minus-squareMotoAsh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·3 days agoA tool of a person is a fool who is being used by someone else. They might not be useful to you, but to who ever makes the koolaid they’re drinking, they’re a very good tool.
minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 days agoI think that’s the basic idea, but in practice it’s used for people who are just generally dumb as well.
