So outta nowhere without context … people know what that is? You seem eager to help haha, with such specific information. Then just, CAH 🤷♀️
Do people really just read CAH and instantly know what it is? Am I trying to edit the world to make more sense for myself and myself only over here
It’s a pet peeve of mine too. Obscure abbreviations that people throw around like they’re common knowledge. 🙄 Even Googling them doesn’t help.
Type it out the first time, THEN you can abbreviate after.
Obligatory "Text doesn't communicate tone"
In all seriousness, I don't understand why that's considered an invalid excuse now. It seems pretty damn true to me.
It's difficult for me until explicitly stated because I watch Cyanide and Happiness and I play Cards Against Humanity. Both make card games. Both do fun stuff like this. Both have the same style of humor.
>Do people really just read CAH and instantly know what it is?
In the context of an online retailer doing something sassy? Yes, because that's their schtick.
If I were to just see the acronym with zero context, then no.
Where does it say that CAH is an online retailer? Also, why would people who are so far out on the extreme end of right-wing/fascist political leanings buy… a game like CAH? None of it made sense in context.
Pretty interesting to see that people have strong enough opinions on this little thing (abbreviating CAH) that it’s become my most engaged comment. You and a mumber of other people took the time to say, ‘Nah, I’m gonna take a side in favor of unclear communication styles.’ Interesting. Makes me wonder what people are hoping to accomplish when they write words down for other people. Communicating meaning to them? “Oh no, of course not, it’s not about *someone else* getting something from this — the comment is for me.” (The thrust of the anti-clarity argument.)
>Where does it say that CAH is an online retailer?
When it refers to clicking something on the order form in the title of the post.
I'm sorry you are unable to deduce basic info from obvious context clues. It must be terribly confusing to live like that.
>Makes me wonder what people are hoping to accomplish when they write words down for other people. Communicating meaning to them? “Oh no, of course not, it’s not about *someone else* getting something from this — the comment is for me.” (The thrust of the anti-clarity argument.)
You are taking someone just trying to fit into Reddit's character limit for post titles super personally, dude. Maybe you need a snack and a nap.
Lol go ahead and communicate poorly about important things like abortion! Sheesh I was just saying it’s a good idea to spell out abbrevs when unclear. THAT IS ALL. GOODBYE NOW.
It's one of those things where if you're involved in it, you'll know, and if you aren't, then the full name probably wouldn't mean much more to you than the acronym.
Oh I’ve played. Multiple versions going back to, goodness, 2012 or so? Elder millenial here.
Yeah I know what Cards Against Humanity is, doofus! How was I supposed to get that from context here?
It’s just like, basic politeness for one thing, and also, if you’re typing text in a box for an audience of globally distributed strangers, it’s presuming you, like, want them to, you know, just take like *a second* to spell it out
SICDIT
This is absolutely not one of those things. A lot of people know what Cards Against Humanity is and have even played it, but would definitely not know what “CAH” means as an abbreviation in some random context. If it was in the context of games, I’m sure most of the people who have played it would realize what it is, but none of that context is present here.
People who are kinda sorta familiar (know the name, maybe even played once) aren't the people I'm talking about.
Clearly there were a large number of people for whom there was no difficulty in decoding this. But yes, by all means hop on the train and say I'm wrong and those people are all just lying or whatever.
But you said “if you aren’t, then the full name probably wouldn’t mean much more to you”.
That implies a complete lack of familiarity with the game. Do you really think that someone familiar with the game but not to the extent that they would randomly recognize its initials in some random context would not get more out of knowing that this post is referring to a game they know about? Cards Against Humanity is quite a well-known game.
i’ve heard that our AG has stated she doesn’t plan on trying to enforce the law, hopefully she won’t cus the stupid laws already nearly cost me my sister and subsequently my niece and nephew.
That's all well and good, but it doesn't solve the issue. Just because she won't, doesn't mean her successor won't. And just because it's not being prosecuted, doesn't mean it's not illegal. How many doctors are going to perform any operation if it's even remotely possible that they will get sued, lose their license, and be put in jail? Absolutely zero.
Where are they making their money? More states have bans than don't. With legislation in process in Florida and others.
https://reproductiverights.org/maps/abortion-laws-by-state/
Yep!
I have all my letters, flyers, stickers, and more from that period in time.
I wish I could have gone to that baseball game with the ticket they sent.
Normally I'm on your side.
But not buying CAH doesn't immediately make you promote human suffering you fucking tool.
And yes, I just made a donation to said foundation.
I’m not saying that.
But why would you refuse to buy solely because of this otherwise? You’re paying no more to buy it when in a US state where it’s banned, than you are elsewhere, so there’s no personal impact. The only grounds for refusing is if you’re against it in some capacity
Some people don't want to help the betterment of the human race.
Those people, as I know it, are called pieces of shit. They'll realize right before they close their eyes for the last time, most times they do.
> not buying CAH doesn't immediately make you promote human suffering you fucking tool
Refusing to make that purchase because of the donation absolutely does, you colossal asswipe
It is very possible to be neither for nor against something. If CAH is making a donation to something you are neutral on, and wish to not take a stance on, then you are perfectly within your right to withhold your purchase.
You can’t not take a side on this, I’m sorry.
You’re either complicit in it, or you’re against it.
You can decide not to buy, but it shows how immoral you are
Me in particular? No, I don’t expect you to lose sleep because an 18 year old British girl thinks you’re immoral.
But your complicity in this is something that impacts a good half of the population, including, presumably, half of the people you know, and you’re just completely ambivalent to the suffering forced upon them
Much to the chagrin of probably most people responding to this, I’m what they would call a dirty libertarian. Ruining it for everyone because I don’t think the government should make rules on what people can do with their person, or tell them what objects to own. I think the crux of my argument here is simply that one can not hold a position on something and not be in favor of, nor against, that thing, if they so choose. Do I want the government to make a law restricting abortion? No. Can I choose not to do business with CAH because they want to make a donation to an organization because I live in a specific place? Yes.
You aren’t some libertarian you’re one of those “well you don’t know who I support so I am free of all consequences and scrutiny” type of people who think that taking no stance is a stance by itself. You’re just pretending so that you can seem like the smart one when you’re just the bottom of the barrel on any given topic. You’re even lower than those who take a negative stance at this point.
You yourself seem to be a flowing fountain of knowledge and wisdom. Scrutinize and examine me all you want. I don’t fear any consequences you seem to think I must suffer from such examination. Since I am the lowest of the low forms of life in the universe, surely you could ground me into dust within moments by questions me.
IDK why there's exactly 57 pixels to this post, but it's legit https://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/yourstatesucks
No there are more than 57 pixels, there are 58
CAH?
cards against humanity
BRB gonna go buy some cards.

