Sorry that you had to discover that there are different kinds of people with different preferences!

Also, how people started to use "being woke" (alert to racial prejudice and discrimination) and "DEI" (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) as swear words is beyond me.

Probably because it's a loaded (and incidentally no longer useful) term that conveys more than that. As explained well by deBoer here https://web.archive.org/web/20230404013504/https://freddiede...

Seeing DEI as a slur depresses me. On Instagram in the comments of videos of Trump getting shot, there are so many it's due to the SS having female members, which they conclude is because of DEI.

It makes me want to ask Putin to just launch those nukes already...

What's with accounts here wanting Putin to use nukes all of a sudden?

'If I could have one wish it would be for Putin to nuke Warsaw.'

It is some meme I'm not getting? Bizarre.

It's an older meme but it checks out, sir.

    Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough!
    It isn't fit for humans now,
    There isn't grass to graze a cow.
    Swarm over, Death!

A coincidence?

Before this war I've said "Kim Jong-Un has my permission to nuke X"...
