. But when you get to the point where you need it, the services are VERY low quality, they schedule you for procedures weeks or months too late and the doctors, who are paid from public tax money, will send you to their private clinics, where you’ll pay them again, through your nose, for even a basic investigations. Oh and if you are in need of paid sick leave, to mend after an operation or something, they look for every excuse not to give it to you. And even when you get it, you lose all the perks (like food tickets) and you only get a percentage of your base salary, depending on how grave your injury is.
This is one thing that always bothers me with my colleagues and people I see online. They say about countries that have "free [insert here]." But that country also has like 50% tax. I'd rather just keep my money myself and pay for it myself. In societies with free whatever, you don't get to keep as much of your money and you get no say in which product/option you go with.
@@peteyoung3124the best part is when say they are okay with effective wasting their money because it “helps someone else who needs care” and I just facepalm cuz they don’t get it
I live in Kazakhstan with the flee clinics everywhere. I think that the quality is average , but the queues there are unbearable. My mother would always tell me to just go to a private one , and get a better treatment , although not for free ofc
I was going to joke that healthcare was "The only thing a Romanian couldn't steal," but I can see I was completely wrong.
@@UnprofessionalProfessor are you American? Because if you are, I wouldn’t point fingers, given the amount of shoplifting happening there.
Books have a summary.
To be fair, some of those can be misleading. Especially with romance novels. And since stores often have displays outside the standard sections, it's very easy to pick up something summarized as a fantasy war story about soldiers riding mechanical dragons but turns out to be a gay incest fetish story.
@@MrDj232thank you
"Why dont books have tropes on the front?"
GET OFF YOUR PHONE LADY! LIVE LIFE!
I'm more impressed that this actually came out on Tuesday than by the new hammock background.
11:43 It's genuinely really nice to hear that every so often, love you too dev.
3:45
you can watch him go trough the 5 stages of grief in real time
his expressions speak 1000 words
It feels like he was in on the joke since he did a perfect owl "who?", but in that case he still did a good acting job.
7:55 As an overweight guy with terrible facial hair, let me just say... HOLY HELL. Pot calling the kettle black is an understatement with that woman.
Sometimes my straight white man power is truly unfathomable.
The hammock should bend more every episode till it finally snaps 😂
He's losing weight, though, or at least he had been.
The Lebonese refugees I have met had quite a few things in common. They hated Muslims, Hezbollah, people running Lebanon, and the refugees themselves weren't Muslim. It is sad how many people are getting refugee status and then try to promote the groups "oppressing" them.
I can understand the first woman, because I had that problem myself that if I ask someone what a title is about, the answer is the most generic shit you can think of that would fit a million other titles. So there is no incentive for me to try and read an entire book.
I don't necessarily agree with it 100% but I completely agree with the sentiment of being annoyed. Years ago, I was reading "The Storied Life of AJ Fikry" and it was great, but then it took a path I found lame and I sat there thinking, "...I seriously read halfway through this book for this?"
@@peteyoung3124 yeah, that is understandable. Many years ago, I had the same feeling with a show and I never made that mistake again.
@@peteyoung3124I've had that happen before. The book title and everything I could find promises samurai, dragons, and a civil war. Ended up spending half the book reading a live triangle romance.
@@peteyoung3124So you wanted to know everything that happens before you read it? Then why bother even reading? I really don’t know what people are expecting out of unknown or relatively new authors and why everyone is so risk averse. You got enjoyment for a few hours out of a book that cost you about $10 and learned you don’t like that author. Welcome to reading I guess.
Edit: You go through a lot of ducks before you find a swan. It makes the swan far more special and learn what authors to buy and avoid.
@@robsomethin4415Romance is pretty common in fantasy. It’s even in Tolkien though not the focus. Wheel of Time has a love triangle. Romance is also usually in mysteries. Look at Game of Thrones. There’s no doubt that has had a huge impact on the genre. I can tell you a female author is much more likely to focus on that aspect than a male author does, usually.
3:52 that joke always makes me chuckle :3
I dig the new background, very crisp.
The new art is nice, but the swaying off the hammock is off. It should not move up and down, but instead side to side. I know that's harder to animate, but it would look loads better.
Dude your art looks like a skit from Archer.
1:38 the song is Baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini
If Tik Tok ties there's always UA-cam Shorts!
I would like to know, as a straight white male, who earns less than my father did with more responsibilities in a market with ever increasing inflation, how I am privledged or in control. But, I spose I'm not in the like top 30% of dudes so I'm not a human being, and therefore my experience does not matter.
0:20 Books have these things written on the back cover called a synopsis....
SOMETIMES they do.
Library of Congress cataloger here. Most modern books actually do have the subject headings for the material inside on the same page as the copyright date, so the first chick doesn't even seem to be looking for what she wants.
