They need to stop hitting themselves in the face with the ugly stick. Holy shit.
Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It’s like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn’t a product of breeding.
Brian Posehn called it “Hot Girl Down Syndrome” several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it’s so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.
My boy posehn got Nickelback all but removed from the airwaves.
I missed this! Spill the tea if you got links.
You haven’t heard about the origin of the Nickelback reveal? Basically Brian posehn made one short little bit. And he had been on stuff before but want (and still isn’t) exactly famous. But that one bit went viral back in the day and people were drawn back, analyzed it and realized collectively that he was right and they sucked.
Is it just me or does anyone else have to fight the urge to be horribly misogynistic to these Trump worshippers? I always fall back to my gender-neutral profanity (such as “Trump’s shit-guzzler”) but I just feel a deep rooted desire to be as maximally offensive to and about MAGA cultists and enablers as humanly possible. I know it’s lazy but I mean if anyone deserves to be insulted in the most extreme way possible it’s these creatures.
Don’t let them bring you down to their level. There’s so many fun gender neutral insults.

No, I don’t actually feel a need to resort to something I find immoral to hurt others, this is horrible of you to say
But I’ve known that the misogyny is very prevalent on Lemmy, you all never needed the excuse of “MAGA” to be sexist in the first place.
Like what excuse would it take for you to start espousing feminist rhetoric? Have you EVER done so? Why wouldn’t you just say feminist things to them, since that would literally be combating their viewpoints?
Really it just seems like you’re kink roleplaying with them without any awareness.
Interesting how these types of people seem to have a set of phrases with their own fixed meanings that don’t necessarily correspond to the literal meanings of the words that make them up. “Can’t trust the government” in this context really means “can’t trust liberals/progressives”. You can see that in her response if you watch the video. She’s not stumped when the reporter points out the apparent contradiction. She expect everyone to make the same mental substitution, under which there is no contradiction.
Another good example is a 5 minute youtube video about homelessness from a fake university with an orange logo. They cite an example of a bridge between Los Angeles and Culver City that has a major homeless encampment on one side, but not the other, due to different laws in the two cities. To quote directly:
the Los Angeles side is full of tents and the Culver City side is empty. Why? Because the two cities have different public policies. Los Angeles has effectively decriminalized public camping and drug consumption while Culver City enforces the law.
If Los Angeles has no law against homelessness, then what law is it supposedly failing to enforce? This seems like a contradiction, until you realize that “Culver City enforces the law” has nothing to do with actual laws, but with the “law” of the moral framework that the authors are trying to propagandize.
if LA has no law
They didn’t claim their was no law, they said they decriminalized it. Which means it’s still illegal but unenforced by criminal charges, just like weed is decriminalized in many states but still federally illegal.
I don’t disagree with you that people put out bullshit but… Can we not put out bullshit to prove it?
ETA: Italics
You’re largely correct, “decriminalized” doesn’t mean it’s legal, but I just wanted to point out that it doesn’t necessarily mean unenforced. Just that it’s no longer a criminal charge. Something can be decriminalized and still be in violation of the law and enforced with fines or other deterrents, e.g. traffic violations. You’re not a criminal for speeding, it’s still illegal and enforced.
Thank you for that correction!
