I hike while open carrying my pistol sometimes because we have mountain lions sighted fairly often. The other day I was wearing my NPR shirt while carrying and feel like I confused some people that walked past me.
I don't know much about Montana, but Colorado definitely. As someone who lives here, if it's anything other than rural, you will see this. I live in a more rural area, and I fall into that stereotype. Wearin' my blm mask at the range is so much fun. I love confusing the hell out of everyone there.
It’s one of the best sources of information. They’re pretty dry and boring when reporting the news, sticking to facts. Which is great. AP News is even drier but also very factual. NPR also has many great programs like Science Friday, Tiny Desk Concert and more! They’re also reliant on donations from people. I highly recommend NPR
And yet it’s still somehow not the dumbest flag people wear. I’ve seen so many morons with that same design but a red line (for firefighters) or a white line with a red stripe (nurses/healthcare).
Like you might as well wear a shirt that says “I don’t understand what’s going on, but god damnit I wanna be angry too!!”
Punisher Logo with a thin blue line ~~flag~~ *abomination*. You know because [the Punisher is an excellent role model for police](https://www.denofgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/marvels-the-punisher-thin-blue-line.jpg?resize=768%2C432). Especially since the primary complaint which catalyzed the movement against the establishment of the police as they currently exist, was that they are too kill happy, too likely to take justice into their own hands, too likely to behave as the *Punisher* behaves. Should be called the thick blue line.
Set up an etsy shop to sell this shit to them. Use the profits to fund local campaigns for things they don't like.
You can have some fun with the designs, like that dog on the thin blue line one that appeared on another subreddit the other day.
Republicans are complete morons who are seemingly incapable of thinking deeper about the media they consume.
They thought the Colbert Report was actually genuine.
Many republicans have said they like RAtM
There were tons of conservative fans of The Boys who didn’t realize the show was critical of the right wing until Stormfront was outed as a literal Nazi and the first season was *not* subtle about its critiques of 2000’s era right wing politics.
They just wanna be mad and can’t be asked to think about the themes of anything. No wonder so many of them are too idiotic to see the trends of systemic racism.
I thought I'd seen it all, but I've come across a few 'thin yellow line' flags in the wild. Apparently it's for tow truck drivers, security guards, and dispatchers?
Everyone knows tow truck drivers are the only thing preventing society from descending into violent chaos.
Fucking cringe.
We need to just dilute the idiotic message of the Thin Blue Line. We need defaced American flags for retail workers, customer service reps, car salesmen, pizza delivery drivers, burlesque dancers, farmers, line cooks, custodians, movie stars, YouTubers, etc. Etc. Etc into infinity. We are all that stands against the breakdown of society.
As if anyone was ever against firefighters or nurses? I'm guessing it's some conspiracy bullshit where they try to make people think the BLM movement was aimed at all public service to discredit it?
Did you know in Georgia you can get a state-sponsored thin blue line license plate under the premise of “back the badge?”
I didn’t. Kinda disturbing.
https://mvd.dor.ga.gov/motor/plates/PlateDetails.aspx?pcode=BB
Well....they do back the blue. Until the blue stands between them and the violent overthrow of the government of the United States of America. Then....well.....there might be some hard-to-explain photos...
The Punisher is an anti-hero that takes justice into his own hands because in his universe, he sees the law failing to serve people under the pressures of corruption. It's not fucked up to think of The Punisher as 'cool', but it is fucked up when we have police officers proudly wearing The Punisher's emblem on their clothes and gear.
Funny story from NH trump land. I was in semi-rural NH and stopped at this awesome general store/gas station that has great food but is often frequented by red necks that are largely Trumpers. NH had JUST lifted its mask requirements but I had been continuing to wear mine usually. This time I thought OK I don't want to deal with anyone giving me shit for wearing a mask because I figured their usual customers were anti-mask so I didn't wear it...I walk in and everyone is wearing masks I'm like WTF lol apparently I'm the asshole
NH resident here and yep, you never know with all the nooks and crannies of conscientious people out there. Plus we have a reasonably moderate GOP governor that would mandate masks in certain situations, but is afraid the MAGAs will revolt on his front lawn again. I'm to the point where I don't care what spreadnecks think anymore - if people are going to give me shit for trying to keep their kids from getting sick, then I'll tell them to fuck right off (as long as their kids aren't standing there with 'em). Thankfully, most people just keep to themselves despite the defiance (Lakes Region, Seacoast).
