      In OP’s defense, it’s kinda hard to tell nowadays if someone’s joking or not. Satire is dead and buried.

      Edit to add: there absolutely is a non zero chance that the guy in the pic literally and purposefully peed his pants, thought that was a flex and subsequently bragged about it on the primary social network for professionals.

        Another problem with satire is that conservatives literally cannot grasp the concept of it, so they also take satirical works, making fun of conservatives, literally.
        There are people that watched The Boys and come away from it thinking Homelander is a swell guy. Like, how??

    This is what I will tell myself if I ever accidentally shit myself. “I just needed some adversity in my life guys!”

      Shit yourself in public -> gov thinks you’re insane -> passive income from disability checks

      It’s really that easy guys.

        I dare these people to try the disability income lifestyle. If you manage to save you lose disability before you have enough to do anything with it

        • Disability income is horrifying in the US. You’re essentially disallowed from owning things. Given that Europe will be waking up in a few hours, I’d like to ask whether the situation is panic-inducingly dystopian over there as well.

            It’s horryfiyng but for other reasons. I’m actually on disability and like every other single person on disability in Italy (sure it’s better in other countries) I’m fortunate to have a family (as to not have to rely on the meager check) or else I’d be on the street or worse. Life on here costs about ~800€ a month but they expect (?) people with disability to live with 300/500 a month (the average disability pension) the only person I knew who received more than that (not even that more, barely 800€) was a lady that was literally a vegetable and her cares costed many multiples of 800€, at least the cool thing is that you can receive these brownie points and keep working. Can’t comment on other European nations as they’re all different in som ways.

            Edit: oh also when you turn 18 the gov agency in charge of disabilities and pension does whatever is it in its power to strip you of your meager check🙄
