It's never been more true.

There are only two sexualities, Straight and Woke.
There are only two ethnicities, White and Woke.
There are only two genders, Male and Woke.

It would almost be amusing how baby-brained these chuds' understanding of the world is were it not for the massive amount of harm they cause. Like how every accusation is a confession so it takes very little thought to work out what they think from what they accuse others of.

"They just say everything they don't like is Hitler." = Everything I don't like is Woke.
"Trans people are going to attack cis women in the restroom." = That's what I'd do with unrestricted access to the women's restroom.
And on, and on, and on...

The actual type of play on words is called paraprosdokian. Where the in this case punchline is surprising in a way that makes you reinterpret the setup.

In this case "I wanna be supportive but," is kind of priming the reader to expect they're gonna say some transphobic shit then you read "fucking Mildred?" and those expectations are subverted by the actual point being essentially "Why you taking names from 2000's obituaries?"

To my knowledge there's not like a widespread name for this as like a comedic genre because it's just one of the basic ways you can structure a joke. I've seen some comics call it a swerve or an anti-climax but nothing widespread.

Usually clients have some option to do it but the steps might be different based on what client you're using.

Right now I'm on Voyager for example and if let's say I wanted to block your instance I could click your profile and click the options. One of the options on that screen is "View Instance" and from there I have the option to block the instance.

There's also post filters but I know a lot less about setting those up. But iirc one of the things you can filter posts by is the instance the post comes from.

So you're saying we must work it harder in order to make it better. Do it faster to make them stronger?

Can we... Can we feed them to the Bears instead?

~~I'm sorry I'll see myself out xD~~

Oh yes, tie their ability to stay in the country to them staying in a marriage to someone who actively despises their existence...

Oh wait, that's the "Greatness" a lot of these chuds want to bring back. The days before the country was "ruined" by "No-Fault Divorce" when women couldn't have their own bank accounts and were at the mercy of their husbands/fathers... Right.

Nothing. The "emergency order" is entirely so he doesn't have to go through Congress to do it.

Yes that's one of the actual pictures from the indictment they brought against him. He apparently had like 300 different documents of varying levels of classified status. There's a couple more iirc of different places like a bedroom and a ballroom stage too. Basically it seems like he had his goons just hide anything he could get his hands on in random boxes of what were supposed to be just irrelevant personal effects

He was only indicted specifically for like 30 of them but my understanding is they specifically chose ones they were willing to have potentially entirely exposed.

Oh my God that comment about being bullied by him for being feminine. I felt that in my fucking soul. I got that shit so much from my father when I was younger. About the stupidest shit too.

I had this baby doll that I apparently loved when I was little. I was too young to remember having it, but when my brother was a baby apparently I'd follow my mom around with it and while she took care of my brother if she was doing something that I couldn't help with I'd take care of my baby doll.

He hated this fucking doll with a passion. Didn't want me to have it because he was convinced I'd grow up to be gay if I had it. Only the word he used was worse. He ended up jumping at the chance to give the doll away to a family they were acquainted with lost their house in a fire and their daughter had no toys left because he could get away with it then. But his hate for this fucking doll was crazy. Like it was impossible for me to become a parent one day and gasp take care of my own child.

I'm so oblivious that I wouldn't even get to the step of overanalyzing the lyrics. I would have just thought "Oh they think I'd like this song? Let's check it out," and that's it.

I'm so oblivious that multiple times my partner tried to initiate sex by trying to make out and get handsy with me and I completely missed it. If it's not explicit "You. Me. Bed. Now," level direct then like 95% of the time I miss it.

One day my partner got so frustrated with my obliviousness that she asked me flat out if I was asexual or something. I had no idea what that was but turns out yes, yes I am.

Funniest thing to me though. When it's directed at me, then I'm totally oblivious. But if my partner sees an attractive woman out and about and starts visibly thirsting even a little I can tell immediately.

Way too many of these chucklefucks just want to LARP as pure and radical revolutionaries. My wife and I are disabled and live on a fixed income of her disability payments and the SNAP program. If this "revolution" they want so bad does come, then we're among the most likely to just fucking starve in the disruption. I'm also one of the people the GOP declared they want to "Eradicate from Public Life" with Project 2025.

Now, I'm not much of a Genocide Enjoyer. I think it's one of the worst things you can do in fact. But I also don't take too kindly to being effectively told that I specifically should just die because these wannabe revolutionaries refuse to entertain a world where we both vote for Biden to keep Trump from destroying democracy more than the GOP already has (harm reduction), AND engage in direct action to push Biden away from blindly supporting Israel.

Yes, he stopped the train strike. He then worked with the rail unions for weeks negotiating with the bosses and now the rail workers have the sick days that was one of the big drivers of them going on strike for. Here's the statement straight from the IBEW.

They literally thank Biden's administration directly for applying pressure in the weeks after blocking the strike that eventually led to the union getting what it was asking for. I'm no big fan of Biden's, but trying to paint him as anti labor especially using him blocking the rail strike is just patently untrue. With everything that's been happening around Biden's NLRB under Lina Khan he is easily the most pro worker president we've had in decades.