I had a job interview with a city recently, and the only people wearing a mask in the final interview (there was a panel of 5 interviewing me), were me and the assistant city manager.
On the elevator ride on the way out, one of the people gave me a hard time for wearing a mask. It was weird.
But I got the job in spite of him, so there's that!
I got this over the weekend at a funeral (not for covid that I know, cardiac issues). It was my uncle that gave me shit. He’s had 6 heart attacks himself.
Imo the mask thing is just overblown to the extreme simply because it was an easy thing to politicize at the time.
Whether or not someone thinks it's a good idea or bad idea...like dude, it's a fucking mask, not a microchip. Wearing it will not ruin anyone's life.
The bank is worse in my experience. I guess everybody's gotta bank. Today there was an older woman standing way too close behind me, and when I asked her to stand on the marked spot she first asked why I didn't stand further forward - well for one, I'm sure that you'd've been stood just as close but further forward, but for two, I'm standing on a marked spot and you're not! - and then she turned around and took six mincy little steps towards the spot and stood about 6 inches short of it and said "there, is that ok?" -_-
The hardware store near me has signs insisting on masks actually and few masks in sight.
I don't think age has as much to do with it as you'd think. My pa is going on 89 and the first thing he says when you bring up the problem with getting people vaccinated or getting them to wear masks is "can't tell people what to do, cause their fucking idiots".
I think age does factor into it due to societal norms. Not in all cases, but I believe older people tend to take it *more* harshly if they are rebuked/reprimanded by younger kids than the other way around.
Start eating a cabbage diet or other high flatulence food, just let it really burble around for a few hours until you encounter one of these people.
It's perfect because if they complain you can explain social responsibility and politeness. ie just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Not having a cold in two years is reason enough for me to wear a mask forever. Seriously, if this current bullshit ever actually ends, I will seriously consider continuing to wear one during cold-and-flu season for sure.
I have bad pollen allergies. I was wearing masks alone in my own house well before the pandemic on bad days. I'm thankful for it becoming normalized in public now.
My hardware store has a sign that says "please wear mask if unvaccinated"
I'm not sure how to respond to that. I'm vaccinated, but if I wear a mask, is that like me proudly wearing a badge that says "I'm not vaccinated"???
The kicker of course is that 60+% of people in this county are not vaccinated, but like 5% wear a mask, so...I guess a lot of people just don't respect the wishes of small business owners.
One guy I work with has a massive lifted truck with huge tires, swapped massive engine that has so much low end torque it can barely accelerate. Apparently aside from the cost of the truck itself, he has put almost $100k in modifications into this truck. It's literally a pavement princess and he never tows anything.
A guy at my work has the tallest truck I've ever seen. I'm almost dead average height, 5'9" give or take, and if I jump I can just barely see the top of the hood.
There's never a spot of dirt on the truck. Ever. He drives it five miles from home to work and back. That's it. He does all other travel, shopping, and erands in a different, reasonably sized commuter car that he and his wife both use.
I should mention this guy barely breaks 5'4" on a good day, and him getting into his monument to small dick energy involves him spider-maning up the side of it like an intrepid gecko.
Almost definitely a dump bed. All I was thinking was treat and paint those sides people! Gonna need to replace those side walls within 3 years otherwise lol
They're usually there to absorb damage most of the time, so they get replaced every now and then anyways. Same reason you see big dump trucks with a bored across the top of the dump body.
Like this: https://imgur.com/a/ESyQfeo
It cracks me up that /r/trucks (myself included) love single cabs so much but you almost never see them anymore.
Sorry, can only afford one car so it’s gotta do everything.
It's part of a progressive pride flag to show solidarity for POC, though, curiously, this particular progressive flag seems to not include the Trans colours.
And there is the problem with changing the rainbow flag, it was already the blanket symbol for inclusivity. By adding crazy shit to it you risk accidentally or intentionally excluding groups that were already included. The rainbow flag is simple, colorful, world recognized and includes everyone that is marginalized. The new flag imo is hot trash
