(context: yesterday there was a horrific incident in Germany with many dead & injured)

This morning somebody on Mastodon posted how they are done with the public broadcast because the host of a news show dared to open the show with "good evening"

That's actually fucking stupid.

It's a spectrum. One person's stupid take is another person's principled stance.

I've met people online who mocked me relentlessly for objecting to their use of the n word to make fun of a black person in the VoIP chat.

Guarantee they'd enthusiastically share this meme thinking of people like me.

This reminds me of the Star Wars drinking game (back before Episode 1).

Every time a storm trooper misses a shot, you take one.

You have to watch the film frame by frame to keep up with the pace of them missing shots.

I don't think that's survivable? I'm just imagining some of the space battles...lol.

That's part of the joke. The first scene of Episode IV before Vader boards is a heavy shootout, so you basically just start the film and drink until you pass out.

Lol. Oh, right. I was kind of asking for clarification if tie fighters count, but I guess that's a moot point. I had not thought about the impact of the battle at the start of Ep IV - probably leaves everyone too black out drunk for the rest to matter.

I'm offended.

And at least 9 others as well. I'll drink to that.

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am offended by your offense. Drink to that.

[–] conartistpanda@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The audacity! Let the man be offended asshole. Now im offended too, are you happy?

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

How is that fair? Now I am offended because you were offended at my offense.

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 7 points 1 day ago

Well, take another shot, bud....cause you just pissed me the fuck off!

Alcohol is a harmful substance that destroys numerous lifes every day and shouldn't be gamified!

Guess you gotta drink now!?

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

If you count getting mad at grammar/spelling, I wouldn’t last a minute.

I'm in the picture and I don't like it
