      Right? This tweet feels like it should be straightforward to parse, but the only thing I’ve got is the whole “M&Ms are woke because they made the green one less sexy” kerfuffle from.a few years back.

      Hooters being on the same team as the Bible has me scratching my head!

    I’d MUCH Rather tax my Children to HOOTERS instead of a DRAG SHOW because HOOTERS is NOT SEXUAL AT ALL and Drag Shows are LITERALLY JUST RAPING CHILDREN! Which I’m COOL WITH NOW that Trump said Epstein is a Good Guy but NOT Drag Rapists!

    My problems with hooters are predominantly with the working conditions. A cooperatively owned breastraunt may not necessarily be my thing, but as a leftist and as a feminist sure whatever

    Ah, yes, my Fortnite controller which I use to Fortnite with other Fortniters with my Fortnite console. Is this like a new version of when Boomers used to call anything even tangentally related to video games “a Nintendo”?

    Im not sure hate is the right word, just disappointment. Hooters does kind of suck. Go to a real restaurant or a real strip club. He’s got us.

        I find this interesting but somehow I’m still not sure whether I get it right after reading the article. I don’t know if it’s something wrong with the article or my English comprehension skills. Anyway, here’s what I get from this: so the (grand)parent’s of young gay boys took them to Hooters hoping to reinforce their masculinity and heterosexuality. But the waitresses were so friendly and understanding that they actually ended up reinforcing their real sexual orientation instead. Is that correct?

          That’s correct. They way you said it could have a bad interpretation, but yeah. At the very least, one could say that through their actions they said: there’s nothing wrong with you.

        Yep it means he likes having sex with other alpha males so as to preserve his testosterone. (If your question was serious then no it’s not a furry thing, it’s just fun to make fun of men like this) (also maybe it has a secondary connotation in the furry community that I am unaware of, for I am not a furry or all that familiar with them)

          Nah, wasn’t serious. Can’t claim originality either, someone suggested that as a question whenever someone claimed to be an alpha. I just thought it was funny.

    I went to Hooters the other day, and it was full of dudebros with goatees and MAGA hats holding bibles and loudly going on about how Christian and un-woke they were. Some of them were even holding their bibles the right way up.

    Sucks to be one of the waitresses that night, though, as your tips are going to be those fake dollar bills with a bible verse printed on them.

    This is a dude that was too embarrassing even for the Liberal Party in Australia.

    In 2009, the Liberal Party of Australia threatened to suspend Adams from the party for six months for conduct deemed likely to “embarrass or cause damage to” the party during an altercation with Brett Mason, a journalist for Channel Ten. Mason was filming a report on Adams’ absences from the council due to overseas travel when Adams confronted him, stating, “I would just like to say that Brett Mason is a [expletive] good-for-nothing [expletive]. Thank you.” However, Adams claims he resigned from the party before he could be suspended. Adams resigned from Australian politics in 2012.

    This bit is comedy gold.

    In 2005, as Deputy Mayor, Adams put forward a motion to ban pigeons from the Municipality of Ashfield due to fears of the bird flu, but failed to explain how this plan would be implemented.

    I’m still not sure if it’s all just an act, like a right-wing-nutjob version of Nathan Feilder. He’s kinda fascinating, honestly, in a trainwreck kind of way.

    Every Christian knows that Jesus’ miracle with the loaves and fishes was just a mistranslation, and it really read Wings and Fries in the original Aramaic. So Jesus would approve of going to Hooters.

    Carry on.
