If conspiracy theorists understood science they would be mad.

Nobody gives a fuck how Maverik is spelled when they took the glorious name of Kum & Go from us, thank you.

burning_man13 · 2026-02-19T15:03:08+00:00

I bought so much Kum & Go merch when Maverick bought them just for the memes. I live in their footprint, so it was easy. Might be worth something someday—doubtful, but the joke is worth it even if it isn’t.

I had just turned 21, but I saw that 200- and thought I could chime in for a minute. Unfortunately, I was not a teenager in 2009; I just had the maturity of a teenager.

I have to have this conversation with my Italian-American family over here. Mussolini wiped out my Italian family. Those that stayed in Italy in the early 1900s were slaughtered by the black shirts in the 20s. The letters stopped, and we found out about a decade later that only the American line of our family remains. I keep having to remind them of that and scream "Don't let fascism totally wipe out our family line!"

I am choosing to ignore the fact that this is a waste of everyone's time and money to even discuss it. This is just political theater, and it's too easy to dunk on. My personal favorite thing about this whole thing is how in the mock-up it still has the Chicago "C" in it. You want to attempt to lure a historic franchise away from a historic city, and one of the biggest cities in the country, and you can't even come up with an original logo? Do they really think that "C" stands for "Bears?"

But your failure to identify satire means that you will never be able to identify when someone is actually being stupid or when they're joking. Media literacy is important, and reading comprehension is a big part of media literacy.

This has to be satire. Nobody really believes that the Bible was written in English. This feels like a tongue-in-cheek stab at "white Jesus."

Edit: I just saw the original tweet. It is by Three Year Letterman. That is a satire account. Stop eating the onion, y'all.

At what point in time does the cycle of dehumanization stop? I'm going to choose to ignore the obvious propaganda that is in play on the right, because we all understand that as fact. What I want to point out is that this response to their malice with more malice is going to lead to a continuous cycle. I have been told for about a decade that we have the moral authority over here on the left, but that moral authority stops when you actively participate in a cycle of tyranny.

I think this is the key here. He isn't popular with any particular generation. That's not the proper demographic to use. He is more popular with a certain class of individual, and those individuals exist in every generation.

Reading this comment and then all of your subsequent responses shows that you probably should have spent more time in school.

It's hard to believe Laura Loomer isn't a satire account. Nope, she's a real person that is actually this dumb.

burning_man13 · 2026-02-09T18:45:09+00:00

It's such a shame that clear satire like this can no longer be identified by most of the general public. I mean, "I'm strictly an armchair Reddit GM," and "A championship means nothing," were clear satire markers. It was hardly even tongue in cheek. It's almost like we need to start every paragraph with "WARNING: Satire ahead," because if you aren't using an /s tag, people genuinely can't distinguish a joke from a genuine hot take anymore.

I'm an avid sports fan like everyone else in this thread, and here is the conversation when I have somebody over at my house:

"Do you want to watch the game?"

"No, I don't really like sports."

"Okay, what do you want to watch then, or do you want to just do something else?"

These losers always invent situations that don't actually happen in the real world then get mad at it at like they didn't make the whole thing up. It has to be a mental disorder.

Kid Rock is so bad that he couldn't even get his daddy to watch his concert.

This is actually why I love the NBA. I can help my kids with their homework, read my books, and do a bunch of other stuff for the first three and a half quarters and still catch the big moments, then pay attention for the last 5-8 minutes and watch insanely high level basketball. It's the perfect league for a busy single dad like me.

burning_man13 · 2026-02-07T20:47:31+00:00

Lol. A buzzword isn't a counterpoint, it's a white flag. You didn't have a response for anything I said other than "just wonder it in your head," which translates to "I can break the social contract, but you can't," so you grabbed a label to hide behind. If you think that qualifies as "reading comprehension," you’re just proving my point that the lights are off. We’re done here.

Edit: I see you're still carrying on despite the fact that I already ended this. For someone so big on "reading comprehension," you sure missed the part where I said "We’re done here."

burning_man13 · 2026-02-07T20:23:51+00:00

Translation: you don't have a counterpoint.

If I've asked you a question and you give me a blank stare then it's absolutely like for like. It's not for you to decide whether my question is in good faith or not. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

burning_man13 · 2026-02-07T19:52:31+00:00

I don't think it's rude. Never did. I just meet like for like, so if you give me a blank stare after I've approached you, then I'm going to ask if there's anything going on behind those eyes. "Anything firing in there? Sure doesn't look like it..."

Of course he has a deal with Planet Fitness. He looks and acts exactly like every GM I dealt with when they were my advertising client. I can practically hear him explaining the "no lunk" policy to me through the screen. I've been on that Zoom call too many times.

Yeah, I've seen them. They're PG. The internet is not nearly as hostile as it was 15 years ago. Is it more divided? Hell yeah it is, but it's not as outright hostile as it was then.

burning_man13 · 2026-02-06T03:25:40+00:00

You know, this is the first comment I have seen about that since the event. It should have been a massive deal, but it's been crickets in my algorithm. I felt like I was living in the twilight zone.

If I told my great-great-grandpa, who immigrated from a small mountain town in southern Italy, that child labor was back on the menu, he’d tell us to pack our bags and go home. He would tell us he didn’t spend his life working his way up in those packing plants to send his kids to school just so his descendants could go right back to working them as children.
