A rare funny from them.

ahhh, the "conservative who identifies as a comedian mk8 the same joke 50 times" version of the onion?

why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page

[–] [email protected] 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Memes are memes, why are you subscribed to a meme page if you don't like memes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Some is us browse subscriptionless and just use the All function, you know.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well then there's the answer to "why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for explaining! That makes sense.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Your welcome! I'm always happy to help!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Because they cannot/don't want to read. Or they just don't care

Right-wing version of The Onion.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Wait.... So their version of a joke is to.... Make a joke at their own expense because of how shitty Vance is?

They are more traditional right, not MAGA right. They make fun of the Republican party all the time.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh? Glorious glorious juicy infighting.

The pot: No, YOU'RE black!

The other pot: No, you're black.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

We're all black on this blessed day!

Also with a Christian slant if I recall correctly

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

The Onion but by Christian conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

They were pretty funny when they got started. They would openly roast Joel Osteen and all the Prosperity Gospel crap. Then they decided to wade into politics. And misogyny. So much misogyny.

Technically it’s a post of guy putting a Babylon Bee headline on someone else’s page, now screen shot to yours.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It took me 10 seconds to realize this was a joke, and another 10 to get the joke.

I don't like this timeline

Have people forgot already the "suck my tongue" pedo shit this guy pulled out?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, I definitely remember when the mainstream media jumped at the chance to smear one of the most peaceful spiritual figures alive, context be damned. They took a culturally unfamiliar moment and ran it through a Western lens to manufacture outrage. And look, they're still collecting dividends on it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He asked a child to suck his tongue, there's no context the guy is a pedo

That does sound like something the Dalai Lama would say.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is a cultural difference slightly taken out of context. Albeit it is incredibly jarring for Americans and other European countries. He did issue an apology for it.

Go on ...

This is a perfectly normal thing in Tibetan culture?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

Sort of. According to residents who defended him they said it is a normal joke that elderly people to do children in Tibet.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Smart move, JD would've sucked that old man's tongue right out of his head.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I still haven't been able to wrap my head around that event. It makes me want to vomit.

In light of the Dalai's earlier pronouncement that his successor would be female, the administration has promised him immortality.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nirvana does not care for the mortal body limitations. Enlightenment is universal.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Tell that to Buddhists, especially Tibetan Buddhists which explicitly discriminate against women and claim they will never reach enlightenment.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly why they themselves haven't reached enlightenment. Too concerned with being petty of others instead of untangling the self.

But... isn't the gist that his successor is himself?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

The gist is that his successor isn't whoever the Chinese Communist Party says it is (either directly or by trotting our that kid they kidnapped decades ago who hasn't been seen since).

By the way why the pope even accepted (he or someone of his entourage) to meet with JD Vance?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Dalai is finding himself some Necrotic damage resist gear first.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

He doesn't want to die yet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Flashbacks to Assassin's Creed 2 where you fistfight with the Pope.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I dunno, if he keeps missing appointments like this it'll reflect on his performance review
