Meanwhile, it’s fine to bark at your cat, because they already loathe you on a level you can’t even comprehend.

The entire trend of videos that are “fuck with your pet by doing X” needs to die. Some of the things are harmless but all of them encourage the attitude that pets are entertainment instead of responsibility.

Point being there’s a lot of data out there suggesting that a lot of companies are using the “everything is shitty, of course we have to raise prices” as cover for simply raising their profit margins. Yes, there’s lots of issues and many companies are having to raise prices in response to actual upstream pressures.…

I’m sick of this take that worldbuilding-heavy series are somehow a “problem” and not just another style of storytelling that’s not to everyone’s taste. Some people like to see an interesting world deeply realised, rather than suggested in the background. Neither approach is invalid, but acting like art is dying just…

Star Trek has five good films.  Fake God convinces a laughing Vulcan to steal a spaceship and Bald Girl leads the crew to hook up with a lost satellite are not good films in any way.

If it’s ripping off a regular amount of money, it’s shitty. If it’s ripping off 3.5 million, there’s no such thing as a person who spent that kind of money on Pokemon cards who doesn’t deserve to be ripped off.

A car with more mass is safer at the expense of the other traffic. It’s not inherently safer, like a seat belt or an airbag. Adding more mass (or height) is an arms race to the bottom.

I will say that the worse wreck I’ve seen was between a F-150 and a H2. A F-150 ran a red light and tried to cross a road with a 65 mph speed limit and pulled out in front of a H2. The H2 climbed the F150 front quarter and flew straight into the air and started flipping. No idea how many times it flipped.

This is only about the 1,000th video I’ve seen of an SUV flipping like an empty soda can. But please, SUV owners, tell me again how your car is “safer”.

You really can’t turn this around into ‘perhaps it is u who are petty’ - the guy gleefully harassed and targeted minorities, and much of his anguish was that his website matured (to a degree) while he didn’t. The Something Awful website bankrolled his entire lifestyle even as he grifted and complained server costs…

Haha.This is Texas: cyclists are always presumed to be in the wrong because they should have been in a truck with firearms, like all normal people.

As someone who could probably quote Killing them Softly from start to finish, that Dave is gone. I love the “he is so busy yelling at people he forgot to be funny”  because that feels so accurate.

He just sounds similar to ignorant white folks when they get called out for racism but don't want to admit they're racist.  He literally sounds the exact same way. It's disappointing. 

I mean, she off-handedly referenced him in a message to someone else, without even using his name. And he’s so pathetically thin-skinned that he feels a need to respond with something so lazy it doesn’t even rise to the level of a joke?

I told people he was only going to double down and play the victim. He’s Dennis Miller now. He won’t learn and he won’t grow unless he’s forced to by something serious and by “serious” I mean on the level of Richard Pryor setting himself on fire.

Keep punching up until you reach the peak.

It makes him sound petty and small, both in this swipe at Gadsby and his “I’ll only meet with you if you meet all of my demands” bullshit.

So I was not happy with Dave’s words in his special... but I also wasn’t calling for his show to be canceled. Then Ted Sarandos decided to open his smug fucking mouth and start making declaratives about what is and isn’t hurtful for everyone, so I canceled my Netflix subscription and cited Ted’s comments.

Gods, but that shot at Hannah Gadsby comes off as touchy, doesn’t it?

“Look, man, you think I *want* to make fun of these dying children? Hell no! But I have to, comedy requires that I make fun of them, in front of their already-grieving families. I’m a martyr, if you really think about it!”
