Sometimes I think I’m a chill guy. Then I hear people like MTG and it makes me want to do not-so-chill things to them.

Was she the one who kept ad hominem attacking with "antifa" at the end?

Relatedly, I'll know we've left the worst timeline once it's no longer a mainstream slur to be anti-fascist.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago

Ironically, antifa is a portmanteau of anti-fascist, which naturally republicans view a slur.

I'm surprised they've not gone full mask-off on the whole fascism thing. They're anti antifascism but simplifying it is a step too far?

This is actually an example of them going all mask off with the direct attacks, saying 'they are in charge' to silence opposition, and using the system to promote fascism. This is literally fascism.

If she can define antifa I'll eat a fucking towel

Now......what's the difference between a beach towel, and a fucking towel?

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Beach towels are usually less absorbent on one or both sides. You don't want to absorb the water from a Damp beach into the towel you're laying on.

It's why they're not a replacement for a regular shower towel. They're shit at that job since they aren't nearly as absorbent.

I submit that obviating fucking towels from your repertoire will preclude you from some barbarian sexplosion experiences

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

They'll use the same bullshit definition they sstartes to seed into the public discourse via Fox News a year or two ago... That ANTIFA means Anti-First Amendment.

Have you seen it talk since it gained sentience? It won’t shut up about how all existence should be commodified.
