New York Mets unbridled optimism

    Unbridled optimism copypasta

    AKA the New York Mets or unbridled optimism copypasta, its a rant post from a Yankees fan on r/baseball that became a meme.

    Their unbridled optimism just shows how fucking immature most of them are. One hot ten-game stretch and they're ready to claim the division over the nationals and declare themselves "Kings of New York again? Give me a break. That shit lasted a cool five minutes the last time they made it to the postseason. The callers on WFAN are just horrendous. I appreciate the average Yankee fan since generally they seem to be a lot more educated on the dynamic of baseball season, especially during this cold streak when our guys aren't hitting. Nobody is hitting the panic button. But every Met fan I know will be quick to point out "LOL youre 4 games behind the Red Sox, money doesn't buy wins" like shut the fuck up our entire core is home grown you fucks. Talk to me again when your rotation can survive a full season.
    
    And holy shit, I can't wait until their bullpen fucking implodes because there's no way their relievers can maintain this pace all season. But even guys like Joe and Evan that I respect are saying that the Mets pen is comparable to our pen like give me a break, in your dreams.

    Original (2018)

    I don't mind the Islanders...but goddamn, their fans are just god-awful.
    
    Their unbridled optimism just shows how fucking immature most of them are. One season series sweep and they're ready to claim the division over the Capitals and declare themselves "Kings of New York again? Give me a break. That shit lasted a cool five minutes the last time they made it to the postseason. The callers on WFAN are just horrendous. I appreciate the average Ranger fan since generally they seem to be a lot more educated on the dynamic of the Hockey season, especially during this cold streak when our guys are being traded away. Nobody is hitting the panic button. But every Isles fan I know will be quick to point out "LOL you're still over paying Queen Henrietta, money doesn't buy wins" like shut the fuck up our entire core is home grown you fucks. Talk to me again when your Captain signs a contract.
    
    And holy shit, I can't wait until their Offense fucking implodes because there's no way their Centermen can maintain this pace all season. But even guys like Boomer and Boomer that I respect are saying that the Isles goalie is comparable to our goalie like give me a break, in your dreams.

    Conservatives: your anger is valid. But it’s being hijacked.

      Its a liberal copypasta attempting to convince conservatives to switch to the other side.

      Conservatives: your anger is valid. But it’s being hijacked.
      
      You’re not losing your country because of “woke liberals.” You’re losing it because the powerful need someone to blame — and they picked “them” instead of themselves. Here’s how they fooled you:
      
      🧵 1. You feel like you’re being left behind — and you’re not wrong.
      
      Wages suck. Everything costs more. Your job feels disposable. The world moves fast and doesn’t care how hard you work. That’s real. But the people who caused it? Aren’t drag queens or gender studies majors.
      
      🧵 2. They gave you a villain: “woke.”
      
      They turned your real pain into a culture war. Instead of fixing anything, they convinced you the problem is:
      
       • Pronouns
       • Trans kids
       • College students
       • Diversity
      
      Why? Because outrage is easier to sell, and it points the finger away from them.
      
      🧵 3. You’re angry at liberals because they look like the elite.
      
      They have degrees. They read the news. They live in cities. But those aren’t the people outsourcing your jobs, jacking up housing prices, or lobbying to keep your wages low. The real elite are laughing — at all of us.
      
      🧵 4. You’ve been taught to hate what you don’t understand.
      
      Because fear is easy to sell. Fear of immigrants. Of queer people. Of ideas you’ve never encountered. And every time you get mad at “them,” you’re doing exactly what they want. And it’s easier to throw hate at those you encounter in your community than billionaires you’ll never meet.
      
      🧵 5. “Woke” isn’t ruining your life — billionaires are.
      
      They’re stripping your benefits, privatizing healthcare, making record profits while you fight each other online about bathrooms. And while you’re arguing about flags or books, they’re buying your neighborhood.
      
