    Offerman is becoming more and more a chad in my eyes and that love story was really really good and its coming from someone who really hates comedy and romance genre but gotta say it was really good.

      Read his books, but only if youā€™re a lefty. I showed my boomer parents and they hated it.

      I know heā€™s liberal in real life, but the way he plays Ron in parks and rec is how I wish conservatives actually were in real life.

        Heā€™s not a ā€œconservativeā€ in Parks and Rec, heā€™s an actual libertarian.

        The greatest trick neocons ever pulled was tricking right libertarians into thinking they were small government.

      When did ā€œa Chadā€ become a positive term? From my experince growing up it was a mid-west term for rich city kids, and then later on the internet it became a red piller/incel term for ā€œAlpha maleā€.

      Is this one of those ā€œtaking it backā€ and owning it things to take power away from red pillers & incels?

      Nick Offerman:

      Iā€™ve enjoyed the hell out of his content. I loved it when Adam Savage This Old House did a shop tour with him. Iā€™ve also listened to his Twainā€™s Feast audiobook and enjoyed the hell out of that. The historical journey through American regional cuisine was amazing. And how much weā€™ve actually lost is even more amazing.

        I think itā€™s just more ironic than ā€œtaking it backā€. I donā€™t think anyone worth respecting would call themselves ā€œa Chadā€.

        So in context for this, a dude doubling down on his gay love story is certainly not what an incel would attribute to ā€œa Chadā€, but the rest of us could look at Nick Offerman and say ā€œdamn, I respect the hell out of that guy, what a Chadā€.

        In my extended friend group we use Chad as a comedyish thing to call someone when they do something cool/good or perceived as cool/good but we mean it. While someone calling themselves a Chad in a non self deprecating way is usually a dbag.

      Nick Offerman is better than any any ā€œChadā€. Heā€™s an Offerman. The Chadā€™s wish they could be as dope as him.
