TikTok rules.

Dave James is it possible that we are being duped by both sides?
Is it possible that this is a coverup and we only hear what they want us to know?
I will never be able to prove what actually happen, and you will never be able to prove that it did’nt happen.
Jan. 6th is another example, some say it was an inside job, Portland is on fire and nothing happen to anyone.
Too much is happening and it’s one sided and points in one direction.
We are caught in the middle.
So what do you think will happen in the next election??

Argument about voter fraud on Facebook. Reminder that the average person out there that we rarely interact with is profoundly stupid.

iphone notes app does all this automatically, take the pics, it converts them to plain black and white and makes a single searchable PDF

I’m partial to The Edge of Glory, Timber, and Blow personally. But I won’t object to this.

Presented without comment

More has come out about Apple’s AR googles. Apparently they will have a video screen on the front that will be able to show videos of your eyes and face, as necessary, for people looking at you.

This sounds crazier than glassholes.

You know it’s fake, right?

it seemed a little outrageous lol but no, of course i didn’t think it was fake

It was posted (along with subsequent debunking) in another thread here (meme thread, I think).

That’s one even I haven’t seen!

Not even a joke in that

Jokes hit you completely differently when written out in text form. They lose an incredible amount of context.

Not saying that’s the case here. But it is generally true.

I’ve always liked Ricky’s stand-up. I’ll have to watch his latest special.

Sure but what usually makes “edgy” comedy funny (and not simply offensive) is that it involves punching up at privileged groups or individuals. When you punch down at people in disadvantaged positions it just comes across as bullying. This Gervais routine really only works if you accept the premise that trans people enjoy some kind of social privilege now, which is highly dubious to say the least.

It’s just more proof that everyone who gets to create media (from columnists to comedians) now has pure twitterbrain. Gervais isn’t even considering real trans people in their day to day lives. It’s just twitter shit. So fucking depressing.

I think he’s twisted it in his head to think that he’s punching up at the masses who want to tell him what he can and can’t say. It’s all I can come up with because, like others said, there’s no joke there. I think the “joke” is that he’s saying things he knows will outrage people.

Fuck him, fuck Netflix. Only way to vote on this is sort of thing is with your wallet. If canceling Netflix isn’t an option at least don’t watch this special.

You’re right but it doesn’t hang together at all, it’s like when people with national media platforms complain about being silenced.

I think these comedians are treating trans people the same way they treat everyone. It’s their way of accepting them.

Lots of comedians develop unique perspectives as a way of coping with the very same feelings that critics claim they are lacking consideration for.

Larry David avoids this criticism since his work is so personal and we get to see him grow from his mistakes.
