I checked the other day and McDonalds was charging $3.49 per hash brown on one of the delivery apps.

That was as far as I got before boiling water for oatmeal.

There’s definitely an “I got mine, fuck you.” component, yes.

In some cases. But even proposed changes to zoning laws can get this kind of opposition.

In the United States at least, your local government’s public hearings for new housing developments kinda begs to differ.

People will demand the homeless be eliminated from their area while simultaneously opposing development of housing or shelters for the homeless in their area.

So maybe you’re right though: they don’t hate the apartments more, they simply can’t make up their mind on which they hate more.

I’d like to think even as a jaded adult this isn’t just an impersonation.

And I assume the Ken dance off scene is an allegory to the obliteration of the ego resulting in self reflection?

People expressing opposition to the military industrial complex get called tankies these days.

Yeah the communities dedicated to screenshotting posts in other instances are a really fucking odd thing I see show up routinely.

It has always appeared to me there is some kind of side squabble between various communities in the Fediverse against a couple instances in the Fediverse. I pretty much see two flavors: overly personal grudges or hypocritical trolling. Or I guess the swirl option for both, so three flavors.

It’s kind of nostalgic really, for the old days of forum flame wars.

Sure, but to my point: if you don’t know or are unaware of the kind of humor associated with their core userbase, you might not be able to tell the difference at face value.

I maintain the best way for the uninformed to try and understand Hexbear users is to learn about or listen Chapo Trap House regardless of your politics/agreement. It puts a lot of their antics into context.

My work instituted a policy for field workers that have to go out in teams of two.

This means everyone has to be at the office because they need to be available to accompany a field worker.

Its stupsud and arbitrary but for context my work is also 9 months into not negotiating with our union. Yey corrupt local government.

A large part of it is a fanbase of Chapo Trap House which has a particular brand of humor that is rampant with esoteric inside jokes that are vulgar as a point, let alone to the extreme.

That humor, especially without that frame of reference, usually offends your average internet denizen.
