having adhd is like “fuck, it’s half past noon. that pretty much means it’s one o'clock. that means it’s lunchtime. that means it’s pretty much three. that means it’s almost five o'clock, and that means the day is pretty much over and i don’t have time for any of the things i was going to do today :( time to scroll aimlessly through social media until bedtime”
i think rickrolling is the only meme that gets objectively funnier with age. in 2009 you learned to anticipate it but in 2019 it happens just infreqently enough that i fall for it every single time
like people still make rage comics and doge jokes and shit but it’s always ironic (the real punchline is that you’re using an outdated format) or more in line with modern absurd internet humor. rickrolling is the only meme i can think of that’s been the exact same for a full decade- click on a link thinking you’re getting something else, get rick astley instead, and it’s still consistently funny
the more time passes the more foolish you feel for falling for a rickroll as well. Like darn I learnt about this prank 10+ years ago how did I just fall for it now,
Because of the whole Angry Black Woman™ stereotype, the only way to be taken seriously is to be calm, collected, and concise while still speaking passionately about such topics. If she raised her voice, or let her hand move above chest level, she would’ve immediately been dismissed as an “angry black woman” who needs to “control herself” while her accurate rebuttal would’ve been thrown out the window.
Notice how her neutral pose is her hands in her lap. When she speaks about oppression, she taps her hand on the table laying out her points then back to neutral. She knew exactly what had to be done to be taken seriously.
This is why I’m not flattered when people tell me “You’re so much more reasonable and polite than those OTHER black SJW’s.”
People in Aurora, CO peacefully protesting the murder of Elijah McClain. They are sitting in the grass literally listening to violins being played in his honor. And the fucking Gestapo is unleashed! WTF!!
Why are the police militarized against tax paying citizens!! White men with guns can storm a Government building in Michigan and THEY don’t get this sort of treatment!?! And I don’t want to hear shit about looting & rioting because CLEARLY that is not what’s going on here.
I say again THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! This is a corporate-run plantation where we are expected to consume and comply only.
