The person you’re responding to, and these memes, aren’t interested in discussing anything.
Things don’t need to make sense. They just have to be provocative and engage people.
The intent is to normalize their message through the lens of things we can kinda agree on. Idk if they expected anyone to not want to dunk on NJ, because their prop sheet says we like to dunk on NJ.
Hey, I may be a lot of things (specifically terrible at social interaction and emotional regulation under stress) but I am not some fuckin' shill with a script, pal. A script would actually avoid this kind of dense shit on my part.
Also, who the hell is running so many campaigns against New Jersey that you think a prop sheet would specify focusing on New Jersey?
Can I say something to you? Something I've learned in life is to see when you are wrong. Step back, take a breathe and look at what you said. Multiple people are giving you a reason why what you said might be taken wrong. Hell, you have even more downvotes.
It's okay to be wrong, dude. We're not right wing nut jobs who will hold it against you. Calm down, and think about it. You could've easily said, "My bad, I wasn't trying to offend anyone." And accepted the L. But now you look like a jackass.
I agree- you just caught me as I was coming back from the cool off. I edited my initial dumbass comment above with an apology, and I'm off to smoke a bowl to finish cooling off.
I'm an idiot, but I try to be a stand up idiot at least.
Good on you man for calming yourself and taking a moment to reflect. It takes practice to get better at it. Therapy can be surprisingly helpful at giving you tools to help if that's something you would consider.
Oh, I wasn't being entirely facetious when I said OP forgot his meds- It's been a hell of a week/month/season/year and ya boy got goldfish brain. Everyone should have a therapist though, even if they aren't potentially coo coo bananas.
Lol no worries man, we are all speedrunning this dystopian hellscape together.
We're all idiots, it's up to us how much of an idiot do we want to be.
Dude, there's a ton of that. Alot of people aren't a fan of Jersey, so its easy to conflate that.
... Is it like leftover hate from Snooki? I just thought it was like an "across the river" type beef between NYC/NJ whenever I see Jersey smack talkin'.
Oh no, I recently went to Jersey for a concert and I had multiple family members ask me why 'cause its dirty'.
Every day my hope for our species dims a little more. 🫠💀 That's such a goofy way to think about another state- as if the whole country isn't just a big mess.
I mean, maybe, but thats just how things are, at least this, has been for awhile.
Think Florida, Texas, Ohio or Mississippi. They all have stereotypes.
