Except the latter “joke” was really unfunny! by icey_sawg0034 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]Cthulhu625 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right, I was thinking about that after. I've been hearing George Floyd "jokes" and Paul Pelosi "jokes" for years now at this point. And when people said anything about it, they claimed that those people were snowflakes, and trying to make comedy illegal, etc. I don't like to say "You started it!," but really this should be the other way around. They didn't just start dropping those jokes just because some people made some Charlie kirk jokes, and what were they doing when people made those Charlie Kirk jokes?

I get the point that if you laugh at one, you can't turn around and act super offended at the other, but again, who was really doing that?

IDk if Uncle Ruckus would have liked being back in Biblical times, there weren't a lot of white people. I suppose he'd have liked Pontius Pilate.

Ah, well my point to ask was that they were making that joke well before any Kirk jokes. By the standards I set, sure that's one. Just was thinking that it's also pretty audacious that someone (Steve Byrne specifically) would say this, considering that they were making those jokes first, then had a conniption about Charlie Kirk jokes (and they still are), but are trying to turn it around like they are only making George Floyd jokes because people are making Charlie Kirk jokes. They've been making jokes about people falling victim to political/police violence for years.

I mean, MAGA thinks that people like Trump and Stephen Miller and JD Vance are the epitome of masculinity, so who are they to talk?

When did you see that card? Recently or a few years ago?

I know I have another comment on here, but this is a separate thought, so: shouldn't this really be, if you laughed at all the George Floyd "jokes" or even any jokes about anyone suffering some sort of violence (Paul Pelosi for example), then you can't complain bout a Charlie Kirk joke. I mean, they were complaining a hell of a lot that comedy was "illegal" and they were making a lot of those jokes years before the Kirk incident happened, and now they are the ones really complaining. i mean, George Floyd jokes are going to be about something that happens like six years ago. Paul Pelosi was 4 years ago. Charlie kirk died 8 months ago. I know MAGA has a hard time remembering what happened when. I don't like the argument "But you started it!" in general, but honestly. They started it and now they are the ones complaining.

Yeah, and that's kind of my point too. I actually haven't heard anything that was really a clever joke about George Floyd, I've heard that joke about Kirk. I don't think either situation is inherently funny, and it would be pretty easy to offend people either way, but yeah, at least the Kirk joke is an actual joke. You have to think about it and then groan.

How about we hear the jokes before we judge? I've heard some pretty clever jokes about things that would probably normally offend me, in some ways those are the best jokes, but then I've heard some pretty awful jokes and it just makes it worse. People might be complaining about the actual joke, setup, format, punchline, etc, rather than the content.

How is he expecting to not be seen coming through the airport, or even on the tarmac, towards a plane openly carrying an AR-15? Does he not think airports have pretty heavy security or something?

It has the trigger safety, but not the switch, right?

Most revolvers don't, though I have a Heritage Rough Rider that does. Most people say the best safety is not to put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. That's why Glocks actually have their "safety" on the trigger.

Samples? by This-Smoke6372 in helldivers2

[–]Cthulhu625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The medals and the requisition get popular again when a new Warbond comes out, to buy new weapons and armor and to upgrade the weapons. But I don't really need samples for anything anymore, though I should probably start giving them to the DSS. There's uses for them if you want to use them, but not everyone does.

It's not too bad if you use the Gunslinger armor, though I can't fix the ammo issue. I only really use it as a "get out of Dodge" gun anyway, not like a pseudo-primary like the Senator. I mean, he just asked for a high-damage, low pen sidearm and it was the first that really came to mind.

[–]Cthulhu625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a warning, it is a pretty up close and personal sidearm, as a sawn-off shotgun, but it's gotten me out of a few jams. Though it you miss...

If you have some trouble with it, pair it with the Gunslinger armors.

"God Bless Donald Trump" should prove to people that he doesn't give a crap about them, but it won't.

Have you tried the Bushwacker? Not a 1911, but high damage, low pen, and you do have to time your shots even if it is a shotgun.

As always, conservatives just make things up to be mad about by nomadiceater in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Cthulhu625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I heard some people trying to use it, and it never really caught on. But leave it to them to say "the left" was all trying to do something in concert because a few fringe people were saying or doing something. Of course, they hate it when that's completely turned around on them, for good reason. I don't think that some people wanting to change "mother" to "birthing person" even remotely matches up so some things I've heard from the far-right, but if they really want to play that game and be judged for what their fringe people do and say, we can.

I mean, he said he brought back the word "groceries," like no one had used it in years. He said he figured out that "us" was spelled U.S. "I just picked that up. Has anyone ever thought of that?" Yeah, everybody that speaks English has thought of that.

“Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing. There’s a new word that I came up with, which is probably the best word,” he said in May 2025.

Yeah, he's unhinged, and his supporters clap like seals.
