trenchant social commentary 2

also, this link

That's a pretty biased article

I personally think this should keep escalating until there's a Kaiju-sized sculpture in NYC https://t.co/37lGrqQh4l

why is neil degrasse tyson in the conspiracy picture? my guess is he is supposed to be the dude who gets you woke but in that picture it just looks like he is hanging out with the pope and george soros.

okay I googled it the artist is an actual flat earther

its been really funny to see people stick up for wall street today

oh cool he's coming straight to the thread now, no cutting and pasting needed

the pissing dog artist is literally standing up for the sanctity of the stupid bull statue lol

<3 karl

All those pretty trenchant until we got to General Nguyen stepping in for Pat Robertson. Didn't see that one coming.

Fidget spinned man is my new all-purpose gif

thanks guys

i took some heat on imgur for it earlier today and had a minor personal meltdown

one of those moments where you hope dead people that you know aren't watching from the afterworld because you're acting so pathetically

I didn't know how you were going to animate it, and then you hit it out of the park.

If you want upvotes on Imgur, you gotta post a pic of a busty woman about to do a handstand and then label it, "THIS IS MY SISTER. SHE DIED OF CANCER AFTER GETTING HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER (WHO WAS MY DAD.)"

lol pplains

karl, you're a sick bastard. good job!

thanks guys

Link?? Assholes!!

serious q is imgur a step up or a step down from 9gag

it's not more than a step in either direction i'm just not sure which way

lol that is dead on

this is lame but i have to post the thread:

i post the image with the description "Still working on it, though. It's at 12 frames now, but I'm going to double the frames."

imgur asshole
That someone already did it about and posted it about twenty times today.

me OP
Oh really? I didn't check. Damn. I'll just delete it.

a second imgur asshole
So basically you're a plagiarizer

me
I don't think that word means what you think it means. Also, I'm deep down in the most recent and popular posts, and I don't see any of them

a second imgur asshole
You were taking credit for it "still working on it" but then admitted it was a repost?

me
It's not a repost, I've spent 8+ hours isolating the body parts and animating them. It's a popular meme that you're obviously familar with

second imgur asshole
Then don't remove it! I withdraw my objection. I will even up vote your fidget spinner as all OC is good OC.

---
to which i replied "oh thank you for your generosity! you have truly showed the world your support of OC" in my mind and then thought "HEH! GOT HIM."

i take things way too personally, i gotta stop

xlol that is dead on

xpost to pplains there

man Karl those dudes can't handle someone with your shine, let em eat themselves, you're operating outside their ether

well, you all are really nice and not like the rest of the internet. i don't know why i keep going back to the well (not just imgur but other places as well) with this shit but the endless immediate antagonism i seem trigger everywhere starts to get to me after a while. wtf is wrong with everyone? i know it's the anonymity of the internet working its magic but i remember a golden time when you could log into yahoo chat in the mid-90s and interact with people in the internet commons and it didn't seem like these public internet spaces were packed to the brim with assholes foaming at the mouth

we always seek first the approval of people who would otherwise shit on us because we know if we can win *those* assholes over, we've truly made it.

Thread got trenchant

it's the theme of my oc

oidnc

oicwydt

wait wtf is going on right now

this is the part where i realize i just signed a legally binding contract to give away all of my possessions, entirely with acronyms

From little acrons great trees grow etc

better than mouths foaming at the asshole, but only slightly

Fuck all them shitty statues tbh

Also, the bull statue- did anyone actually care, or even notice this thing before the fearless girl thing? Pretty sure I must have walked past this thing on one of my visits to the big apple, stateside, but obviously wasn't interested enough to even cursorily take it in.

hay guys I too have a covfefe pun

karl, that gif <3

covfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefecovfefe

looks great zs!

Maybe not quite as egregious as the post-banky memes of young women getting face-fucked by instagram or whatever bullshit but I've noticed there's been a spate of crap political cartoonists doing tired variations on the old "turkeys voting for Christmas" line and getting RTd all over the place by yr great dismals

(caption for the nyer being "he tells it like it is", I'm sure you've all seen it)

Then caption was the whole point of it - it's not "turkeys voting for Christmas" it's the existence of "he tells it like it is" as an argument. But yeah, sure you have proved you are better than "great dismals" whoever they are.

lol ok I'm sure the speaker being oblivious to being on the receiving end of the policy isn't part of the punchline at all

(at the great dismal is cyberpunk author and retweeter of things William Gibson btw)

It's just this thread always annoys me when it crops up because it just seems like sneering at people who haven't been around for as long as you. I know I was very pretentious when I was younger, had some pretty simplistic and not-well-thought-through views, but weren't we all like that? Why be annoyed with people just for being in that phase of their lives? And often it's "this is a cliche" but so what? Cliches are everywhere, something being a cliche doesn't make it any more or less true, who cares? I just can't understand what is annoying or even interesting about the 6/10 internet ephemera that lives here.

Trench as fuck

sneering at people who haven't been around for as long as you - NBD?

(that's New Board Description for the clueless noobs among you)

These crap political cartoonists are not teenagers, I can pretty much guarantee that they are older than me

it's always about being a better consumer. detached derision is at the top of the hierarchy of consumption.

in any case I think it's ok to make fun of simplistic and ill-thought-out political rhetoric because... it is simplistic and ill-thought-out

just a thoroughly bad post from camaraderie at arms length tbh I feel superior to it
