snapchat: photoshop for dumbs?

i don’t know why i put a question mark in the title, snapchat is absolutely photoshop for lazy narcissists. i’m not here acting like i’ve never photoshopped out the jared leto tattoo i have on my neck for my linkedin picture, but i actually fuckin’ put in work to learn photoshop like the “go-getter” narcissist that i am.

ever since people realized the “chat” portion of “snapchat” is useless and every single social media app does their service better, snapchat was like “oh fuk we gotta EVOLVE baby” and added filters for women on dating apps.

and this is how we get a lean mean beautifying machine that rivals adobe’s stalin-esque (apologies to stalin) hold on the digital image medium. that’s how people still have snapchat on their phones, despite it being less than useless. thanks for listening to my TEDtalk on longevity in the digital ADHD age. in summary, stop fucking “texting” me on snapchat, it’s worse than drawing a laugh emoji on a pidgeon and throwing it in the relative cardinal direction of my house.
