Hm. I always thought it meant “Quite [something else] true.” ---

Yeah, I probably know what it stands for - nothing still clarified whatsoever. ---

I thought it meant Quantum Field Theory. Ya know, the post was both there and not there… “Schrodinger’s post.” ---

I’ve always been able to figure it out in context but the first time I saw it my _initial_ thought was that it meant the completely opposite meaning and that it stood for “Quit [that other word] trolling.” ---

Good grief, it’s just absurdist humor. It’s funny because it means nothing. “Post deleted.” “Ah, very true! That post was deleted!” ---

[You have to be Kidding me.](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/kid-rock-blames-donald-trump-172402305.html) > [@](#): > > In an interview with Fox News Digital, Kid Rock said his relationship with [Trump](https://www.mandatory.com/celebrities/1869620/trump-kid-rock-michigan-civil-war-warning) affected his access to corporate partnerships and entertainment opportunities. > > “My relationship with Trump, yeah, that canceled all the, uh, any corporate deals coming my way,” he said. “I don’t really get invited to be part of, you know, things like the NFL or things like that.” > > The musician also claimed that invitations to late-night talk shows largely disappeared after he became more vocal about politics. > > “All the shows that I was so friendly with over the years, from all the late-night talk shows to my friend Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, I don’t really get invited on there anymore,” he said. I’m not sure this is Schadenfreude if he expected it. At least he says now he expected it. ---

But who cares, right? He can get on any Turning Point USA TV special he wants to, which is what people really want to watch, so his career should be taking off like a rocket. ---

One of the funniest put downs of Trump I’ve heard in a while. > **[Obama describes Trump as an agent of ‘chaos and cruelty’ in midterm elections...](https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/obama-trump-chaos-cruelty-midterm-election-pitch-acton-ramaswamy-rcna605223)** > > The former president also criticized Republican Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad featuring the estranged mother of Amy Acton, his Democratic rival for governor. > Obama added a moment later: “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-perfectly-reasonable-amount-of-schadenfreude-about-things-happening-to-trump-his-enablers-part-3/1013175.md?page=250)