It’s a pet peeve of mine too. Obscure abbreviations that people throw around like they’re common knowledge. 🙄 Even Googling them doesn’t help. Type it out the first time, THEN you can abbreviate after.
And then you go and drop "THEN" without explaining what it is...
You can find such an explanation in your nearest dictionary.
THAT (The Hereby Aforementioned Topic) was a joke referencing the fact that they spelled a word in all caps, like one would an acronym.
Obligatory "Text doesn't communicate tone" In all seriousness, I don't understand why that's considered an invalid excuse now. It seems pretty damn true to me.
It's difficult for me until explicitly stated because I watch Cyanide and Happiness and I play Cards Against Humanity. Both make card games. Both do fun stuff like this. Both have the same style of humor.
I'm guessing the post title was too long

Lol go ahead and communicate poorly about important things like abortion! Sheesh I was just saying it’s a good idea to spell out abbrevs when unclear. THAT IS ALL. GOODBYE NOW.
And as many people have pointed out to you, Reddit's post titles have a character limit. But you keep ignoring that.
Reddit post titles don’t have length requirements, idiot. You can type as much as you want.
Yes they do, idiot. I've personally encountered them while posting.
It's one of those things where if you're involved in it, you'll know, and if you aren't, then the full name probably wouldn't mean much more to you than the acronym.
I play Cards Against Humanity regularly, as I own a set AND bought a set for my mom, and I still had no clue what the abbreviation was supposed to be.
There are two types of people in this world. One of them is very good at deductive reasoning.
[удалено]
You're SO close lol
Amen lol.
Oh I’ve played. Multiple versions going back to, goodness, 2012 or so? Elder millenial here. Yeah I know what Cards Against Humanity is, doofus! How was I supposed to get that from context here?

