What's the relation with gay bar and domino's? I know about the pizza meter of pentagon but enlighten me about the gay bar meter🫠
Its part of the "Pentagon Pizza Index" Link (and yes I know they are sponsored by the "gamble on everything" companies these days)
Its an unusual OSINT tool where you monitor the nearest pizza places near important buildings. If a cartoonishly large amount of pizza is getting delivered to the pentagon, that indicates that teams are pulling all-nighters. This also applies to companies like Valve and Microsoft that have know large known central offices.
Monitoring the local bar scene has similar value, if the number of people there is different past historical data then its safe to assume something is going on.
Well specifically the gay bar because of the large amount of right wingers installed recently and the relationship to large Republican presence and an uptick in grindr and gay related clubs and bars.
I assume it means the pentagayn employees are hauled into the office for an urgent meeting.
I.E. Less at the gay bar. More pizza deliveries
*Fewer
Thank you, Stannis.
More fewer deliveries? American is a crazy language.
It's a perfectly cromulent sentence.
Ja ja
who fucking cares, everyone knows what was meant
*whom
since this is grammaticaly incorrect you get an upvote for playfulness
Not the OP but I would assume this a reference to the fact that Grindr spikes when GOP gathers, ie GOP conference etc ergo the pleb politicians are not involved/havent been gathered to DC.
I'm not sure what value it adds though, I can't imagine Cheetolini seeking approval or briefing them before nuking Iran
Actually thats just folklore. Recently someone posted the actual stats, there is no discernible spike in app use. No server crashing under the load of all those closeted gays. Sorry to break that bubble
And there's no evidence Vance fucked a couch, but I'm still choosing to believe it
As a homosexual, please stop lumping toxic conservatives with us. We don't want them. "Hahaha that's gay" is a joke that needs to stay in the 90s.
As a member of the LGBTQ community myself, I think it's pretty funny.
And it's certainly not a "Hahaha that's gay" joke. That's missing the point
That's fine. But not everyone is okay with it. I can't stop people from making jokes, but I feel what I feel. I don't like the association that asshole conservatives can be ridiculed by saying they are closeted gays. I was in the closet for a long time and I hate that it's a joke now. Coming out was a big deal for me and joking about conservatives being in that position makes light of my struggles.
Again, laugh at what you want. I just don't have to like it.
I fully agree with you, just as a prelude, and your feelings in that matter are of course valid. I just want to add that the reason people make fun of them for being gay is not that they are supposedly gay, but the fact that they are all wildly hypocritical, sanctimonious assholes who do decidedly never practice what they preach.
It's also low-key homophobic.
It's about the hypocrisy, not haha you're gay. If it's real it should be pointed out. The left is eating itself with this take
Yeah. While I'm not going to deny the existence of log cabin Republicans, they're usually people who ain't figured out tokens get spent.
It kind of is
As a gay man, I hate when people make "conservatives are gay and closeted" jokes. My sexuality is not a prop for your rhetoric.
the fact that Grindr spikes when GOP gathers
this is misinfo
Well you see. They have to escalate, and do it fast or admit they have lost. And these fucks Will never admit they lost. Even though america has lost almost every conflict since ww2. And they lost this one when they dropped the first bomb.
they had to draw from thier carrier that was patrolling south east asia to relieve the "poopiefied uss lincoln"
These guys have always been spot on.
Ehhh the embassy notices are still the same thing they've been posting for months.
e.g.

Is the retard planning on using nuclear? I mean of course he does but that's freaking scary
Well, his drunk war chief with the oppression themed tattoos certainly isn't a voice of reason in any room.
If he is, from what I understand, he should have stayed at David, as it at least used to be the Presidential nuclear shelter. Don't know if that's still true.
Isn't the presidential bunk shelter moved under the ballroom now?
They haven't finished grifting the construction costs on that yet.
No need, its unlikely anyone would strike the US on Iran's behalf. Even if Iran has made nuclear weapons there's no evidence of them ever working on ICBMs.
If the US nukes Iran we can expect their entire arsenal, including any nukes they might posses, to be launched at Israel.
Nah I'm sure they've finished the bunker under the Epstein ballroom so he's ready to move in
