And how does one hold that perspective without giving the artist a bit of a pass? Especially given the context here is about giving the ARTIST an award, not the art.

What about OP’s post makes you think they DON’T believe that? They made it abundantly clear they’re ready to give Kanye, Manson, and CK a pass and shower awards on them.

You think Louis CK is funnier than ever because you’re a mean-spirited prick with zero sense of humor. Get over yourself and stop bitching about cancel culture because everyone thinks you’re a creep, and try being less creepy instead.

Uh... Rock saying “Will Smith just smacked the shit out of me” happened first, so it was indeed the first clue it wasn’t staged.

I’m SHOCKED. This is my shocked face. Who could have ever predicted this?

The previous ways to trade and collect art weren’t massively contributing to global warming, nor driving up the prices of GPUs. Stop pretending NFTs aren’t damaging - you look like a moron.

It’s wild to me that y’all are reporting this without watching the uncensored clip at all. Chris Rock reacted more to it, but it was cut from the US broadcast. Check out any of the clips from Australia or elsewhere where he complains to Smith “Wow dude. It was a GI Jane joke,” and then responds to Smith’s request to…

You slap truthers are absolutely fucking unhinged. Go back to your Qanon boards!

I will never understand how some people get excited about not liking something. Like... cool, definitely keep us posted on this boring information.

But the article inaccurately suggested that the new method would taste “better” without citing any evidence or the reason why that might be.

You’re really going to believe a person who’s entire job is to lie on behalf of his client over an extremely credible woman? You’re obviously either an extreme misogynist or a rapist yourself.

There’s a Community episode where Abed takes a Nicolas Cage class, and written on the chalkboard is:
A lways
B e
C aging

But I didn’t realize this is what it meant.

He was a rapist and an abuser - in no universe does he qualify as an “icon.”

“Reading is fun!” is about the least dickish way to respond to someone who didn’t even read the thing they’re commenting on. I think they’ll get over it.

I understand all that already, but in the US, if the government is your employer, you work for the government. On a US blog, it’s perfectly appropriate to label all members of parliament “government officials,” because that’s how US readers understand the term.

Oops, I accidentally deleted your reply. Please try again, very smart man-baby.

Who pays their salary? It’s not “the government”?

Darling child, you got rebutted like a dozen times. The fact that you don’t realize it is both sad and hilarious.

I was kinda curious if this would work. Seems like a pretty decent workaround.

If people don’t want to pause no one is *forcing them* to use the pause button. They can still play how they want.
