I can’t believe i used the word doge to describe a government agency. I hate the internet.

    I’m still fucking bitter that the meme Elon latched onto was Doge. I fucking loved that meme and hate that it now has ties to fucking fascism.

      Par for the course. Nazis have done the same thing to everything from Pepe the frog to the swastika itself.

        Do I remember correctly that Pepe dies in the comic because the author didn’t want to keep producing material for them to hijack?

        It’s from Homestar Runner originally and unfortunately the Nazis picked the correct pronunciation

        ;_; but I pronounce it that way - like the old Venetian head of state.

        I pronounce it like doge. You know, like dog but with a long o, since that’s normally what happens when you add an e at the end of a word.

        Con, cone.

        Dog, doge!
