Trinitrotoluene, the explosive?

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underdwelling Demon

See movie : C.H.U.D. or Donnie Darko

This one from 2003 (still copied from UD) is what I'm more familiar with, still an insult, but one more about appearance and demeanor than behavior, and a very different aesthetic than above. Synonymous with "troglodyte".

I have three sets of digital camo BDUs. Two sets of MARPAT, and one of some generic grey "urban" coloration. I didn't find them difficult to source at all. Insulated jackets, though, I don't know about.

WTF, people actually believe comments about old hair color going back from gray to black? Suckers born every minute I guess.

I know things can be counterintuitive with stuff science discovers about diets, like how it doesn't seem that eating high fat/protein should be a way to lose weight (keto). But this seems on par with rogan-bro no fap bullshit of the highest level.

"Oh no, I had some kale and my joints exploded!"

Isn't a "nan doctor" a grandgynocologist?

Or a gerontologist.

Maybe they were being trafficked. Did you call it in?

We need to synergize on Lemmy more, and increase our networking.

On a related note: "I don't see why you'd stop being friends with someone over politics"

Especially these days with what basic human rights have been made political, politics is probably pretty high up there on my list of reasons I'd see in why not to associate with someone.

I found myself using female and male a lot after visiting a certain e621

Using CHUD liberaly for anything you don't like.

I thought it was Cannibalistic Underground Humanoid Dweller?

But what if I do hate everyone?

Hey bozo, it's spelled "counterargument" you absolute fleshbag! 🥏

" I heard you want your county back. no shit me too"

it helps if you read females like tamales.

Insulated jackets, though, I don’t know about

Yeah, that's the one I'd expect to see around, since you know, cheap jackets that go to -40F. I saw quite a few of them in cold parts of China and even Kazakhstan and it made me curious why I didn't remember any in America.

Female is a great adjective but an inappropriate noun.

spe'fy what show (in Dm if you prefer)

A Carnist is a superfan of Minister Carney, no?

good reference

"Mog" is the funniest word this generation has come up with. I don't use it, but I must admit that I chuckle nearly every time I hear it used.

Let's touch base to synchronize at a quick standup lunch, yeah? 👍

Is this a reference to Morlocks?

Controversial maybe, but I think you missed "slop" in regular conversation, specifically hybrid words (see microslop). It's one thing to write about it in an AI thread, but douchey to me if you bend a conversation to it then say it out loud.

I want my country to become what I thought it was when I was a kid, not how it ACTUALLY was.

Gotta always be prepared for the Roko's basilisk eventuality.

Oh man, that's gonna stick in my brain. Great, thanks.

I'm forced to read "spectacles" like a Greek because of a post like this.

That's a good way to put it.

yeah i had a couple people in my life would who talk to you like this and I just stopped interacting with them. It was so obnoxious.

The worst part is they would 'correct' my language to corpo speak. I'd say "oh having a rough couple of weeks you know' and they'd go 'you can't say that, you have to say you are underperforming but plan to compensate in the future'

it was so fucking surreal.

Same here. I've never seen it in the real world.

Politics are an extension of ethics so you kinda have every reason not to associate with someone whose moral compass is all fucked up (and so are their political takes).

I mean, it sounds awesome for a band name or a D&D character.

is it just grammar or just incels ruining that word?

I also find "carnist" to be sort of a try-hard word in regular use, but the other part that SHOULD be said is that choosing to use it is useful for perspective switching. Typically being vegan or vegetarian is a minority position so the language in general basically normalizes omni eating habits. "Carnist" as a turn of phrase makes it possible to shift "normal" to more closely match veganism.

Edit: You basically said this deeper in the thread, oops. Still I'll leave it because maybe more people will see it.

I'm always up for some "drama" as long as that means "yapping about things that aren't as serious as someone I care about dying/suffering something grievous". 🤷

Insofar as any country does, sure. You're right that it seems to be only ever said in reference to Israel by absolute garbage people, though.

English speakers say "American"

how much I hate the euphemism treadmill.

Then you're a misanthrope!

You turn into a Miss every full moon.

Tangent: this is like "is water wet?". Do our veins bleed? There's definitely blood in them.

I tend to drive more when my family goes on trips, while my wife acts as navigatrix.

Then we both cackle while the kids ignore us in the back.

Oh, they're about. I just haven't seen any with modern-ish MARPAT patterns on them, for instance. If you just want an OD green one or something you can usually turn one up. If not truly surplus, one of the milspec manufacturers like Truspec will sell you one for a hundred bucks.

There's an excellent podcast about fashion history and design called Articles of Interest by Avery Trufelman, and she did a season about the deep connections between outdoor wear and military clothing, with a lot of talk about surplus. I recommend it highly!

Do you even grindset, bro

Controversial becomes a goal post for some people. Aiming to have ___ opinions with any adjective other than ones relating to how that opinion is formed (well thought-out, logical, hasty (bad for a different reason)) makes for some of the most vulnerable people among humanity.

I said it very recently, and I'll say it again. People obsess way too fucking much over labels. Labels are a conversational tool meant to briefly describe something. The more you use them to determine how you should act, the more bogus you are. There are a couple exceptions, but aside from children in the developmental stages where labels play a massive role (I'm not a psychologist, someone correct me here if I'm off base), these are always™ because how you are perceived is fundamental to said label, e.g. hero, leader, representative. Please note that I'm not saying labels are never useful.

I'm open to debate on this.

I was telling a customer that he had to wear a mask to enter my place of business during COVID masking mandates, and he got furious and called me a "white privilege redneck libtard" and I'm just astonished at that particular combination of words to angrily shout.

Anyone who uses the word "elevate" seriously in a conversation not about elevators or construction.

That was indeed fascinating. Thanks for sharing it!

If I understand it right it’s basically polishing your external appearance to a high degree. Hair, skincare, etc… but I’ve seen it mostly used to describe people using the technique transactionally. Like incels doing it with the expectation that doing so will result in a girl appearing for them.
