Eye for an eye. Brutality seems to be the only language Israelis understand.

Posers. REAL Trump fans would have a friend shoot their ear with an AR from range first.

/s, obviously. We all know they don’t have friends.

Omg! Trumpfus is Splinter! Shredder came to him later …https://y.yarn.co/d9a957e8-eaac-4a29-9a5c-d9344416b5f0.mp4

But it didn’t work! Splinter rose to the occasion. In our instance he wants to ruin pretty much everyone’s lives sure, but he’s in splinters shoes now lol.

I came here to laugh at the ridicule of the The Onion’s story, only realize, to my horror, that it’s not The Onion…

Emulation for acceptance. Kids do this. It is pathetic in adults.

intensely_human ,

lol you don’t think adults do things to show solidarity?

Freefall ,

Yup they do, and I was saying this is not that…

    I wouldn’t pejoratively call a mute person dumb, a mobility device user lame, or an intellectually disabled person retarded

    but I will absolutely call cringe political fanatics lame, dumb retards

    also here’s some free fag-passes from your friendly internet dyke, cuz “fag” is a great fuckin multipurpose word

    die444die ,

    This is like saying “When I say ‘that’s gay’, I don’t mean gay as in homosexual, I mean gay as in stupid”.

    janus2 ,
    @janus2@lemmy.zip avatar

    I think that’s a legit way to use the word gay.

    originally it meant “happy.” words change. i don’t really care that some people in the 90s meant it in a homophobic way. it’s 2024 and being the slur police is fuckin gay

    can confirm I am both gay and [90s voice] gay

    I think it’s a bit different when the word has been totally abandoned for the previous use. I don’t know anyone who uses ‘lame’ or ‘dumb’ to refer to people with those disabilities. It’s practically an archaic meaning at this point. Gay is still most popular as a reference to sexuality.

    janus2 ,
    @janus2@lemmy.zip avatar

    How do you think they got to be archaic?

    absentbird ,
    @absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

    New words were found for the original meaning that were less pejorative, causing the slang to take over?

    Toastypickle ,

    Tom Segura nailed it.

    HawlSera ,

    I mean thank you, I remember I got banned from a group like 10 years ago because I said the forbidden F-word, they all knew I was pan and trans, but apparently my N-Word Pass expired?

    Can’t say the t-word either, I remember before it was a pejorative it was more like a cute nickname.

    janus2 ,
    @janus2@lemmy.zip avatar

    original meaning: “waaaah I got trapped into thinking a person of the sex I’m not attracted to is hot and now my genitalia is making me feel weird!”

    new & improved meaning: this person dressed not as their assigned-birth-sex is so hot they could literally trap me Looney Tunes style by being distractingly attractive 😩

    absentbird ,
    @absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

    I thought they meant the slur that’s also slang for a car’s transmission.

    janus2 ,
    @janus2@lemmy.zip avatar

    oh yeah! that’s way cutesier-sounding than trap now I think about it

    HawlSera ,

    Not the T-Word I meant, I think Trap is still an appropiate term for femboys in a purely sexual context. It’s only offensive when used as a term for transgirls… at least that’s what I’ve heard

    The word I was thinking of is six letter long

    thebestaquaman ,

    I may be happily ignorant, but what is the “f-word” and “t-word”?

    HawlSera ,

    Check slang terms for Transmission and British Cigarette

    if straight women got bleeped when they said “dyke” I’d have a way easier time dating 🫠

    just run up to a hot gal with a fake microphone like “TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”

    “[bleep]?”
    “correct thank you ma’am have a nice day”

    “dyke?”
    “correct! question 2 are you single and/or dating?”

    Brickhead92 ,

    “TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT’S THE WORD FOR ‘an embankment for holding back water’!?”

    “A levee??”
    “… touchè”

    SLVRDRGN ,

    I’m confused - does the microphone have gaydar screening and auto-bleep capabilities? I would describe that as much more than a fake microphone.

    janus2 ,
    @janus2@lemmy.zip avatar

    moreso this is a hypothetical alternate universe where every time a straight woman says the word “dyke” it gets bleeped, a la that South Park clip

    Brian Posehn has a great bit about it in his 25x2 special.

    Not a cult…

    intensely_human ,

    Cults are when you show solidarity

    absentbird ,
    @absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

    When has solidarity resembled anything like this? Wearing a fake bandage is a strange way to show it, it’s hyper focused on the leader as opposed to the movement. It reads more as devotion than solidarity.

    Nasan ,

    This is the kind of thing you do for the kid that’s feeling down about their injured appearance. For a supposed leader of the free world who brought the injury on themselves, it’s definitely more like kissing the ring

    intensely_human ,

    Wearing something symbolic is not a strange way to show solidarity at all. It’s one of the most common ways to show solidarity.

    absentbird ,
    @absentbird@lemm.ee avatar

    Solidarity with a movement or organization is different than solidarity with a person.

    Like everyone in your office might wear a company logo sometimes to show your affiliation, but if they all put on a bandaid everytime the boss got a paper cut it would seem a bit cultish.

    ShepherdPie ,

    I think they’re trying to milk the sympathy card for all it’s worth by wearing these bandages. Since Trump only got a cut on his ear and an innocent spectator was killed, the event isn’t playing as well as it did for Reagan back in the day during his reelection campaign. Wearing big, bulky bandages, they’re ‘peacocking’ to keep Trump’s extremely mild injury fresh in everyone’s mind.

    Passerby6497 ,

    Yeah, I bet they were wearing diapers in solidarity too 🙄
