IMO ACAB is great on a behavioral science level: it sets the anchor/starts the conversation with a statement as an absolute, which the defense then has to find exceptions to. While they do that grunt work, the catchy phrase enables confirmation bias in the fence-sitters and people who already agreed with it.

It’s like starting a barter at an exorbitantly high price so the buyer is primed to offer a price higher than they would’ve before hearing the anchor.

I assure you I only found humor in people personifying a person into “Amber Lamps,” I did not recognize I was laughing alongside others who were laughing for racist reasons centered around poking fun of urban phonetics.

…ok so for this one I was laughing at him thinking he confidently could break his cuffs and people turning it into songs and adjacent memes, I didn’t think at the time about the power dynamics and systemic racism surrounding the incident at the time.

…ok so for this one, um, so that’s MS paint, a chainsaw, and a banned website… yes, ok you know what? I’ll just uh, I’ll see myself out.

Grim Fandango is probably going to be the most accurate depiction of the afterlife if ever there was one.

I can’t believe it was all a placebo this whole time.

If he wasn’t a piece of shit destroying everything he would be pretty hilarious. “Concepts of a plan” still makes me chuckle.

No problem, I’ll just eat less plastic!

Maybe not, but it would be really cool and totally radical! Especially if they double-shaka'd 🤙

I am very interested. I'll look into that, thank you!

Edit from Fossil: We are no longer selling smartwatches.

Phooey!

Yeah that's why I made sure to say "majority," but even that could just be my confirmation bias since the loudest 2A supporters are right wingers; I've never looked into how many left leaning people are also gun-owners but yes, I know they exist (and I have been thinking about becoming one of them).
