I couldn't bear to listen/read the transcript because of the childish use of the word 'like' every few seconds. Gawd, I'm so glad I'm not young anymore. Give me strength to bear it all. I'm pretty tech savvy but I seriously didn't understand what they were going on about,😭

I begrudgingly started listening to it. I pressed stop in the middle.
I ventured to Substack to get far away from this superficial consumer garbage. Nina’s (above) statement, “This has been a haven for thoughtful, well-written, intelligent, respectful content….” Is WHY I JOINED Substack.
I have noticed the creeping in of all the entities and mindlessness in the last couple of weeks.
I assume this is the prelude to the end a quality platform.
Like but don't like that you nailed it. The great American inevitably is that eventually the bigger fish will buy out/capture/own the smaller fish.
I attempt satire both as a mental health survival tool and to hold a mirror up to wound licking mutual admiration fellows. Sometimes (but rarely :-) it's funny, other times it's not comfortable for the reader.
There's way too much boiling frog going on in these commiseration powwows. If some of their time spent posting would instead be allocated to learning our Constitution the knowledge gained could and should be used to challenge our courts and de facto public functionaries.
Crap education so like takes care of a stunted vocab:
Filler: It often acts as a filler word similar to "um" or "uh," providing the speaker a moment to think. For example, "I was, like, walking to the store..." Could have left it out here
Approximation: "Like" can indicate that what follows is not an exact number or description. For example, "There were like a hundred people at the party." They haven't heard of approximately or about or thereabouts or more or less.
Emphasis or Focus: It can emphasize a particular word or phrase. For example, "It's, like, the best movie ever." Don't know "As far as I am concerned," or definitely or without a doubt or undoubtedly or ( This'll fool 'em) indubitably.
Quoting Speech or Thoughts: "Like" is used to introduce quoted speech or thoughts. For example, "He was like, 'What are you doing here?'" He exclaimed...or He blurted out... or He exclaimed... or He proclaimed.
Hedging: It softens statements, making them seem less direct or assertive. For example, "I think it's, like, too much work." This is just plain bloody wokesterville stuff.

Think you've got problems. Read up on the courts in New Zealand.
Agreed ✌🏻
I would blame corrupt politicians for getting rid of TikTok in general.
I couldn't agree more.
