A day without stupid?

Irony is dead.

The problem isn't "lie to". The problem is that Islam regards all agreements with non-Muslims as non-binding.

So does Trump.

Yeah. He's as bad as they are.

It's amazing you can say that with a straight face. The IDF has killed more innocents than Hamas since October 7. There is numerical, statistical proof supporting that. But let's kill a few more aid workers whilst we're at it, right?

Why do you think that's even relevant?

Lives? Relevant?

Clearly for you it isn't.

A day without stupid? Today sure wasn't it. The Dept of Ed's daily dose of social media slop was this fascie-looking AI image, supposedly remonstrating Americans for a lack of patriotism, while simultaneously demonstrating that no one on their staff knows what our national flag looks like (It normally has thirteen stripes, for the thirteen colonies that joined our confederation, not fifteen as in this image).

It can't be AI! All the kids have five fingered hands.

They're just ahead of the game.
They're including Israel and Canada.

But that would add stars, not stripes.

You greatly overestimate their attention to traditional details.

Did we win those at the battle of Dulles International Airport in the Revolutionary Civil War?

Also, you are usually supposed to point the kids at the flag before the pledge starts. It's a worship service, not a formal renunciation.

Well, there are at least 61 stars on the flag, so... might be including the entire Caribbean and Greenland as well.

As far as the bonus stripes, I've got to imagine that most MAGA don't know that Maine and Vermont weren't colonies. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on Florida and West Virginia.

And now... so we might learn something... I had no idea. I always thought Vermont on one of the original states to become part of the US, after the Green Mountain Boys helped with the Revolution and got their own state. Apparently, stupid me didn't know Vermont wasn't even part-ish of the US (or at least they thought so) until 1791. They'd join the Union to counter slave happy Kentucky's joining of the nation.

Considering it relevant is what causes it in the first place. You get more of what you reward--and you reward dead civilians in Gaza.

They did consider themselves an independent republic during the intervening decade, but that claim went unrecognized by any other nation. They started petitioning to join the US during the war (ie the second it becane obvious that the colonies had the upper hand) so your perception was not altogether incorrect. They even had partial representation in the Continental Congress, having engaged Connecticut's William Samuel Johnson as a lobbyist on their behalf, pissing off New York greatly.

It's called "mistake marketing" and obviously, it works. And will continue to work, even when people know it's intentional. Why? Fuck if I can figure that part out.
