That box is built to cause arguments. Nearly every word on it is up for debate! Is it “premium”? Is it “pepperoni”? Is it “pizza”? Is it a “sandwich”?

You’re very stupid and should take a remedial course on statistics.
Exactly. There is no rulebook any of us can follow, though god knows society keeps telling us there’s one (don’t wear revealing clothes, don’t walk home after this hour, don’t do that thing, or that thing). It. Doesn’t. Fucking. Matter.
He would have assaulted her no matter what she said or didn’t say.
Most men don’t understand the fear of walking down a street. Or how always we start thinking of ways to defend ourselves—if that random stranger comes my way I’ll kick him on the balls, or I’ll run that way. If I scream will people hear me? Should I pull the handles of cars and hope they have alarms. And then the…
Did I just slip into an alternate universe? Is this real?
Thanks for reading!
I spent a good five minutes late last night trying to figure out if you were being ones of those obnoxious jerks who likes to mansplain writing to me, because I was super high on some OG Kush. Now that it’s Wednesday morning and I’m bright and bushy tailed, I must say: Well played, good sir!
We may all be working on different definitions of what ‘punching down’ means. Laughing at someone’s misfortune as you say isn’t automatically punching down, and comedy would scarcely exist without it. But where that idea fails is when you have the rich and powerful mocking those who are not. Like white frat boys who…
But I guess to look at your comment another way, there is plenty of comedy that isn’t about punching at all. Seinfeld/Larry David, for example. They don’t really punch anyone so much as just observe the silliness of society’s unwritten rules. So to your point, yes, comedy doesn’t have to always punch up. But punching…
Punching up is making fun of people who are more powerful than you. Punching down is making fun of people who are less powerful than you.
Spoken like a bigot thinks the Central Park Five deserved life in prison,whines about “progressive politics”, bitches when anyone is critical of Christianity, will stan for convicted rapists who evade their prison sentences by fleeing to Europe because you like his filmography (https://news.avclub.com/1837995504), and…
Punching up is funny. Making the powerful look like fools is OK because they’ll still be powerful when the show is over.
Because no one wants to see the weak and powerless made fun of.
If you google Cher this is the top “news” story:
Wait Jason Whitlock was able to speak? You mean he took former 1st round bust Jeff George’s dick out of his mouth long enough to speak? You mean he stopped fellating Bill Belichick long enough to once again show that he was one of the one’s that Harriet would’ve left behind or shot? Mind you this is the man who wrote…
Ellen, GWB tried to put an anti-LGBT amendment in the Constitution because he was antsy about not getting a second term and needed to fire up the base. As in, he literally believed you and your wife weren’t entitled to the rights he has, which laid the foundation for Trump to win now.
Hello Oversteer, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Of a HellKitty quickly fleeing
And the excrement that left a stain
Still remains
Within the sound of superchargers
$6,000 for a nude Channing? That taint bad.
I always cringe when we compare Liz Warren to Hillary Clinton. Liz Warren is SO MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE than Hillary, which to me is a strength. They are both white women who conservatives hate and both intelligent policy wonks, but the progressive nature of Warren’s platforms and detailed plans is worth noting. They…
