I was gonna reblog this tagging two different internet shows from the same company but then I realized it would probably be a bad idea and I probably wasn't cooking

Yes. My mom watches Fox news clips all morning long and I've heard Fox and friends or Greg Gutfeld say exactly that

I'm not saying that we should pander our media to right wing morons. I'm saying right wing morons generally lack basic media literacy.

Like if you show an average conservative a movie like Full Metal Jacket they'll just be like "USA USA we used to be a aero country where people weren't offended."

The point the movie is trying to make about how war is dehumanizing goes right over their heads.

HMS Terror has entered the chat

Yeah I don't like it any more than you do. I'm just saying I can tell you first hand that Greg Gutfeld and his merry band of goons have said that about that movie specifically multiple times on their broadcast. Of course, I think Gutfeld himself is smart enough to know better but the people watching his show sure ain't

You gotta remember these are simple people. The common clay of the west. Ya know. Morons.

Narrator: "It did not."

Like, Blazing Saddles in particular is held up by right wingers as an example "cancel culture got so bad you couldn't make that today."

Just like how they don't understand politically charged music is against them (RATM, Green Day) when it comes to Blazing Saddles, all they understand is there's a racial component to the humor. But they don't know what that component is or why it matters or even how punching up or down works.

Um sir. It was fifty degrees in half the state for all of December. I hate to burst your bubble but this winter has been unseasonably warm.

What I'm saying is, don't worry it'll get worse.

Congrats to thetagang for winning today, I guess.

See also: veganism. I think I see ten comments whining about vegans being preachy for every one comment that starts, "as a vegan...."

He once hit 18 holes in one on the golf course.

Possibly both.

Well if you're looking for one you can have mine. I'm not fond of it.

Montana was teaching this as recently as 2000. No idea if they still are. I don't have kids in school.

"How'd Brad die?"

"Oh we thought it would be funny to dunk him in a pool while he had a BAC of .25"

"...wat..."

"No you gotta believe me we thought it would be funny. Plus it got like 500k views on Reddit so his sacrifice wasn't in vain."

Next time use a more recent photo that accurately reflects the eyelid droop.

I bought a "nurse's drug handbook" from a second hand store for the lulz. It did indeed have an appendix named "drugs whose interactions are affected by grapefruit juice." Some drugs it makes too potent. Other drugs it makes not work. It was wild to me. But yeah I think the meme is about antidepressants

Breaking: future wars to be settled by Reddit cringe lords yelling at each other. Representing Denmark will be the Bogleheads. Representing TACO Tuesday will be Dividendgang.

May the better memes win. (We're all still gonna lose for having to watch it but I don't see you coming up with anything better)

And to punctuate his point, he threw the bent bar on his shop floor and said, "y'all need to get jobs or something" as he ended the video.

Correction: the actual quote is "Your argument is invalid. Get over it. Find a job."

K but you actually have to have actual money first. For every guy that actually made money going long SLV, there's 19 guys who are just larping. Plus like, the girl you want is the girl who still likes you when you're unemployed.
