How is that “the same thing?” The only way those two things are equivalent is if you’re such a massive coward that the very idea of any consequences at all stops you from speaking.

It’s an interesting question! The discussion starts out pretty simply most of the time. If you want to tread into potentially offensive territory, look for who has the power in a situation and target them. Comedy is strongest when de-fanging a villain, not joining the other bullies, so avoid targeting marginalized…

>Chapelle gets paid millions for multiple Netflix specials

As an actual comedian, we talk about punching up vs down *all the time.* The only comedians who DON’T care about that discussion are unrepetant assholes.

Yes - I’ve also developed the habit to click Start Slideshow>List Slides. If there are any on the list that I’d like to read more about, I’ll just open those slides separately. 

In case you haven’t seen the cancel culture comments from Bobcat Goldthwait

It may be time to realize that Dave is just fucking with everyone re this controversy, and not take all these comments seriously.

They are “free” in the sense that if they were removed, Amazon wouldn’t be charging less for their Prime service, nor would I wager the overwhelming majority of subscribers be dropping their subscription if those games weren’t available.

What you have to understand about Conservatism is at its core, it is about preserving an in-group protected by the law but not bound by it, and an out-group bound by the law but not protected by it.

I didnt sign up for Amazon Prime for free games nor was it part of their TOS...so it’s free...

My wife and I love renfaires. We built one into her birthday weekend a few years ago and took the whole family. Her brother thought hey, I have this perfectly good bacon costume, why not wear it?

That’s fascinating. I’m under the impression that the wide majority high school students in Japan speak English in the same way that high school students in America speak French, which is to say absolutely terribly.

Sad but not totally surprising, since they both have such distinctive creative voices and seem to know what they want to do early on in their projects (both Fleabag and Atlanta are remarkably assured from the jump).  Like Scorsese making a movie with the Coens, you both want to see it and kind of understand why it…

Always a good time to remind folks that the Puritans fled England because they were fucking insane and no one in England wanted to deal with them.

CRT bears a striking similarity to the Salem witch trials. Don’t like someone? Declare them a witch/CRT teacher and ruin their life. Then the victim must stand before the tribunal of completely objective and fair minded community leaders to prove their innocence or be burned at the stake.

Black people living throughout America experience racism. Members of other minority groups can be racist, too. Racism against Black people is not limited to Red states. Hatred of Black people is not limited only to certain cities, like Salinas. Racism is not new and it didn’t begin with the election of Donald J.…

Of course, but this is a low-skill dirt-easy exploit. Buy a Razer mouse, has key.
