“Now Imma tell you the truth: niggas is high out here, so they don’t wanna hear that shit,” he continued. “They just wanna have a good time. You know what I’m saying?

mainland Chinese wouldn’t understand* why a fortune cookie is presented with the bill for food served in an American Chinese restaurant.

Since we all know that the advise “don’t voluntarily relinquish control of compromising pictures, you goddamn idiot, it’s 2017” means that you’re officially 300 years old nowadays (apparently), this was an excellent (and funny) guide with some real good advise.
