Fair. “Tree branches” carries with it certian…connotations… Not to censor you or anything, but personally to convey the same meaning without that possible misunderstanding I’d borrow from the ACME corporation from Looney Tunes fame, as in an anvil, piano, or safe accident. Or just “I straight up hope he has a fatal accident.” Or anything that could be fatal but not read as purposeful, like the ambiguous “tree branch” that could involve either simply gravity, or rope and gravity.
I agree with you, political violence is not good, nature is another matter.
Yeah it’s a very local joke, you’d get it if you lived in the area. He’s paralyzed because a tree branch fell on him. Real proof that being disabled doesn’t preclude someone from being an absolute ghoul
Yeah it’s also a joke in my area of the south…not that I enjoy spending time with the racist people who make that joke in my area, because in all of the south that I’ve been to they didn’t have your hyperlocalized version of it where it isn’t a reference to lynchings.
The internet is bigger than TX, most people won’t get that you mean “a tree branch falling on him” when in more locations it speaks to lynchings (which in this case wouldn’t be racist but would be political violence.)
By all means you do you, but you may want to be aware how that inside joke sounds to outsiders who are only familiar with the more prevalent meaning, especially when you do not denote that the branch fell rather than supported his weight.
Idk man, if you don’t understand a joke, asking for clarification is fine, but I’m generally going to assume that anyone commenting on Texan politics is familiar with Texas politics
You likely assume wrong, this is [email protected] not [email protected]. More people that don’t live in TX will likely see this than do, tbh.
I did indeed ask for clarification, and it was given, and then I explained the confusion. You do you, but texas isn’t as big as you think lol.
This news story is about Texas politics
Mmhmm, so you only comment on texas related political things, being from texas, and expect everyone reading a thread about texas to be from texas?
