As always check our sources in the description, and shoot me your email here and I’ll send you some behind the scenes stuff we can’t publish on YouTube. https://forms.gle/A7JZTU5UR7fr7DxSA
I deleted my Mta accounts two months ago. No Facebook, no Insta. No daily insults, no daily arguments with narrow mindet toxic people. Yes, I lost a few people I really liked and shared a similar set of values. But these nice friendly interactions were just a small percentege of my daily dose of social media. Thanks to totally toxic group admins who bully everyone with a slightly different opinion out of the group to keep their bubble nice and clean and free from reasonable conversations. I don't feel sorry I didn't feed your Gottkomplex and your narcicisstic desire to be in control.
Yes, I did spend to much time on Facebook and Insta. And blocking me for having a neutral balanced opinion and my annoying asking for science backed sources made me realize: This is not good for my mental health…
I think of the Metaverse like an more evil thing like 1984 by Orwell.
Oh right, this is the one we were shown a preliminary script reading to.
lol, but yeah lol
I do agree that relish sucks on a hotdog. It doesn't enhance any flavors, instead, it just overtakes them.
anyone else actually agree about the relish thing?
Idk if saying something on YouTube comments and never interacting with them is social media but and Snapchat to communicate with iOS users better is all i have so hopefully my data isn't too scrambled and never joined the others so again not sure
Being in an Arby's bathroom would unnerved anyone
Roger going straight for the jugular… yet again
Oh my! This was biting, I like to get bit. Biting as it may be, I feel you walked a tightrope, you could have bitten deeper but you are wary and wise. Well written.
Roger, of course, is like fine wine, he ripens and gains new tastes with the passage of time, a thespian of fine vintage
Damn, they're calling Facebook OUT for that shit.
4:00 they did the same thing with Covid.
I love Roger ❤️
Another winner! Keep 'em coming!
You know what you did. Have this like, you bastards
He’s done it again
