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.


The 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.


Why arent people buying more cars from the 70s?

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.


I 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.


“I’M GONNA JUMP!!!”

“Go for distance! Make sure you land on public property!”


I 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.


What if I buy the genuinely good premium mix?

I have a 6yo who loves to help. Less steps makes more good.


I love how he thinks this is negative PR for the people who he thinks is wronging him.

No you are telling me who deserves applause.



I 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.


Thats how sad this is…

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.


This is standard corporate tomfuckery.

You fire them first (probably illegally) wait for them to lawyer up and come after you in court, enter into negotiations to settle now that the employee is under financial pressure to accept.

An employee who suffers a serious injury on the job who might have ongoing life long medical expenses can be horrifically expensive to a company often wildly exceeding a negotiated settlement.

Its morally fucked but the company would rather cut the man a very large cheque and sever all ties than have the long term liability hanging over their heads. Sacking him first just puts a timer on it that the company can afford to wait out when the employee cant.

Yes, its still wrong.


And so much of what is available on BluRay makes no sense. 80s comedies? Sure. Tron Legacy? (You know, dumb but pretty) nope. Go fuck yourself.


On paper yes.

IMO in the international politics sphere the abject refusal to assist with the situation in Iran is a “Dont fucking push it, we’re fed up with your crap” and his administration knows it.


Not to downplay womens sufferage and sexism (because it was wrong) but a substantial portion of straight white women act like they have had it every bit as bad as the truly persecuted and enslaved. Like sure, your great great grandmother didnt have the right to vote, while she was sipping lemonade on the verandah of the plantation while the people her husband owned worked the fields and cleaned the house.

You might not have been allowed to drive the car, but you got driven places you wanted to go in it.


I really enjoyed doing a Cain novel, then a Gaunts Ghosts novel, then a Cain novel and so on.
