[Bit 1]

I was doing Tinder for a while,
and you know, a lot of comics, they talk about Tinder,
'cause it's like, infamously the worst dating app, you know?
But the craziest thing to me about Tinder
is when I was doing that, when I created my profile,
Tinder makes you pick like a whole bunch of hobbies
and interests that show up on your profile.
You cannot finish creating your profile
without picking hobbies and interests,
so Tinder gives you a big list of hobbies to pick from.
I thought this was weird.
Did you know you could pick Black Lives Matter as a hobby?
That's a hobby?
I support Black Lives Matter.
I mean, you know, that's not a hobby to me.
That's just something that is.
It's like food or something.
I'm like, all right, yes.
Black people, they acknowledge, exist.
If you don't know what a hobby is, a hobby is like something you can do after work.
Like you can squeeze in with the free time, like playing the drums or something.
You want to do that with the lives of black people?
That's kind of fucked up.
How do you explain that to somebody?
Somebody's like, "Do you support Black Lives Matter?"
And you're like, "I'll be honest.
I have been swamped at work recently."
