    Internet stories get exaggerated fast. Real people and relationships are always more complex than a single viral narrative.

      That is true. To be fair, Lemmy had its times where apparent “experts” deduced insane claims from quick glances of images. But it shows that judging the book by its cover is a real thing, and it applies to anything.

    Please explain to someone who never had an insta account, what is an insta thot?

    Also, please explain to a poor person, what is a 2 year prenup pension?

    Edit: thanks everyone. I feel highly educated now.

      Insta = Instagram

      THOT = That Ho Over There

      Prenup = Prenuptual agreement, which is a contract two people sign before they get married, usually to determine who will get what in the event of a divorce. It’s usually used to avoid lengthy and costly divorce proceedings.

      Pension = An older type of retirement account

      So, that ho on Instagram stayed married to him for two years, fulfilling the terms of their prenuptial agreement, entitling her to full divorce benefits, which will be about half of this guy’s fortune, which should be enough for her to retire on.

      Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

      An instance thot is a lady who posts lewd pictures of herself on Instagram.

      A 2 year prenup meant that she had to be married to him for 2 years before getting access to the Dilbert money.

      Actually a good sport to only require a two-year prenup. Rush Limbaugh made his “wives” sign ten-year prenups and being married to Limbaugh has to be worse than being married to the Dilbert dude.

        Imagine how insufferable Dilbert dude actually is (was! forgot about this delightful fact). You ask him to pass the salt, he goes into this long tirade in this mocking voice, about how he’s the only capable person in the room and all the stupid femoids are too woke to even get their own salt, and if you roll your eyes he will get angry and throw a tantrum.

      I mean it’s just a thing two people agree to and sign before they get married. You could have your lawyer put anything in a prenup, it’s just most people only give a fuck about the money and assets.

          Wait really, sexual stuff? Couldn’t they use contracts to make prostitution legal then?

            You can’t use a contract to make something illegal, legal. But in all but name you kind of can make it legal. You have to have sex with me everyday, after 2 years you get a fifth of my stuff.

            Also it’s almost impossible to get courts to actually enforce the sexual part of a contract. They just won’t get involved in that stuff for the most part.

    Non-passerine

    Apparently the passerines are the largest bird group, but I fail to see the relevance here, somehow.

      Pretty sure the (arguably) oldest profession of humanity is pretty much all out of fucks to give for peoples opinions of it.

      but hey, some basic-ass bad-faith drive-by statements might just be the thing we need to turn this all around, keep it up, i expect the tide to turn any day now.
