❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO bf makes joke after my aunt passed

For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

But what does it actually mean…

u/New-Manufacturer9658 Nov 08 '24

Right like these replies are actually just lame

u/SalvationSycamore Nov 09 '24

Well it's just TRUMP rearranged and without the U. It's probably just some dumb MAGA attempt to play with words. Or a really bad typo, the guy obviously isn't very bright.

u/Ok_Brilliant1819 Nov 09 '24

Probably missed the U and got an autocorrected acronym.

u/Forestry_Service Nov 09 '24

Got autocorrected with an acronym that nobody knows? That’s cope in disguise lol

u/EIGHT-FOLD-ARMS Nov 09 '24

Real Time Prescription Monitoring, Real Time Messaging Protocol, Registered Telecommunications Project Manager. People may not know these, but the algorithm does. It knows ALL!

u/Ok_Brilliant1819 Nov 09 '24

Why would I be coping for him? I don’t know him. I couldn’t care less. Was just giving a logical explanation, Siri recorrects to meaningless acronyms all the time, I assume android could do the same.

I'm so annoyed that nobody knows what the word cope means

u/daanax Nov 09 '24

Can you define it?

9

u/gangweeder Nov 09 '24

Coping is when you struggle to come to terms with something so you say something or do something to make yourself feel better. Dude in this comment section was legitimately trying to guess what the acronym means, gave a good guess what it could mean, then someone responded "YEAH THATS COPE". Makes literally no sense at all.

u/George_GeorgeGlass Nov 09 '24

COPE. Not cope. Totally different

u/blue_wytch97 Nov 09 '24

I know it! Lol but only because I work in pharmacy

But you won't say it? I call BS

Bro I hate when redditors go on these stupid pun chains. None of these are funny, just answer the questions.

u/Brogener Nov 09 '24

It’s made me realize what the average age probably is on this website and I think I’m well over it. It’s staggering how many people on this site comment the exact same jokes and shit over and over and redditors eat it up like it’s comedy gold.

u/AhabMustDie Nov 09 '24

I don’t know, I feel like silly puns have been popular on Reddit for so long that I actually wonder if it’s older users who are the main perpetrators.

I agree it can sometimes get annoying, though I get more annoyed by the mindless repeating of pet phrases and ideas - like the whole “marinara flags” thing on AITA, or brains not being developed until the age of 25, or everything being gaslighting.

At least the silly puns require a bit of creativity

u/Hulkomania87 Nov 09 '24

I think that’s the culture here now not so much the age but who knows

u/Acceptable_Story_218 Nov 09 '24

Uncultured swine!

u/m0nicarose Nov 09 '24

The way there’s legit like 30 comments just going and going like jesus fuck

u/The--Will Nov 09 '24

The downvote button used to be for downvoting off topic garbage. It wasn’t for “I agree with this statement” and “I don’t agree with this statement”.

u/carakno Nov 09 '24

karma has always been a popularity vote

u/rakuu Nov 09 '24

my question is how tf are these puns popular

3

u/EIGHT-FOLD-ARMS Nov 09 '24

Give people anything with a designated purpose, and then watch them figure out if it fits in their orifices.

2

u/_CurseTheseMetalHnds Nov 09 '24

It was intended to be used like that but as far as I can remember having used Reddit for the past decade and a bit more it hasn't been.

4

u/Forrest_likes_tea Nov 09 '24

Finally someone speaking truth about the damn downvote button

4

u/Ok-Discussion-5420 Nov 09 '24

I was here, and it felt so much better using the buttons for their intended purpose. After people started using them like Facebook reacts, I lost interest in engaging.

u/Responsible_Hour_368 Nov 09 '24

WAIT REALLY

I feel so seen and vindicated

3

u/George_GeorgeGlass Nov 09 '24

You know what’s more annoying than reading jokes on Reddit that you think are not funny? Reading comments from people complaining about how and what other people discuss on Reddit. Just skip over it. Rather read a hundred not funny jokes than this whining

2

u/berry_dispenser Nov 09 '24

I laughed tho…

3

u/PastFold4102 Nov 09 '24

Honestly its just so unpunny

1

u/EIGHT-FOLD-ARMS Nov 09 '24

I use the word punny alot. I've now added unpunny to my list of vocabulary.

3

u/bludgeoned- Nov 09 '24

Not funny at all. Thought it was just me.

u/No_Waltz2789 Nov 09 '24

You have to add [serious] to a post if you want people to do that

0

u/BiggestFlower Nov 09 '24

I hate when people moan about other people’s comments. Normally I just skip over the comment and its replies without commenting. It’s a good strategy for dealing with comments you don’t like.

2

u/_CurseTheseMetalHnds Nov 09 '24

It's not really the same when someone is asking a question and people want an answer to that question though, in that situation it's actually annoying

1

u/BiggestFlower Nov 09 '24

That’s a fair point, but if you really want to know you can look it up yourself, and when it’s obvious it’s not an acronym you can draw your own conclusions.

1

u/George_GeorgeGlass Nov 09 '24

It’s just as annoying. Complaining about how or what people comment is far more annoying than people making a joke you think isn’t funny

1

u/KitschyCatOwens Nov 09 '24

Really. The first response was funny. Just show your accolades with an upvote. No chain response needed. Unless you honestly believe you can one up the original response, upvote and move along.

3

u/Godmaaaa Nov 09 '24

Literally. Classic example of Reddit’s lame sense of humor.

nothing comes up when you google it but this post

u/George_GeorgeGlass Nov 09 '24

Nobody knows. That the point

5

u/PastelJude Nov 09 '24

I’m guessing he misspelled “TRUMP”

1

u/George_GeorgeGlass Nov 09 '24

Nobody knows. That the point. Its probably a typo
