Title: Based
Post by: Ben on August 01, 2022, 05:57:45 PM: Based.

This seems to be the popular slang for the year. I see it everywhere and finally looked it up because I was getting confused as to its use. I was at first interpreting it as "grounded" as in, "He is grounded in common sense." Then I saw it used other ways. I suppose I'm confused because it appears to be used for so many different things that you might as well throw it in anywhere you want.

Based APS, yo.

I'm from a generation to whom "woman" means a female humanoid, "man" means a male humanoid, "yes" means affirmative, and "no" means negative. It seems like today words don't have real meanings, they means whatever the speaker happens to think they mean at that particular moment.

If it doesn't insult them now just means they haven't gotten to it yet.

Destroy the language, you cause confusion and discontent.

Once you reject the official narrative what we should actually believe isn't really addressed by him though, other than an appeal to reality.

Those who who are in the matrix, rejecting being "based", will of course without irony paraphrase Pontius Pilate and say "what is reality?"
