status_sphereCould you imagine writing for the Onion right now?
inariHoly fuckin shit it’s this one comment every single post. You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.
Tongue punch my chocolate starfish.
MinnesotaGoddamtongue punch my chocolate starfish yourself, you coward
Right. This place had like ten jokes and is a subset of the most insufferable of us from Reddit. It has a great benefit though, in that I spend vastly less time online these days.
TheTechnician27You know exactly why words are censored on social media sites.
I actually don’t know why mild swear words like “bastard” are self-censored on the neo-Nazi social media website like a superstitious 12-year-old on XBL who thinks their parents might be home so whispers “you’re a dumbass bitch” 2 centimeters from the mic.
Please, enlighten us with what would happen to this user if they said “bastard” without the asterisk like it makes any difference to “dah algurathamm!!1”
Algorithms prefer no swearwords. Many parts of the internet are obsessed with the possibility of going viral.
Personally I also think it’s engagementbait, for the same reason OP got a little mad at the same question over and over again.
TrickDacysaying “Fucking” is more offensive than praising Allah.
I DEMAND a mediocre sandwich that funds BIGOTS!
The Velour Fog Chik fil A is mid anyway
don’t disappoint people expecting mid and then giving them chik fil a
smeg
northernlightsI haven’t heard of that yet. How?
Chick-fil-A, about a decade ago, received significant backlash because they were giving money to anti-LGBT organizations and I think funding conversion camps. After the backlash, the business itself stopped doing it, but the family who owns/started the business has replaced the lost funding from the business with their own money.
The whole “closed on Sunday” bit is because it’s the “Lord’s Day”
They’re right wing fanatics who prop up Trump.
Dang OK, TIL
also chicken is against my religion if you needed another reason.
Whatever they could come up with nowadays would just be a humdrum article as part of the regular news cycle.
The Onion should start writing headlines that come from a world where Trump is a sane and rational person.
It ran an article like that years ago.
Bush Regales Dinner Guests With Impromptu Oratory On Virgil's Minor Works
WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush delighted an intimate gathering of White House dinner guests Monday, regaling the coterie of dignitaries, artists, and friends with a spirited, off-the-cuff discussion of the Roman poet Virgil’s lesser-known works.
jballsThat just made me nostalgic for a time when our president was just a moron and not a completely narcissistic moron with dementia.
You need to be a bit of a narcissist too want to be president. But, well, the current one kind of overshot that mark.
Also, dementia is not strictly speaking a job requirement. It’s just a tradition that results from an empire in decline selecting leaders that remind them of daddy when times were good.
Before I learned that they were religious wackadoos, one showed up near me (Chicago area) and I figured I’d give it a try. It was the blandest chicken sandwich I’ve ever had, and the waffle fries suuuuucked. Dune time later I figured I’d give them a second chance and ordered their spicy chicken sandwich. Still bland AF, still bad fries. I’ve had a society chicken sandwich from Burger King, and seriously, how the fuck do you screw up waffle fries? So I wrote them off as total trash and never went back. Then I learned that they were owned by Christian fundamentalist assholes, giving me a second reason to hate them.
I’ll say the same thing I said when 5 Guys (burgers are fine, not a fan of the peanut oil fries) - if you want to move into the Chicago area you need to do better than whatever’s been working for you everywhere else. I’m honestly surprised that either of them maintains a foothold here. Funny thing is the 5 Guys has all these framed copies of reviews from all over the country, not one of which was from Chicago or even Illinois lol. At least 5 Guys isn’t run by assholes (as far as I know).
