    (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”

        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.

        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.

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

    Guess you gotta drink now!?
