Any time you see a politician ranting about DEI, replace it in your mind with the n-word. That’s what they’re really saying. No, it doesn’t matter that people of any race can use it; Republicans have spent the past 6 decades cementing the idea of public projects and vilified racial minorities being inherently linked.
N-word bike lane doesn’t make any sense unless there’s a separate Whites bike lane…and as much as these fucks would love to bring back Jim Crow and segregation, I really don’t see them putting in a bike lane just for the whites, let alone one for the blacks.
They’ll put in a special lane for rollin’ coal on the interstate before they do that.
That’s what the entire second half of my comment was about. Public transit isn’t segregated by law either, but the unashamed racists will tell you they don’t take it because it’s for black people. Atlanta’s metro service, MARTA, has been pejoratively called ‘moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta’ since before a lot of people on here were born. They incite racial hatred and then rhetorically link social programs and racial minorities to make racists more okay with having programs that benefit them cut. This is why food stamps went from one of the most supported to one of the most vilified, politicized welfare programs.
but neither does “DEI bike lanes”
Tf is Boot-edge-edge? I can’t keep up with idiot name calling conventions.
Buttigieg.
It took me way too long to figure that out.
Thank you for that. I’m appreciably dumber now.
Yeah but like, what’s the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.
“Boot edge edge” is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.
Like preschool level shit.
Probably couldn’t spell it correctly, and copes by pretending he’s owning a lib.
and Bootyjudge was right there
This is not a demographic known for its witty rhetoric.
It’s what some McKinsey guy, who will sadly be president some day, thought (so profoundly prematurely and presumptuously) that we stupid rubes could use, and more importantly, would actually give a shit to use, suddenly, to talk about this McKinsey guy that we all love.
Because, you know, all we know are words like boot and edge. We have never even heard if IPA or a dictionary or anything more than one-syllable words.
You just know this douchebag workshopped the shit out of his own name’s ‘idiot-proof’ pronunciation for like, 400 hours per year of his like 70,000 hrs + overtime + over-overtime per year at McManageTheWorld Inc (And also totally ruin it, see the book When McKinsey Comes to Town)

Yeah McKinsey is shit.
But wtf is this shit. Are you ok, dude? You think he workshopped his last name? And what he decided on was “Buttigieg”? What?
No, i was joking, poorly I admit, that he workshopped the pronunciation, so boot-edge-edge, not Buttigieg, was what was ‘workshopped’ and “what he decided on”, to answer your question…
because these are the world’s most cynical people at McKinsey, who workshop everything and make the whole world ‘plastic’ and fake and “optimized” and “streamlined” and so on.
It’s just, who does that? It reeks of a politician being “annointed” overnight rather than emerging on the stage naturally, where word of mouth would easily make it a non issue. If you have to tell everyone, again and again, how to pronounce your name, maybe you just don’t have the juice or whatever.
I don’t think, Idk, Kucinich, for example, went all over telling everyone constantly “it’s Coo-sin-itch!” It’s coo-sin-itch!”
Or Mike Krzyzewski, “hey my name is pronounced shi-zeff-ski! Shi-zeff-ski!”
Buttigieg is probably just used to like, showing up one day at supermarket chain HQs or whatever with his “deck” of slides, meeting people for the first time ever right before recommending cutting 40% of all jobs there, and listing all his Ivy League credentials and how to pronounce his name on the previous slide. Nobody knew how to pronounce his name because yes it’s unusual but also because he’s parachuted in and immediately automatically “matters”
Yes, I have a big problem with this guy. 😅
he sounds like an edgy teenager and he’s in control of billions in tax money. I miss a world without xitter.
The world would still be violently controlled by brainwashed chuds regardless of whether xitter exists or not.

Its like all the stupid “Lets Go Brandon” nonsense because they are all too much of a bunch of pussies to just say “Fuck Joe Biden.”
Guess what, Fuck Trump.
See, its easy, I don’t need some clever bull shit because I am not some softy ass coward.
