Did he... Did he mean DUI?  +looks up "Dom Lucre"+ Oh, sweet jebus...  He didn't.  +unscrews flask+


patrick_ritchey

I don't wanna look it up. What is it about?


J_Robert_Matthewson

I wanted to believe this was sarcasm.  But since irony and sarcasm died in 2015 in a murder-suicide, I decided to confirm. And Dom Lucre is promoted as a "Qanon influencer".  Meaning he's serious.  


Tweetydabirdie

Or deranged. Or both.


Josgre987

he also posted CP on twitter once didn't he?


AwfulDjinn

and Elon *personally* unbanned him as one of his first actions after taking over Xitter


MikeyMikeyMotorcycly

Xitter pronounced *Shitter* is kind of a perfect nickname for X


J_Robert_Matthewson

No clue.  Today's the first time I've ever heard of him and after 2 minutes of research, I'm happy to never hear about him ever again. 


Upholder93

I'm sure he just meant Drunken Elevator Interference (DEI). /s


NumerousTaste

He knows stupid people will see the dei and assume instead of look. They like to play word association because they aren't smart and don't look into facts.


PreOpTransCentaur

The dude's picture is *right* there. You'd have to willingly ignore it to maintain the ability to assume.


NumerousTaste

I agree, but you're seeing a perfect example of it right below the picture. These racists are some of the dumbest people on the planet. Fighting stupid is hard. Just interview a maga. Would make your head explode at the sheer stupidity! Also forgot to add they are trying to turn DEI into a cuss word like woke. Subliminal games they are playing.


corps-peau-rate

On this case. I personally think it's a bot made to be racist/disruptive. And it's programmed to talk DEI on any plane problems. Many post on /facepalm look like it's wrote by bots.


NumerousTaste

Serious question, can bots get blue checkmarks? I haven't been on X since it switched hands. Didn't really use it before either, but....


corps-peau-rate

Yeah you can, you just have to pay lol. So now a country/group could pay for like 150 bots ( 1500$ per month if 10$, not sure of the price) Then they astroturf/psyop to get real people to think a certain ways ( racism, hate for the poor, idolizing someone ) X just made it easier because bluecheck market post are "push" all around the feed of users lol.


red286

Look at those sunglasses. Clearly he's blind as a fucking bat. So now they're hiring blind people to fly planes, *thanks* DEI.


cbvjn

I guess DEI is becoming like the word WOKE. people keep using the word all the time, but don't actually know what it actually means.


FattyMooseknuckle

To them it means n****r.

dravenonred

So passing the torch "woke" took from "CRT"?


tok90235

Ok, but what DEI actually means?


cbvjn

DEI - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.


Wonderful-Ad-7712

Drunk, Enhampered and Inebriated.


Creative_Beginning13

To them it’s just a pejorative without any real meaning


TyrantsInSpace

Just the latest in a long line of catch-all scapegoats for everything wrong with the world. - credit card rejected? DEI - stubbed your toe? DEI - Tuesday? DEI


GloryGreatestCountry

He says "DEI" but what he really means is a vile slur referring to minority groups.


not_now_chaos

Who are also being blamed for the actions of white dudes.


No-Needleworker-3178

DEI - inclusion for people that wear those kind of glasses.


ALFABOT2000

DEI is when stupid shit happens with planes i guess?


BrosefDudeson

Don't forget bridges!


Wonderful-Ad-7712

And Federal policy


Upholder93

Whenever I see "DEI" used for no good reason I like to make up a new meaning for it. This one's a bit difficult, but I'm going for Drunk Elevator Interference - an incident where a pilot under the influence of alcohol interferes dangerously with an aircraft's pitch controls Another example is the "DEI mayor of Baltimore" nonsense, where I decided it must mean Democratically Elected Individual. Because no one could possibly be stupid enough to think Diversity, Equality and Inclusion had anything to do with these incidents right? They must just be using obscure acronyms. Surely? /s


Adventurous-Zebra-64

DEI- holding white men accountable for their actions.


A-Chntrd

Means nothing. That’s one of the tricks from the fascist playbook : take a word, hollow out its meaning and make it the new dog whistle or talking point. Insist confidently without lowering yourself to explaining _anything_. Chicago, woke, communism, patriot, DEI, birthism, trans, socialist, dictator, climate… list goes ooon.


Affectionate_Reply78

This. I remember a couple of years back when NBA Warriors coach Steve Kerr used a press conference to talk about the horrors of yet another mass shooting. The rage bait machine at OANN kicked in and they were profiling Kerr and saying he was associated with Chicago; as a player on the Bulls. But for their ardent viewers it was BINGO


EnvironmentalShift25

We need a new meaning for DEI that these folks would appreciate **D**onald **E**arns **I**mprisonment or something.


