Cool jacket, and reading the backstory you linked makes it even cooler.

Lol, well I didn't mean specifically "tell me you're from the US" just the general phrase "tell me X without telling me X".
And can confirm that plenty of Americans aren't thrilled with how things are run in America. We're running democracy v0.1 beta
Well like other people were saying, there's a trend of people posting this prompt, and then others responding with funny answers. You're right, I don't like it when people use the same formulation in response to a comment. I also don't get why people are doing it, for the same reason: I don't think it's funny, and it doesn't really add anything to the conversation.
Usually memes are funny because there's a familiar pattern and then people riff on the pattern and make little unexpected tweaks. The type of usage I don't like and don't get is when people are just saying "you're this" in a more wordy way. It has the form of a joke with no punchline.
Sorry, that probably came off too negative. Looking at all your posts there's clearly plenty of variety. And anyone regardless of party is going to do things worthy of criticism. Only reason I commented is I've noticed that when I get to the end of my subscribed feed I often encounter a post with low upvotes critical of Harris and see your username. I guess that illustrates the audience on lemmy just as much as the type of things you post.
Thanks yeah, I've seen that sort of thread. If anything in this particular case it would make more sense if the comment was "tell me what country you're from without telling me what country you're from."
I was saying I see it everywhere?
I was going to say, normally your posts are shitting on Harris but this one's good
I think the issue they're raising is that these clips aren't from porn, they're from movies that happen to have nude scenes. They argue that taking the nude scene out of the larger context is molesting them.
I can understand not liking it, but I don't see how it would be unexpected.
You should probably correct it right? Like swap the image for a different Herzog quote, or change it so the image is William
If you had anything real to say you'd be linking to it or even talking about specific examples. Instead it's "there's stories", "there's been reporting".
I've seen people say there's good weird and bad weird, and if you don't mind calling yourself weird it's probably the good kind.
As for calling maga people weird I think it's effective because their whole deal is about vibes. "We're strong, we're smart" and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It's also not something you can "debate". Either people accept it or they don't. What are you going to say "no, I'm not weird"? Sure thing buddy.
