I’ve been told the government can monitor you through your cell phone, so occasionally I pick up my phone and ask if they’re bored yet.

That’s a smart bird for once, those are really good

Do they track how many chips go into a chocolate chip cookie?

I want cheddar jalapeño.

That’s ‘Loon’ all right, off into the ‘back 40’ somewhere ! ! ! !

When ever I here that nonsense I ask to what end ? They say to control us ! I ask for what purpose ? I usually get crickets!

Have you noticed two men following you in a black Chevy?

I love Ruffles Cheesy Sour Cream Chips.

I have 3 chips in me now that I have been triple vaxxed. And, when the government shows up, I put them to work in the yard. It has been a blessing to this old bod.

As opposed to Soylent, which puts people into chips.

Only dumb asses believe that crap!

I’m now too old and too tame to come under any government’s microscope anymore, so they don’t arouse any personal paranoia. The personal data farmers and trackers are the ones that annoy me and I take measures to circumvent and/or block them. Even if you knew my real identity, most of the information garnered from an internet search would be false or inaccurate – some deliberately erroneous and some of it misinformation I have been too lazy to correct.

I’ve always said I don’t care what people and governments think they know about me, so long as they leave me alone and continue to pay me, I’m cool with it!

Some years ago, it was suggested that we might implant a credit card chip in our hand so we’d never be without our charge card.

No need to implant a chip if you can convince people to carry a tracking device with them everywhere and stare at it for hours on end. But something like that could never happen.

The government doesn’t have to plant chips, our country is full of wimps.

I love the response to that old RWNJ meme

The gov’t is giving chips? And all this time I’ve been buying them. Kinda partial to Cape Cod myself

Chips.. are obsolete already. The republicans have gone straight to mind control. A few hours on Fox News listening to Tuckers rants and secret imbedded radio waves will take over your reasoning ability leaving you an imbecile. Don’t believe me? Just listen to his followers and judge for yourself.

good come back!

Me too, umm umm!

Man, you just can’t fix stupid.

If there are chips in the vaccines, who was president when that started?

People can simultaneously think the government is too stupid to pour water out of a boot with instructions of how printed on the sole, while being able to maintain century-long conspiracies to secretly control every aspect of their lives.

People who worry about such things have delusions of grandeur, as though someone would care about their sorry little lives. If you really want attention, you have to go do something stupid in public.

I can usually put chips in myself, without any help, thank you very much.