      🧵 6. You’re not conservative anymore — you’re reactive.
      
      You’ve been trained to respond to every issue with rage, sarcasm, or mockery. Ask yourself: when was the last time you felt hopeful about a policy, a leader, or the future? Because they don’t want you hopeful. They want you mad.
      
      🧵 7. The truth is: you’ve been lied to.
      
      Not by your neighbors. Not by “the woke mob.” But by the people who need your vote, your loyalty, and your outrage — to stay rich and powerful while your life stays hard.
      
      🧵 8. You deserve better.
      
      You deserve healthcare. You deserve a living wage. You deserve to retire without fear. You deserve truth, not distraction. But to get that, you have to stop fighting the people who aren’t your enemy. 🚨 They told you the culture war was about values. It’s not. It’s about control. The more distracted you are, the less you’ll notice who’s robbing you. And right now, you’re willing to hand them the keys to your poverty and cheering any libtards while you do it.

      Mouse Bites

        Mouse bites copypasta

        Its a House (TV series) copypasta satirizing the structure of an average House MD episode. It starts with the patient being close to death as a result of a treatment, then House prescribes an unusual treatment (in this case mouse bites) to nurse the patient back to health. Its a meme originating back from 2007 in a forum discussing House.

        CHASE: House, we need to cure this patient. He is very sick.
        HOUSE: Did you try the medicine drug?
        CHASE: I did try the medicine drug.
        HOUSE: Only stupid people try the medicine drug. You are stupid.
        PATIENT: I would rather not be sick.
        HOUSE: You are stupid too. Did you take stupid drug?
        FOREMAN: I gave patient stupid drug.
        HOUSE: You are a black man.
        FOREMAN: This vexes me.
        PATIENT: I have blood from my nose that is dripping.
        CAMERON: That's bad!
        PATIENT: Also I was bitten by mice due to my poor hygiene.
        CUTTY: You need hygiene drug. Also, I have not spoken in awhile.
        HOUSE: No! Hygiene drug will kill Patient! He needs mouse bites to live!
        CHASE: [Shocked]
        CAMERON: [Shocked]
        FOREMAN: [Vexed]
        HOUSE: More mouse bites!
        CUTTY: I forbid this.
        HOUSE: Don't care.
        CHASE: [Gets mice]
        HOUSE: [Makes mouse bite serum]
        PATIENT: I feel better. No more nose blood! Thank you doctor!
        HOUSE: I am very smart.
        WILSON: I, too, am in this episode.
        FOREMAN: This vexes me.
        
        ~FIN~

        Part 2 (?)

        ..
        PATIENT: I have blood from my nose that is dripping.
        CAMERON: That's bad!
        HOUSE: Puncture his lumbar!
        FOREMAN: No! Its juice will leak! All lumbars need lumbar juice!
        HOUSE: I say puncture his lumbar! I need his sweet lumbar juice for my leg, which is ouchy!
        FOREMAN: [punctures lumbar]
        HOUSE: [scowls at vial of lumbar juice] There are mice in this lumbar juice! I do not want it now! [Throws lumbar juice to the ground and glares] Also, I am high on goofballs!
        PATIENT: Also I was bitten by mice due to my poor hygiene.
        CUTTY: You need hygiene drug. Also, I have not spoken in awhile.

              Im still safe. The election hasn’t happened yet- theres still hope.

              I get changed, head into the kitchen and make myself a soylent shake to wash down the lorazepam and triflupromazine Ive had to be on since 2016. I add a few shots of canola oil because its a heart healthy fat (I trust the science), and my doctor says Im malnourished and exceedingly underweight for being a 30 year old male.
              
              Trump has made my life a living nightmare. Fascism won. I sit down legs crossed (in order to not perpetuate toxic masculinity by taking up too much space where women exist). Unable to sleep, my mind ruminates on the possibility of ending up in a camp around this time next year. I hope it never comes to that. She has to win.
