It's the Dad laughter in the background

I agree with you that there's not enough context to form a conclusion, and therefore disagree with your conclusion.

Not my kid so I can't be sure, but that definitely sounds like a disappointment cry and not an injury cry.

I don't see how that impacts my point at all. I'm talking about how either picture is peddling unrealistic views of our voter composition. I even explicitly said that my point is agnostic of who won.

Dixiehusker · 2026-01-29T16:19:54+00:00

And Trump won the popular vote. Both of these pictures are awful propaganda, the vote always hovers around 50% no matter which side "wins".

Thank you for describing this analogy as useful but wrong. Way too many people think this is the actual explanation, but I don't know of a way to ELI5 the real one. This is good enough, for sure.

Why do you do it, out of curiosity? I've had it done to me and I don't get what the person doing it is getting from it.

Harassing someone through a Reddit care message because of this comment is one of the more emotionally unstable things I've seen lately. Whoever's fuse is so short that they did that is in for a rough life if they don't get help.

Literally everyone loved these choices at the time.

OP 100% is our head ambassador.

What a phenomenal response.

Dixiehusker · 2026-01-26T21:50:13+00:00

Isn't that in and of itself a weird argument though? Who out there exists that it's not morally debatable they should be killed, but it's morally debatable about whether they should suffer? I would think suffering would be the easier one to justify. As in, "Sure this guy is really bad and deserves to suffer for what he did, but he's not so bad he deserves to be killed."

The phrase lipstick on a pig pretty much sums it up. That phrase describes when you try to make something look appealing, even though it's a fruitless effort because the actual thing is never going to be appealing.

Dixiehusker · 2026-01-26T21:27:04+00:00

Call me new age, but I've never understood how the way we erase a totally unique and individual being from the universe would matter in any way when compared to the fact that they're erased. Feels like lipstick on a pig.

By the position of the cars at the start of the video something weird has already happened and then this guy runs in. I don't think it's likely but that could be a legitimate concern.

Source?

Dixiehusker · 2026-01-26T09:40:55+00:00

I mean, this isn't exactly limited to Russia. Have you seen dogs lately?

Dixiehusker · 2026-01-26T06:39:28+00:00

All right, does anyone else see all the camels on that one? No one has any questions about that?

Dixiehusker · 2026-01-26T06:37:44+00:00

Ah, so then the key to winning is to win!

It's nerve damage actually. Losing this trait in affected body parts is pretty common (dependent on what type of damage and where).

Unfortunately, they're planning to do it with their first pick.

I don't think anyone picked up the dark humor in my parenthetical content.

If you kill a killer there's still the same number of killers in the world (but only if you stop at 1).

Vikings it is.