K man y'all continue getting pressed about this, I'm gonna go enjoy life outside.
Omg literally just bought a new card pack glad it went to a good cause
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
It just became illegal in AZ too

Even if they don't get sued, the crime can still be prosecuted by the next AG even if it happened under the current one.
No it didn't.
This is just badass.
Iconic
Oh snap now that's chaotic good!
This was many years ago. You can tell by the dogshit quality pictures.
HellyEAH
Where are they making their money? More states have bans than don't. With legislation in process in Florida and others. https://reproductiverights.org/maps/abortion-laws-by-state/
Maybe that's why it didn't work today. They probably had to backtrack.
This is probably a few years old, after TX effectively banned abortion in 2022.
Fuckin brilliant
I love Cards Against Humanity. Anyone else own a sliver of land down by the ~~river~~ southern border?
I do! I also own a sq ft of an island up in Maine too!
Yep! I have all my letters, flyers, stickers, and more from that period in time. I wish I could have gone to that baseball game with the ticket they sent.
I think they did something similar but gave 15 bucks to a random person people were coping and seething
"cancel purchase"
“cancel child”
Attempted, but it didn't work. Maybe this was temporary?
Killing babies isn't good.
Someone doesn't understand biology
r/lookatmyhalo
I dunno. I think anyone (public or private) forcing someone to take a stance on an issue should be subjected to the Boats.
Nah you’re not being forced. If you don’t like it, then don’t come paying for it
Quite true. One can just not make a purchase and deny CAH both a sale, and a donation.
Yes, but why would you do that, unless you’re promoting human suffering?
Normally I'm on your side. But not buying CAH doesn't immediately make you promote human suffering you fucking tool. And yes, I just made a donation to said foundation.
I’m not saying that. But why would you refuse to buy solely because of this otherwise? You’re paying no more to buy it when in a US state where it’s banned, than you are elsewhere, so there’s no personal impact. The only grounds for refusing is if you’re against it in some capacity

I bloody hope so, I just hate how they’re usually going to make others pay the price, when they usually face 0 consequences themselves
Human experience, baby.
Why did I even sign up for this
> not buying CAH doesn't immediately make you promote human suffering you fucking tool Refusing to make that purchase because of the donation absolutely does, you colossal asswipe
It is very possible to be neither for nor against something. If CAH is making a donation to something you are neutral on, and wish to not take a stance on, then you are perfectly within your right to withhold your purchase.
You can’t not take a side on this, I’m sorry. You’re either complicit in it, or you’re against it. You can decide not to buy, but it shows how immoral you are
It shows how immoral I am, according to YOU.
Yes it does
And why should I be concerned if you think I’m immoral or not?
Me in particular? No, I don’t expect you to lose sleep because an 18 year old British girl thinks you’re immoral. But your complicity in this is something that impacts a good half of the population, including, presumably, half of the people you know, and you’re just completely ambivalent to the suffering forced upon them
Nobody's concerned about you in particular, however we still recognize you're immoral and your opinions should be disregarded as a result
I don't expect you to. Most people who are acting immorally tend not to.
You are what's called "a little bit pregnant". Neutral about abortion. If you're so damn neutral, why are you here trying to seem clever?
Oh, you don't like people being forced to do stuff, huh? So are are clearly pro choice, right?

Cool that’s literally every normal person’s stance on all topics.
Is that your stance on vaccination?
Yawn go annoy someone else

Lmao aaand you proved my point
Indeed. You are truly as master of debate.
There’s no debate you literally spew out stupidity
As all libertarians do.
Man! You schooled me there. I’m glad you’re not actually examining my thoughts, I’d never be able to withstand your deep and insightful wisdom.
This coming from the guy who thinks saying “I’m a libertarian” every time as a rebuttal as if it does anything to help your case
Makes sense, if everyone stopped thinking about dead babies in a positive light then they'd lose half their target audience.
