I couldn't really care less about Wolfenstein or the political views of its developers, but I think it's hardly unreasonable to interpret the play on Trump's slogan as an insult to his supporters. 
Saying "oh that's not what was meant, haha look at these total snowflakes interpreting it that way" seems like a bit of a cop-out.


Maybe it's different in the States, but down here the left cheerfully dubs anyone with a remotely conservative (or even centrist) viewpoint a "nazi". 
Like, they'll rock up at wholly unrelated rallies/protests to strike up a chant of "nazi scum off our streets", a phrase which is also featured liberally (no pun intended) on their posters/fliers for just about everything. *shrug*




Edit: oh dang, a new page.
Well, in a new and unrelated WTF that I've been meaning to post, I've used the phrase "come a cropper" since I was a kid without once realising how bizarre it looks in writing.
It wasn't until the other day that I went to use it in a post or comment somewhere and thought, hang on, how do spell that? What does it even actually mean?!

Come to think of it, I never got around to looking into its etymology.

Out of curiosity I found this, to help with entomology, it has something to do with falling off of a horse

So apparently putting a sign on your franchise restaurant door saying children should behave or risk removal, where behave is defined as "keep food on trays and butts in chairs", is deemed so offensive that the corporate office issues a public apology and reprimanded the store manager.

Holy crap, asking people to be civil in a restaurant is now offensive? I mean I guess how I can see how that sign would be a little over the top, since kids can be pretty unruly, but not offensive.

Anything can be offensive if you want to talk to the manager badly enough.

People who can't distinguish between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I cannot put into words.

Interesting! Yeah, apparently it (and "head over heels") was derived from "neck and crop". That's pretty cool.

My first instinct was to grab the nearest torch and/or pitchfork and chase you into the Terrible Jokes thread, but honestly that is amazing.

No it isn't; you're down near the bottom of the last page. Clearly.

Sorry about this, I meant to type etymology but forgot to check before posting

[Mephisto]

It's all in good fun.

I ate a shitload of polenta (mayyyybe I shoulda checked the number of servings on the recipe...) and now I feel denser than dark matter.


Also I copped a day-long mute in a supposedly chill vegan food group I'm in on Facebook for some petty reason, courtesy of a coupla power-tripping admins.

So not very dense then?

Back when I used Facebook, I came upon a conversation about butchering animals, (a homestead Facebook group) and some vegetarians/vegans were in the chat. I remember having to explain that humans are animals too and thst some animals get energy from meat thst plants just simply don’t have. People thought I insulted them by saying humans are primates, despite the fact thst humans are indeed primates. People are dumb.

Have had the smell of maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal stuck in my nose for like the last eight hours or so.

Like, it's not a bad thing -- would all of my days smell basically like pancakes -- but it's definitely somewhat disconcerting.
