Trump has emphatically declared the need for gun control.

 

 

Ok, I know it’s long sgo, but wasn’t Will and Grace very successful on its own?

Joke is a stronger word than I would use for his material.

Speak for yourself. Most fans of comedy quite enjoyed it. 

If you watched it to be triggered, then that’s on you. You know exactly what you’re getting with Dave Chappelle (and most famous comedians). I realize you are having a hard time and are in a rough situation right now, so I’m not trying to invalidate how you feel. But comedy should not have limits. He’s doing bits, nothing more.

I’m halfway through now. It’s weird watching a comedian with a multi-million dollar Netflix deal whine for an hour about how difficult his job has become.

He’s not whining, he’s joking.

I think it was hilarious. I’m happy he isn’t modifying his comedy because people might be offended.

Watching this Wednesday with the wife. We both have a day off, we’re going to relax like lazy people and binge this. We’re quite excited for it.

I don't think we even know enough to determine if the kids weren't just mistaken. Kill to defend your life and home, okay. But you should be obligated to use lethal force as a last resort as not open fire just because someone you don't know happens to simply exist within the bounds of the address on your deed.

Ridiculous. Nobody ends up in someone else’s home by mistake.

Maybe if they didn’t want to be shot, they shouldn’t break into people’s homes.

Teens should go back to cigarettes 

Cigarettes should be banned and removed from every store shelf. If we’re concerned about the deaths of Americans, we should be looking at more than just weapons. The health costs of nicotine are ridiculous.

No he had it right, its just removing the consequences, and restores rights, the conviction still stands and is on your record.

My bad. I thought it removed it completely.

He is a true piece of shit. His pardon reflects more on Trump than him. This guy needs to do something that puts him back on the hook to get locked up for life. Joe keeps hoping people will forget that he was found guilty and that is why he was eligible for a pardon. The pardon just removed the jail time not the guilt of the crimes.

Except a pardon does in fact legally remove the crimes. Cuz Trump didn’t see them as crimes.

I wonder if Trump will try to nuke this too

Needs more sea level rise imo

It’s weird that a guy with so many properties on the water doesn’t believe in climate change.

You need sheep and stone to make a good trade for wheat, everyone knows this. 

No way I’d trade a good Dall for Wheat. Will trade lots of stone though, just happen to have millions of tons nearby. I wonder if 45 and I can make a deal!

He so badly wants to use a nuke, and will likely jump at any chance he gets to use one. 

Probably on Peurto RICO

he hates them so much because he thinks it’s an investigation of his family.

Jesus...

I honestly feel bad for Jacob Wohl. He seems unwell.

He’s an attention whore, nothing more.

So at the beginning of the month, I had a wreck in my beloved 2013 Nissan Frontier with only 33k miles. I rear-ended someone, no one was hurt and the damage didn't seem that crazy. I was close to home and was even able to get it back to the house. I got an initial estimate on the damages, but after it was in the shop for a couple weeks, my insurance company called me back and said it was being totaled. Basically, the further they tore it down, the more damages they were finding, so they wrote it off as a loss. I was really bummed, because it had been paid off since 2016, had the low miles, and I was content to drive it for the foreseeable future, especially since we're on track to have our mortgage paid off in 5 years. Alas, life happens, though. At least the insurance paid out $21k. 

 

I'd always thought when I got a new truck, I'd get something different and I was eyeing the Colorado. My mom drives a Canyon and I really like it. Went out searching today and ended up buying this: 

 

It's a 2017 model Z71 with 28k miles and it's pre-owned certified, so it comes with a warranty. And putting $19k down(saving the other $2k of my insurance check for the sales tax), my payments will be around $240 a month over 4 years, so I can easily live with that. It had a clean history with only one prior owner and it's in really nice condition overall. 

 

I miss my Frontier, but I think I'll be very happy with this. 

 

Nice. I just bought a new GMC Elevation last spring. By far my favourite truck I ever owned.

Um, how it about it all comes out at once and the people who want to wait a week between every episode just do that? Keep your Reddit reasoning to yourself thanks. 

If reddit threads bother you so much, don't go to reddit.

Why would a user who only joined March of this year even think about remembering something from a couple of years ago...

 

Yes, because I absolutely know how long ago this conversation took place.... And this Shapiro guy joined less than a year ago... What are you even going on about?

The thing is that I don’t think Kevin Hart’s material was trying to make a point. I think he was using humor to express his fear of having a gay son, which is a very common fear unfortunately. The but of the joke was the gay kid, there was no self awareness behind his humor by acknowledging that maybe he’s overreacting towards this scenario. If there was some self awareness then maybe there joke would have worked.

Man, the whole world is too sensitive, and punishment depends on who you are. Jokes fall flat sometimes. 

Not long ago, Sarah silverman lost a job because she did a skit in blackface over a decade ago, which she had long ago apologised for. 

RDJ did a whole movie in blackface, and is the highest paid actor in the world. 

Its not about being offended, it's about people using Social Media to ruin lives.

Skillz has had a history of making casually homophobic comments where he attacks the masculinity of certain actors. I remember when he said that he thought Baby in Baby Driver wasn’t manly enough he attached rhe cast of the new predator movie for being too effeminate.

I don't remember that, but I also won't judge what he said unless I see it for myself. 

But frankly, I don't get upset about offhanded remarks. I tend to think most people are entirely too sensitive to opinions they don't like or agree with.

Noticed that Skillz went crazy when I presented him with a simple hypocritical. Should a white comedian still have a career after making jokes about beating up black children? I don’t think skillz would believe that, but he seems to think it’s forgiveable long as it’s only joking about gay kids. He chose to put me on ignore rather than address his own double srandard.

I absolutely think that person should still have a job. I think people who are offended about comedy are ridiculous. As long as it's a funny joke with a point, and not just a racist rant (a la Kramer).

Standup comedy has been offensive since the first comic got on stage. I don't think you are making a very good point.

I’m a counselor now and work with gay kids who have been abused by their homophobic parents, you know, the kind of situations that Kevin Hart used to make jokes about. But apparently you think he can just walk away from making light of situations that we causing kids hell and pushing them into self harm. You think it’s okay from him to get away from this sort of thing because audiences don’t care enough to not support his movies.

 

Some things are bigger than the bottom line, skillz. You work in an industry that is exploiting the worst tendencies and only cares about increasing bottom line. I am doing everything I can to help those on the margin that have been tossed aside. I’d don’t expect you to respect what I do because the only heroes you recognize are the ones printed in comic books.

Are you seriously fucking bitching about a comedian being a comedian to try to make a point about Marvel? What kind of scatter brained bullshit are you running off about? 

So you help kids, what does that have to do with this special, or a joke?

That's really impressive if they're actually cumming across the border.

 

 

Do they literally cum across the border? Is it a competition to see who can cum the furthest>?

Serious question:  if Trump loses in 2020, would he try to declare a national emergency about it due to "voter fraud" and say that the results didn't count?

yup, and his followers are gonna swallow it whole.
