what? "frens" is dumb internet speak like "doge" or "hekkin." Do terminally online fash use it? Probably. You look like an even bigger dumb dumb if you start jumping at every "UwU" as crypto fascist signifiers because you once saw it used on 4chan

I mean, yeah, that's the point of the dog whistles. Make them ridiculous and coincidental so they can say "see? These online lefties are paranoid. Don't associate with them. Also, why don't you check out this copy of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion."

It's better to be aware of the dumb language fascists are using, so you can spot their dumb poo poo easier.

It's another one of those things where yes there is a subset of online chuds who use it to signal to each other but it really only makes sense as that in context. Your sister isn't a secret right wing loon because she calls her DnD group her "frens," and some rando on Twitter saying "hello frens, I finally got my dental surgery today, feelin fresh" probably isn't either. The actual psychos are not subtle and the language comes part-and-parcel with a lot of other weird behaviors that make it obvious what they're doing.

(I've also heard that "fren" was originally shorthand for far-right ethno-nationalist but they seem to have lost the plot on that one)

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.


So this bloke is saying he is in the queue for immigration? Meaning he is travelling between countries. Pretty much all countries around the world that currently allow people in or out require those people to show proof of full vaccination, AND a recent negative test. Also, if domestic US airlines are requiring masks on the planes, then I would guarantee any international airline worth it's salt would be too.

But he definitely gave that other guy a manly hug, whilst judging the poor little kiddies whose parents committed the grave sin of wanting to keep them safe.

Edit: On the "frens" thing. I thought the (((((brackets))))) was the anti Semitic code. And frens was code for friend. As in "friend of ours that agrees with our hateful fascist stuff".

Hell, I check the coin return of snack machines or pinball tables because I’ve found money in them before. It’s got a lot hit rate but you miss out on 100% of bush food you don’t search for.

I hear you, once I found a bunch of coins under a vending machine so I have a bit of a look now, and I've also found money down the sides of seats in waiting rooms etc so always give them a look.

yeah and they were using language like "i think we should bop all the nonfrens" as a plausible deniability thing so they could post white supremacist stuff without getting banned by the reddit admins.
same way there was a ban-evasion subreddit for /r/creepshots (the subreddit for taking "sexy" pictures of random women's bodies in public without consent) that pretended to be about fashion critique instead (/r/candidfashionpolice), so redditors would post a photograph of a stranger's butt on the sidewalk with some inane title about her top not matching her shoes.

eventually the "one weird trick to not get your subreddit banned" stops working, the admins catch on, and they abandon that concept and move on to the next thing.

Many psychological studies on cats remain inconclusive, because the cats won't play ball with the entire experiment. We can't tell if they don't know the thing we're trying to observe, or just don't care.

What I'm saying is that cats are anti-science.

There's a similar thing for raccoons, except they keep escaping.

It’s “picked up by Apple TV” in the same sense that your antenna picks up public access. They don’t have distribution deals, they just say that they’re going live on all these different platforms that do YouTube livestreaming.

It’s this. Be wary if you see someone using fash dogwhistles but don’t assume everyone who uses them is fash. One of the queerest lefties I know uses “frens” on a daily basis so yeah

imo it's a very good NFT show because it's really good at communicating just how void of anything creative or interesting NFT-based art is

like i get the "killing the planet" angle, but what annoys me the most about NFTs is that they're doing it for really bland, lovely art

I think for me personally I'd still be pretty annoyed about the whole "destroying the planet" aspect even if they were receipts for good art.

i mean yeah, i guess - though them being receipts to bad art is adding non-trivial amounts of insult to injury. it's destroying the planet but like in the stupidest way possible and for stupidest reasons

anti-maskers may actually lack object permanence because they sure seem to think you stop existing as a person if someone can't see your entire face.

It is so funny because my 4 year old daughter will jump up and scream with excitement when it is "mask time". It is a deeply weird world that we are living in right now, but kids are sublimely adaptable. My daughter will give *me* poo poo when I dick-nose at the park (we're outside, it is OK, but I respect her caution).

Anti-mask poo poo isn't for the kids. For them, it is extremely normal. I hate wearing a mask. I do it because I'm not an rear end in a top hat. Like most things, people who don't do it and say it is "for the children" are the real assholes.

Cultivating buddha-nature in obligate carnivores is an acceptable pursuit. You can't expect a lot of traction in this lifetime but there are externalities to consider where it is good to hedge. We all live by killing. Life eats life. But nobody wants to end up a hungry ghost where unlife eats life.
