So you started the load again, and then forgot again.
That explains why you smell.
It’s flattering you think that’s the reason I smell.
My brother. 2 days is really good. A week is normal. Yes it pisses me off!
So… for those of us who were adults on 9-11, this format is disturbing.
For those of us who were in middle school on 9/11, this is hilarious.
Yeah — I get it.
Eh, I was, and I am undisturbed. I honestly find it incredibly hard to believe that any 40+ year old netizen could find any meme format actually disturbing.
If you lost your parents on that day too, I think you’d find it disturbing as well.
That is true, I likely would. But I would know that internet meme formats are cross-platform and freedom of expression dominates the internet as a whole over other priorities. So, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it, and it wouldn’t be a great idea to try.
Oh wait… so I don’t have the same freedom of expression because I was orphaned on 9-11?
No, just have enough life experience to know when using it makes any sense.
The level of self righteousness here is through the roof.
Life experience: in one day I received more than you ever possibly will. And I pray you never go through what I went through.
Consider me othered.
Othered from what? Liberal democracy and freedom of speech? Good luck.
Yes, it is disturbing that asshole was president.
He stole that election fair and square.
It’s been over 22.3 years; we’re allowed to laugh about it now.
Let me know when your parents get murdered by terrorists and I’ll find it funny too, okay?
The real terrorists are the ones who went into the Middle East after 9/11
Yeah — that makes sense.
Seems like you’re being sarcastic. Would you like to elaborate how 45,000+ civilian deaths in Afghanistan wasn’t an act of terror?
Actions have consequences.
Ok yup you’re actually just an asshole. Good to know the people who are offended by 9/11 jokes are people who I would prefer to offend.
Please name the Afghani people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Unless you think those consequences should be killing people who had absolutely nothing to do with it. 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Shouldn’t the consequences have involved Saudi Arabia? As someone who was orphaned by Saudis on 9/11, shouldn’t you be upset that we went to war with Afghanistan and not Saudi Arabia?
Sure thing. It’s not society’s job to tiptoe around your trauma. That’s for you to deal with.
Wait… no trigger warnings ever? Awesome.
You’re like a snake enjoying a dessert of its own tail.
I was an adult on 9/11. I am an American. I watched the second plane hit live on TV.
Bush being told that it happened and sitting there like the moron he is for a long time before excusing himself is not part of the tragedy. It is absolutely something to be mocked. And this is funny.
I was orphaned on that day. It’s not funny for me. But I think it’s okay it’s funny to you. But I think if our positions were reversed you wouldn’t find it quite so funny.
Did you read what I wrote? Because I don’t think you did. The only reason I can think of that you would find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 offensive is if you voted for him. And if you did, I think we can disregard what you have to say.
I hated him with a passion every single day throughout his entire tenure. Hanging Chad’s?? I opposed the opportunistic invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq so hard I was literally photographed by newspapers.
Smug, self-righteous, and wrong in every way — you have a litmus test for humanity that smells like the mutual admiration society.
I have literally been pepper sprayed my cops at protests against fascism since then.
How dare you.
Honestly, stranger in the internet, you have zero fucking idea.
Hey, it’s not my fault you are castigating people for mocking George W. Bush. That’s what you’re doing and that’s how I dare.
It’s a meme because it’s an iconic moment.
It’s not a person. That’s the whole point of memes.
Sorry to school you in this, but one again, you are wrong.
I’m pretty sure George W. Bush is, in fact, a person. And yes, it was an iconic moment. An iconic moment of George W. Bush acting like an idiot and an asshole. Why you think he deserves to be protected from being mocked I don’t know.
If you have sensitives, you should work through them on your own or in counseling. Maybe you’re not ready to view memes/jokes like this one, it’s okay to keep scrolling without sharing your personal trauma. I appreciate your perspective but it is very unique.
Are you ready to view one in which the body of Mathew Shepard is shown dangling from the fence with the words: me at the end of a very hard week
If the majority of people would react a certain way, that’s the social norm. Your personal reaction to seeing Bush’s face on 9/11, after 22 years, is just not the norm, nor anyone else’s responsibility. This is not a graphic image, and it was not addressed to you specifically.
So… the majority of people in the South of the USA are racists, fascists, Magaheads. Should we consider that the Norm?
No?
So we cannot use the tiny sample of Lemmings as a norm. Just saying.
Norms aren’t right/wrong. You are on lemmy viewing this image, that’s your population. And that’s what you should be considering when offering your perspective.
You’re being so heavily downvoted because people here don’t agree with you. Not that anyone is right/wrong.
