It’s pretty crazy how much conservatives have been taking over reddit lately. They regularly have posts hitting the front page unironically now. Reddit has become a total shit hole
The reddit world spez wanted is coming to be
Gotta suck up to advertisers and advertisers are sucking up to fascists.
yes, unfortunately the forums it replaced mostly died
I kinda miss newspaper boxes, that solid slam they made when you closed them. Haven’t seen one in more than a decade.
You could buy a whole stack of papers for $1!
There’s nothing incorrect in that headline.
political cartoons aren’t really meant to get a chuckle, but that headline did from me. it’s just so ridiculous but true.
That’s a nice touch with the flagpole topper.
We’re posting screenshots of comics now? Not sure what showing reddit adds.
If you are reading this sub then you should know what the purpose of a mirror is
Probably to confirm it was a Reddit post and was locked.
Also gives context of what the comic in question was. It’s just good journalism, really.
This is like the one time an uncropped screenshot is justified, it’s kinda the whole point of the post.
How many posts have you contributed in the over 2 years here ?
Yeah, shut up, and be the change you want to see !
Probably just upset at the inaccuracy of saying half mast and not half staff. It’s only half mast if it’s on a ship.
It’s amazing to me how many people are missing that I’m not being serious. Just light heartedly pointing out the error.
Nope. Half-mast or half-staff would both be correct.
The US flag code makes that specification.
The English language does not. This comic wasn’t produced by the US flag code.
But it is about the flag…
It’s being spoken by an everyday person. That is a term that everyday people use. It makes no sense to take issue with it.
It makes no sense to correct someone when they’re wrong?
If you wish to correct an entire culture against using a common idiom, enjoy your uphill battle. Everybody says half-mast.
yes, the funny textile with graphics that is commonly associated with polls. your point being?
The same one that disallows thin blue line flags? And flags with AI buff trump printed on them? And the president humping a flagpole during a press conference? If they don’t care about it why should you?
Yep, those are all examples of breaking the flag code.
why should you?
I hold myself to a higher standard than those brain dead people. I’m not perfect, but when something is this easy to follow, why wouldn’t I?
Shut up nerd.
NEEEERDS!
Gummy clusters?
The small spar on the bow of a ship is slso a staff, specifically the Jack Staff (or jackstaff). This also means the the U.K.'s flag should only be refered to as the Union Jack (after which the spar was named) when flown on a ship, and the Union Flag elsewhere.
That’s interesting. It’s kind of amazing how many common English phrases are tied to sailing terms.
I like the cut of your jib
I didn’t give you permission to Rate My Jib.
Guerilla jib raters just raided your stream!
Thanks, English is my second language and I never stop to think about it. I was wondering why I would see both sometimes.
People get it wrong a lot of the time is why you see it both ways.
I know you’ve been raised to blindly respect nationalism and that it’s really hard to break out of a mindset you’ve been steeped in, but please be aware that you are wielding a tool of the fascists right now and I don’t think that’s really what you want to be doing.
What are you talking about? I’m not wielding anything. You’re taking a joke based on the flag code way too serious.