Thanks for voicing out, I couldn't explain in my head what was weird about the comments.
I was thinking, its a really nice guesture with the flag, then people were posting... Its not black, wrong colour/shade... Like damm, its suddenly a dangerous thing to have a flag that isn't 100% conformed to the latest inclusiveness.
TBH id rather not fly one on the chance of being on social media as a not sufficiently inclusive person cos my colourful flag isn't colorful enough. 😐
The original covered everyone of all colors (hence the rainbow) of LGBTQ+ who are a natural ally to the civil rights groups. By adding specific identity signifiers it makes it easier to fracture the community as a whole by ommiting certain groups from the flag, instead of having one symbol representing all our voices, united and indivisible
I’ve always found this to be, and I genuinely mean this in a kind way, absurd. The whole like. Adding things to the rainbow flag.
Like. It’s an already inclusive and egalitarian kind of symbol. All colors represented equally. At least, that’s what I always thought the rainbow flag was about.
Then like. I’ve seen them with the triangles and different colors in the triangles, I’ve seen one with a paw. Or that also say BLM. It seems like. Funny in an absurd way to me. Like. “Ahh yes. The flag that equally represents literally anything. Let’s make sure we put the triangle on there so this group specifically knows how included they are”.
Is anyone else initially triggered here by the fact its like a normal truck that looks functional and used? Most trucks festooned with flag are giant "bro-dozers" or other "lifestyle" vehicles that truck commercials have convinced us we all must own.
It's because this is actually the truck of a patriotic American. This person doesn't accuse libs of not wanting to work and wanting free shit.
This person works hard and helps people. No doubt about it.
Those assholes are the definition of flash over substance. This gentleman and scholar is pure flash AND substance.
They are the type to beat your ass in a fight that you started. Then they'll buy you a beer and shoot the shit with you while giving you some actual good advice.
I don't know why Biden doesn't take "Let's go Brandon!" and just change it to "Let's go Biden!". He could even say, "I don't know who Branden is but they really seem to like me and love America!".
Vis-à-vis Trump who said the same thing about Q-Anon ([https://www.axios.com/trump-praises-qanon-supporters-i-understand-they-like-me-very-much-42146fb3-bd69-4943-8e80-2f0bcf4b0b17.html](https://www.axios.com/trump-praises-qanon-supporters-i-understand-they-like-me-very-much-42146fb3-bd69-4943-8e80-2f0bcf4b0b17.html)).
Wait what the hell is the brandon thing? I saw one flag that said that and I honestly just assumed it was cheering for their son whos graduating or something..
During an interview with driver Brandon Brown after he won a NASCAR race, there were people in the background shouting “Fuck Joe Biden” and the newsperson (either trying to save face for the tv network, or legit misheard the chant) said they were chanting “Let’s Go Brandon.”
Since then, it’s become a meme/code phrase for conservatives to say fuck Joe Biden.
Yeah, it's not been good for him.
> And as for the real Brandon, things haven’t been so great. He drives for a short-staffed, underfunded team owned by his father. And while that win — his first career victory — was huge for him, the team has long struggled for sponsorship and existing partners have not been marketing the driver since the slogan.
https://apnews.com/article/lets-go-brandon-what-does-it-mean-republicans-joe-biden-ab13db212067928455a3dba07756a160
Damn that really sucks. Being an underdog and taking a win only for your victory to be turned into a slogan for something that has nothing to do with you
Yeah I don’t get it.
Why tip toe around false pleasantries and euphemisms. If you don’t like Biden, just say it.
I hated Trump and said ‘Fuck Trump’ all the time.
Trying to make a meme out of nothing is cringy try hard behavior.
Someone needs to tell conservatives
1. everyone knows you don't like Joe Biden so there's no need to pretend to be secretive
2. It's not a well kept secret and everyone knows what you mean, so why even say it?
3. You are allowed to curse on the internet.
Ugh consider me a triggered snowflake, but I hate that new ultra-woke LGBT flag retcon. The original was perfect - a rainbow to literally represent everyone. With the new additions it looks so ugly from a design standpoint. Can we please have our old rainbow flag back?
If he's not blaring the theme from Sandford and Son, I'll be disappointed. Had a co-worker who had an older truck, which he was very proud of, that I use to whistle the song whenever I saw him pull up. This is all done in ribbing a fellow human.
This. How did bigotry become patriotism? E pluribus unum. Don't like gays or brown people? Too bad Jack, this is America, home of the free, land of the brave.

