I will receive a lot of downvotes, but I remember the time when words were used to inspire thoughts that inspire emotions. Today they go straight to emotions
Why do republicans insist on waking up from sleep every morning?
Waking up is super woke.
Real TRUE PATRIOTS go to sleep once, and stay that way forever, to own the libz.
New Mitch McConnell spin just dropped
“Everything I don’t like I’ll label Woke, DEI, Communist, Socialist, Antifa or Liberal. They are too dumb to know they are being played”
I’d even add “Green” in there. And “Rigged”.
Boot-edge-edge
…What the fuck is this? An insulting name for Buttigieg? Stupid.
A bad one at that. Come on Booty-judge is right there.
That’s how Pete’s 2016 campaign presented it phonetically when people were still unsure how to pronounce his name. Not much of an insult but nobody has ever accused this administration of being clever.
Thank you for figuring it out, I was stumped.
These people need to be closed in with a running engine into a small room…
Car brain <—> Fascism
Proving that the fossil fuel hordes are the ones dividing people.
By far, most cyclists I see are white men. Are white men the reason DEI is a problem?
imagine being proud to be such a bigoted piece off shit. Holy shit.
“I just stole 1.7 billion dollars!”
That’s all I’m hearing
How are we still doing climate change denial in $current_weather?
Oh come on, snake_casing when you could have made it look like an
$ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE?The casing is not important here because, no matter how you write it the “current weather” always is an ENVIRONMENT variable ;)
People don’t want you to know this but you can make env vars lowercase now.
Blasphemy!
Burn the infidel!
Not in my style guide you fucking can’t
It has been unseasonably cool where I live. We’re talking low 80’s, 26-ish celcius.
Weather is very hard to conceptualize for us monkeys. It’s very easy for someone who never needs to stay in one place to have a completely incorrect perception of what weather or climate actually is. People who do stay in one place seem to struggle with it, that should tell you what you need to know.
It has been unseasonably cool where I live.
Ok, but I’m assuming you’re not a total idiot who extrapolates from local weather?
No, but my Trump voting office trog sure does. Never misses a chance to point out oddly cool weather, as if it somehow means climate change is not real.
Is it also very hard for monkeys to look at graphs? They don’t seem to have trouble with it when it’s in service of screwing us out of money
When you’re asking them to look at graphs or the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over — yes, yes it is very hard.
I’m not justifying or excusing their behavior. I’m just explaining it.
the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over
People are not becoming obscenely wealthy from hating on bike lanes. They’re just brainwashed morons.
People are absolutely becoming wealthy off of climate change denial, driving hate towards bike lanes is absolutely a part of that.
Any time you see a politician ranting about DEI, replace it in your mind with the n-word. That’s what they’re really saying. No, it doesn’t matter that people of any race can use it; Republicans have spent the past 6 decades cementing the idea of public projects and vilified racial minorities being inherently linked.
Every time you see the term “DEI” or “woke” or whatever, just imagine it’s some loser fucking dude from the mid 2000s in a sweat stained Tapout t-shirt and substitute the terms with “gay and retarded” and it’ll make just as much sense, if not more. That’s ultimately the essence of those terms anyways. The only difference is that with the term “DEI” they get to posture as a serious person with an actual point that deserves to be taken seriously. Bike lanes are gay. Caring about the environment is gay. Anti-hazing policy in the military is retarded. Etc. Etc.
Its like all the stupid “Lets Go Brandon” nonsense because they are all too much of a bunch of pussies to just say “Fuck Joe Biden.”
Guess what, Fuck Trump.
See, its easy, I don’t need some clever bull shit because I am not some softy ass coward.
Please do not fuck trump. There are not enough antibiotics.
Outrage tourist grifter “Ranting for Vengeance” is trying his best to bring back “gay and retarded”.
Tf is Boot-edge-edge? I can’t keep up with idiot name calling conventions.
Buttigieg.
It took me way too long to figure that out.
Yeah but like, what’s the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.
“Boot edge edge” is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.
Like preschool level shit.
Probably couldn’t spell it correctly, and copes by pretending he’s owning a lib.
Thank you for that. I’m appreciably dumber now.
and Bootyjudge was right there
This is not a demographic known for its witty rhetoric.
It’s what some McKinsey guy, who will sadly be president some day, thought (so profoundly prematurely and presumptuously) that we stupid rubes could use, and more importantly, would actually give a shit to use, suddenly, to talk about this McKinsey guy that we all love.
Because, you know, all we know are words like boot and edge. We have never even heard if IPA or a dictionary or anything more than one-syllable words.
You just know this douchebag workshopped the shit out of his own name’s ‘idiot-proof’ pronunciation for like, 400 hours per year of his like 70,000 hrs + overtime + over-overtime per year at McManageTheWorld Inc (And also totally ruin it, see the book When McKinsey Comes to Town)

Yeah McKinsey is shit.
But wtf is this shit. Are you ok, dude? You think he workshopped his last name? And what he decided on was “Buttigieg”? What?
No, i was joking, poorly I admit, that he workshopped the pronunciation, so boot-edge-edge, not Buttigieg, was what was ‘workshopped’ and “what he decided on”, to answer your question…
because these are the world’s most cynical people at McKinsey, who workshop everything and make the whole world ‘plastic’ and fake and “optimized” and “streamlined” and so on.
It’s just, who does that? It reeks of a politician being “annointed” overnight rather than emerging on the stage naturally, where word of mouth would easily make it a non issue. If you have to tell everyone, again and again, how to pronounce your name, maybe you just don’t have the juice or whatever.
I don’t think, Idk, Kucinich, for example, went all over telling everyone constantly “it’s Coo-sin-itch!” It’s coo-sin-itch!”
Or Mike Krzyzewski, “hey my name is pronounced shi-zeff-ski! Shi-zeff-ski!”
Buttigieg is probably just used to like, showing up one day at supermarket chain HQs or whatever with his “deck” of slides, meeting people for the first time ever right before recommending cutting 40% of all jobs there, and listing all his Ivy League credentials and how to pronounce his name on the previous slide. Nobody knew how to pronounce his name because yes it’s unusual but also because he’s parachuted in and immediately automatically “matters”
Yes, I have a big problem with this guy. 😅
