My wife has warned her friends “Never refer to my husband looking after his kids as “babysitting” unless you want a snarky, probably very rude response.”

Except on their anchovies.
I think Ricky has a problem in that some people go to his shows expecting a sterility of humor you find on tv and get proper standup. You almost never hear outrage about Jeselnik because his entire repertoire is “I’m saying the wildest shit I can think of and thats what you’re here for”
I have mixed feelings about Dave Chappelle because I genuinely believe in inclusivity which unfortunately includes having jokes made about you (which some communities do not appreciate) but he just did too much and it crossed a line into feeling like bullying behavior so I dont fuck with him at all anymore.
He has always been a FAR better writer than a performer.
But thats just it and what most professional comedians are talking about. They dont want you to be genuinely offended or upset, but if you go to a comedy show or watch a 60 minute special. You laugh at 55 minutes but get offended at the 5 that are about a topic YOU are sensitive about, that 5 minutes wasnt all of a sudden serious statements meant to be taken seriously. It was all jokes. They dont owe anyone an apology because that person didnt like parts of their work. They KNOW that not everything is going to land for everyone. If 90% of the audience are laughing, you are killing it.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars?
2·4 days agoThe sad thing is how good some of those family cars that were so god damn pedestrian 20 years ago are now.
I drove one of the v6 Camrys with the 8 speed… 300hp and half a second faster over the quarter than the gt86… Sure its not manual.and isnt rwd but for a daily… it fucking slapped. “iT cAnT dRiFt” yeah I’m a 40yo man with two kids seats in the back, I’m not trying to tackle Mt Akina.

Parts and servicing is a big problem now. A lot of shops wont touch anything they cant plug a diagnostic computer into.
Some parts are made of unobtanium and require complex workarounds or paying through the nose for parts.

3·5 days agoI think thats partly because of the 80s and 90s when unibody manufacturing became very commonplace but powered everything and tons of tech wasnt commonplace yet.
People just assume cars kept getting lighter.
The guy was a flog, the killdozer was cool. Same as those 2 guys who made armored suits and robbed the bank leading to a 45 minute shootout in LA. Assholes sure, but ok… pretty epic at the same time.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Inside you there are two wolves. One is how much cops suck. The other is how funny it is to watch sovereign citizens get arrested.
16·5 days agoI dont hate cops, I hate that they dont live up to the image they want us to believe and be worthy of the respect that they think they are owed.
Its actually sad that a dystopian facist parody such as Judge Dredd is actually fairer and more just than what we have now.

No you are telling me who deserves applause.
Have you seen the extended cut?
Leary is a below average comic but I think he is an excellent performer, dude had talent and presence, still does but he stole jokes to get there which means he is permanently a douchebag as far as comics go.

Cars - For Car Enthusiasts@lemmy.world•GM Says Its Cars Will Drive Themselves by 2028English
1·16 days agoI only support self driving technology when the car is 100% responsible for its own actions. If I buy a product and use it as intended I shouldnt have to sit there and be ready to intervene at a microseconds notice incase it kills someone and then I catch charges.

I believe the Religious dictatorship who actively hates the west and has said so repeatedly over the president of the United States of America.
I asked my local thai restaurant to “make it a little spicier than normal” because their normal is white suburban spicy and the chef gave me something so spicy it was inedible.
Like… Fuck you, you arent the only Thai restaraunt in town.













Its very much the same as standup comedy. Its 100% you.
If people dont watch its because YOU arent entertaining enough, YOU arent likeable enough, YOU arent putting in enough effort and energy, YOU dont bring anything new to the table, YOU dont take enough risks… Theres no team, theres no band, theres no coworkers, its all on you. Thats a lot to hang your entire livelihood on.
I could only do streaming or a YT if I had “never work again” money because without the pressure I probably could be fun and entertaining the whole time.
