Is there a term for humor that is ruined by terrible grammar and diction?

Also, the native ‘princess’ thing is an extremely tired stereotype.

Oh it’s a term linked to that industry…

…It’s tangentially related to the porn industry, but primarily, it is also the actual medical terminology many are probably more familiar with, so still wouldn’t be a great idea even in that context. (You get a pass if English is not your first language, otherwise, it should be fairly common knowledge.)

Crazy, how in the heck did he spin that to make himself look good?

There’s just absolutely no way that the money free world they describe is good for everyone.

Can you elaborate, please? In a hypothetical future where money doesn’t exist and technology has granted everyone the means and freedom to pursue their own interests (as long as those interests aren’t harmful to others, of course), I’m having difficulty understanding why that wouldn’t be amazing. Maybe not perfect, but vastly improved over what we’re stuck with now.

But since it is worded so poorly, you can just as easily assume the other interpretation is correct as well, e.g., it’s ‘the most important thing’ because not voting will ‘send a message’ that Republicans refuse to participate in a ‘broken election system’. He also said ‘will not be voting’ instead of potentially making the message clearer with different wording like ‘will not be able to vote’, so that makes not voting sound like an intentional choice Republicans should make.

I admit my reading comprehension could be off, but that is about the dumbest, most confusing way to word a statement that is so potentially contentious. My interpretation was that he said if the ‘election fraud’ is not ‘resolved’, Republicans won’t bother voting because they will assume it is rigged. The ‘election fraud’ has not been ‘resolved’ (because there never was any), hence, Republicans should stay home.

The number of unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2022 (11.0 million, and the most recent year we have complete data for) was still below the peak of 12.2 million in 2007.

Now, migrant encounters (i.e., at the border) are at their highest levels in recorded U.S. history (249,735), but still not far removed from the previous peak in 2000 (220,063).

The fluctuations over time may have less to do with whatever border security/immigration policy an administration has in place at a particular time, and more to do with how other countries are performing relative to us (i.e., when things are shitty in other countries, we receive more immigrants, and vice versa). And like others in this thread have mentioned, any strain on the economy unauthorized immigrants exert is a drop in the bucket compared with other factors.

So, no, there is not a sudden “ridiculously high” wave of immigration recently. It is fear mongering and you are buying into it. This is also not to say unauthorized immigration isn’t an issue at all; it clearly has been trending upwards considerably since 2017. It is an issue, just not the behemoth that the GOP is making it out to be, and most certainly not the primary (or even secondary) cause for our economic woes.

Thank you, I had to scroll way too far to find a Morning Glory reference.

The Sticky Bandits, lol!

Don’t they all essentially require internet access to be ‘smart’? I have a LGTV (with WebOS, an app store, etc.) that I basically treat as ‘dumb’ by leaving it disconnected from our network.

Right? Everyone knows the correct plural form of “pokemon” is “pokemons”.
