Most new words start in socially isolated communities and radiate outward as those outside the community are exposed. Generally this also causes a loss of original context that can lead to a drift in or loss of meaning from the original use in its origin community.
Both based and maxxing come from the alt-right / incel community originally, I believe.
Linguistics Nerd on YouTube has good videos on the origin of many modern slang words.
My personal opinion on how it went:
Trump Aide: suggests Dana White
Trump: “You mean the wrestler?”
TA: “nono” explains who Dana W White is
T: dreamy eyes “You know that Dana White is a huge guy, massive. Almost as big as me, when I was younger. And so fit! You know I love women, everyone says it, 'Trump loves women,” but a strong virile man like that? He wouldn’t take any shit from the fake news press pool. He could strong arm them, literally I mean this guys arms are so big."
T: calls Dana White for job offer
Edit:
Oop, I was right, I think.

My first reaction was: “Hey, what the fuck?”
And then I realized this is really just a slight escalation of federal US powers assigned to a person who usually wouldn’t have them.
Think of the “No fly” lists. No court, no evidence, no appeal. So really just his usual practicing running a little fascist experiment down there in prep for his expectation of doing the same federally while president.
If I recall, they’ve already begun the process of stripping the governor of all the ridiculous powers they granted not expecting to ever have to share them.
Two people and a third unnamed person. Two deny knowledge of drugs in car, only two are named. Seems like neither would’ve gotten jail time so long as they cleaned up and showed up. Though one didn’t.
Me thinks third guy ended up under a bus. 👀
Very true to life meme. “11 spoonfuls” but actually 16. Same.
I thought it would break down the spending by state or to which PACs it went but, uh, that was not helpful.
How do I unsubscribe from powdered milk memes?
Thank you~

It may be more appropriate in its own post, but to facilitate meaningful discussion in line with this post:
It’s my opinion this comm should institute a “no venting questions” rule in some form.
Many of the posts here are similiar to the following:
“Why isn’t the world in line with my personal beliefs, I’m right?”
“How am I supposed to feel anything good / why are you feeling anything good when bad things exist?”
“Why do people act badly or in ways I do not like?”
The internet is a quite young place over all so it makes sense for a lot of people to still be grappling with the complexity of lifes existential questions, but I think it’s a ding to the comm’s overall attractiveness that quite so many of the posts are both negatively focused and repetitive.

😂 No oopsies allowed guys, this is serious.
I truly believe a good way to see if a company has had its soul removed is seeing how completely scrubbed of any levity it is internally. This is a great sign imo for how steam runs.
Thank you for creating conservation content!
I will kill more, but I’ll feel bad for a second~
As I am not black I don’t know if he’s right really, but I do know anyone can be wrong.
Yep, that one.

I’ve gotten that answer a lot in person too. I totally agree. 😂
You’re so right. I feel like Marley and me so perfectly encapsulates the feeling of the pre-2008 recession white middle-class psyche.
Before being diagnosed I didn’t even realize it wasn’t normal to require 85%+ of your mental focus just to pay attention to the thing you’re doing, rather than using it to actually do what you’re doing.
What do you mean investing in your hobbies shouldn’t feel like the mental equivalent to holding your hand on a hot stove???