Please do not fuck trump. There are not enough antibiotics.
Outrage tourist grifter “Ranting for Vengeance” is trying his best to bring back “gay and retarded”.
If you happen to run into anyone in your social circles who choose to use those term. Ask them to actually define them, yet to meet a single one who can.
It’s called a bi-cycle for a reason ;)
The lanes were made out of black tops!
Wow, you all are on fire today. Well done.
Diversity of transport modes
Equity in infrastructure quality
Inclusion in transportation planning
Support our pollutionarily-challenged cyclist friends! Not everyone is able to make a mess of the environment equally!
Maybe if they really, really oil their chain a whole lot?
rolling coal for cyclists: attach a pot of crude oil dripping onto your chain and splatter that shit everywhere.
Fantastic idea!
Only if you also had a sprayer to apply it to the shiniest diesel trucks you see.
How are we still doing climate change denial in $current_weather?
Oh come on, snake_casing when you could have made it look like an
$ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE?The casing is not important here because, no matter how you write it the “current weather” always is an ENVIRONMENT variable ;)
People don’t want you to know this but you can make env vars lowercase now.
Not in my style guide you fucking can’t
curlaccepts variables in uppercase and lowercase. if both are set, lowercase takes precedence.Except in OS’s that don’t have case sensitivity, i.e. DOS- and NT-based systems.
Blasphemy!
Burn the infidel!
It has been unseasonably cool where I live. We’re talking low 80’s, 26-ish celcius.
Weather is very hard to conceptualize for us monkeys. It’s very easy for someone who never needs to stay in one place to have a completely incorrect perception of what weather or climate actually is. People who do stay in one place seem to struggle with it, that should tell you what you need to know.
It has been unseasonably cool where I live.
Ok, but I’m assuming you’re not a total idiot who extrapolates from local weather?
No, but my Trump voting office trog sure does. Never misses a chance to point out oddly cool weather, as if it somehow means climate change is not real.
Is it also very hard for monkeys to look at graphs? They don’t seem to have trouble with it when it’s in service of screwing us out of money
When you’re asking them to look at graphs or the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over — yes, yes it is very hard.
I’m not justifying or excusing their behavior. I’m just explaining it.
the obscene wealth they can gain from screwing others over
People are not becoming obscenely wealthy from hating on bike lanes. They’re just brainwashed morons.
People are absolutely becoming wealthy off of climate change denial, driving hate towards bike lanes is absolutely a part of that.
It’s all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.
petro-masculinity
That’s a new term for me, thanks. Been seeing a lot of that recently, and I had a thought: my EV and solar panels aren’t just about the environment, they’re independence. I can make a kilowatt-hour with stuff I have at home. I cannot make a gallon of gasoline with stuff I have at home.
Same. Solid vocab day for me.
Are people allowed to pit Truck Nuts on their EVs?
Also Pretro Masculinity describes exactly why I could not handle watching Landman. Because that show was basically that mindset distilled into TV. Frankly, everything by Taylor Sheridan kind of falls into that bucket.
DEI is everything I don’t like. Same as woke.
Why do republicans insist on waking up from sleep every morning?
Waking up is super woke.
Real TRUE PATRIOTS go to sleep once, and stay that way forever, to own the libz.
New Mitch McConnell spin just dropped
“I just stole 1.7 billion dollars!”
That’s all I’m hearing
Its a DEI bike lane because you didn’t earn it. You earn a lane by taking on $80,000 in debt to buy a F350.
Instructions unclear, I’m now stuck in the bike lane with my F350
Boot-edge-edge
…What the fuck is this? An insulting name for Buttigieg? Stupid.
That’s how Pete’s 2016 campaign presented it phonetically when people were still unsure how to pronounce his name. Not much of an insult but nobody has ever accused this administration of being clever.
A bad one at that. Come on Booty-judge is right there.
Thank you for figuring it out, I was stumped.
imagine being proud to be such a bigoted piece off shit. Holy shit.
