Are they playing with the dictators and tarriffs expansion?

I would honestly love to see trump play diplomacy and fail so hard and complain when he loses.

Which eyeball is yours?

There’s no such thing as gaslighting. You’re making it up because you're paranoid that everyone’s out to get you.

The dumb and dumber explosive diarrhea scene, but it’s the Olive Garden bathroom.

No, the difference isn’t just “high brow vs. low brow.” The difference is context, delivery, and intent. Monty Python’s joke is funny because it’s absurdist satire, made within a comedic setting where the exaggerated reaction is the punchline. Stupid bullshit on a sign in some dump isn’t a joke, it’s just an unoriginal, lazy attempt at humor relying on implied violence.

And nice try with the bad faith argument, but my problem isn’t “blue collar Americans” (cute deflection, by the way). My problem is with the idea that slapping a threat on a sign and calling it a joke is somehow on par with actual well executed comedy. If you can’t tell the difference, that’s on you.

Oh wow, comparing some rundown shithole “you’ll be shot” sign to Monty Python. totally the same thing. one’s a legendary, meticulously written comedy sketch, and the other is just some backwoods inbred clown thinking threats are peak humor. But sure, those fragile pieces of shit that open carry in an Applebees to feel manly, probably also love Monty python, what do I know.

Also satire is lost on this as this situation has probably actually happened in America plenty of times and it’s now reality.

As a fellow A’s fan I completely agree this analogy.

You clearly have zero understanding of what you are talking about and it shows. Again, DEI doesn’t mandate quotas or force hiring specific people based on race or other. You are either racist, ignorant, or stupid…or all three.

Taking shitpost literally

That take is just lazy and stupid. DEI is about making sure qualified people aren’t overlooked because of bias. Businesses only care about making money, not some imaginary diversity quota that tanked everything. Which is why successful businesses like Costco and Apple voted to keep it. DEI isn’t affirmative action. Try again, but do better this time.