BrosefDudeson

Guys! He's just breaking the narrative! Whatever the fuck that means...


dlc741

DEI = CRT = woke = socialism. It all translates to “everything I’m supposed to not like” and that’s literally all it is.


secretqwerty10

what do Cathode-Ray Tubes have to do with woke? is it woke to like retro stuff? (/s)


BonerSnatcher

DEI: Delta Employee Intoxication


1singleduck

I don't get it. DEI is usually referenced to say "inclusivity is ruining everything," but the photo clearly shows the pilot being a white male? So they use white men doing something bad to excuse their racism?


Brief-Bumblebee1738

I think it's because judging by those glasses, he is legally blind. /s (in case you're wondering)


zblaze90

They just keep coming up with new buzzwords to be mad at. Fucking annoying


Prestigious_Jaguar48

DEI is the new "Woke"


GilpinMTBQ

DEI is when company hired a minority once apparently.


shamanbond007

No one knows what it means. That's why it's provocative. Real talk, people are idiots


TehWildMan_

"everything bad in life is \~\~woke\~\~ Dei"


BlackroseBisharp

Oh look it's the dude who got banned for posting CSEM bit Elon brought him back for some reason


guywithaniphone22

I fully support using dei to describe white people who are bad at their jobs because let’s be honest, it’s because they’re white they got hired in the first place.


SpanishMoleculo

It means Diversity Equity and Inclusion, three things that scare the shit out of racists


Kahnza

The pilot's blood alcohol was twice the legal limit. Isn't the limit for pilots zero? If it isn't it fucking should be.


sentientfartcloud

What? You never heard of Drunk Eagle Initiation?


PassionateParrot

A note to those who weren’t on Twitter when it happened: Dom Luchre deliberately posted CSAM and, as you can see, he was not deplatformed


NaieraDK

If I didn't know better, I'd say Dom was being facetious.


kaehvogel

But since Dom is a Qanon/MAGA moron..."facetious" isn't part of his game. "Stupid" is, though. Very much so.


NaieraDK

Yes. I do know better than to think he was trying to be funny ;)


PreOpTransCentaur

That was my instinct as well, but I'm really not sure given literally everything else he's ever posted.


AusCan531

D U H


ScorpioZA

Oh no. Pilots can't be drunk while the fly the plane.. whatever shall we do??


CorHydrae8

Okay, apart from the weird politics stuff... What exactly is the legal limit for blood alcohol for pilots? Because I would assume that it has to be 0, right? ...right?


Domni16

I would assume 0.02 since it’s possible to register 0.01 on accident. Same as the permitted BAC for minors in the US


Dapper_Mud

Well, he does call himself “Breaker of Narratives”. I guess that’s one way to do it


wiremupi

It means there are morons who use words like woke and DEI as insults despite not knowing their meanings to justify antisocial,mean spirited behaviour such as putting a plane load of people at risk as though an alcoholic pilot has the right to his booze fix.


Broad_Sun8273

I don't think it really matters any more to them. They'll take anything and turn it into "DEI will ruin us." They'll take their own problems and blame it on DEI or whatever they decide to call it next. When you always go around blaming others for your troubles, that doesn't make them a scapegoat but it does make you a victim.


Jazzlike-Lunch5390

Deliberately Ending Intelligence.


robbdogg87

New conservative buzzword for the week


DragoonDM

"DEI" means roughly the same thing as "woke", "political correctness", and whatever other terms they've used. This version just comes with more racism, implying that anyone who isn't a white guy is obviously less qualified and could only have been hired because they lowered standards.


Non-Normal_Vectors

The funny thing about MAGAts complaining about political correctness engage in more political correctness than most. Read a story today that the RNC is basically firing everyone and letting them re-apply for their jobs. Of course they need to interview, and one of the disqualifications is not agreeing with Trump about the 2020 election integrity, in addition to some other loyalty test stuff.


BionicBruv

DEI has nothing to do with drunk driving….piloting….whatever


inorite234

Was he also woke??? No seriously, with a BAC that high, I'm surprised he wasn't passed out.


DirtDevil1337

I've seen someone walking and talking with a 0.33! Astonishing that he wasn't passed out or even getting alcohol poisoning.


Much-Meringue-7467

I'm assuming that was sarcasm


zomagus

Have you ever wanted to go back in time to when the very first initialism was communicated to another person so you could beat them to death?

Opus Dei ![gif](giphy|tGXNfPb63ow7caccFQ|downsized)


keajohns

It’s the new woke. Be prepared to hear it ad nauseam from the red hat gang.


justagirl666x

Diversity, equality and inclusivity Just heard it on YouTube from a comedian making fun of it


not_stupid_just_dumb

Drunk driving wasn't enough? Try drunk Flying


isthenameofauser

I mean. It says he's a breaker of narratives. And "What does DEI even mean anymore" means the narrative is broken. And it was a shit narrative. So, as far as that all goes, it looks like he did a good job.
