Caltrops - Rants





	[quote name="those words are pronounced."]My interpretation of the implied backstory of that bumper sticker was: a guy tried to write NO REGRETS, spelled it wrong, then never fixed it because he didn't give a fuck. He quite literally had NO REGRETS. Though, perhaps he should have? I assumed the bumper sticker, by communicating its message so obliquely, was encouraging me to see both sides of the NO REGRETS coin, a tacit admission by the sticker that the human condition was too complex to be expressed in two words on the back of a 4x4. When I got home I googled NO RAGRETS and found out it's actually a meme about a guy who got a tattoo with a typo in it. By recontextualizing the tattoo into a bumper sticker - a medium which lacks the ostensible permanence of a tattoo - the joke lost its original meaning. This left a meaning vacuum which sucked my consciousness down a NO RAGRETS rabbit hole that lasted the entire trip home. This is all a very roundabout way of saying I still don't understand how you found antisemitic subtext in my post about faggot kikes eating bitch sundaes. Maybe you're autistic, maybe you're foreign and too ashamed to admit it, maybe you're just a stupid asshole. The point is no amount of projecting on my part is going to cure whatever's wrong with your brain, so if you reply with a joke about <i>stickers no talk, Cousin Larry!</i>, I should probably just roll with it.
