My luck, how things go - every click I'd owe THEM money.
That's just what I thought Bill. Gee, if the US banned Tik-Tok they would actually have to talk to people - oh my!

Too bad this reality appears to actually be reality, otherwise I'd suggest that perhaps the best thing that could happen to many of those who live FOR and ON tiktok and instacrap would be better off if they ended up being sucked into those systems like something out of the old Tron or even Lawn Mower Man movies. It's a whole sub-culture and it's not always very pretty.
Let them be "absorbed" then pull the plug? LOL.......... J/K, sort of.

Just sharing, I thought I would start your Monday.... with some humor...

I'm still grasping the idea that so many people like this exist...
Also, makes me wonder about "our" jeep community/base as a whole... is this one of those " one bad apple" senerios or is this more common throughout the jeep community than I realize ?

Atleast according to this ex Mustang driver, Jeeps suck.

Warning... if your like me, I could hardly get through the videos... blonde is cute, but absolutely obnoxious... and the ball cap chika had me at "my wife".

Here is the original article that sparked this off.

What are your thoughts ?
I’m new here but I wonder how you can honestly compare a Jeep to a Mustang?

That's actually a big problem seen by employers - those who life on tiktok and then try to get a real job - can't get along well with others, refuse to even listen to the other person in the room.
There's been a number of studies on it, and companies that go in and help large employers with such problems have written extensively about it. They have to ability to actually deal with other personalities and ideas. They instantly shut down anything outside of themselves just like they can hit an "ignore" button online or they trash them verbally, as they would online.
It used to be that people would rarely ever do or say what they do behind the anonymity of the keyboard but that's just not the case today. Too many believe that tiktok and instacrap are the reality so they can behave the same way in person face-to-face.
They struggle with meetings and other ideas. What they have seen online is the only truth that matters.

Here's my comparison -
if you want to go someplace really fast using roads and streets - Mustang
If you want to go ANYWHERE, regardless of weather, deep snow, the existence of roads/streets and so on - Jeep

There's my comparison.

I laughed out loud when I saw this video. I could only take about 15 seconds before clicking off. I wanted to share the video for laughs, but I decided to watch the video before sharing.

I think there are a lot of people out there just like her, making a bad choice and them blaming the product, because it doesn't meet their standards.

I would love to see one of those YouTubers go out and buy a Cobra Mustang and take it out to Moab. Then post a video on how crappy the Mustang is.

Nothing of value would be lost, Bill.

If anything, it could be just the right amount of chlorine for the gene pool to thin the herd.

Regardless, I'd love to see TikTok get shut down entirely. It is a cesspool of group think that makes Twitter look like grad school at Oxford.

Exactly! I'd still take the Jeep, what's a few seconds or minutes. They both go the posted speed limits.

I don't like driving (not so good at it either), I don't off road, I didn't do proper research or test drive before I purchased the vehicle, I like to complain (I may have written reviews for counter pizza joints about lack of service and ambiance)

Jeep Sucks!

Exactly. I've owned a variety of vehicles over the years from sports cars to 4x4's - you can't compare them as they are different vehicles.

The Chinese own it. The CCP won't allow it in their own country. India has banned it.
Im sure you've heard already... but the government is talking about banning it or making them sell it to another party. I'm not sure of the details... just a tidbit I caught on the radio.

I swear, tiktok is going to create a whole generation who can't get along with real people and just don't understand the world because they live in their own little world.
I'm afraid they already have or atleast is already so far on it's way, its unstoppable. It's very scary and sad.

Naturally, I made fun of them in a rather obvious mannerIE: My fat white ass coming out of the Blue Lagoon like a mermaid was a thing to behold.
I would love to see a video of that ! How funny !... who knows you might already be and internet star an not know it...

Except I didn't bring my goddamned phone in the pool like those idiots so ya'll will just have to imagine Moby Dick breaching while Ahab launches a harpoon.
Love your descriptive talent in telling a story ! SO FUNNY !

I keep picturing this:

Jeep Gladiator "Jeeps are the most overrated and terrible cars there are" PygBlueWhale-WestAustralia-ChrisJohnson

I predict that Tik-Tok will be purchased by a number of American billionaires. I doubt it will go away. I don't use it.
Already in the works. I believe our Gov has given them an ultimatum... be banned or sale it(to an approved buyer).

I'm not sure what the details are... I just caught the end of the conversation on the radio.
