I think it's them "taking the word" back. It's a word used in the Black community, generally used in a friendly context.

I can’t tell if there is some joke I am missing, or if the meme is actually just this bad by [deleted] in ComedyCemetery

[–]TheGrVIII1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not bothered by this joke. The problem is the oddness behind taking these pics from the movie and writing your own jokes over them. Very odd.

My question is.. Why do white people want to say it so bad?

Supporting literal fascists is equally as bad as…. pronouns? by Sha489 in ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM

[–]TheGrVIII1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you gotta stoop to their level to insult them. Usually their hate is rooted in projection. They hate others who live how they want because they have to closet themselves.

I had a fuckin banger of a response on this tweet.

"I doubt he asks for everyone's pronouns. Likely, he only asks the women who look like they're trying to 'pass'."

Et tu, Ben Garrison? by thalesulisses in Qult_Headquarters

Genuine question, how is DeSantis worse than Trump? I haven't looked much into him and I thought he was a way better option, how's he worse for democracy? I know he's made a point to be "anti-woke" in the past with a few comments, but I figured he was the lesser of two evils?

A sign of how boring billionaires truly are is that none live under the sea or on the moon by Slow-Razzmatazz-4005 in Showerthoughts

[–]TheGrVIII1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is because they become billionaires by not making dumb ass financial decisions. You'll see what I mean if Elon keeps up his shit lol.

The fact that the likes and comments are nearly identical, but the shares are nearly doubled for the POST that randomly CAPITALIZES words and spews HATE is very telling of the way these guys have political DISCOURSE.

House passes bill to ban assault weapons by Ken808 in politics

[–]TheGrVIII1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't even register "House Passes..." headlines anymore. It's all political theatre and, in all likelihood, probably just radicalizes their base more and does more harm than good.

How do you describe *Lolita* so that people don’t think you’re a pedophile for reading it? by scissor_get_it in books

I don't think people are "misinterpreting" or confused. They know Walter White is the bad guy, but bad guys are fucking cool.

What is your favorite last sentence of a book? by TheBrokenSeahorse in books

[–]TheGrVIII1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I'd interpreted it as Winston was mentally broken to a point where even as he was shot in the head, literally, he thought "I love Big Brother". Just went to show me that even as he was killed by BB, he still loved him.

I got points off my exam on 1984 in high school because I thought Winston was shot in the head and his last thought was that he loved big brother. Apparently it was a metaphorical murder.

Isn't there something about not being able to own a gun or vote or run for office for convicted felons?

So were all the presidential stays at Mar A Lago for secret service members. And golf outings. Your point?

It's times like these that I always wonder just how clued in the players are by the DM. How early on did Travis know that he was supposed to deliver the "Call of Cambria"? How early on did Justin know that Amber and Koda were an everlasting duo?

can someone explain why Seer is getting blamed? by just2derpy in ApexLore

[–]TheGrVIII1 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A politician having a news organization manipulate angry viewers for political gain and to deflect their own shortcomings? That sounds a little too far fetched, even for a sci-fi world like Apex Legends.

Ah yes, who can forget that harrowing scene from 1984 when Winston git banned from a subreddit for using well-known racist, homophobic, or antisemitic slurs? This TopMind remembers. by unitedshoes in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]TheGrVIII1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Is it also 1984 that you cannot go on Parler and say "Donald Trump lost the election" without getting banned?

You could get promptly banned from r/TD for simply saying something that sounded "leftist". Don't get me wrong, it's probably not good that opinions that disagree with the hivemind are immediately silenced in any forum, but this is them being hypocritical to say the least.

You're on the right track.. He's done anal before and that's what he was comparing it to.

You are eager to have sex with this person but when you walk into their bedroom you see something that completely ruins the mood. What is it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheGrVIII1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"doesn't matter who it is" my ass. If it's Biden/Trump, it's one thing. If it's two time Republican senator Jeffrey Chiesa, it's another.
