This week in trending Twitter hashtags...

As always, I had some fun with trending hashtags on Twitter over the past couple of weeks. Here are my posts, ordered from the most popular to the least popular (all my tweets can be viewed at this link - https://twitter.com/CraigRozniecki):

1) Kanye West: "I'm being attacked for presenting new ideas."

No, you're being attacked for presenting stupid ideas...

4) In the future
Kanye West: "If a guy holds a toilet paper roll to his belly for like 9 minutes, he'll basically know what pregnancy's like."

The Twittersphere lets him have it.

West: "I'm getting attacked for presenting new ideas."

5) Dear Kanye defenders:

The definition of free-thinker is "a person who rejects accepted opinions, especially those opinions concerning religious belief."

When a person continually rejects facts, they're not free-thinkers; they're just ignorant. Period.

6) Between complimenting Donald Trump on his presidency and claiming slavery was a choice, it seems painfully obvious Kanye West has chosen to be the biggest buffoon this side of Donald Trump.

7) It seems kind of surreal at first to see so many Trump trolls defending Kanye West, but then soon after realizing he recently claimed that slavery was a choice, it all starts making sense.

8) Kanye West: "Having never been a slave myself, I think I have the knowledge and experience necessary to say that slavery was a choice. I mean, that's just common sense."

10) #IfSlaveryWasAChoice, so many people wouldn't have placed their lives on the line trying to end it.

GOPers: "Democrats are the party of slavery! Learn your history!"

11) People and ideas change. While Lincoln may have been a Republican and abolished the slaves, 150 years later, the GOP has become the party of slavery.

So says a guy who has embraced the cult known as Donald Trump...

13) LeBron James: "Some of the president's comments are laughable and scary."
GOPers: "Shut up and dribble!"

14) Kanye: "Slavery was a choice."

He gets blasted by all non-RWNJs

RWNJs: "The left hates being challenged!"

Yes, because contending that victims had a choice and a fault in slavery, rape, murder, assault, etc. is a prime example of thought-provoking. Not.

15) Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire of escaping from them."

Kanye West: "Yeah, but that's all a choice..."

16) Climate-change is proven.
GOPers: "Crazy!"

So too that Obama was born in the US
GOPers: "Whatever!"

& that the earth is round
GOPers: "Says who?!?"

Kanye West claims that slavery was a choice.
GOPers: "Wow, now that's something you have to think about!"

17) GOPers: "2 + 2 = 7!"

No, 2 + 2 = 4.

GOPers: "You're just afraid of being challenged!"

No, there's challenging and stupid. That's stupid.

RWNJs: "That was out of line! Disgraceful!"

20) Dear Kanye defenders:

Living in the past & acknowledging the past for what it was are two different things. Admitting slavery existed & wasn't a choice is not to say one is still living in slavery. The first step to solving a problem is admitting it exists.

21) I find it ironically fitting that the top trending hashtag is #NationalDayOfPrayer, as in light of the new revelations in the Trump investigations, that's all he's got left - a prayer.

22) The modern-day GOP: Where the nonpartisan is partisan; facts are biased; conspiracies are facts; and history is flexible.

23) Huck Sanders: "I'd first like to use this #NationalDayOfPrayer to pray for the journalists that were killed the other day. As Trump has lovingly said, 'Journalists are the enemy of the people.' Again, our thoughts and prayers to these enemies."

24) Before
RWNJs: "Slavery wasn't a choice."

Now
RWNJs: "Slavery was a choice."

They receive the inevitable blowback.

RWNJs: "Hey, at least we've evolved!"

No, you've just distorted history/reality. Congratulations.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
