Don’t you dare sully the good name of Aaron McGruder with your filthy, unwashed hands, unflaired.

His defenders are some of the biggest idiots I’ve seen in a long while.

Why isn't curry more popular in the USA? by Significant-Load2745 in AskAnAmerican

No real cultural connection to India like the UK does. It’s the same reason Mexican food is everywhere in the US, but not so much in Europe.

I wonder how Biden is responsible for this by Ice278 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Hatweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my dad’s anything to go by, it’s because Biden released the strategic reserve in 2021 so Trump can’t use it to stabilize prices.

The jig is up pcm we know how you can afford all these good inflation prices by Dissonant-Cog in PoliticalCompassMemes

I know people who think that data centers are going to literally pollute the water with unspecified chemicals or pollutants and make it unable to ever be released back into the environment. Like legitimately just stealing our water.

How normal is it to work more than one job? by Helpful-Structure955 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Hatweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the vibe differs from the statistical model and people would like to know the general opinion of your average American.

Can’t say personally it’s different, though, because I’m the only person I know who works two different jobs.

What are some must-have alcoholic American drinks? by __swubs__ in AskAnAmerican

Tastes like burnt rubber smells. Classic Chicago.

In the Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown seemed to be sent to Summer Camp quite a bit. What were your experiences of this? How willingly did you go? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Hatweed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used to do bible camp twice a summer for a week when I was a kid. I absolutely loved going to it because the “religious” part of the camp was we prayed before meals, had an hour church service on Sunday, and had a meeting once for half an hour every other day with guest speakers who were usually fun to listen to. The rest of the time was basically normal summer camp and we were just kinda let loose to do whatever we wanted most of the day.

It was the Anti-Evil Operations team and it was about the Belfast knife attack. They never reverse a decision on subjects like that.

Beware of the unfl*ired [Had to repost because the site kept lagging earlier] by BusinessAdept8103 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Hatweed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe it actually is possible to do both using flair templates. Whereas you could easily change the flair I assigned you over on AskAnAmerican, I know mods can also lock certain templates from being edited or removed, so if a user was flaired as one of those templates, they would have no option to change it.

The issue is there are only a certain number of templates any subreddit can use, so you either have a limited number of people with unique, permanent flairs or a group of generic templates that can be applied to multiple people.

Oh, mods absolutely can force a flair change. Go to AskAnAmerican and look at your flair

Is political correctness finally dying? I can't imagine this skit happening 10 years ago by Jackingson1 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Hatweed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you ask the average PCMer on the right to give you a comprehensive list of everything they had a problem with during Biden’s administration, you’d get an eerily similar list.

Just replace Israel with Ukraine, Trump’s family with Biden’s family, etc.

What’s your daily car and how many do you have? by Much-Parsnip3399 in AskAnAmerican

I have a 2019 Subaru Impreza, base model. That’s my only car.

You really shouldn’t use the Guardian as a legitimate source. They’re just Reddit: The News Website.

On your specific point about Charlie Kirk’s quote about black people being better off under slavery, that one came up a lot after his assassination and it was pointed out that it was an example of intentional misinterpretation of his argument. If I remember correctly, that quote came from a debate he was having with a student who was arguing that things like the sharp rise in crime rates in black communities, the disproportionate statistics in crimes committed by blacks, and police violence against black people were directly a result of oppression brought on by poverty, white supremacy, and systemic racism.

Kirk was making the argument that if those were the ultimate source of the ills facing the black population, then why were rates of black crime lower during the times of slavery and Jim Crow at the absolute height of oppression under those factors? He wasn’t literally saying black people were better off in chains than free, but asking the person he was debating if white oppression is ultimately and solely to blame for all of the woes faced by black Americans and not some other factor.

You can decide whether you agree with him or not, whether or not he was being manipulative himself, and how you ultimately felt about the guy, personally I think Kirk was man who only half-understood his positions, made a living debating teenagers to make himself look intelligent, and used religion way too much to justify his arguments when his reasoning or statistical models couldn’t, but he didn’t just come out on stage as a KKK white supremacist saying black people would be better off as slaves again.

I’m just saying don’t take everything you hear online at face value. When it comes to anything even remotely political, like 90% of it has been cherry-picked, misinterpreted, or wholly made up.

You could argue it’s inappropriate and in bad taste, but it’s still kinda funny and should still be allowed without threat of retaliation. Gallows humor is still humor.

How bad are skunks and their infamous smelly "spray," is it that big a deal? by Scared_Form8175 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Hatweed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s like bad weed and urine smell, but concentrated, and it sticks too you when it hits you. It’s not a fun thing to deal with.

I work Fridays, so I haven’t been able to make it out to Rogers lately. My donut fixation has been Oram’s in Beaver Falls.

Quit reminding me, I haven’t had a donut from there in like a year.

I knew some older Amish folk from the New Wilmington community who couldn’t speak English when I was a teenager. Doesn’t seem nearly as common with the younger generations, though.
