downvotes here mean exactly as much as they mean anywhere else

AND FOR THE 9TH TIME, I wouldn’t write “86” when I meant “no”, but expecting restaurant workers to know restaurant lingo isn’t some massive stretch. He’s not speaking Latin. the bigger dumbass is 100% the person who actually put 86 cherries into a milkshake.

“I NEVER HEARDA 86, DOWNVOTED CAUSE IM FUCKIN DUMB”

Honestly I’d work under the assumption that restaurant employees knew what “86” meant. I’d still prob just write “no cherries” lol but the assumption isn’t that crazy. It’s common restaurant lingo.

Edit: people that never worked in a restaurant downvoting me “I NEVER HEARD OF NO 86, DOWNVOTED FOR SHARING AN ANECDOTE” lol this site is cancer. There’s a reason lemmy will never take off, and it’s the user base

why trump wasn’t doing the same this year when he has in the past

Which, honestly, is kinda weird. Like obviously he can just fake records like he has in the past.

Harris needs to be HAMMERING this.

Lol jesus christ, did you just learn the term “gaslighting” or something? Someone disagreeing with you isn’t gaslighting.

I’ve literally voted in every election since I turned 18 in 2004 and I’ve only voted dem, even though my state has gone red every single time. I think the Haitian story is a clear-cut indication of the racist rot in middle America. I’m not the scarecrow you’ve constructed in your head.

Safe to assume that you have partisan blinders on and will ignore all the circumstantial and tangible evidence in favor of your reality where 50% of voters are outright racists who wouldn’t bat an eye at openly saying the n-word.

Keep buying into the ragebait, anyone who disagrees with you is a racist gaslighter.

I spent way too much energy on you, have a good life.

Honestly I think it’s incredibly pathetic that you’re so dug in on this stranger saying a naughty word that you won’t even look at it objectively. In response to my detailed, objective breakdown, your only rebuttal was “gaslighter”. K. The embedded video player in the link above has a playback speed option, feel free to use it to slow the video down and see the truth of his mouth shape. Compare it to the “n” shape he uses when he says “in” several times. Or keep sticking your head in the sand and yelling “NUH UH GASLIGHTER”, idc. I think we’re clearly done here.

Edit:.honestly the slowed playback pretty much proves it’s an “m” in both sound and mouth shape.

The cognitive dissonance is you believing that he said the n word while also being aware that the sound that came out is “m” and his mouth forms the “m” shape and not the “n” shape

Maybe he’s racist, I have no idea. But wouldn’t the far simpler route for a racist be to just keep engaging with the bullshit story and encourage the despicable racist acts that are already happening? A dog whistle by definition is subtle, coded. This isn’t that.

Lol ok buddy. Me being a gaslighter is pretty convenient for your cognitive dissonance.

Sure. I’d still say that he just fumbled his words, as people do everyday. Importantly, it’s incredibly stupid to hyper focus on someone possibly saying a naughty word when the whole Haitian migrants story is full of real, undeniable, tangible racism. Missing the forest for the trees.

Wow you really got me there. Lol the comment is at a positive ratio. The people downvoting me are the willfully ignorant, such as yourself, who would ignore any and all evidence contrary to your notion that a practiced media presence said the n-word live in front of cameras, lol, super smart deduction there buddy. Also ignore the sentence structure and how much more sense “migrant” makes following the word “Haitian”, ignore that he was actually defending the Haitian migrants in his comments, ignore how the consonant sounds slightly more like an “m” than an “n”, and ignore that his lips move together when making the “m” sound, which wouldn’t happen with an “n”. Did I miss anything?

Did you …watch the video? His lips move together at the consonant in question. Lol but sure, you’re not just hearing what you want to hear.

Lol ok buddy. Everyone closes their lips when they pronounce an “m”, right? CLEAR AS DAY. keep fighting the good fight, hive mind

Nah man, you’re hearing what you want to hear. Just look at his lips - they come together as they would with an “m” sound. The exact same way they come together shortly thereafter to say “migrants” properly.

Compare his mouth movement to when he says “in”, his lips do not move together.

Or keep hearing what you want to hear, I don’t care. Nothing I say will change your mind.

Sorry, thought you were the squid man. Regardless, on its face (without examining the video), his explanation makes more sense than a practiced media person blurting out the n-word on camera. Examining the audio, i’d say that I’m more confident that he’s making an “m” sound than an “n”. Examining the video, it appears his lips close when making the m/n sound, indicating an “m” over an “n”.

That seems to be pretty objective. Most of the comments in this thread are getting high off of righteous indignation instead of thinking that, possibly, the conservative asshole didn’t blurt out the n-word on camera.

Yes, you’re definitely the objective one here lol

“everyone in my echo chamber thinks the same as me” isn’t the own you think it is

I think you’re hearing what you want to hear and getting a hit of the righteous outrage. Misspeaking is a thing, dude. You say “plausible” sarcastically, as if it weren’t actually 100% plausible lol