Other comments have speculated that she's talking about the sub-genres of "romance" in a more fethisistic fashion/desire, and thus is more pissed by the... what is the female version of blue balls?
11:00 If it's so dangerous in Tanzania then go to Kenya...
I know real refugees and these people give all asylum seekers a bad name with this entitlement. I know Chinese refugees that work extremely hard and even bought their own houses in order to not burden the state. Real refugees don't ask anything other than freedom.
That owl joke got me good, I'm still chuckling. A real diamond in the rough.
That man was probably a father. Yet he was out dadjoked!
Complains about how old our politicians are. Votes for Biden.
Dr.Phil is starting a whole network. He was on Rogan recently.
Even when outside Dev refuses to touch grass; maybe with a realistic amount of hammock sag you'd be able to Dev.
Don't books have a summary right on the back
Some don't anymore, only listing scores from critics or awards earned.
3:37 - This is so funny and such a clean joke. Best tiktok I’ve ever seen.
7:28 The only morally bankrupt person in that clip is the mother of the child, also shown in the inset of the police mugshot. I believe the woman on the mobility scooter is a concerned member of public. The mother is busy scrolling her phone, while another person dresses her child properly.
I kinda agree with the first woman. It is porn essentially, it might as well have the tags. To elaborate, you buy this book. You spend money on it. In this economy you want to know what you are buying.
damn... that CHAIR was hanging on for dear life!!!
"Does she want to be spoiled."
Hombre, she IS spoiled.
to the first lady, you know theirs a thing called a description, it ususally mentions if the book has a triangel
Been waiting all day for this, you rock
She never used "fat" to discribe the incels
First Tiktok she just wants the book to be tagged like an online fanfiction
Tik Tok is the source of all evil. -Dev 3:16
NGL First girl has a point, why aren't there any 'tags' anywhere to indicate what exactly a books themes are? Fanfic websites do it all the time and if any media actually needs better 'trigger warnings' or tags it's books.
Yeah, tagging basic tropes seems logical.
Why even buy books at all if you feel that anything beyond a synopsis on a wiki is too much reading to find out what happens? Sounds like a movie person forcing themselves to read books lol
When I was a kid, I did a lot of volunteer work with *actual refugees.* I knew a lawyer from Sudan who had to flee the entire continent of Africa cause the government had a price on his head.
The goddamn entitlement of the modern """""""""migrant""""""" and the incompetency of our government has got me at the "close the boarder and never open it again" position.
Tanzania is a safe country here bro that dudes a dirty liar
As someone who spent their whole life with a physical disability, I gotta say, blinding yourself to have that Disabled Experience rubs me the wrong way. Unfortunately don't think she'll *see* the error of her ways.
The first lady clearly has never read the back cover of a book, where they discribe exactly what you're getting into by reading the book.
"Women don't have control over their bodies"
I can confirm. One time I was talking to a girl when all of a sudden, her ears started smoking, I saw a little guy crawl out of her mouth and shout "malfunction", she slumped over, and her eyes turned black.
The boys do get tags at the start of the book. Normally they say like [m:wholesome] [m:cuddles] [m:homies] [m:kissgnight] [nohomo]
4:02 Despite the posturing, you just _know_ this guy is actually more annoyed and offended by the Tiktok ban than the "genocide" and all the rest he so casually drops into the conversation.
the lady at the start wants the synopsis that is usually printed on the back of the book to be printed inside at the start
Lots of books don't have the Synopsis anymore. The back cover is quotes (cherry picked) from multiple different sources that are some variation of "Book good"
To be fair, having nhentai tags for books would be interesting
it is the superior system. theres a reason why its so common.
Isn't this what the back of the book is for? Some kind of explanation of the premise to advertise to potential readers?
@@RipOffProductionsLLC you'd think, but most of the time it's the most cursory synopsis along with critic reviews. "A story of a girl finding herself amongst strife both normal and abnormal" could be used both as a descriptor for Twilight and Mistborne.
Nah Dev. It's not a garbage bag that that kid is wearing. It's the newest fashion from Balenciaga.
Enjoying the new look for Tiktok Tuesdays! Gotta say, if there's anything that inspires me to write my stuff to have basic lessons anyone can take away it's that Fat Chick talking about Incels, that's a pure lesson in "Don't throw stones from glass houses" if I've ever seen one.
0:26
This is the result of everything, especially romance novels, being repetitive, grey slop. At this point, readers know what tropes exist and aren't reading contemporary fiction to be surprised by anything they haven't read before. The "tropes at the front of the book" idea actually makes sense in this context; though, it wouldn't make sense for literature that's actually trying to be novel. (pun unintended)
I hated the way that woman asked if they had kids as if she knew better when she is doing everything wrong.
She wants tropes?
Here's one
If they talk with their fingernails, you can swipe next
Great,now he isn`t even sitting anymore.He is just laying there,menacingly!😂
Daily reminder that diversity and multi-culturalism, literally, have no end, soon enough you will your self somewhere between Karachi and Mogadishu!
