It reminds me of the way the shock absorbers attach to the rear axle of an American pickup truck. One in the front, one in the back.
In most federations wrist straps are not legal, so when training the deadlift grip strength becomes a limiting factor. This leaves you with two options:

hook grip, which hurts and can cause longer term issues according to some, or reverse grip as shown here.

reversing the hands as such will reduce the tendency of the bar to want to 'roll' out of your hands. If you imagine it from the side and draw a free body diagram, it cancels the small moment/torque imparted by double overhand and will make the lifter have that much extra grip capacity.

What if it is not done to "express a strong emotion", but just because I find that particular meme funny? And what if my meme identifies as gay?

What I see is clear evidence that there was a second shooter.

Kid Rock could not have acted alone.

Wake up, people.

Well spotted. Us sane folk are going to have to really pay attention to these details in this brave new world, or something.

But hey, I heard Kid Rock lives in the white house. He's more qualified to serve than anyone else in DC politics.

Agreed. It looked like they were three flaming shotgun blasts that came in from that side.

With such a radical shift in her position, this is not her crusade. She's just pissed and confused, and probably not very bright.

Not much more to it. Is there?

Do you understand that those two photos are not of the same person?

I thought it was the same person. So I guess I'm the one who is confused.

The person on the left (pun not intended, but acknowledged) is just a generic SJW-type. That photo has been around for a long time.

The person on the right is Audrey Hale, a biological female who identifies as male, is white, and recently killed six people at a school in Nashville.

So, the fact that the shirt worn by the biologically male SJW who identifies as non-binary says "WHITE MEN ARE TERRORISTS," combined with the photo of a white woman who identifies as male and recently committed an act of terrorism, is the joke.
