1. "I feel like it's mad disrespectful that XXXTENTACION didn't even know Lil Nas X before he passed, and yet Lil Nas X still used him for the Deadman's Co-Sign."
2. "It's pathetic that Drake really thought he'd get the Deadman's Co-Sign off 2Pac by using his AI voice model in the diss track on Kendrick."

The sign says you are a stupid faggot clown that doesn't pay enough attention to black lives, extraterrestrial rights, or noisy idiots, and that all of these things matter more than what you were thinking about or paying attention to today.

A person who has a steady, reasonably-paid job that involves upholding standards who is happy to add their signature to any wrong or unethical thing that their employer asks them to sign off. Some examples might be a careless employees working as an Environmental Officer in a local government authority, a Social Worker in an under-staffed Department of Community Services or a Safety Officer at a mine site.
The last person in this position was just a sign-off monkey so for the first couple of months I was mostly sorting out problems.
