    Kurt Cobain has probably been gone longer than these people have been alive.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            And then the next days, news were all about teens who committed suicide (or failed to, ending up as vegetables) in a similar fashion.

            That was weird.

                  Yeah I was also really surprised by the contagiousness of suicide. When I first saw the article I linked I thought “how cruel they won’t give a student a space in the yearbook, it would help the grieving family so much”. Then I read it all and it made sense. I feel horrible for those families but at the same time they likely don’t want to be responsible for other families suffering what they have gone through just to have a photo of their child in the yearbook.

            I don’t remember how I heard about it, but I was in the middle of my “fuck everyone and everything people enjoy” phase of being a teenager, so I was probably happy about it unfortunately.

              I was 14 and I remember it quite well. All us teens in the park behind our apartment building had long discussion about it. I also remember all the copy cat suicides that followed his death to.

              But yes Nirvana is now classic rock!

      Kurt Cobain would have utterly hated Chaya Raichik. I don’t know about Kris Noviselic (apparently he’s gotten a bit weird politically) but I’d bet Dave Grohl despises her.

        For anyone wondering, Chaya Raichik is the reactionary ghoul who runs Libs of TikTok. I actually had no idea this was a semi-famous person until you actually made a comment about them.

          Reactionary ghoul is a very kind way to refer to a hateful terrorist agitator.

      Yeah probably. I think she’s about my age and I don’t care to find out. I was born a few months after Cobain died and turn 30 this year

      I wish.

      This bitch is as dumb as she is xenophobic. She lives in California but for some fucking reason is on the Oklahoma Library Media Advisory Committee for equally xenophobic dumbass Ryan Walters. (Mostly hunting for materials they don’t like in our school libraries and classes, probably LGBT inclusive material)

      The question is less whether or not this is/was rage bait, and more if this is/was real. Considering she has said and shared far worse on her ‘Libs of TikTok,’ I wholeheartedly believe it was real. It’s right up her alley.

    It seems she’s devoid of personality, which explains her bile against people who have any. She’s just a useful idiot for the culture war assholes

      I remember watching her first interview with Tucker Carlson and thinking “oh thank god she’s a black hole for charisma.” She’s just a void of intellect and nuance collapsing in on itself… of course Ron DeSantis likes her.

        Well, in this specific instance she’s a known bigot and all around bad person because of her targeting the queer community. Also, her interviews trying to defend this behavior do not show her in a very positive light. All I’m saying is that if basically anyone else had posted it, there would probably not be this strong of a reaction.

    IMO all TikTok users have a brain deficit, not just one group of people. They traded neurons for superficial knowledge or meaning

        Yeah, real, I see people talk about “young kids on da tok all day” and I’m like, you’re just making fun of kids/teenagers mostly, the same thing you criticized the older generations of doing towards you. Let kids be kids, it’s fine. Having a childhood is important, it sucks to be denied it.

          My daughter uses TikTok. It’s kind of an alternative way to chat with her friends. Same with Snapchat. She’s not hanging out with pedophiles or whatever. They’re friends she met when she was in school or at the library or whatever. They just do the online version of hanging out with each other… which I did when I was on dialup BBSes with my friends back in the 1990s. It was just slower.

        Dude, one of my friends that was a university student told me that covid vaccines made you magnetic. He believed 100%, and BTW he studied Physics. His reasoning was that he found it on TikTok, and that most famous people there told him so.

        I know that being stupid cannot be instilled by a social media platform. But a social media can slowly empower your stupidity if by itself the platform mostly presents its users with absurd content.

        There was a flat earth movement on TikTok too, right?

        Posting the same shit to get social credits? Most people don’t even know what they are even posting on tiktok. They follow the trend.

        Yes it’s like this in all platforms, most people follow the trend. But in TikTok the platform main goal is to post videos about trends, like NPCs. Everybody the same.

        A platform goal cannot be the sole purpose of generate trends. That’s like if art was generated in mass production factories.

        Mass production trends are as healthy to your brain as mass produced food is to your metabolism.

        Unschooled people ruling society knowledge because of TikTok.

        We are flooding our universities with dumb brain filling crap, and lowering intellectual capacity of what is supposed to be society peak knowledge (university).

          Educated people believed all sorts of silly things long before the internet. It’s not an internet problem or a social media problem, it’s a gullibility problem.
