All food is organic. Unless you have a crop like a chicken (you don't), you really shouldn't put any inorganic materials in your body.

PapaStevesy ,

Yeah, it's corporate astrology

PapaStevesy ,

What is

PapaStevesy ,

Key people:
Jaime Harrison (Chair)
Chris Korge (Finance chair)
Jason Rae (Secretary)

Taken from Wikipedia because who actually knows that shit

PapaStevesy ,

Yes it is, because "boomers," by definition of the word's intended memetic use, are old yes, but more specifically they are old rich people in power. Using "boomer" as an insult doesn't hurt them. Meanwhile the actual boomers are literally trying to stigmatize and criminalize queerness. It's the same logic that makes it ok (encouraged even) to be racist against white people, it just doesn't affect us.

PapaStevesy ,

It doesn't count as self-awareness if he disassociates from the statement entirely, it's actually the opposite.

PapaStevesy ,

"Wow, that's messed up."

PapaStevesy ,

Nice, I can update my résumé!

PapaStevesy ,

Because they didn't write an article, they're just critiquing one.

PapaStevesy ,

Yes! He was so right about it all.

TIL scientists stepped on 175 rattlesnakes with a fake leg to see how many would bite. The study found that only 6 bit. The rest just froze or tried to wiggle away. Snakes just want to be left alone. ( www.npr.org )

PapaStevesy ,

A threat's a threat, I doubt snakes are aware of the fact that they even have venom, much less that it only works on certain living biological entities. But I'm no Snake Scientist, so I could obviously be totally wrong.

PapaStevesy ,

Who can never be sure?

PapaStevesy ,

Nah, remembering all the names is way harder. Not to mention distinguishing the individual bees...

PapaStevesy ,

Is a droped similar to a moped?

PapaStevesy ,

Yeah, we need the classic Drake meme with "She's a 10” on top and "She is 10” on bottom.

PapaStevesy ,

Wow, y'all cannot handle a little trolling huh. Are incels really taking this whole thing seriously? Just remember guys, it is personal, hahaha

PapaStevesy ,

Well yeah, it's an impossible hypothetical, it's not supposed to have a point. Actually, it did have a point, which it very easily accomplished: trigger incels. Just remember, there would be no reactionary media without media consumers being reactionary.

PapaStevesy ,

Memes don't have consistent structure, they can be photos, drawings, comics, animated cartoons, gifs, videos, plain text (comments, posts, articles), screenshots, etc. Anything can be a meme if people decide to alter and spread it. This definitely has potential, since you could replace the Ayn Rand quote and pic with that of whomever you wanted to say was a witch full of shit.

PapaStevesy ,

You mean he's well-trusted by Richard Dawkins?

PapaStevesy ,

He looks like Odo when he's been out of his bucket too long.

PapaStevesy ,

Nothing beats the baby kung-fu in Kung Pow! Enter the Fist though.

PapaStevesy ,

Good luck finding one that actually got paid.

PapaStevesy ,

Even if he did, the Democrats would probably give the pick to the Republicans again

PapaStevesy ,

2016, when Scalia died? The Republicans were like, "you can't fill a supreme court position in an election year" and the Democrats said "oh, okay" and let Trump get it. Then they let Trump fill another seat in an election year(!) and the Democrats just said, "oh, okay" again.

PapaStevesy ,

I don't know, I'm not a lifelong politician or law expert. But c'mon, they are! Do some fucking politicking! I find it beyond reason that there was nothing they could do, but also nothing they could do to stop Trump. As far as I care, Obama just gave it away for absolutely nothing. They didn't fight it because they thought Hilary would win and now we're just legally fucked for decades.

PapaStevesy ,

There really wasn't much that Democrats could do.

We'll never know if that's true, they didn't try anything.

PapaStevesy ,

Impossible this time.

The Denialist Liberal's Mantra, keep saying it and it might come true.

PapaStevesy ,

Nah, I'd call it a thriller.

PapaStevesy ,

Globo Gym wins in the original version of Dodgeball, but the test audiences hated it so they added the blindfolded stand-off. I'm mostly happy they changed it, but that original ending would have been so ballsy. Also would make the subtitle better, since most "true" underdogs do lose.

PapaStevesy ,

They realize they have to stay at their current job because of financial obligations and responsibilities, but they're not ready to leave the position, for one reason or another.

Yeah, because of the financial obligations and responsibilities. Do editors just not exist anymore?

PapaStevesy ,

Exactly, it's a shit-colored job market.

PapaStevesy ,

From the "memes" I've seen there, it's just a bunch of bootlicking gun nuts and military fanbois. They're the actual, literal tankies.

PapaStevesy ,

From my experience, "tanky" just means socialist/communist, which is an obviously idiotic, reductivist generalization. Based on actual reality, I don't know a group of people it makes more sense to call tankies than the NCD crowd.

PapaStevesy ,

Like I said, I know what you all use it to mean and the historical context of the term, but language evolves, I just applied it more logically and obviously. Mine doesn't need historical context, a tankie is someone who likes tanks, jet fighters, battleships, trebuchets, etc. You know, large-scale murder fanbois. Like, yeah the hexbear memes are cringey and largely illogical, but half of them are about lgbt+ stuff or just nothing at all. The NCD memes are literally all about war. The whole basis of socialism is striving towards a society where everyone has what they need, not striving towards a society where everyone has a home-defense AK.

PapaStevesy ,

I actually can, that's the beauty of language! It doesn't mean it has to change for you or anyone else, but every word is a symbol, and every symbol is subjective to the person using it. Obviously I know the historical context of the word, but that doesn't stop present day experiences from affecting those symbols in my mind. Unfortunately you can't control how I define or use a word, as much as you'd like to. If you love guns and war and organized mass murder, you're a tankie in my book.

PapaStevesy ,

I mean, I guess I thought if it was satire, it would be funny. It seems like you need very specific, detailed knowledge of military minutiae for any of the jokes to land, which would ostensibly come from having a passion for said minutiae.

PapaStevesy ,

And it not being "objectively true" doesn't mean I care! Look friend, I'm obviously not going to go around trying to use "my version" of words I've ironically redefined for a "snarky" Internet comment, no one else would even understand it. But if all you post about is missile guidance systems and gun manufacturers, I'll call you a tankie in my head and laugh. At least something about it will be funny then (seriously, I just haven't seen one funny/comprehendable meme in that community, so I just assume they're all nut jobs).

PapaStevesy ,

My point was to answer your question, which I did. What's your point here?

PapaStevesy ,

It can't be lost if it doesn't exist

PapaStevesy ,

Also, you can't lose what you don't have.

PapaStevesy ,

And in a world where you can collect energy before it arrives and then somehow lose it once it gets here. Literally no part of the statement makes sense.

PapaStevesy ,

Just buy their music! Those are the bands that actually need the support.

PapaStevesy ,

Yeah, if they're gonna do that, they need to censor trigger and trauma too. Better throw in "flashbacks*, PTSD, and OCD just to be safe.

PapaStevesy ,

Nah, she's wrong. The only way to "get over ourselves" in this situation is to stop caring about the present and future of our country and world.

PapaStevesy ,

South Park did it

PapaStevesy ,

"Stop caring and you won't care anymore"

Yeah, not helpful in any way.

PapaStevesy ,

No worries, looks like op changed the title at some point, so you may have just seen the old one.

PapaStevesy ,

Just so you know, this comment reads like you really like Jeffrey Epstein and you think he was set up...
