dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

It can be true and also apply to the person saying it. We all eat from the trash can all the time, especially Zizek. zizek-theory

Who tf is this zizek guy everyone is referencing

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago

A Slovenian academic who says whatever keeps him in headlines but also has historically had some really interesting things to say, which is why we keep referencing him. The most common reference is to this clip:

And my other favorite one is:

But he has also said all sorts of repugnant things, so I don't hold him up as a particular model for anything except what debasing yourself to please the press does.

Bold of you to assume my city has viable public transportation.

♥️ 🚌 ♥️ - i love public transport though for real, my city doesnt

If it makes you feel any better: I got to experience number 1, 2 and 3 of the "best" passenger train systems in this country and it's crystal clear that each city's elected officials would gleefully destroy the trains like Los Angeles did, if weren't so politically toxic to suggest it now:

NYC's is BEARLY passable as a primary means of transportation (unless you're in Manhattan) and it gets exponentially worse the further from the city center you are located. Chicago is number two on that list and is so unreliable past 9pm that you either have depend on uber or a bus (buses are just as bad after 9pm) and number 3 is so disappointing that I won't acknowledge it by name because it literally shutsdown a majority of its tracks after 8pm forcing everything through such a circuitous paths that it turned my 12 minute drive into a 2.5 hour long exercise in patience and it completely stops before 10pm; before 7pm on the weekends.
