my partners father forced her to never drink from a straw because it was "too effeminate for his son." she's still trans 😂

Maga men don't use a straw, they suck vanilla shake off of an erect penis. In a closet. Because that's where most of them are.

That's also where they keep their AR stash

When the milkshake thing got discussed on Seth Meyers, his team also found a picture of Trump and Bill O'Reilly drinking shakes with straws together at a Yankees game

They can call themselves a news channel all they want. Anybody with more than two brain cells to click together knows that they're just a propaganda arm of the Republicans. It's been that way since day one. Thanks Murdoch.

How the fuck else are you supposed to drink a shake? One scoop at a time with a spoon? Slurp it straight from the cup?

Or is ice cream just no acceptable for men altogether?

[–] rothaine@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The real issue is that it was vanilla. Vanilla = white, and white = jizz.

Now if it's cookie dough, that's manly, because it takes real suck strength (like a Dyson vacuum cleaner) to be able to slurp up those nuggs through a straw.

a true man can suck a golfball through a garden hose

Men aren't supposed to suck on things, only blow.

Anything that cannot be made in a fire is only fow wittle wittle girls!

What are you, gay?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Because not a psychopathic pussy pretending to be a decent man like they all are

[–] indepndnt@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago

Why would we even listen to this Ross Gellar-looking ass about masculinity anyway?

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Trump drinks water from a glass with two hands like golem clutching the ring, what a weird beta cuck loser

"Women hate Tim Walz, thats why we have to spend a 30 minute segment figuring out how to be more like Tim Walz"

erm i'm a woman and i don't like masculinity

These idiots are too stupid and brainwashed to even bother checking to see if there is an easily found rebuke to their bullshit.

Complain about a tweet, it's trivial to find three similar tweets made by Trump. Complain about using a straw, immediately find a photo of trump doing the exact same thing.

There isn't a single brain-cell reserved for wondering whether or not the bullshit they say will or will not immediately be found out to be pure hypocrisy.

It's almost impressive.

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 3 points 4 months ago

The truth is that they know all this, they just don’t care.

Politicians of the centre/left don’t tend to attack conservatives in this way, so the end result is a lot of noise about how bad one side is, regardless of whether their guy does it too. The noise is what they want, because it engenders uncertainty.

All of this is just kinda funny though. They have fuck all of substance on Walz.

[–] exanime@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Somebody whose standards are much lower than mine, or alternatively, whose bravery is much more higher than mine to still hold a Twitter account, should Tweet this at Walters, Fox, Trump and whatever other high profile MAGA idiots around

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I prefer milkshakes that didn't get captured

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Oh so the party of incels now knows exactly what straight chicks are into?

Who the fuck doesn’t drink a milkshake with a straw?

Are all these strawless non-gay heterosexual manly men walking around with milk mustaches like 5 year olds? Is this what women are into?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 8 points 4 months ago

Who the fuck doesn’t drink a milkshake with a straw?

Weird people.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

No, these strawless, non-gay, heterosexual, manly men are just like me. They were handed a spoon, but not a straw in the drive through and they decided to just drive off rather than bother or inconvenience someone, even though it wouldn't be a bother or inconvenience, it's the person's job, and they'd be happy to help. I am married though, so while I wouldn't say my wife is specifically attracted to that brand of social awkwardness, she's not entirely repulsed by it.

I really prefer my milkshakes at the level of 'the-straw-barely-closes-when-you-suck-so-you-gotta-use-a-spoon' but not to the firmness of ice cream itself.

So... me?

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I feel comfortable answering that last question!

No

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 4 months ago (3 children)

We need to pass legislation that enforces standards around the use of the word "news." We could wipe out a number of media hacks just with that.

[–] BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I agree with the sentiment, but I always worry about the extreme 100 years from now

I could definitely see a corrupt government using that legislation to eliminate any news agencies that speak against them

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Fox news was brought to court over fake news. They lost and had to pay 6 months of revenue. But their argument in court was not that they didn't have fake news, but that they are an entertainment channel, not a news channel.
