Me, the last four months: For fucks sake people, listen to science! These people are experts and you’re some internet dipshit. Read more

“We don’t need face masks...oh wait, yes we do.” Read more

Counterpoint. Trump is the very worst shit stain on modern humanity... and the title lead many to believe that that failed abortion had finally been shut up on twitter. Sigh. There’s always tomorrow.

Well shit, I want to be an “influencer” now. Read more

The entirety of human history has proven that to not even be remotely true. I don’t even think it’s true in the animal kingdom. Read more

Wanting YOUR ORGANIZATION to succeed is not the same as wanting “other people” to succeed. The idea that successful people’s success has anything to do with whether or not they want to see random strangers succeed, as you tried to argue, is absurd on it’s face and runs counter to literally all of human history.

Do we have to flip through a slide show to see other pictures of it?

I think it finally happened, i think i hate streaming/pro gamer culture.

You are still free to use it in reasonable situations like when scuba diving. No one can co-opt that from you.

There’s nothing logical about your original post. Just an arbitrary definition of success. The poor grammar was just the icing on your straw man cake.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve read all day. Congratulations. You built a straw man there and I’m not even sure you won that battle Read more

Your straw man burn will be much more successful when you go back and learn the difference between “your” and “you’re”.

I mean, yeah, they’re secretly getting away with something racist, I guess? But my guess is the kind of person who’s doing this is probably a known asshole anyway. So a hand signal that no one is recognizing as douchebaggery isn’t really an issue for most people. Like the person suspected of actually doing it to… Read more

Should have left it, but added an audio clip of “Black Lives Matter” every time it’s used.

Yeah, I mean, I think generally context will clue people in anyway. But in something like Call of Duty, 13-year-old edgelords don’t need another tool to be shitheads.

I think even just around most people, people would gauge the situation and realize that likely there’s nothing racist about it if you use the symbol.

Ugh. I hate how those incelled idiots claimed the sign. I still sometimes start to do an “OK” by habit, then remember how can be perceived, and clumsily try to make it look like I was just doing an elaborate thumbs up.

Stop co-opting our cool stuff, assholes. This is NOT OK! :P

In Canada, we’re a little slow, eh. I still use the “okay” gesture. I can’t help it. I’m the “it’s all good” guy. 

So, sorry to possibly burst the bubble here, but for many years this gesture has meant “taking it up the asshole” in Brazil. This usage has actually disappeared a little by now (we’re mostly using the international middle finger now), but it might’ve been just that, replacing a generally offensive gesture instead of a… Read more

It’s unfortunate that shit heads have co-opted a simple and common thing.
