    Back in November 2020, I remember some meme with text along the lines of “Yes, Biden won. Now, watch me not build a shrine to him on my yard or put his name all over my truck like a fucking weirdo.”

            The classic rant fits here:

            "I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid.

            You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid.

            You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some no primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know."

          Aisforapple makes an astute observation:

          *Finishes the P* “Oh shit, we forgot to make the skin red!” *Pretends to finish the P again*

          It seems plausible that this is fake.

            As insane as it is to get a TRUMP forehead tattoo… it’s at least comparatively insane to go to that amount of effort to make people think that you had got a TRUMP forehead tattoo.

            Like, to what end? “Haha! I made you believe I was a fucking idiot and/or mentally ill! You idiot! You actually believed I was an industrial grade moron!”

            Either that or, a deeply disturbing possibility, she was hoping to inspire someone even dumber than her to get an actual TRUMP forehead tattoo, and that’s getting into realms of sociopathy that I find disturbing to contemplate.

              The end they want is for their shitty insta or tok page to “blow up”.

              There’s no swelling in the photo and the video leaves a bunch of fucking holes in the prank too.

              I unfortunately don’t give enough fucks to bother looking for pics of her in 4 months time to see if it was fake or not, but I’m pretty sure it’s bullshit.

    In Fallout 2 there’s an option to become a slaver, which lets you make some extra money in the short term, but comes with a hefty reputation penalty with almost everyone in the wasteland for the rest of the game, since it comes with a “SLAVER” tatto on your forehead. You’ll be locked out of some quests, some characters refuse to join you and bounty hunters will be harassing you. It’s 100% not worth it, though it can make for a more challenging playthrough.

    Not sure why I just remembered that.

    A long time ago, a manager called me into her office, and pointed at a report I had sent to her about the company’s products. Her words are just as relevant to this situation:

    “This is a career-limiting move.”

          Yes but, there is something called professionalism. No respectable tattoo artist would do this. There is a code of ethics. This can only be done in some shoddy back alley crackhouse for 20 dollars and a blowjob.

      I was thinking that. It’s one thing to be in a mental state to decide you want a Trump tattoo but… strikes me as pretty unethical of the tattoo artist and parlour.

      Forreal. Somewhere in the Modern Primitives book one of those old heads talks about making people wait a year for a face tattoo. If you’re serious enough to come back a year later then it’s not just a passing impulse. Good policy. Kinda doubt homegirl waited a year, but it’s possible.

          Yeah, but it’s not a personality that people want to build a cult around. You generally need someone who’s extremely charismatic. I hate trump more than anyone else on earth right now, but even I have to admit he’s charismatic.

          The other qualifier I believe, is that you can just unabashedly lie to your followers. Just look them dead in the eyes, and lie through your teeth. About politics, their opponents, religion, etc. Just lie straight to their face. Because you’re going to have to. Nobody who’s interested in a cult is going to follow anyone who’s promising mediocre results. You’ve gotta promise the outrageous and unrealistic.

          Bush had none of those qualities.

            I just don’t get how he is charismatic. I’m amazed people say this. At his best, his personality is oily car salesman (and I say this as someone who has relatives I love very much who sell cars) using vague generalities to praise himself or people he wants to boost. That’s how Trump seemed to me twenty years ago. Now he’s all that AND can’t stay on topic for 15 seconds or answer literally any question without diverging into a rant on some other subject entirely.

            Even his body language seems so calculated for “strength” or “power” or whatever. OH SHIT you steepled your fingers, I feel like I have to go along now, etc.

            I find the guy to be a transparently awful performance artist at his best and a doddering barely coherent performance artist at his worst.

            This is not because I hate his guts, this is just how he has always seemed to me.

    Shit’s fake. No redness around the other letters. Also if it was a tattoo the artist should be embarrassed by her shit lines. Michael J Fox could draw a straighter line.

      The visible inflammation and progression of healing you can see on her Tiktok and the video of it being done mean it’s either a very convincing fake or she’s actually that insane. She’s not even American btw.

    One of the funny parts about this is that I think the guys who believe any kind of tattoo is unattractive (and that it’s important women with tattoos know that they find tattoos unattractive) lean more conservative. So she’s likely getting negative feedback already from some of the people she wanted to impress with this.

    And in a decade or two, that name could either be seen similar to Hitler’s or as an embarrassment.

    Plus block tattoos like that are difficult to cover up in a way that looks nice. And lazer removal hurts more than getting the tattoo does, plus isn’t perfect, so she might need that and a cover up to prevent it from being at least faintly visible.
