I honestly hope this guy is ok. Said he got beat up pretty bad, but I hope it’s nothing too serious

    To me the joke isn’t “wife bad”, it’s "this is why the phrase ‘calm down’ shouldn’t be in your vocabulary.

    There used to be a webcomic (Abstruse Goose maybe? I can’t remember and can’t find it) where the first panel is “things that calm me down: drinking tea, hot baths, watching a funny movie.” Second panel: “things that don’t calm me down: ‘hey calm down, bro.’”

        Ah right, forgot about those. They do seem to happen quite often in USA. Makes sense given they voted for pedophile orange.

          Does it make you feel big to spew racist non sequiturs? Aside from being a vile comment, what you said is objectively stupid. There are rutting ungulates in literally every continent other than Antarctica.

            While it’s a non sequitur for sure, how was it racist?

            Felt more like commentary on the state of the education system in America failing the citizenry on many layers, resulting in a trend of people fucking around with fascism and rutting ungulates and then finding out.

              How was a sweeping generalization about americans and an implication that we deserve to be gored by bison racist? Take that comment and replace “USA” with whatever country you’re from and see how you feel about it.

                When did I claim anyone deserved it? Don’t put words in my mouth. There have been many reports of bison attacks because people are stupid, and maga supporters are stupid fascists. No idea how that can be seen racist but sure, take it as you will.

                  Well yeah, its not racist if you significantly change your wording and present a modified message removing the broad stereotyping of a nationality. If that were what you said, I would not have been offended or called you out for replying to my comment with racism.

                Hello, fellow American. The word you are looking for is “xenophobic.” We are not a race

      The joke within the joke is that husbands don’t listen and try telling their wives what to do.

      Edited, oops.
