@Talulah When I searched for this image in good quality through Google Lens, the best result was some kind of Imageboard

No one posts like Gasjon
No one coasts like Gasjon
No one's ripe for indelible toasts like Gasjon
For there's no chad in town half as chadly
Perfect, a pure paragon
You can ask any Tom, Dick or Bradley
And they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on

The commentary literally explains the joke.

Ah, I missed that. Well, I guess that answers my question, thanks.

You're just being difficult

Sure, if you think it's fine to treat language like it's not important to communicate clearly, then I am. I certainly don't think highly of people who don't try to speak properly, either.

Fucking get over yourself.

Why should I?
That's not a rhetorical question. By all means, if you think there's a good reason why I shouldn't be a grammar nazi, by all means tell me. I'll consider it, I promise.

You are just being an obtuse twat. You can't even claim ignorance because you said that you know that Texas is a name in the franchise

But that doesn't mean that there couldn't be a wordplay involved. And as it turns out, there was.

While you claim to immediately reply to my first comment with saying that you know Texas is a character.
Cut the bullshit.

Well, I could infer that might possibly be a character. And then you confirmed it.

That's the thing; there isn't a single proper way of speaking. Real life isn't an English class where we have to communicate in formal English all the time. Language evolves and diverges, often faster than dictionaries can keep up. And there ain't nothni' wrong with that (Starting a sentence with "and" and double negatives? Oh nooooo!). Only an elitist would think others are less worthy of respect for talking differently.

Because a lot of people find it condescending and annoying. That should be a good enough reason on its own to not be one.

No, but there are better and worse ways, and I think you agree with me given that you're bothering with punctuation and proper spelling. It should be clear that I don't mind colloquial speech, what with all my contractions, and I don't mind change, except when it's for the worse. And I think this is a bad added meaning for the phrase "fuck with", for reasons I have already explained. Communication should clear so as to avoid misunderstandings.

And I find linguistic erosion annoying, so it seems fair if I annoy people who engage in that right back. And it seems like a fitting punishment for contributing to the degradation of language.

There is no erosion you stupid moron. Language isn't a fucking rock. Fuck thy self.

All you've proven is that you are both illiterate and a bullshitting liar.

It's a figurative term. Some call it semantic bleaching, despite that language is not a fabric, but I want to convey the destructiveness of it so I call it erosion. I don't mind calling it semantic bleaching if you make a good argument for that term being better.

What have I lied about and why is it such a big deal? Was it the "Yeah, I understand that" bit? Sure, I suppose that was in fact a bit unclear of me, I should have written "okay, you have confirmed that for me now". But I think you're making this too personal and getting too angry about it.

They've had on display on the National Mall in Washington D.C. statues like this. I think the most recent one displayed was titled "The King of the World" and featured Trump and Epstein recreating the famous bow scene from Titanic (Movie). The statue before that had them holding hands with the plaque starting with "In honor of friendship month."

It's not a new trend either, similar art with Trump Yaoi happened w/ his first term, but it was Putin after the Russian interference thing happened
