    I don’t understand wtf is going on with the RT score.

    10% Critics, 99% Verified Audience

    99 audience score? Surely, it’s bots, right?

    So you look at “All Audience” and you see 1/5 pretty much the whole way down:

    Then Verified Audience… and it’s 5/5 the whole way down?

    These are (supposedly) verified ticket purchase reviews/accounts. Did they seriously just buy up a bunch of tickets just pay for high reviews?

      Can you imagine anyone actually paying to watch the movie? Yeah, I’d say it’s bots or something along those lines. 99% is about as believable as North Korean “election” results

      Only MAGAs would pay to see this so of course all the ticket purchasers are glazing it. It could have been just watching her take a dump for 2 hours and they’d rate it 5 stars.

        Can confirm. At my old job around 2010s, there was an objective to make all the C-level folks best selling authors, Ted speakers, thought leaders, etc.

        Many of them appeared in Forbes and top 100 lists.

        It wasn’t expensive at all.

        Yeah considering we’re seeing the posts they’re probably higher in the rankings so they give those people tickets so they can post something good. Hell I bet most didn’t watch the thing. Just want a nibble of that baby carrot.

        If you got money it’s probably not difficult to do.

        Honestly I can’t tell if Nick Adams is satire or not. Like he’s legitimately very conservative, but also the posts get so ridiculous he MUST realize it can’t be taken seriously

      I am settling in for a showing of ‘Melania’ and the theater is PACKED!

      Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks.

      “Avatar? No, son,” I curtly replied. “I don’t watch woke movies. I’m here to see the groundbreaking documentary about our incredibly talented First Lady.”

      The man’s two little girls began jumping up and down, pulling on his sleeve, and begging, “Daddy, we want to see Melania!”

      “But. But…” he stammered, “I thought you girls wanted to see Zootopia 2?”

      “No, no, NO,” they said, now nearly shouting. “We want to see Melania!! She is the most beautiful First Lady EVER.”

      Their father was scrambling, stressed out, and disoriented.

      “Girls, I’m afraid you aren’t the only ones who are captivated by President Trump and his beautiful wife,” I said, kneeling to get on their level. “Virtually everyone in this theater is here for the 7:30 PM showing, and it’s been sold out for days.”

      Tears began to well up in their eyes.

      “But…” I said in a hushed tone, “I happen to have a few extra tickets with me, and I’d like you and your dad to have them.”

      They jumped for joy and began hugging their father. He looked relieved as he wiped the sweat off his brow with a smile.

      I handed him the tickets and pulled him close. “Raise these girls right,” I whispered. “Teach them to be classy conservative women of faith like Melania, don’t let them become like Meghan Markle. Capisce?”

      He hugged me and thanked me profusely. “What are you going to do now?” He asked.

      “Don’t worry about me, son,” I told him, with a twinkle in my eye. “I’ve already got tickets to the next showing.”

      Always have been, remember in 2016 when he said he’d release his tax information (required to get clearances) and he failed to do so, kept saying he would and now is suing the people who voted for him for $10 billion dollars.

      Edit: why… Because he told the population he would do the job for $0, and the tax records showed he didn’t donate that money and was lying to every Republican voter.

      Oh and because he can now blatantly steal from them, and they will say yes please, because every Republican is an absolute bootlicker

        I don’t know if that means he is MAGA and a troll.

        Or if he trolls other MAGAts.

        And I can’t tell from the post if it’s satire or not, because of how deranged MAGAts are.

              • Sweetie thats just the problem, I care about the level of toxicity in one online community I participate in. The sincerity is genuine.

                I’m gonna block you, because I looked through your comment history and you’re mega toxic. You really should do some work on your self, you’ll feel better and be less hateful. Probably. Idk.

                Anyways byeeee have a nice life and remember, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t blow your nose into your hands.

                  Yes, but does it occur to you that you’re the toxic one?

                  Because you want to go around policing how others behave according to your standards, instead of maybe, leaving them alone?

                  Weird, I see you as hateful and bigoted because you are forcing yourself onto others and judging them rather than letting them be.

              He’s just a bit of a cunt, I have him tagged. Not fully MAGA, but always ready with shit takes, both sidesism, and antagonizing everyone for no reason. He’s the common sense centrist and we’re all woke extremists

                I’m new to the Fediverse, but seeing your comment with that much of a downvote ratio…

                No one wants to hear what you have to say.

    Is this supposed to be serious? It’s so over the top that it reads like satire. The only thing missing is the applause.

      Apparently this guy is a joker/troll, but still on the MAGA train. Satire, but uncritical of the thing it’s satirizing? Maybe like Babylon Bee?

        You know, I couldn’t figure out what bugged me so much about the Babylon Bee until you just pointed it out perfectly. Most conservative humor is punching down, which is what makes it so unfunny in the first place. But even when they do an article poking fun at conservative stuff, they still don’t quiet land any punches. Satire is supposed to be critical of what you’re making fun of, not just acknowledging it.

          IMO guys like OOP, and lots of conservative memes, are more about getting a reaction out of ideological/political opponents and then laughing about that. That is the thought process, but it doesn’t have to actually happen this way, which makes it even sadder.

          In other words, they imagine libs getting mad at their jokes, and that’s the joke.

          Other people have described this much better than me.

          I’m not sure exactly where BB falls here, but at least partly the above applies.

    Alone in the basement, Adams was furiously whacking off with one hand, as he typed his Melania fanfic with the other.

    ‘I am settling in for a showing of ‘Melania’ and the theater is PACKED!’

    “What else does this story need?” he whacked. “Oh, yes. Little girls!”

    Nick, If your fantasies were of any interest to others they wouldn’t be fantasies.
