Ever chuckled at the idea that your love for pineapple on pizza might reveal more about you than just your taste buds? Well, buckle up for a riotous ride through the absurd fashion and home decor "laws" that social media seems to have etched in stone. We'll expose the laughable links between your menu choices and your personality, while also tackling the sometimes ridiculous expectations around fashion labels and hair care routines. And if you've ever felt the pressure to ditch your box braids after just a week, you're in for a treat as I let loose on why these rules need to be braided right out of existence. We're all about flipping the script on these online commandments and advocating for the ultimate trend: being unapologetically you.
Then, switch into troubleshooting mode with us as we dissect the demise of a Roku TV and the larger conversation about the trustworthiness of technology brands. We've all been there – that moment of betrayal when our beloved gadgets give up the ghost. But fear not, we'll guide you through the jungle of jittery screens and fading colors, sharing wisdom on when it might be wise to splurge on a big-name brand versus taking a gamble on a more wallet-friendly contender. No guests needed in this candid confab, just real talk on navigating the tech market and a hearty endorsement for tuning into your own needs over the hype of shiny new devices. Hit play, and let's challenge the tech trust issues together!

Speaker 1:
Welcome to Taken it where we talk about whatever we see on the black internet.
Speaker 2:
Everything that I have learned from being on social media in 2023. You are not allowed to have brown cabinets. You are not allowed to have a Roku TV. You are not allowed to have toothbrushes in your bathroom because of boo boo air. You are not allowed to have a white refrigerator. You are not allowed to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. If your friend is simply venting to you, it is still a red flag because she is a crisis friend.
Speaker 2:
You are not allowed to wear she-in or fashion Nova because it means that you are broke. You are not allowed to re-wear the same outfit or the same shoes for more than two consecutive days. You are not allowed to wear box braids for longer than two weeks. Honorable mention, not less. Braids cannot be worn for more than four days or people will make fun of your hair. You are not allowed to wear box braids to a birthday dinner. You are not allowed to dress nice or wear makeup to your friend's birthday dinner. You are not allowed to have fun past the age of 30. Honorable mention once you turn 25.
Speaker 2:
If you do not like carne asada, then you are a narcissist. If you do not like cereal, then you are a narcissist. Biting ice cream is a sign of a trauma response. You are not allowed to drink strawberry lemonade as a man, or that is sassy. You are not allowed to have popcorn ceilings. You are not allowed to work a 9-5 job. If your boyfriend doesn't let you use him as a step stool, then he hates you and it is a sign of avoided attachment style, press on nails or ghetto. You are not allowed to date someone who is either two years younger than you or two years older than you, even though you guys are both adults. If you are a celebrity influencer or a clout chaser but flying Southwest Airlines, you are broke. You are not allowed to breathe or you will be considered broke.
Speaker 1:
First of all, if y'all think I'm only keeping my mouth shut for four days, y'all can fucking forget it. Okay, I keep my shit in for about two or three weeks. After that I get locks, my shit get a little nappy, but y'all are tripping about some four days.
Speaker 2:
That's where I love shit.
Speaker 1:
I thought you only had one there for a week. Yeah, I don't win in the pool and everything in these. And guess what? We're still holding strong. You want a side part? Oh, okay, hold on, let's switch the side. Like, what are we talking about? You want some buns? You want a bun? You want a bun. You want a high pony? Give me a pony. Y'all are bugging out. You think I'm taking these out in four days. First of all, I do it myself. It takes me four days to finish. First of all, you want to finish the line. It takes like six, five, six hours to get this shit in.
Speaker 1:
It takes me too long to finish them and take them out as soon as I'm done the fuck. First of all, I keep my mouth shut for about a good two or three months. I'm getting my money's worth.
Speaker 2:
No.
Speaker 1:
I'm not doing that. I don't have the hair to do that. I'm about to say this is where the hell nappy. At the time, we going to rock a beanie, we going to rock a hat or we going to put a scarf on, we going to put some products and slick it down a little bit.
Speaker 2:
It makes the hair products work.
Speaker 1:
As soon as I see them little limbo's. As soon as I see that she getting gray, they're coming out.
Speaker 2:
Okay, yeah, it takes you in there.
Speaker 1:
But that's from like, when you put a lot of like edge control and stuff on them, it takes my hair a lot to do that. But I'm not opposed to washing my braids if I have to, because I am getting my money's worth. I've never washed my braids.
Speaker 2:
I'll just take them on and wash my hair.
Speaker 1:
I've done it a couple of times. And then it's so in time, or bundles and saws, as y'all call it. So in time Wigs time. I believe that's acceptable because they ain't saying shit about that. Wigs so in Wigs and saws.
Speaker 2:
That's always going to be a thing and I don't want to do wigs like that anymore. Wigs were not acceptable. For a long time yeah.
Speaker 1:
Because also, when you associated wigs, it was more so like the grandma fucking wigs, Not the ones with you know it was the late friends with the square forehead. That shit, they gave you a shape up. They were the granny wigs.
Speaker 2:
My mom used to wear it up. We ain't talking about these kind of wigs, the ones that cost hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1:
They come out, the ones that you can give for $25. The shake and go wigs the only got wigs is called shake and go wigs. Shake that shit out, the damn bag, and you wear it and go. And they come back together, those wigs these wigs. I can use them sometimes, but then I'll cut the little joint and then have a little leave out. You can't tell the difference.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that ain't going anywhere.
Speaker 1:
It's slick down and cool. That's all you need. You only need enough time to figure out your next hairstyle. Yes, exactly so I don't understand the problem. But for days, for not was raised. It takes a long to get up.
Speaker 2:

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:
I don't know. That's what I've always believed. I feel like it used to be. There was an epidemic with popcorn, so then asbestos. But Could be my imagination, but I'd be knowing shit like that, especially 12 and a half foot ceilings, and no Given I haven't fucked with them lately. The service for fashion over.
