Presidential Memes

So if you have a facebook, twitter, instagram, or any type of social media, you've probably heard of memes. Awhile ago I did a post on the presidential election and the memes we can take from it. Well now that the Cheeto puff known as Trump has somehow been elected, we have more memes!

Now saltiness is an understatement when I heard Trump won, and I'm sure many others share my feelings. Maybe this post will lighten your day.

It's the end of the 2016 presidential race and the people of the United States hated all the candidates so much that nobody voted. The government is in a panic trying to figure out what to do to decide who the next president will be. Finally, Barack Obama comes up with an idea: a literal presidential race. The three candidates would run a lap around the White House and the person with the best time would become president. Bernie Sanders goes first, but being as old as he is, he takes about 24 minutes. Trump goes next and arrives with a time of 14:26. Hillary Clinton goes last, running as fast as she can, trampling the flowers and shrubs in her way in an effort to beat Trump's time. She finally crosses the finish line at just under ten minutes.
"Aha!" She exclaims, "That must be some kind of record!"
"I don't think so," says Obama, "Bush did 9:11"

A plethora of memes are just a google search away! Here are a few of the best memes I've found of the presidential election:

I also recommend watching two of Dave Chappelle's SNL specials on youtube. Here's two links:

As Obama said, the sun will arise rise in the morning, so let's stay hopeful that Trump doesn't screw up. And remember, just because someone voted for Trump doesn't mean they're racist sexist bigots. They have legitimate worries as well. There's enough hate in this world already, so let's be happy and enjoy some memes.

Curved

I'm not quite sure which is worse. Being left on *read* or being hit with a "K." In my opinion, getting curved can be a really annoying thing. Urban dictionary defines curved as "To reject or Stand up. Curvin -means the same thing except it means your doing the rejecting or the standing up of someone"

I'm going to be using the term curved in a much broader sense. For this post, I'll be using it to describe being "rejected" in text form. Now it doesn't even have to be someone you're trying to pull. It could just be a friend you're talking to. Basically, if someone curves you in a text, it means they probably don't know how to respond and/or don't want to respond but are being polite. 

Example:

"Yo bro I'm throwing a party tonight"
"O"
"It's gonna be rly fun"
"K"
"You gonna come through?"
*read*

Most of the time I try to carry the conversation, but it just isn't fun to text someone who repeatedly replies with one letter/word.

As for the urban dictionary definition of curved, I guess you could be texting 'bae' and they hit you with the "oh, that's cool" or "lol" or just any phrase that kills the vibe. If they follow it with a question then it's cool with me, but if they continue with their zero effort replies and force me to carry the conversation, I usually get outa there real quick.

Anyone else have people that reply with short phrases/put no effort into their texts?
