For me it’s saying, “we can’t joke about anything anymore”. Sirens go off immediately 🚨
Self-identified centrists are always well to the right of the actual center
Centrism is an ill-defined concept that loses meaning outside the US
I have seen the word chud used but the context never made it clear what it means.
I view it as the right wing equivalent of a soyjak. A derogatory name (and drawing) for someone who’s terminally online and politically obsessed.
I’d like a definition too, I’m an old dude and don’t get the new fancy words.
well I mean some you can sus out from context and I sorta used that word intentionally because from context I used it like I did above to figure something out but I also have seen it used to mean something is suspect. chud though I have generally just seen it thrown out as some degrogatory noun which is really hard to figure out in context .
Calling them fancy is a stretch.
“I want to eat the people from the surface.”
good reference
Is this a reference to Morlocks?

Full disclosure, I only know it from Rick and Morty
Never heard of it! I do enjoy a B-movie now and again. I’ll see if my library can request this.
“I want my country back…”
Yeah, so did all those places we invaded.
I want my country to become what I thought it was when I was a kid, not how it ACTUALLY was.
" I heard you want your county back. no shit me too"
Anytime anybody tells you “I don’t do drama”, 99% of the time they are the cause of all the drama.
Actually chill people pretty much never bring it up.
For years I avoided TNT for just this reason, always figured it would explode my life
What about people who say that they like drama
I’m always up for some “drama” as long as that means “yapping about things that aren’t as serious as someone I care about dying/suffering something grievous”. 🤷
Either chill “tea” enjoyers or agents of chaos.
No middle ground.
AKA younger siblings, if you’re into the whole brevity thing
Any time anyone starts throwing insults and slurs at me like a Frisbee in lieu of an actual counterarguement
It’s probably because your dumb!!1!
No and see that’s the funny thing. I’ve had people try to call me stupid or the r slur, but like, they couldn’t even be bothered to spell “you are” you’re correctly. That always makes me laugh, because oh the irony!
my favorite is they append the insult as conclusion. they make an argument and claim ‘and if you can’t understand this you’re a dipshit’. and this is their ‘flawless logic’ that shows that you are a dipshit, but definition of the argument they have made…
Hey bozo, it’s spelled “counterargument” you absolute fleshbag! 🥏
“I tell it like it is” Proceeds to be bizzarly racist/ sexist/ homophobic and then gets offended at everyone when they tell them to knock it off.
“Female” instead of woman or girl.
Edit: as in, where “woman” or “girl” would be grammatically correct. e.g. “a lot of females work at that company” vs “a lot of women work at that company” or “that company has a lot of female employees”
Female is a great adjective but an inappropriate noun.
That’s a good way to put it.
is it just grammar or just incels ruining that word?
it helps if you read females like tamales.
Hey, I always do that when it’s used as a noun!
Where’d you get that bag?
Oh, it’s a shemale
Oh man, that’s gonna stick in my brain. Great, thanks.
I’m forced to read “spectacles” like a Greek because of a post like this.
This one has bitten me in the ass. Male and female are incredibly common terms in the medical community, but I try to limit my use of female to work only, if at all. On the plus side, I’ve learned I rarely need to use it at work. It literally only matters if we’re doing a deep dive into what’s potentially going on and need to branch out to figure it out
Although with the distinction between gender and sex continually becoming more prevalent in the zeitgeist, I find myself using the terms “male” and “female” more often than I used to.
I found myself using female and male a lot after visiting a certain e621
spe’fy what show (in Dm if you prefer)
Non-native speakers in shambles. On the other hand, even males are not safe from us
Using CHUD liberaly for anything you don’tblike.

