Hbomberguy is a goon who used to frequent Cinema Discusso.

AOC is a socialist who used to be a bartender and recently responded to criticism by quoting Watchmen and "all your base are belong to us".

All I am saying is that AOC might be SMG.

AOC is a democratic socialist, not a socialist. She still believes in using the overall capitalist framework, but with lots of social security nets to improve overall upwards social mobility. That's a pretty far from the proletariat seizing the means of production.

Found a onion-alike site I don't think I've seen here.

Its called the Babylon bee, and its gimmick is Christian news satire.

Terrifying New Escape Room Just Locks You In A Church Meet-And-Greet Time
https://babylonbee.com/news/terrifying-new-escape-room-just-locks-you-in-a-church-meet-and-greet-time

quote:

Held in a former megachurch, the new escape room will offer challenging riddles, exciting thrills, and the constant terror of knowing someone is about to try to hug you and shake your hand.

People who sign up for the horror-packed experience will be locked in a room with extroverted church members. They will have 60 minutes to discover clues, locate keys, and solve puzzles to exit the room, all while being pestered by friendly churchgoers asking how their week went.

At the escape room's grand opening, hundreds of terrified participants ran screaming the moment they were locked into the room, bashing through walls and burrowing through the floor to escape rather than attempting to solve the escape room's myriad challenges.

So far, no one has actually solved the escape room.

"We find it's much too terrifying for people to be able to concentrate on locating the code to get out," said the escape room's designer. "They would much rather leap through a window or army-crawl through a ventilation shaft to get away from the chipper church members trying to make small talk."

The entrepreneurs behind Escape Room: Church Greeting Time are reportedly planning an even more terrifying experience for next year: Escape Room: Charismatic Church Service.

This one reminds me of when I was a kid after church on sunday.

There is some real good satire in the archives of site just from browing. If you grew up going to church every sunday, watched veggietales, etc; you should definitely look at the site.

Yeah, I get that. It just resonated with me because going to church every single week was a big part of my childhood until I found that I had no real capacity for faith in a religion and stopped going as I entered puberty. Its why I found all the non-abortion jokes so silly.

The site was apparently bought out by some Trump guy a couple years ago, which is why the site has gone from youth group humor to articles where the punchline is just “Democrats kill babies”.
