Nice Ven diagram. What it lacks is population per circle, as the left has clearly 0

…and if Republicans could read, they would be offended by this.

And those who can read would need to be able to grasp what they read. It’s not as simple as one might think…

That’s not what saying a “hard R” means.

I came here to say the same thing. I’m against ableism as much as the next guy but let’s be real about what the ‘hard R’ is.

I think it is a reference joke to when YouTuber Linus from linus tech tips expressed remorse for having formerly used the “hard R” during a podcast, mistaking it for the word “retarded”. The video of it, including the panic and awkward clarification that ensued, went viral on tech circles as cringe inducing amusement and proof of Linus’s social ineptitude.

You’re probably right, but that’s sort of a niche reference that I wouldn’t expect everyone to grok.

I caught the LTT joke but yeah it’s a niche reference to have in the post title.

The way he figures out what he meant and thinks about the smartest way to ask for clarification cracked me up. He goes through like 4 emotions in 10 seconds

I love the clip of that, watch Lukes eyes go as wide as dinner plates.

when Linus says he dropped his fair share Luke looks like he’s being punched by a ghost

It’s only the far left that’s offended by this word… You all are aware of that, right?
