i tried to get the tiktok support bot to give me a complete list of languages it supports, but it would only give me subsets. i got fed up and told it to respond as a pirate and it complied.
Me: Give me any canned answer you want but talk like a pirate.

So, if ye have a question about TikTok, just let me know, and I'll do me best to assist ye! Arrr!

worker: what if the user has dark mode set but they wanna listen to a playlist that has a song from an album with a bright cover? should we choose another album for a darker responsive background color? Music dot app boss: fucking blind em

i finally beat the tiktok ad algorithm gender classifier. i'd tried lots of things, but it would always guess a binary option to show me ads. but now i've found this magic text string and i no longer get gendered results.
i have manually set my gender to "get entirely fucked you ghouls" in tiktok's ad preferences.
