    Could have done without the Elon comment just so I can avoid thinking about that choad for 5 minutes on the internet

      I think that was part of the humor intended. Because it was spelled with a lower case m, which (ignoring the author’s possibility of mistakes) means it was referring to the smell and not the person.

      Tbh Europeans of the start of the nineteenth century had this too, but with Napoleon.

      Who was turned away for losing and putting hundreds of thousands to their early grave. And then the king came back and they were like ‘oh this Napoleon guy wasn’t so bad after all.’

      And then Napoleon lost again, got exiled and again the king retuned, people became so desirous of late Napoleon again that they elevated his nephew to emperor.

      So you can say at least that however bad technocrats are, kings seem to be worse, by a margin.

      Same. I’ve filtered out a lot of keywords in my feed and I hate that it still comes up in screenshots. I’m just so tired.

      While I understand the sentiment, I have to disagree.

      This is nearly perfect comedy, Without the final redirect it’s just a rant about Fake Plastic Trees

      Seconded. Also as regards the perfume kind of musk, if I wanted to fuck a civet I’d fuck a civet.

      (I wouldn’t because civets can’t consent. So I guess there’s a place for musk perfume: for frustrated civetfuckers.)
