Adapt

No amount of adaptation is going to appease someone whose selection criteria is a fat meaty 7 inch cock and 6 firgures a year or "ambition" (which roughly translates to "Well, he doesn't have to have money now but if he's going money later then it's fine)

Hym "BEHOLD! I will now adapt to women's selection criteria... By tying a paper weight to my dick and waiting for it to meet their standards........................ Just give it a second.................................................... You're right............ This is definitely what I should be doing................................. I'm glad I'm living my life to appease someone who's indifferent to whether or not I die alone......... This is good...... This is good for everyone.................. Definitely better than not pretending you're not a whore and instead just taking $50................ Yep......................... I feel the stretch.......... And soon, so will your daughters....................................... Just a few more seconds.................. Then I'll be good enough..............................

Adapt or die

The infamous catchphrase of PW Botha,delivered in his growling TV speeches during the late 1980s. Basically: "Whites must reform apartheid a bit or face total collapse from unrest, sanctions, and the ANC — adapt or die." It became a dark meme for his stubborn "Total Strategy" — pretend to change while cracking down harder with states of emergency, troops in townships, and cross-border raids.

Township response? Comrades flipped it: "We won't adapt — apartheid must die." Turned his threat into fuel for the struggle.

"PW Botha on TV: 'Adapt or die!' Meanwhile the youth were like, 'Nah bru, you adapt or we make you die — ungovernable style.'"**Adapt or Die**

*noun/phrase* (South African apartheid-era slang, 1980s vibe)
