My dad is the coolest most scrappiest Appalachian mountain man who managed to escape the cult of republicanism 2 decades ago. This is one remnant, those damn sunglasses, from those days, and I try not to judge but I do cringe a bit. He fucking despises Trump and Republicans, mind you.
Like sunglasses can be cool. I despise richard nixon but having a bunch of dudes in wayfarers behind him in his speeches did look cool. Maybe your dad would like to embrace the wayfarer look?
I’ve gotten death threats for posting Kirk’s own words about acceptable gun deaths and dismissing empathy, sometimes in the same breath as calling out the “violent left”, while not knowing the ideology of the shooter. They’re fucking insane.
Lol I've just calmly expressed how easily the red hat would make it to dome them at a distance, not one has considered continuing the conversation past that, like yes those are my ideas actually.
I watch some random YouTube videos sometimes, when auto play is on it just plays another random video while i do chores for example. A video owas playing where some guys motorcycle broke down and some random guys helped him. The put it in their barn and worked hard to fix it. In the back was this huge trump 2024 flag just hanging out.
To me it's genuinely weird to see. A part ofe thought: "oh no, these people are real and not just on the internet."
And how can you be so nice and so fucking stupid at the same time?
Human tribalism at its finest. We really only associate a few hundred people as fully human in our social group at one time.
Take of care of people in your group. People from other groups are less than human and should all be exterminated. It's a highly selected for trait from human evolutionary history.
..."tribalism" is a hard-to-escape fact of human neurology simply because many human brains are not adapted to working with large populations
Outside of the primitive communism of our hunter/gatherer days we’ve never had a society that is free from a ruling class that sows discord and division to protect themselves. I wouldn’t be so sure that tribalism is innately human and not something that we have been conditioned to by millennia of rule by psychopaths.
Not so much to do with the current designation of clowder, but rather I was inspired by the origin of the word.
A variation, recorded since 1801, of clutter, itself from clot, from Old English clott (“round mass, lump”), from Proto-Germanic *klūtaz (hence cognate with Dutch kloot (“ball, testicle”), Danish klods (“a block, lump”) and German Klotz (“lump, block”)).
As for murder, I think labelling them with their intent is simply a good idea.
I've nothing against crows or cats, but the person who coined their respective collective nouns probably did.
I'm a middle-aged white guy, salt-and-pepper-goatee. Let them think I am MAGA. When I speak out on them in public, they have been surprised. And now I have to go armed, non-stop, and it sucks.

Given the skin tone and sunglasses, one could put that picture of the suspect they're looking for in there and see if anyone notices

Why do they always have terrible profile photos. Sunglasses and the same dumb expression.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 17 pts · 343d
Because they're in the same cult.
Not only is conformity encouraged, but deviating from their group norms even slightly is met with suspicion if not outright fear and hostility.
Plus that's what people who are emotionally stuck in adolescence and/or the 80s think looks cool.
derry@midwest.social · 4 pts · 343d
Hey leave the 80s out of this. Some of us from that time period are not terrible people.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 343d
True. I was born during the 80s and thought sunglasses were automatically SUPER cool until well into the 90s myself.
That doesn't make me a terrible and/or extremely cringe person, but never progressing from that does, is my point 😉

What’s the collective noun for chunguses?
Vupware@lemmy.zip · 6 pts · 343d
It’s gotta be Chungi, right?
onslaught545@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 343d
They're talking about a collection of animals, not the plural form of the word (which chunguses is). Like a group of crows is called a murder.
javiwhite@feddit.uk · 4 pts · 343d
I think the plural should be chungi, and the collective noun either a clowder, or a murder.
Agrivar@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 343d
Why would you besmirch cats and crows that way? The collective noun should be something vaguely derogatory, like "heap" or "clump."
javiwhite@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 343d
Not so much to do with the current designation of clowder, but rather I was inspired by the origin of the word.