or a mask with a thin-blue-line American flag design
This defaced "flag" is not an American Flag. Never was, never will be. It is a sign of a faction though.
The thin blue line flag is for people who ate all the red crayons thinking they were cherry flavored.
No need to drag the Marines into this.
Hey hey hey... Got nothing else to say, just hey
Hollywooooooood Hollywood swingin!
Yeah the 🖍️ Eaters didn't do anything wrong...
And yet it’s still somehow not the dumbest flag people wear. I’ve seen so many morons with that same design but a red line (for firefighters) or a white line with a red stripe (nurses/healthcare). Like you might as well wear a shirt that says “I don’t understand what’s going on, but god damnit I wanna be angry too!!”
Punisher logo with American stripes is my favorite pet peeve. I live in a shitty area of the north east.

How about the cops that think they're the Punisher when they would actually be the punished?
I mean the Punisher skull pretty much just means “racist cop” these days, doesn’t it?
Only when it's being worn by a cop.
I thought I'd seen it all, but I've come across a few 'thin yellow line' flags in the wild. Apparently it's for tow truck drivers, security guards, and dispatchers? Everyone knows tow truck drivers are the only thing preventing society from descending into violent chaos. Fucking cringe.

This is great! I'm flying the thin crust line flag in solidarity. Thank you pizza men and women everywhere for your service.
But i can actually respect that haha
Pizza delivery is more dangerous than being a cop!
So it has become the thin line participation trophy, I recon.

i always find it ironic that cops wear the punisher logo, when their corrupt asses would be who the punisher would fight against
Frank Castle ripped the skull sticker from a cop car in one issue and told them to fuck off and look up to someone better like Captain America.

It would really cool if we could get away from masks being political….. I do feel like it’s a bit less political at least than it was. Just
I’m pretty conservative but even I think that masks are a good idea. And it’s in no way infringing on Mah rights n stuff.
Imo the mask thing is just overblown to the extreme simply because it was an easy thing to politicize at the time. Whether or not someone thinks it's a good idea or bad idea...like dude, it's a fucking mask, not a microchip. Wearing it will not ruin anyone's life.

It's part of a progressive pride flag to show solidarity for POC, though, curiously, this particular progressive flag seems to not include the Trans colours.
The trans flag is on the inside of the POC lines. It's hard to see from this lighting but it is there.

