Ay guey I fucking love this, but not $60 love it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ouch. That's how much it costs? Yeah, I don't blame you. You could probably get it made custom for $20.

I can spray paint this on several walls for $5

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I encourage you to do so (but I hope you don't get caught)!

Fucking brilliant.

I am reminded of the Mexican dude I used to work with who was a huge Trump supporter and would refer to other Mexicans as wetbacks and say shit like "send them back." Always had me like "bro, you know he'd deport your ass, too, right?"

There are a surprising number of Latino Americans who are pro-Trump who don't seem to realize what will happen if Project 2025 is implemented and they're out somewhere without the "proper" paperwork.

I've been able to convince a few of them to not vote for the orange asshole by passing them along this pic and link to Project 2025's PDF. All it took for one was the mention of abortion rights being curtailed to change her opinion. A lot of people don't bother learning about policy and that just makes them gravitate toward whoever appears to be "strong" or "righteous".

Not to mention that these pro-Trumpers can't even vote.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Plenty of them can. They just don't realize what will happen to them if Trump wins and they happen to get on the wrong side of a cop who doesn't like how brown their skin is.

That's fair. Personally in the 4 years he was president I was terrified he would come out with something that would force me out of my job and thus out of the country. (and he nearly did, I wasn't allowed to work for 3 months at one point.)

Didn't understand everything but "no mas naranja" was funny

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Chinga tu MAGA: Variant of Cinga tu madre, "fuck your mother"

Pendejo: asshole, dickhead, dumbass. SUPER versatile personal insult.

No mas naranja: no more orange

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Thank you! Google translate was not helpful

I've always heard pendejo as "idiot" but ruder.

"Fuck you, MAGA assholes*. No more orange 2024."

*pendejo, as a slang word, is not directly translatable but the equivalent of 'asshole.'

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (4 children)

I always thought pendejo was similar to dickhead. I first remember hearing it in GTA San Andreas and I think they had a translation in the subtitles. I think. It's been a minute.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I also first heard it in San Andreas. The way I remember it, one of the Latino gangsters calls you or big smoke a pendejo and I think the guy responds with "who are you calling a dickhead?!" Or something.

So it gets translated, but indirectly, which I think is cool.

Yeah, it's "dickhead/dumbass/asshole" but not as offensive.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

It's generally translated as "asshole," most commonly in a phrase like "¡chinga tu madre, pinche pendejo!" meaning "fuck you, asshole!"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Is there a functional distinction between "asshole" and "dickhead" that I've never been familiar with despite being a native English speaker?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Assholes are shitty people, and dicks fuck other people.

Thinking about it, I feel that a dickhead does dickhead things more randomly, but an asshole does asshole things for a reason, on purpose.

Like a dickhead may fuck things up for everyone, whereas asshole fucks up things for other people.

Just my thoughts.
