But no, memes are always true so you should always take them as fact.

Reminds me of the 90s back when earrings on men became a big thing, but everyone was convinced there was a secret gay code behind which side you wore it on. Or god help you if you put a handkerchief in your back pocket for any reason.

Why would you do that though, other than to indicate your interest in gay sex? :smugbert:

Some quality racism on my feed today!

Any time a story starts with the words "ITS ABOUT TIME" and end with "AND THE ENTIRE PEOPLE IN THE QUE CLAPPED" it sets off the poo poo that didnt happen alarm bells.

Also the fact that Canada hasnt been to Iraq since the first gulf war.

I know, there's so many "black people use lots of secret gay code words so don't talk like them! Because both gays and blacks are bad!" posts it's bordering hilarious.

It makes me wonder if anyone with black friends, both legitimately or as the token "see not racist" friend, ever posted these and got called out on it.

Probably not, because like Dabbo said, a minority calling somebody out on racism is often seen as "overly sensitive".

So is red a guy trying to slut shame, or a fatty trying to perverse the term 'curvy'?

Will agree that AH is way hotter, but Monroe always seemed like one of those people you needed to see in motion. She was hot as hell in The Seven Year Itch, and that's definitely not the best picture of her posted.

I think someone is just butthurt that the quintessential sex symbol of the past century wasn't 100% virginal flower pedestal-quality perfect, and anyone who accepts her pop culture status (and uses it to feel better about themselves) is clearly a horrible human being. Especially if they're a woman.

So I have a question that keeps popping up when I'm reading through these posts and maybe there's some goon who knows enough about Internet culture and language and what not, but I'm interested in understanding how some people can post absolute illiterate nonsense and be fine with it. I'm not even talking about content; I mean, very specifically the (complete lack of) grammer and bizarre punctuation (which includes excessive use of symbols like ~). And I get all caps, but people who capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word just baffle me. I first I wondered if maybe just the next generation is cool with typing that way, but it doesn't seem to be limited to an age group. Or maybe it's a regional thing? I can't imagine this is how people write essays in school...unless they do I don't know.

Those are their troll typing quirks.

They always seem to hold up Hepburn against Monroe in these too, which is perfect considering Hepburn was no stranger to affairs and relationship overlap herself. You know, being a human being and all.

Because that's not as scary as real life. The thought that some stranger could snap and shoot people for *reasons* and no other motive scares people, so it's easier to believe it's some shadowy conspiracy from a government that can't even keep the NSA ops secret any more.

Yeah, I have a feeling people making observations like this aren't likely to be asking for things like, say, smaller class sizes so it would be easier to focus kids the old fashioned way by actually giving each individual kid some attention. No, they're more likely to be asking to completely defund public education and allow rampant nonsense based private education.

Don't these truthers ever stop and question why this supposed conspiracy to take the guns away keeps perpetrating these false-flag mass shootings when they're clearly not working? Obama couldn't even get universal background checks after Sandy Hook, much less a blanket gun ban.

He dragged himself all the way down to the steel mill at five in the morning, then dragged himself back home at eight at night, and when he got there his father would beat him and send him to bed without supper. And weekends? Ha! What he wouldn't give for such luxuries!