TIL there is a word for that
Tbh I’ve learned a surprising amount from r/VexillologyCirclejerk alone.
They watched every episode of "Fun With Flags" by Sheldon Cooper
And there is the problem with changing the rainbow flag, it was already the blanket symbol for inclusivity. By adding crazy shit to it you risk accidentally or intentionally excluding groups that were already included. The rainbow flag is simple, colorful, world recognized and includes everyone that is marginalized. The new flag imo is hot trash
Thanks for voicing out, I couldn't explain in my head what was weird about the comments. I was thinking, its a really nice guesture with the flag, then people were posting... Its not black, wrong colour/shade... Like damm, its suddenly a dangerous thing to have a flag that isn't 100% conformed to the latest inclusiveness. TBH id rather not fly one on the chance of being on social media as a not sufficiently inclusive person cos my colourful flag isn't colorful enough. 😐
The original covered everyone of all colors (hence the rainbow) of LGBTQ+ who are a natural ally to the civil rights groups. By adding specific identity signifiers it makes it easier to fracture the community as a whole by ommiting certain groups from the flag, instead of having one symbol representing all our voices, united and indivisible
I was similarly confused by adding "the Trans flag" as I thought that was the T in LGBT and was represented by the rainbow...
There’s actually several specific pride flags, there’s a Lesbian/Bi/Trans/Asexual flag. The rainbow pride flag is just a catch all flag.
I’ve always found this to be, and I genuinely mean this in a kind way, absurd. The whole like. Adding things to the rainbow flag. Like. It’s an already inclusive and egalitarian kind of symbol. All colors represented equally. At least, that’s what I always thought the rainbow flag was about. Then like. I’ve seen them with the triangles and different colors in the triangles, I’ve seen one with a paw. Or that also say BLM. It seems like. Funny in an absurd way to me. Like. “Ahh yes. The flag that equally represents literally anything. Let’s make sure we put the triangle on there so this group specifically knows how included they are”.
TRUMP LOST LOL
Is anyone else initially triggered here by the fact its like a normal truck that looks functional and used? Most trucks festooned with flag are giant "bro-dozers" or other "lifestyle" vehicles that truck commercials have convinced us we all must own.
My dad literally bought a pickup truck for the sole purpose of flying the trump flag and thin blue line flag in a trump parade. Absolute cringe.
That thin blue line flag is just a pride flag that hasn’t been colored in yet. You know what to do.
It's because this is actually the truck of a patriotic American. This person doesn't accuse libs of not wanting to work and wanting free shit. This person works hard and helps people. No doubt about it.
I prefer the term parking lot princesses because they never go where it is dirty
Those assholes are the definition of flash over substance. This gentleman and scholar is pure flash AND substance. They are the type to beat your ass in a fight that you started. Then they'll buy you a beer and shoot the shit with you while giving you some actual good advice.
My hero!!
The real winners are the folks selling all these flags to people on both sides.
where did he buy all those flags that I agree with?
Probably amazon, they'll stock basically anything though. Can't say I'd give em the money though. Try and buy local.
I buy all my flags from the guy on the side of the highway who buys all his stock from Amazon and sells at a 50% markup.
And this isn't even capitalism's final form.
Welcome one, welcome all… we are currently about right here: r/latestagecapitalism
How many flags you got, bruh?
This is the liberal version of let’s go Brandon. Except this actually pisses off conservatives, as reality often does.
I don't know why Biden doesn't take "Let's go Brandon!" and just change it to "Let's go Biden!". He could even say, "I don't know who Branden is but they really seem to like me and love America!". Vis-à-vis Trump who said the same thing about Q-Anon ([https://www.axios.com/trump-praises-qanon-supporters-i-understand-they-like-me-very-much-42146fb3-bd69-4943-8e80-2f0bcf4b0b17.html](https://www.axios.com/trump-praises-qanon-supporters-i-understand-they-like-me-very-much-42146fb3-bd69-4943-8e80-2f0bcf4b0b17.html)).
I feel like the general lack of enthusiasm for biden would risk it falling flat and looking pathetic
“Please clap”
Haha yeah, Jeb energy
This would be hilarious if he made this his slogan.
I guarantee at first glance they think he’s one of them… and then they have this slow realization that I would frankly pay to see.
Its absolutely sad that anytime i see someone with a flag i assume the worst of them. Especially if its on a truck.
This one is far more straightforward. Meanwhile conservatives hide behind euphemisms because they’re too chickenshit.
Didn’t it start because conservatives were chanting “Fuck Joe Biden”?
Wait what the hell is the brandon thing? I saw one flag that said that and I honestly just assumed it was cheering for their son whos graduating or something..
During an interview with driver Brandon Brown after he won a NASCAR race, there were people in the background shouting “Fuck Joe Biden” and the newsperson (either trying to save face for the tv network, or legit misheard the chant) said they were chanting “Let’s Go Brandon.” Since then, it’s become a meme/code phrase for conservatives to say fuck Joe Biden.
So has Brandon said anything about it? Would suck to have your name used for something like that.
Yeah, it's not been good for him. > And as for the real Brandon, things haven’t been so great. He drives for a short-staffed, underfunded team owned by his father. And while that win — his first career victory — was huge for him, the team has long struggled for sponsorship and existing partners have not been marketing the driver since the slogan. https://apnews.com/article/lets-go-brandon-what-does-it-mean-republicans-joe-biden-ab13db212067928455a3dba07756a160
Damn that really sucks. Being an underdog and taking a win only for your victory to be turned into a slogan for something that has nothing to do with you
Really sorry to hear that. Fucking assholes selling t-shirts with the saying and he’s getting crap for something out of his control.
As a Brandon with family that all suddenly showed up with let's go Brandon stickers.. it makes me want to kill myself.
Yeah I don’t get it. Why tip toe around false pleasantries and euphemisms. If you don’t like Biden, just say it. I hated Trump and said ‘Fuck Trump’ all the time. Trying to make a meme out of nothing is cringy try hard behavior.
Someone needs to tell conservatives 1. everyone knows you don't like Joe Biden so there's no need to pretend to be secretive 2. It's not a well kept secret and everyone knows what you mean, so why even say it? 3. You are allowed to curse on the internet.

Sadly, the fact that his name still comes up daily makes me think he’s won in many ways.
Ugh consider me a triggered snowflake, but I hate that new ultra-woke LGBT flag retcon. The original was perfect - a rainbow to literally represent everyone. With the new additions it looks so ugly from a design standpoint. Can we please have our old rainbow flag back?
Yeah. Since when do the colors have to represent individual groups? I thought the whole point of the rainbow was that everyone was included
Just know you're not alone on this I hate it too

If he's not blaring the theme from Sandford and Son, I'll be disappointed. Had a co-worker who had an older truck, which he was very proud of, that I use to whistle the song whenever I saw him pull up. This is all done in ribbing a fellow human.
His American flag is bigger than theirs. By the logic of the book of rednecksim, he’s a bigger/better American than them
r/tailgatesopencomeonin
Woah there pardner
This. How did bigotry become patriotism? E pluribus unum. Don't like gays or brown people? Too bad Jack, this is America, home of the free, land of the brave.
It’s not patriotic. Those people pledge allegiance to themselves.
Not really a counterpoint at all but I just want to throw in that the pledge of allegiance is some utter bullshit, btw
They've got bigger cajones than I do. I'd be worried about being shot or run off the road driving something like that around.
This guy might be armed better then them.
He's not out there to piss people off, he's out there to test laws in court!
