#douchebag

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

As a German I have trouble with some more exotic / informal words my American friends are using.

Like Douchebag.

I don‘t know what exactly this is, had a vague exemplar of a douchebag in mind.

Until I saw JD Vance. I‘m convinced he is the very essence of douchebagginess. This is how I imagined it - how he walks, how he talks, what he says.

Am I far off?

Yep, because “woke AI” was the problem.

Do not use this asshole’s social network. Do not buy this asshole’s cars. Lobby the EU to regulate the absolute shit out of this asshole’s businesses. Do not let your governments give this asshole even one cent of your taxes.
