Going to repeat this every time this creep comes up: Jesse Watters pursued his current wife while "happily" married to his previous one. His idea to get a date with her was to deflate her tires so she would be forced to get a ride home with him.

It's called the D.E.N.N.I.S. system

It also works really well because of the implications. She can't walk home, so she has to ride with him. Then, you know... There's only one tasty treat left on the menu.

No.

I love when shitty tabloids like the Independent do this. Thanks for protecting me from your shoddy coverage!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

but... but... don't you want to share your activity profile with us? pretty please?

I want the camo one with the hunter orange lettering, but they sold out.

[–] tourist 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

could maybe just buy a generic camo hat and print/do embroidery on to it

edit: you can still donate the equivalent price of the real hat to the campaign, obviously

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

I'd much rather the revenue go to the campaign

In the caption to one of the pictures, the (R) designation for Republican got auto-corrected to a registered trademark symbol. The text formatting below may match the article depending on your instance.

Harold Ford Jr (L) and Jesse Watters (R) had an awkward exchange on Fox New’s The Five on Thursday (Fox News/White Dudes for Harris)

Edit: Fixed formatting thanks to @[email protected].

[–] edgemaster72 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Escape the open parenthesis by prefixing it with a backslash, like such

\(R)

To prevent the autocorrect to (R) and produce (R) instead

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using Mbin through a browser, I see it as (R) in my post (capital R inside parentheses). Are you saying my earlier comment with no escape character renders as the trademark symbol for you?

Regardless, it's rendered incorrectly in the article's picture caption.

[–] edgemaster72 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Correct, for me it's showing in both your text and the quoted text as the registered trademark symbol rather than being the (R) designation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Ok, I will fix the original comment. Thanks.

[–] pyre 28 points 2 months ago

here i am being not weird again

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

Hosts slammed the hat as a “Maga merch rip-off” of Donald Trump’s red Make America Great Again cap,

Are these motherfuckers trying to claim ownership over the concept of branded baseball caps?

[–] sarcasticsunrise 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Jessie Weirders being totally quirky at work y'all, mad lad/10

[–] whostosay 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That dude has some "Would you like some coffee with that sugar?!?!? Hurhurbhbrbbhb" vibes.

Followed by "Whats up with all these blacks, amirite?"

[–] sarcasticsunrise 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

"Hello my fellow racis - TEENS!"

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

i'm surprised this watered down jessie dude even has a job there. i'd say he's milquetoast but the spoilage has made him too rancid to be considered 'bland'

The smug look on his face really is grotesque.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Everything about this is stupid. We are truly living in the worst timeline.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 months ago

i dunno what's got you upset up but i and all my homies are extremely entertained watching these shitty bastard pig chud scumbags squirm and flail as their best laid plans crumble out from under them. the republicans might actually lose. and if they do, I will be laughing SO hard. don't mistake me for a fan of the democrat party though; taking the bluedogs out to kristi noem's gravel pit is definitely ALSO on the docket. It's just important that we exterminate the fascists first. THEN we can commence flaying alive the centrist toadies who bent over backwards to accommodate them.

Business before Pleasure, y'know?

[–] proper 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

oh this isn’t reddit, you’re allowed to form your own opinions here instead of leaning on cliche speak.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why is Reddit just people and bots saying cliche phrases to each other to farm engagement.

[–] ripcord 3 points 2 months ago

Karma seems to be at least one factor.

[–] ripcord 4 points 2 months ago

This kind of lazy uberpessimism is so 2 months ago.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Haha. He’s a bully. Republicans love bullies.
