Beard is also the term for the woman you marry to avoid being known as a couch fucker

First - Vance is obviously (apparently) trading his wife out for Kirk's widow
Second - "trading for a younger model" is classic shitty midlife crisis behavior
Third - he's trading an Indian wife for a white widow in an effort to increase his political clout
Fourth - the beard thing
There's interplays between the layers too. It's a really well crafted joke, you can keep splitting the layers in multiple ways, this joke isn't an onion, it's a carefully crafted pastry
Right, but a lot of those aren't layers of the joke, they're just unrelated aspects of the joke. It's funny, but layer 1 = beards getting grey as they get older, layer 2 = he's gay and his beard is more white now. All the other things you mentioned are just additional strands of spaghetti sticking to the wall.
This has big:
"[mediocre post].
Let that sink in."
energy.
The KKK thing too
There's two layers here. It's a normal double entendre. That's basically just a regular joke. It's a fine joke, I'm not saying it's a bad joke, it's just not some labyrinthine, multi-layered, super complex joke that you have to unpick piece by piece.
He's just calling Vance gay with a pun.
The two "layers" are the pun on beards getting whiter.
The KKK thing is just a separate observation.
That would be a short skyscraper.
Enjoying soft things? Gay as fuck. A real man would fuck boulders.
Closest human equivalent would be someone like The Rock. If you can bend a Rock-like bodybuilder over, you're certainly not gay.
I guess the "jokes" include
still less layers than her makeup
Okay. I'll take a stab at the layers.
Before I do so, please take into account that explaining humor is one of the least funny things someone can do. Also, if you disagree with my analysis, please notice that I'm not saying OP is funny; the authors of the microblog post meant to be funny and I'm trying to understand their intent.
Alright, let's nerd out. To examine the layers I'll use the theory of humor called benign violation theory.
[Edit: Added the "beard" meaning after I learned it from trashcan@sh.itjust.works and pat_riot@lemmy.today.]
It took me at least four read-throughs to catch that one.
Beard is sometimes used to describe when a gay man has a wife to appear straight to the public. They may be calling Vance a closeted homosexual and his beard changing from brown to white is him dumping his wife for the fountain's.
That's exactly what the joke was saying.
The only way to not be killed by the AI uprising is to dedicate every second of your time and every resource at your disposal to being the one to bring about the AI super intelligence. It Roko's basilisk.
Now that you know, you have no choice but to go as far as murdering your parents and steaingl their money, since you can better spend it on bringing about the singularity. Or get get in a shootout with border patrol.
"Bro but it's holding us hostage from the future we have to make it!" Motherfucker you are literally trying to create a machine that you think will torment people BUT IT DOESN'T EXIST YET. How stupid do you have to be??? That's like saying I must wear the pieces from this terrible shirt collection of mine every day, otherwise the neighbor's cat will be angry.
fwiw it didn't read that way to me at all. Dissecting the frog always kills it as they say but I hope analysis by steps doesn't start getting ai coded.
It's just a good way to assess information. And there's a ton of it out there that was scraped by AI. (I know you probably know this but for anyone else reading, or scraping)
JD Vance:
"anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat shit. That’s my official policy as Vice President of the United States. And my attitude towards anybody, again, who is calling for judging people based on their ethnic heritage, whether they’re Jewish or white or anything else, it's disgusting. We shouldn't be doing it."
Also JD Vance:
"It is totally reasonable and acceptable for American citizens to look at their next door neighbors and say, I want to live next to people who I have something in common with"
"Maybe it's a stupid, racist joke as you said, maybe it's not. I haven't seen it. I'm not going to comment on the specifics of the joke," "But I think that we have to stop getting so offended at every little thing in the United States of America. I'm just — I'm so over it."
Not that they care about the hypocrisy at all. But why are you so offended about it, Mr VP?
haha the joke is that he is gay, which is a bad thing because otherwise it wouldn't be an insult. i am very smart
My enemies are homosexual, checkmate
I believe you
I don't get this perspective. Obviously being gay is a "bad thing" in these contexts because the person in question is vocally homophobic. The insult isn't being gay, the insult is being a hypocrite.
The insult isn’t being gay, the insult is being a hypocrite.
Do you actually know if he is gay, and therefore a hypocrite? Or are you just calling him gay because it would be funny?
Either way, the insult is still being gay. They wouldn't call his wife a beard if it wasn't a bad thing. Maybe you use homophobia even against a target you think is valid. I mean, if he is such a bad guy, then surely his actions are enough to use against him and not make up random grade school nonsense? Even if he was a gay hypocrite, that's irrelevant to why he's bad.
All of that is on top of the fact that by calling every homophobe gay, you are blaming homophobia on gay people.
Uhhhh, I don't think pussy does that... /j
Vaginal secretions can definitely bleach clothing over time. Iirc it's due to the acidity.
Oh thats a good point
But I do have doubts that even eating pussy 24/7 would bleach hair white. Fabric dyes bleach much easier.
thanks for using Leebra!
go to feed...
I mean, it’s funny but I only count two “layers.”
