I got home about 20 minutes ago. I left the house about 4 hours ago.

Right, with the OP commenting that liberals frequently call them a tankie. And then a thread full of liberals sharing their opinion on the term, pretty damned clearly showing they know what it means. What else do you need?

Here’s a reddit (ugh) thread of (mostly) liberals discussing the term.

It’s not some secret code word.

Well give that another think because you’re wrong. This idea that liberals don’t use the word tankie is so off base and moronic I don’t know where you guys are coming from.

They absolutely use tankie.

I’ve seen liberals call social democrats tankies. It’s been turned into a meaningless term.

41 years old. I generally catch a cold once every couple of years. It will last a couple days to maybe a week if it’s bad. This is about the same as it’s been since I quit smoking 15 years ago. I haven’t noticed any change in injury healing time.

In practice, liberals and anarchists call anyone who defines themselves as a communist a tankie. Liberals will frequently use it for anyone who claims to be any sort of socialist.

Attaching onions to belts was also superior to the yams kids attach to their belts these days.

I know your country produces some pretty good olympic weightlifters.

I guess Groucho never saw The Matrix.

It’s definitely free labour. Even if you don’t mind doing it, it’s still that. As for the rest, I’m sympathetic to your point of view. I have used reviews and occasionally left reviews on products I liked particularly. However, online reviews are so gamed at this point that I don’t think anyone ought to feel pressured to leave a review like they try to do with the emails OP is receiving. It’s one thing to like a product so much you are moved to leave a review. It’s another to be asked for it every time you purchase something.

Good user reviews simulate word of mouth advertising which is the most valuable sort. They want free labour from you to help with that. This would be a great application for a spam filter.

While I appreciate the message of the meme, stay the fuck away from synthol.

It’s marketing.

Damn, mom, I’m never going to know what it feels like when someone refuses to change their life around entirely for my benefit? How sad. Somehow I’ll find a way to go on.

That’s what I’ve been saying. Vaccines are too effective for our own good. Smallpox alone is estimated to have killed 250-500 million during the 1900’s. But a generation or two passes without that personal experience and the danger is not treated with the care it deserves.

I downloaded it and it runs so I can confirm.
