    Funny story, so I ended up hooking up with the bartender at my local spot years ago. But was completely unaware.

    Went there pretty much every day after work for a beer and dinner or a snack. It was a popular working ppl bar. Pretty much made friends with the whole staff over the years, went to weddings, gave relationship advice, etc. The bartender and I would often sneak to the bathroom to do some blow.

    But this whole time I’m like yeah, sure I’m friends with some people here but mostly it’s just when I’m here and definitely nothing romantic. One night I ended up closing out, had just broke up with someone, and she insisted I stay while she closed up. Then she was like, you wanna stay at my place? I was like yeah I’ve had a bit to drink that’s really nice she was concerned. So I’m still 100% oblivious, sitting on her bed while she went to grab a beer, until she comes back in just in lingerie and beers. We didn’t drink the beers haha.

      Hardtimes, they are a similar site and easily confused with the Onion, but let’s give proper credit to the publication.

          Yeah, Anyone that follows this community would probably recognize my username because I post a lot of these articles… and the sidebar makes it clear this is a community for all sorts of satire sites. But I think it would’ve been better named “satire” rather than “the onion”

          Every time I post something here there’s someone in the comments that’s confused about the fact that this sub welcomes content from multiple satire sites and not just The Onion.

          The Onion is to satire sites what Nintendo was to consoles for parents and grandparents of the 80s/90s.

          I totally understand the reason why there is confusion, and almost didn’t reply because it felt nitpicky. Completely fair.

            I feel like we both mentioned facts there - hopefully we added something to the conversation, that there’s some nuance wherein it both is but also is not The Onion, depending on which “it” we’re talking about:-).

    This feels like a statement that’s definitely true and only counts as satire because nobody has tested it yet

    Nah— no service worker would ever think that JD Vance is interested in them, or anything other than himself