“I’m a patriot!”
Okay so, 1) I wasn’t questioning your patriotism until you said that. And 2) with zero exceptions, everyone I’ve ever heard say that turned out to be a Christian nationalist.
I think “patriot” is one of those titles that should only be given, and that ideally happens to someone who’s done something especially heroic or monumental for their country. I think of myself as patriotic, because I care a lot about my country despite its enormous, gangrenous flaws. I want to help it realize its potential. But to say “I’m a patriot” these days – I agree with you – really only connotes blind nationalism.
“I’m not political” almost always really means “I think Hitler did nothing wrong”
One time I said “oh I don’t get involved in politics” by which I meant, “I don’t organize with any particular party” (which was the context). But I think about that all the time and hope they did not think what I always think when people say they are apolitical.
I’m very political, I just generally prefer non-partisan work.
“I’m not racist, but <insert extremely racist take here>.”
This one can be fun to mess with, just taking it to a completely arbitrary place.
‘I’m not a racist but I had a salad for lunch yesterday.”
“I’m not a racist but at some time later this week I need to take my car in for an oil change.”
“I’m not a racist, but I think Family Guy used to be a lot funnier than it has been recently.”
We used to joke like this because it was such a dead giveaway that someone was racist. We started saying things like “I’m not racist but the weather is fantastic today!” Or “I’m not sexist, but do you think it’s gonna rain?”
Ya that is fun

“Cry more 🤣🤣🤣”.
My man, you might have just hurt my feelings for no good reason, why are you so happy about it?! I’ve only seen it in YT comments, TBF, so they might all just be bots. Hopefully.
The first and easiest is always the
phofaux-militaristic active wear. Its like adidas trainers on a guy squatting. When you know you know. If its an aiport, their bag has just an abusurd number of places to velcro things and a place to put a fake unit patch. Also, chuds mostly travel in packs, so the probability of them actually being a chud increases at a rate of 1- e-1/N chuds per unit area.See also lifted yota’s tacomas with a bunch tac gear, and a big-ol’ floor jack the think they need to carry around., none of which has ever been used, see also the F-350, and of course, the all-to-obvious “one dude in a cyber truck”.
I saw a guy with a military style duffle bag the other day, but it had the words “emotional baggage” on the side of it, and honestly, that passes the vibe check.
Hey! I’ve been wearing camo and pseudo-tactical shit on the daily since long before it became fashionable. It used to be back in the good old days that military surplus gear was the cheap way for broke motherfuckers to get vaguely performant and moreover highly durable outdoor wear, plus it’s always full of pockets. Bonus points if you were also some kind of airsoft/paintball nerd.
There’s an excellent podcast about fashion history and design called Articles of Interest by Avery Trufelman, and she did a season about the deep connections between outdoor wear and military clothing, with a lot of talk about surplus. I recommend it highly!
That was indeed fascinating. Thanks for sharing it!
You betcha!
Do many pockets.
I miss my combat pants. They were comfy by the time I had to give them back, and they had so many pockets.
You remember when the US switched to digital camouflage in the 2000s, then realized it was a terrible idea and switched back?
Any idea why you didn’t see cheap digital camouflage jackets around? Did they just not make to milsurp stores?
I have three sets of digital camo BDUs. Two sets of MARPAT, and one of some generic grey “urban” coloration. I didn’t find them difficult to source at all. Insulated jackets, though, I don’t know about.
Insulated jackets, though, I don’t know about
Yeah, that’s the one I’d expect to see around, since you know, cheap jackets that go to -40F. I saw quite a few of them in cold parts of China and even Kazakhstan and it made me curious why I didn’t remember any in America.
Oh, they’re about. I just haven’t seen any with modern-ish MARPAT patterns on them, for instance. If you just want an OD green one or something you can usually turn one up. If not truly surplus, one of the milspec manufacturers like Truspec will sell you one for a hundred bucks.

It’s working
In no particular order:
- ACU/UCP is pretty irredeemably ugly for casual wear. Maybe it will find a niche following among cyberpunks in 20 years or something, who knows.
- It may still have a connotation to official US Army uniforms that people looking for casual wear don’t want to make. The classic “woodland” camo is far enough removed from this.
It is in basically every surplus store, and it is cheap…because hardly anyone wants it.
They were suplussed very cheaply. They’re just ugly as sin.
i actually saw a guy with someone else in their cybertruck the other day, first time for everything i guess
Maybe they were being trafficked. Did you call it in?
pho-militaristic
You want the French faux, not Vietnamese soup.
I take it pho-militaristic is Vietnam-era stuff.
“Freedom of speech”
Especially when they’re using it as a defense to use racial slurs in a Wal-Mart on a Saturday afternoon.
