One comic that amused me more than it should have shows two crows perched on a branch. The caption is *An Attempted Murder".
Implying that “mods” are all related and form a monophylactic group
They all like the same flavor milk shake?
No, we all have the same artifact we resurrect ourselves from if we’re slain by adventurers.
wow, that’s embarrassing - I stopped typing a word halfway through and finished with a different word.
So THAT is what the mod mugs are for!
You meant to suggest they all share the same postage stamp?
Anyone else think Moonrise might not be quite as liberal as they’re claiming to bein the Define Woke thread?
“I’m a liberal but [standard right-wing rhetoric]” is a tried-and-true approach to trollery, certainly.
(Which is why Joe Lycett’s current “I’m totally right-wing - prove that I’m not” campaign is so freaking hilarious.)
More like “enlightened centrist.” We get that a lot around here.
Not at all: that’s exactly the sort of posting I expect to see from liberals.
“Hello, fellow liberals.”
I feel like I’m missing something here. Liberals as opposed to progressives?
Though probably not a troll
But definitely giving off self-important asshole vibes
Sort of, but (to quote Moonrise without linking):
Could just be spectacular cluelessness, but when you can’t tell the difference does it matter?
Nope, not a blessed difference that matters.
It’s very Lewis Carroll. “When I use a word… it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less”, which is of less use to the rest of us than a pet rock, which at least makes for a decent paperweight.
Yeah, and maybe I’m being overly snarky–but it’s definitely the sort of Lieberman/Carville liberal cavilling I’m accustomed to hearing: “We should favor equality and justice, but let’s not go overboard like the loony left does!”
Ah, got it. Yeah, agreed.
Apparently, this long-time liberal was also a hard-line follower of Islam for over eighteen years, converting just a couple of years ago!
[ quote=" Moonrise, post:180, topic:981220"]
It so happens that I converted to Islam over 20 years ago. I lived day in day out with Muslims for 18 years and that includes my ex-wife, our daughters, her family and absolutely all of her friends. I have spent several extended stays in Muslim-majority countries, living alongside the locals. I spent over 2 years taking religious classes and used to* be able to recite about 25 suras by heart. I prayed 5 times a day and fastened on Ramadan. I’m willing to bet I know more about Islam from first-hand experience than 90% of you guys here.
*I’ve since left the faith.
