Get to haunting some motherfuckers
Holy shit, that’s some really harsh collateral damage
Been to Abilene—had a bad time. Wouldn’t recommend it. Story seems pretty par for the course.
See, I get that part. I’m still confused why some people cheer for the bully.
Oh shit, that feels like such a simplified and meaningful response. So it’s that in-group/out-group mentality? They aren’t laughing because a marginalized group is being threatened, they’re laughing when the marginalized group is labeled at subhuman and then described as “garbage,” “lazy,” or “unintelligent.”
It’s like how blonde jokes used to be funny if you accepted that “the blonde” was this unbelievably foolish character. But instead of blonde, you substitute x minority or “non-heteronormative” and instead of something creative such as wishing the friends who just escaped the island were back on the island, you just give them monstrous attributes such as being rapists and criminals?
I feel like I’m getting really really close to understanding this, I don’t see how you get from A to B in this kind of “humor” because B isn’t funny and doesn’t seem like anyone someone would want to go…
I actually watched that one and really enjoyed it, but I still don’t get the mentality. Like, I love slapstick humor and a good pratfall gets a big laugh out of me, but I’ve never laughed at someone getting slapped or falling and hurting themselves.
This is actual hurtful “comedy.” How do people enjoy that or think it’s okay?
Let’s say your mom needs chemo treatments and can’t drive herself. You wanna be good to your mom and drive her, but she’s recently developed a behavior from the stress and medication that when she’s in a car with someone, she fights with the driver trying to grab the steering wheel and aim the car at pedestrians.
It’s not her fault that she’s developed this behavior, but you’d think she could at least control herself and stop trying to run over pedestrians, but she says she doesn’t want to. Technically, since you’re driving, you could convince the police that you’re actually the one trying to commit vehicular manslaughter, so while you could deflect the blame, you really know it’s her own fault.
You could also physically restrain your mom, except for all those pesky elder-abuse laws and what kind of person would do that to their mother anyway?
So, what are you gonna do? Will you be a complicit party to your mom’s desire to see pedestrians run over, or will you stop letting her into your car and let her ride the train and bus like an adult? Remember, she’s dying from cancer, but lots of other people experience intrusive thoughts without acting on them and lots of other people don’t have family to support them but still manage just fine.
So, what’s your answer? Support your mom and tell her it’s okay to try killing/hurting people, or let her figure things out for herself and hope that she comes to her senses? She could always prove to you that she realized her behavior was wrong and that she’s ready to ride in the car with you.
And don’t worry, no matter what you answer, I’m still going to call you an asshole, because that’s how reductive internet trolls work. Cuz “fuck you, this is your mom, damn,” and “it’s just simple defensive driving.”
Why is it that when a more progressive comedian tells a joke that everyone says it’s funny and doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings, but when a conservative comedian tells a joke that it’s racist or sexist or transphobic or deeply unsettling?
Like, I get why it’s all those things, but like why is that their version of humor? Like, if someone’s a comedian and they vote for republicans (yes, there’s already a problem) and then they ask “when is a door not a door?” Are they able to say “when it’s ajar”? Will their party abandon them if they do? Or are they just incapable of providing any punchline other than “x group of people are a subhuman species and deserve to die”? Also, what compels their fans to laugh at that?
Couldn’t beer further from the truth. Son, I am not disappoint
No worries. I’ve never been more proud of you
Only one, but he’s considering eating a second one for an afternoon snack
I saw Frakes at ACCC a few years ago, that was pretty cool to attend his talk. Billy Zane was my favorite, though. As for LeVar, dude seems so cool, he’d probably sit and sing with you.
Worst experience I’ve had at a con: excitedly meeting Jaimie Kennedy (I was literally the only person to walk his queue) and finding out that he’s a mega-asshole. Also smells like an asshole. I threw away his autograph in front of him and told him that he lost his only fan at the entire con.
I know one thing: if we could coordinate ourselves even a little, I’d finally know what “billionaire” tastes like
I wanted to go to Space Con and decided that it was simply too expensive, especially just a couple of weeks after going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show live. I hope it’s amazing and that the entire guest list actually shows up. A few years ago, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rick Moranis showed up for their first cons and everyone assumed that Alamo City Comic Con was just pulling our leg, so I wouldn’t totally discount your favorite celebrities being there.
And I’m up late cuz it’s the weekend and I gotta find some way to fuck myself over. Might as well be fucking up my sleep cycle.
The Freeman Coliseum isn’t way too far from me, so DM me if you wanna meet up and mutually murder each other or say hi or something.
What’s that in freedom units?
Shit, I voted for you! I’ve handed out pamphlets that say “TexasDrunk: stealing daddies since 1997 and playing triangle in a punk folk cover band tomorrow.” I’ve offered to fart in a lot of pots and it’s been pretty unpopular so far…
They should probably investigate the supreme court since they started it
or the luchador that’s randomly moved in with you
I knew something was different!
There’s video of him dancing with a flaccid third leg flopping around. There are no rumors to confirm, only consensual visual media to consume.
