Y'all are way overthinking the Timbler. It's a shitpost from a twitter guy who makes funny photoshops of old video games.

This one is about the Shambler, from Quake, wearing Timberlands. Hence Timbler.

Quake got a remastered release last week by Night Dive Studio. Their in-house engine for porting old games to modern platform is called Kex.

The black guy is the protagonist from Shadow Man, which was a recent release ported to Kex engine. He just called it kek because before the world was brain poisoned that was a way to say lol and it's a reasonable pun on kex.

The twitter guy is named Kino Fabino and his content is wholesome for fans of boomer shooters and I will not have you cynical assholes ruin that for me.

"y'all are overthinking it" I cry as I post thousands of words about how this meme is not in fact racist

I get what you mean though and agree that 4chan ruins everything

Mannnn, yeah, I've seen these posts in a vacuum, where it's all just PC game dorks who still spaz out over games released in 1996. It's so far removed from all this toxic gamer poo poo that's everywhere else. It's my happy place. Don't bring that poo poo into my happy place!

the difference is pepe was originally wholesome while kek was toxic chud garbage from the getgo

No, it came from WoW. They filtered language in the game's chat so that the two factions of the game couldn't directly communicate. "lol" became "kek". It was fine for years until 4chan shitheads did the same poo poo they did to Pepe.

I grew up in the US where I never actually heard it used in relation to palsy. It has always been "over-excited weird nerd". I'll probably be more careful about that going forward, but that's the intent with which I used it in that post.

every time someone posts about how you have to start looking for day care a year before you get pregnant and oh boy prepare to spend 3x your rent on it, i just get this bad feeling that maybe there are some assumptions being made that nobody's talking about.

I don't have personal experience with thus search yet, but there is legitimately a crunch for childcare workers and it's limiting daycare spaces across the spectrum. Childcare in America is absolutely hosed. It's part of why Biden has focused on universal pre-k as part of his agenda.

You're spot on about a lot of people's attitudes towards school and education in general, but the pre-k childcare situation is legitimately dire.

When we were buying our house, my boss looked at the zillow listing and saw the school ratings, and the middle school was like a C or something. He legit said to me "well, it seems like a nice neighborhood... and maybe by the time your kid's in middle school you can figure something else out!" lmfao my wife went to one of the worst ranked high schools in Ohio and is a successful PhD working in industry now, gently caress right off

lmao that's basically a bootstraps argument

e; was responding to shoeberto

like, you don't have to feel bad about it but "my wife did a horatio alger" is maybe not the best basis on which to infer "therefore it is easy to do"

I wasn't implying it's easy to do, just that it's an rear end in a top hat thing for my boss to imply that a C-rated public school is something to be avoided. It's not the end-all be-all in life.

The attitude of people assuming they need to move hell and high water to get their kids into the absolute best of the best absolutely drives me insane. It's entitled and elitist and most people in their lives will never have an opportunity to have that sort of choice. It's offensive to me to suggest that my kid's path in life is somehow going to be impeded by it.
