  • I guess because that was always the intended messaging of the kind of schlocky Facebook posts the original is meant to be parodying. It used to be “this wise soldier/farmer/cop/blue collar worker shows a Millennial hipster how the world REALLY works,” and now you replace ‘Millennial hipster’ with ‘liberal’, but it’s all the same shit designed to get you to look down on someone while respecting whoever the meme tells you is worth respecting.

    To be honest, I think the novel author in the replies had some valid points. They just had the poor sense of awareness that would lead them to making those points against an obvious parody, and then going “nuh-uh I’m still right” when it was pointed out to be obvious parody with yet more obvious parody.

    I guess my point is we should all be taking a step back from the online brainrot, doing more to act locally and benefit the world around us, and supporting our local sewer men.





  • I figure it’s because the year can be seen as an optional appendage if you’re talking about dates from the current year. Like, I can say “that happened on May 5th,” or “I’ll be there June 18th,” and you can reasonably assume I mean in 2024 unless I specify “June 18th, 2063.”

    Now, as for why you can say “I’m going on the 18th,” but Americans don’t say 18th of June, 2024, I haven’t a clue. We really only seem to have logical explanations for the way we do things about half of the time.











  • Wow, I can’t believe nobody’s even bothered to mention the style from the definitive hacker movie. Just absolutely gobsmacked. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like:

    Notably missing from this picture: rollerblades, fingerless gloves, neon dyed hair, tons of fishnets (which I guess you could probably stylize as fish.nets or something), puffy vest, etc.

    In my day, being a hacker meant dressing like a weird raver/punk and sending people a GIF of a laughing skull, and that’s how we liked it
