I wonder what brand of fucking big television the dalai lama has. 🤔

[–] Croquette@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It took me 10 seconds to realize this was a joke, and another 10 to get the joke.

I don't like this timeline

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 54 minutes ago

It took me no seconds to get the joke, but 10 seconds to realize that it was a joke for real.

A rare funny from them.

ahhh, the "conservative who identifies as a comedian mk8 the same joke 50 times" version of the onion?

why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page

Memes are memes, why are you subscribed to a meme page if you don't like memes

Technically it’s a post of guy putting a Babylon Bee headline on someone else’s page, now screen shot to yours.

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Because they cannot/don't want to read. Or they just don't care

Right-wing version of The Onion.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wait.... So their version of a joke is to.... Make a joke at their own expense because of how shitty Vance is?

They are more traditional right, not MAGA right. They make fun of the Republican party all the time.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh? Glorious glorious juicy infighting.

The pot: No, YOU'RE black!

The other pot: No, you're black.

Also with a Christian slant if I recall correctly

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The Onion but by Christian conservatives.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago

They were pretty funny when they got started. They would openly roast Joel Osteen and all the Prosperity Gospel crap. Then they decided to wade into politics. And misogyny. So much misogyny.

Have people forgot already the "suck my tongue" pedo shit this guy pulled out?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, I definitely remember when the mainstream media jumped at the chance to smear one of the most peaceful spiritual figures alive, context be damned. They took a culturally unfamiliar moment and ran it through a Western lens to manufacture outrage. And look, they're still collecting dividends on it!

He asked a child to suck his tongue, there's no context the guy is a pedo

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago

there's no context the guy is a pedo

Wtf do you think context is?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That does sound like something the Dalai Lama would say.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It is a cultural difference slightly taken out of context. Albeit it is incredibly jarring for Americans and other European countries. He did issue an apology for it.

Go on ...

This is a perfectly normal thing in Tibetan culture?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Sort of. According to residents who defended him they said it is a normal joke that elderly people to do children in Tibet.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Smart move, JD would've sucked that old man's tongue right out of his head.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I still haven't been able to wrap my head around that event. It makes me want to vomit.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In light of the Dalai's earlier pronouncement that his successor would be female, the administration has promised him immortality.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

But... isn't the gist that his successor is himself?

🏳️‍⚧️

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

The gist is that his successor isn't whoever the Chinese Communist Party says it is (either directly or by trotting our that kid they kidnapped decades ago who hasn't been seen since).

Nirvana does not care for the mortal body limitations. Enlightenment is universal.

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tell that to Buddhists, especially Tibetan Buddhists which explicitly discriminate against women and claim they will never reach enlightenment.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Exactly why they themselves haven't reached enlightenment. Too concerned with being petty of others instead of untangling the self.

By the way why the pope even accepted (he or someone of his entourage) to meet with JD Vance?

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago

Dalai is finding himself some Necrotic damage resist gear first.
