Thanks for cutting out the prejudicial judgemental crap the article opened with, OP (even if you did leave in the anti-trans bullshit). Conservatives make me hate them with a passion that increases all the more virtually every day.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

Another visual dad joke…


Trump’s sycophants truly can’t think anything through, can they? It’s no wonder he surrounds himself with them - they’re incapable of showing him up.


So, what’s your alternate username from lemmy.ml?
“I reject your reality spider web, and substitute it with my own!”


Thanks for that (believe it or not, the effort actually is appreciated), but you do realize my comment was a joke, right? That’s why I said “lighten up” - it was for those too serious to recognize it as such.


As i was saying… *sigh*


She really dancing, tho? Looks a bit to me like she’s about to assume the position to take a pee or dump.
Yes - I know I’m crass and ignorant. Lighten up.


Okay, pants-shitter is a bit unfair - we’re almost all likely going to start having bodily malfunctions by that age.
But the rest? Hear, hear!


Unlike in the past, there are a million and one ways to avoid reality nowadays (heck, I’m doing so by spending time here). That, and the fact the bulk of the angry gun-owning types are on the MAGAt side of the isle. This crash is going to be like none before, so it’s impossible to make predictions (beyond any obvious ones) on what will happen.


Well, that’s shitty…


Browncoat me takes issue with that…


Shh! That’s how we’re tricking them into showing up!


I’m afraid it’s far too late for that. You think things are bad now? You just wait. Shit’s gonna start getting extremely ugly when the massive house of cards that is the current US economy starts falling down - which I personally would normally peg to start happening in earnest by early next year, but with Trump deliberately destroying the very source that would let us all know the numbers behind what’s actually going on in the economy all bets on timing are off. The longer it gets put off, the worse it’s gonna be, however.


That’s too kind, they deserve to be the victims in a slasher flick.
Or just put them on a Star Trek set wearing their favorite color.


More like anything but MAGAt ones, with Cheeto Gawd at the center of everything.


That’s easy. The people who would hide this are the very control freaks who have already achieved extreme wealth. They are exactly the type that would want to keep something that powerful strictly for their own use, because becoming the richest, most powerful person on the planet would be inevitable once they are the sole immortal being.


I’m really starting to think many of them don’t believe the lies so much as just not having the intestinal fortitude to face the embarrassment of admitting they were wrong or easily duped. After so many of their prophecies’ expected due dates pass them by without coming to fruition, deep down they have to know the truth eventually - it’s the idea that they’ll be mocked mercilessly if they admit the truth that they’re afraid of.


Geez, and here I thought I was being pessimistic. Thanks for the new verb, tho!
Hopefully, they’ll ban you for being anti-SJW.
