Agreed. We’ve lost a lot of ground to the barons of the new world, but the swell of support for unions is a light in the darkness. As much as I have bad things to say about our society, I’m happy we live somewhere where we can push back without going to jail.
“Based” is pre-zoomer (Gen Z/Alpha) gamer slang for “great”, with a slight connotation of oppositional greatness.
Original gamer use may include describing use of the N word for memes as “based” as its a counter-cultural thing that gamers saw as good. Nowadays it’s pretty “normie-core” and any time something upsets the status quo in a positive way that might make opposition upset, is based.
For example, Dark Brandon, a reimagining of the “let’s go Brandon” MAGA meme to be a progressive, anti-MAGA meme used as kind of a soft middle-finger to the right-wing internet, was incredibly based.
I think you misunderstood.
Medicine price negotiations, antitrust lawsuits, price gouging lawsuits, unfair fee lawsuits, etc. Biden admin FTC+DOJ have more teeth than I’ve ever seen.
I can’t remember a period of time with so many anti-trust and other consumer protection lawsuits from the FTC and DOJ.
Shame we got to this state, but Biden admin is deeply based.
They’re voting Jill Stein because Daddy Putin says vote splitting is a communist conspiracy
Don’t worry, I already have no idea what mewing, mogging, skibidi, or Ohio mean. I’m already the old man yelling at clouds.
