What if I’m not wearing pants?

Mostly due to lacking the stamina to run towards each other.

TIL…

I shy away from defining myself on the left/right axis, as this depends a lot on where you are and what is defined as the center. But let’s just say I’d love to hang out with Bernie.

And here the rest of us are trying to be as eloquent and articulate as possible, and yet you said it better than any of us ever could.

What does “pinko” mean in this context? (Or any context, for that matter… can’t recall having heard that term before)

True. I just tried to give a short primer. I am indeed part of (to an extent) the “America bad”-camp, but it doesn’t make me sverve so hard I crash into a ditch on the opposite side.

Ah, I wasn’t aware of said defederation. Good on Blåhaj

In case you’re asking out of good faith curiosity:

Tankie is a pejorative (and rightfully so) term for a particular brand of communist/socialist. It’s worth noting that I have nothing against communists or communism in general (even though I don’t agree with it as a political system). A tankie is someone whose standpoint is that communism can do no wrong; anything that went wrong in USSR and China is CIA’s fault, and the Czechs, Hungarians, and Tibetans had it coming.

Oh, and to any tankies who are reading this and are tempted to engage in sealioning, don’t bother - I don’t care and probably won’t respond. Plus there’s a pretty good chance you’re already on my block list. Call me fascist if you will (I’vebeen called worse things), but at least tell me a definition of fascism that doesn’t also encompass todays China and Russia

Basically, it’s a label applied to people of a communist persuasion who have given up on any form of critical thinking, and just defaults to “America bad, therefore anything opposing it must be good”. Yes, America bad indeed. But that doesn’t automatically Pol Pot, Kim Young Un, and Stalin are good.

Also, don’t be surprised if this comment is downvoted to oblivion after someone links it on hexbear or lemmygrad. It’s quite telling that comments like this are usually attacked based on syntax rather than substance, while refusing to actually explain what happened at Tianmen Square or during the Holodomor, without citing russian or Chinese propaganda.

Also, the name is a reference to communist countries sending tanks against civilians, RE: Hungary 1956, Prague 1968, and Tianmen Square 1989

But drugs are expensive!

Should make it wide enough to anex Texas simply for the look of government buildings flying both the Chilean AND the texan flag.

Normally my big pet peeve is people referring to this as DB9 when it’s actually a DE9… but in the context of the meme, I think it’s important not to impose any identities on the connector.

/me slaps Maven around a bit with a large trout

Never understood why mIRC had a builtin for that.

Wait, you don’t have vampire porn?

Then how can you use it while out for a jog?

I’ve been on ships in the Arctic ocean mid winter. Best sleep I ever had.

As a foreigner, based on my road trip from Houston to Port Fourchon in Louisiana, I would have thunk those two percentages would’ve been substantially higher. Especially Louisiana.
