People who don’t need to codeswitch for their girlfriends need more guy friends.

Who the heck cares? Seriously? What the frick does Shrek have to do with anything aside from being a movie that's been memed to death because of unfunny people making the same 4 or 5 jokes because they won't find (or better yet make) any new ones. I'm not exactly sure why this is the case, but no matter the reason, it's just fricking stupid. Do you think this is funny? Are you just some troll who simply abuses mod powers to sticky shitposts simply because you can? Did you lose a bet or something? Are you trying to make material for r/subredditdramadrama ? Where has all the creativity gone? Has the internet killed it? Am I the only person left who would rather create something instead of going 'ill just make memes about some old movie that everybody else makes memes about in the hope that my creation will become viral if only for a moment and then people will pay attention to me so I don't have to go vandalizing subreddits where people just want to see certain subreddits have meltdowns and fights over God knows what? (Assuming that's even your motive to begin with). Or maybe you are actually convinced that this is some burning question because you're so single mindedly obsessed with s*x that you simply can't go more than 5 seconds without thinking about it.

You know what? What even matters anymore? What the heck am I even doing here, screaming at a really stupid mod on a place dedicated to stupid fights and endless stupidity? What even is the purpose of this comment? Is there one? Hopefully the other mods will just put you in your place and stop sticking the stupidest fricking questions on the internet. But if they don't, then I shall return to typing whatever the heck this is. Now if you excuse me, I need some nice popcorny drama that I came to this subreddit for.

Imagine not being yourself 100% of the time. The beta issue is far more serious than any class, racial, religious, Android-user, ect-based discrimination

I guess I'm old and can't keep up anymore. What is code switching?

Basically how progressives talk to people they feel are less intelligent. Think about how blue checks say "y'all" dispite living in Brooklyn and have a BA from Oberlin.

It’s a term to describe something old as sin. When you’re in x company, you talk x-way. When you’re in y company, you talk y-way. Guys trying to get their peepee wet use a filter when they talk to white girls.

For an example, I live in a major city and in a nice area so I speak very “white,” using a more educated vernacular, and without much slang when I’m out at bars or a grocery store or whatever. Went to the boonies to pick up a project truck with my friend so I would speak slower, with a slight southern drawl, and using different vocabulary.

You might not realize this but we in "the boonies" know when you're doing this and we think you're fricking r-slurred for it

Based r-slur implicitly mocking every community he interacts with in a way that can only be called out by a fist to the orbitals

It’s like :marseyseethe: but on purpose, and every day. It’s mostly a BIPOC/mudshark phenomenon

“Code-switching” is cope for having a personality that came off an assembly line, right? It’s been a while since I’ve heard it brought up.
