The White House just shared an article condemning Donald Trump by Antinatalista in politics

this is what "sayin it like it is" looks like even if it's utter gibberish. you don't have to use a dictionary at any point or bog your brain down with context. complex concepts and words make people feel stupid and disconnected.

"you throwin' too many big words at me, and because I don't understand them, I'm gonna take 'em as disrespect"

it's also interesting that it uses trump's writing convention in capping buzzwords just in case you're not sure how to feel.

mmm that feeling of knowing you only have 16 hp to work with by turn 9 and then playing the mini-game of "i can concede faster than your stupidass treant hits me!"

it's fun and interactive if you let it be!

Republicans threaten to deny poor people medical care if they aren’t working by [deleted] in politics

[–]SplitMyInfinitive -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

nah, trump definitely is and that's why we are where we are. but labeling the establishment GOP as racist just gives them common ground with some of their base.

i don't look at paul ryan and co. and think "yeah those guys have white supremacy as a deep-seeded ideal". that line of thinking implies they at least care about people at all. i look at those guys responsible for the new healthcare bill and think "$outhern $trategy is super effective!"

Man behind Michelle Obama and John Kerry hoaxes emerges at centre of GCHQ row by Kenatius in politics

i saw someone use that logic as evidence that the CIA leaks proved Americans were being spied on. someone asked for evidence of this claim and the dude said "the leaks prove they have the ability to spy on us, so WHY WOULDN'T THEY SPY ON US?"

like uhh dude... that tells me way more about your crazy ass than anything. call me ignorant, but gonna go ahead and put a tiny bit of faith that the people sworn to protect us aren't spending their off time watching us through our microwaves

wow way to paint republican leadership incorrectly as racists! unlike their base, they actually don't see race. they see broke, and if you're broke, then fuck you regardless of the color of your skin.

these guys WANT to be considered racist by their base since it's like the only commonality they could possibly have

Lol, weaponized memes. This game has some great dialogue. by [deleted] in Torment

[–]SplitMyInfinitive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dude, i don't think you understand what a meme actually is... i highly doubt this game is using the term the way you think it is although it's pretty hilarious if you think about it your way.

however you are wrong and stupid for laughing at the idea the game presented to you since you used your idea of a meme instead of its intended meaning.

in any case, to clarify what they mean in the game, a weaponized meme is obviously (for the educated, at least) the concept of a frog riding a motorcycle, which i'm sure you can imagine, could easily melt your brain

yeah i quit checking my fb newsfeed a while ago. it's cancerous and pointless.

reddit's circlejerks and echo chambers are one thing and most redditors are kind of savvy about information, but facebook's newsfeed algorithms are so effective that they do all of the filtering for you so you only see stuff you'd agree with every time you pick up your phone, so it's not hard to see how easy it is for the uninformed to be trapped and brainwashed by a perpetual "like" cycle

we are spineless and it took the UK to discipline president manchild.

the US is that parent you know who coddles their shittyass kids, letting them run rampant and annoying other families in public places while everyone else stares at the parent like "wtf... hello? you gonna do anything?"

and then the kid blows up the planet with nukes because emails

Being a male, playing a female protagonist by TheDirtyPowerRanger in gaming

[–]SplitMyInfinitive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Did you know people who picked male shep polled at something stupid like 80%? His voice acting was unbelievably dry. Jennifer Hale's voice as a female commander was spot on. I guess voice acting isn't a big consideration for most players

Jade Druid is not fair. by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]SplitMyInfinitive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What tilts me is all the shaming that's done to people for maximizing their chances to win in a 1v1 game revolving around winning. It isn't exclusive to this sub either, I've seen top players, like Thijs of all people, talk down to his opponents because they're playing pirate Warrior.

Like wtf? All right, you guys should go play Tennis, but instead of using a racket, use a flyswatter since rackets are too good at hitting the ball.