It's been more like tiktok twilights recently with how late Dev uploads
Moving up in the world, eh?
7:57 she’s speaking from experience 😂
For the book tropes thing
Is that. Not what the synopsis on the back is for
You were cooking with the free speech and “paradox of tolerance”-type tweets the past few days. Love to see it.
Ok, that owl one was actually kind of nice, with a face of “ok, you got me” at the end
Tbh i do get where the girl from the first tiktok comes from. One too many times ive started reading manga series with interesting setups that absolutely shit the bed after the first 5 or so chapters.
But watching an spoiler free review should sufice I think. Unless what shes reading is too niche
Oh god, yes! SAO was this for me. And I'm having sort of the opposite with "Spy Family" and "Delicious in Dungeon." Having spoiler-free reviews of how stuff goes down the road would be so nice.
I don't like love triangles but really I'd rather be warned about whether or not a "will they won't they" ends without that question being answered. Rather get spoiled than get blue balled lol, but that's also something a review could answer.
The thing with the first clip is that a lot of women read 'spicy' books, which are just romance porn. It's like doujins for women, they come in all shapes and sizes and usually they're in the mood for a specific variety (like if you asked for vanilla and I gave you NTR you'd be pretty pissed). The problem is that all of those books just get tagged as romance, so you see the problem
Ah, so it's not even "I want specific genres", it's "this porno doesn't have my specific fetish"
@@RipOffProductionsLLC pretty much
The Tiktok ban is bad because it isn't an actual ban on Tiktok, it gives the government power to just shitcan any phone apps.
I've talked to a Chinese immigrant as well, although he was in his teens when he came to America with his family. He loathes the culture (not the politics, the way normal everyday people go about their days) and will talk about how it's one of the most abhorrent cultures on the planet (and provides examples which having worked with tourists, I can confirm. They're awful people). He's extremely patriotic, looking like an American stereotype if it wasn't for his race lol.
The big lady in a mobility scooter was a stranger who couldn't watch a child freezing, so she took some clothes from the store and put them on him. I assume she paid for them at checkout, probably whole store knew what was going on and cops were called on that 'mother'. I cannot imagine being such a 'parent'.
7:00 Dev, I'm pretty sure it's not a trashbag. Look like a dark jacket. Look how at some angles you can see 2 arms on it. Seems like they're just taking clothes and putting on the baby- aka another ''not paying for stuff/ stealing'' TikTok.
Apparently, the mother brought her kid to Walmart with nothing but a diaper on during 20 degree winter storm conditions, the jacket was something a random customer put on him, sane with that older lady later putting clothes on him(which she kept the tags fir and payed for herself)
@0:16-.-I think this woman probably reads a lot of fan fiction, which as a matter of necessity, tends to rely heavily on creator applied tags. Many tags end up referring to various tropes and things people are warned from, which creates A culture where there are expectations built up around specific tags, and people develop favorite and least favorite tags. I do not think this is inherently A good or bad thing, but it is interesting/funny to see this applied to real books. I think it would be really interesting to really dig into the psychology of this phenomenon, since, whether people know it or not, everyone has favorite tropes, since tropes are ultimately just common similarities between stories, and so everyone is going to have "that thing they really like seeing in stories", but no one likes to think of it like this because it's a very specific and superficial aspect of storytelling to focus on. But fanfic readers are very masked off about this, which I find incredibly interesting anthropologically.
Dr. Phill is like. Im not getting payed enough for this... Oh wait... no I am payed way more than I should be acually.
the first damn video. "THERE'S LITERALLY A SYNOPSIS ON THE BACK OF THE BOOK WOMAN"
The worst part of that "trans-blind" lady was that she got herself blinded with the help of her therapist who justified the whole operation as a treatment for her.
So why is it that what this lady did, with the support of her therapist as a treatment to her dysphoria somehow freaks us out more than when a transgender person goes through a similar operation with the support of their therapist to treat theur dysphoria and turn otherwise functional body part into non-functioning one?
I love the new graphic!
1:00 Mfer, the back of the book gives you a short summary of the first couple chapters. Are people seriously too illiterate to do that?
Edit: I can't believe literature - even language - is unironically a "specialized" field now because of just how partitioned off every field is from each other. The mindset we have is, largely, "I don't need to know ____, I'm an accountant," for instance. It's the same reason people refuse to do anything other than the bare minimum at work, just more fundamental. So many people have retreated into their echo chambers and are now refusing to learn any words that aren't within that sphere of influence. I'm sure this can only have disastrous results.
Tiktokers are
To be fair, a lot of books try to make themselves look "presentable" by not putting plot synopsis or premise content on the jacket anymore, just the title, AUTHOR'S NAME, and maybe an award or previous work, or a famous critic's praise.
Bro finally went outside and touched virtual grass.
