So one desperate for attention wannabe does it, then most Dems do it? Pardon me for calling that a stretch.
Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:
Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.
I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”
I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

I suppose that’s fair, but the post date should still be included to prevent people who aren’t familiar with it from thinking this just happened.
SanctimoniousApeto World News@quokk.au•Taliban Imposes New Ban on Women’s Traditional Household Activities6·1 天前And you’d think they’d be clamoring for more, but they’re just fine selling to Israel & Ukraine for now. If the Gaza situation holds, maybe they’ll go back to that well. Or maybe not considering Trump probably doesn’t want to upset the business deals he’s made with neighboring countries.
Regardless, we know the US ain’t exactly the bastion of decency nowadays, but will nobody else stand up to this?

Nah - even Xi is too classy to get close enough to the skank to do that.
As if we needed more evidence that it was ghost-written for him.
That’s not true! He never chickens out on a chance to be a pedo!

SanctimoniousApeto World News@quokk.au•The Right Is Stirring up Anti-Muslim Hate – and It’s Getting Worse8·1 天前They have to keep stirring up anger to keep their base from cooling down enough to think level-headedly. It’s why the targets are always rotating, but the bullshit is the same.
This is ancient AF. Cutting off the post date is shitty,

Oh, puh-leeeze!! It’s been a known practice forever - regardless of who’s in the White House. Why is it only a problem when it targets Republican politicians?
SanctimoniousApeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else live somewhere that has had people joining in a WiFi naming joke?3·6 天前I had to think about it even after you pointed out it. The 8 as a standin for “it” wasn’t doing me any favors in getting it (assuming I’ve got it right at all). The first thought I had was “8Hz? That’d be absurdly slow!”

SanctimoniousApeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Anyone else live somewhere that has had people joining in a WiFi naming joke?3·7 天前Don’t they know you can’t have kids when you have Wi-Fi - be it due to sterilization from the signals, or simply because you’re both too addicted to social media to do the deed?

When it’s done.
