Orientate comes from when maps used to point to sunrise, the Orient, in the east. Then North took over a little later.

Has the word meme been redefined?

Good. Glad you like the place.

That’s true love, right there… plus a brilliant misnaming.

TIL: There is no such person as Chris Novacelic (sp?) - I’ve always misheard his name.

Please don’t tell me it was Kirk Cobain…

Put down the crack pipe, Pete. Take a day off, lad.

There’s a rugby player called Christ - commentators call him a sound more like Chris and then add a t at the end… “Chrissed” as an approximation.

Yeah - the whole thing about the internet for me at the turn of the last century was to discover cool and interesting new stuff, to see things from other perspectives and learn… then one year September didn’t end / became eternal and a generation later here we are. Surfers drowning in algorithms and adverts.

The longest month

If the author was racist and dumb I’m pretty sure he would have slitted-up the counter guy’s eyes and called the place Panda Expless.

Never been interested in being bubbled and having an algo rammed down my throat - I deliberately go places online that aren’t necessarily for me. I like to see how others live and think. Hate the omnipresence of advertising. Heard about Mastodon, did some reading, ended-up here…

Abe got a lot of things to answer for.

Flat = Apartment

Flat derives from a (non-English?) word for floor or level - hence a round tyre (tire) without air in it can be “flat”. Flats were single story houses stacked on top of each other.

He was a KGB officer before becoming dictator president, so… uh? He could well have actually killed someone. But, yeah, now he has the boys take care of business for him.

“No valley too deep”

That’s a questionable lyric now.

“What’d you say ‘bout my mother?”

In another thread, 5 minutes ago, someone just tried to educate me that Hitler didn’t actually kill anybody - and this was the first thought that popped into my head.

That, I think, demonstrates the duality of roasting. You have to go for the obvious, the low hanging fruit but do it in a way that brings something else than just: duh-huh black, duh-huh gay, duh-huh ugly etc

The only roaster I’ve watched purely for his roasts is Greg Giraldo - a now dead, ex lawyer, drug addict who only got into comedy because he thought he could do better than what he was going out to watch.

I shall pass on your condolences…

Start leaving my house unlocked again.

Edit: before all the morally righteous people lose their heads in a shitposting community I suggest you see my previous comment regarding this stoopid screengrab over on the politicalmemes community.

In my comment history that’s my previous post - it starts with the same sentence as this one.

I actually know two people without assholes… although they both have a tremendous amount of opinions all the same.

Jesus. She ain’t climbing no ladders.
