I need to take up drinking.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I know this is a joke but yeah don't. I did this for similar reasons and have been perpetually drunk. It just doesn't end.

[–] Nothing@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Come on bruh, step your game up! Hard drugs is where it’s at 🙃

Well, opiates are "better" for your body than alcohol

At least there is that... Well, and you can't die from a withdrawal - although it will be not a nice experience

A little cocaine never hurt anyone, but then, who does a little cocaine

[–] Nothing@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

"I want my president to govern like a child abuser."

[–] Favoring9181@lemmy.world 77 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I don't want the image of Trump undoing his belt while Mel Gibson passionately cheering him.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Sugartits is Mel’s pet name for Trump

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

The belt is for show. He's strapped into a fucking girdle so tight, he can't move his torso at all.

The entire MAGA movement is apparently built on daddy issues

Unironically, this. I know they're trying to crack a joke but it's absolutely true. Been saying it for years. The men who enthusiastically participate in this movement are men who crave the attention their own fathers couldn't or wouldn't give them. They are because of this the weakest men among us - and you can tell because they have to cosplay at being tough guys but would go on national TV and say something as degrading and stupid as this and not have an ounce of self-reflection about it because they know they're talking to other people just like them.

It’s also the display of power over those who cannot hit back.

Kids don’t fight back.

Lbgtq people are viewed/painted as weak, they don’t fight back.

Same for Liberals.

Women.

Etc.

So it may have something to do with fatherly attention, but it also has to do with being a bully who can display unchallenged power.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Makes sense, the nazi movement was built on young men who's father's died in WWI.

Some context for Mel's father,

One week before Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004) was released in American film theaters, Hutton Gibson told radio talk show host Steve Feuerstein that the Holocaust was fabricated and "mostly fictional".[28] He said that the Jews had simply emigrated to other countries rather than having been killed, a view which observers described as Holocaust denial.[28][29] He claimed that census statistics prove that there were more Jews in Europe after World War II than before.[30] Gibson said that certain Jews advocate a global religion and one world government.[28]

Well this explains a lot.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think we can all agree, this is the one daddy that needs to go get the milk and never come back.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is one daddy that belongs in prison.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 12 points 2 months ago

let him put out fires for a while. see how he likes it

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 44 points 2 months ago

"It's like daddy arrived and he's taking his belt off"

🎶 sweeeeet home alabama 🎶

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

I was so much happier when he shut up

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm just gonna leave this here... whoever gives Gibson any sort of moral authority is ignorant or a piece of shit.

[–] ridago@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

Seems pretty in line with republican values to me

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jfc. I couldn't finish tape 2. What a waste of a human being

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah honestly I should have probably included a trigger warning because it is the kind of bad that might trigger ptsd for ppl who have lived in abusive relationships. Thank you for reading

[–] superkret@feddit.org 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Incredibly, this is not from a South Park episode:

Daddy's Home

Content warning: includes Roseanne Barr twerking

Damn, i lost 3 IQ points by watching this

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Ewwww no don't give that shit views

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Mel looking pretty rough these days

[–] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 14 points 2 months ago

it's all that hate frothing at his back teeth for decades.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's got an alcoholic nose. Which coincides with this meme, they have daddy issues and usually have an alcohol problem.

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Gin Blossom, though commonly correlated, there is no causation with alcohol.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

that explains alot

Hey now, they also have women issues, issues with minorities, issues with not raping or being a pedo, etc

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The ending to Hacksaw Ridge really told me everything I need to know about Mel Gibson.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Up to the end it was a movie about Desmond Doss trying to reconcile his faith with the war. At the end it was Christianity good let's kill the Japs, Deus Vult.

[–] TimboSlice@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

Interesting. I watched it a few years ago and don't remember why I disliked it. That's probably the reason.

I'm interested, too, since I'm not touching that movie. Looks boring anyway.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

That actually makes a lot of sense.

[–] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

That's want wanting "a leader" does to you

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

...at the bank, and he's drunk.
