YOU'RE BREAKING THE FLAG RULES I scream as fascists beat me to death with american flag themed batons

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 21 points 8 months ago

I'm stealing that.

I tried and tried to think up a funny title but nothing came to me. You hit the nail on the head.

"You have no idea how bad you look right now" says the liberal as they're lined up at the edge of a mass grave

fascist: i wrap myself in this flag. my blood flows through it. i will end lives for it. i will end my own life for it. my very identity is inextricable from it. i will become the soil. the reckoning has only just begun

liberal: em sir, this is a violation of flag code

See this is really funny because “bow tie on a man’s bare neck” says “male stripper” to me.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

T shirt and bow tie is such a wild choice it's almost like he's trying to make some statement.

Then you realize these dipshits are too stupid to deliver a message without subtext let alone with it.

This is what it looks like when your build needs very specific gear bonuses

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

It's not my fault this is the only piece with guard-up and artillery!

Speedrunning Oblivion and getting the most fucked up Hero of Kvatch statue as a result.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

theres a statue that changes based on gear? sounds neat

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, once you close that oblivion gate and finish the quest, a statue pops up in Bruma with whatever model your character was when you did it.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

oh i even played past that point guess im just not observant lmao

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It's in a weird spot, pretty easy to miss. I never noticed it until I saw the absurd gear i used for my speed builds on it.

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It's only slightly less pedantic of me, but I'm amused that the bowtie is on backwards.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Haha. I didn't even notice. How unpatriotic of me!

[–] btfod@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nah it's like the way flags are backwards on military uniforms.

Derek zoolander school for patriots and other people who want to respect the flag good and do other stuff.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Tha is actually part of the flag code. It is always supposed to face a specific way so when it's displayed on a uniform it will have a different direction based on which side it is on. Obviously such is not possible on a flag pole, thus the side with the stars is always attached to the pole.

[–] vertexarray@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

this has got to be some kind of fetish content

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

"Mr. Bowtie, sir - your clothing violates the US Flag Code."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yes. It is violation."

"If I take off my bowtie - what will you take off?"

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Chippendale's dancers have really changed over the years, huh

[–] Delphinium@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

This is exactly how infantryman dress when their squad leaders don’t leave their clothing laid out for them.

Never Surrender the t-shirt says as it pictures a man who was literally having his mugshot taken as he surrendered.

Someone do the libertarian copy pasta but with the flag code

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This isn't just dumb, it's not even true. The US Flag Code says you can't wear an actual, literal flag. Not a pattern with the US flag on it.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

Literally nobody has ever given a shit about the flag code except for when they think they can try to use it as a gotcha against political opponents.

Trump molested a flag then turned to the crowd and said "you dummies love this shit huh?" Thats pretty much the low bar for "disrespecting" a piece of cloth.

Am I crazy or does he look like Tom Hanks

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

I wouldn't go that far. But a close relative maybe.
