I just watched that episode a few days ago. There was no context or follow up. She says that she watched Shaft in Africa nine times because Will wanted to, then says that she thinks Shaft is gay. If she meant it like he was hiding his sexuality, she didn't elaborate.

Also, the episode that I just finished had Will pretending to be Hilary's hair designer Deonte.

Jaleel White had a lot of range to play a nerdy, unattractive guy and a nerdy, unattractive girl. I feel kinda bad for him when he tried to move on from that show and play someone closer to who he was in real life. All anybody wanted was Urkel.

Yeah, I read the actual quote the refresh my memory and it does sound worse than I remember.

Plus, it reminded me of some other questionable stuff in Fresh Prince that I forgot about.

doesn't argue her case by saying that he comes across as someone who tries to hide his sexuality by being hyper-sexual with women.

I remember that being exactly her point, she definitely wasn't using gay as a synonym for lame.

I mean, it's like when people bring up the Seinfeld episode about the writer thinking Jerry and George are gay as being offensive. The jokes are more often about how crazy it is that characters will try so hard to seem masculine and worry about being gay than disliking gay people.

Like George obsessing about whether or not his penis twitched when a male masseuse rubbed his thigh. It's poking fun at hypermasculine bullshit. It's basically the same joke people make now about guys not wanting to wash their ass because touching their own butt is gay.

If I think real hard about it, he's been involved in so many huge projects and also shown absolutely zero talent for acting, comedy, writing or goddamn anything except being that stoner guy with the weird laugh.

Must have the most amazing networking game of all time. Or I am missing some of his greatest works and I've only ever seen all the shit stuff.

It's a lot of the second part, dude has a lot of insanely influencial friends in the business, combined with the fact that he's just naturally likable and goofy. Plus his kind of humor was just super popular during his heyday.

He's like the comedy version of an action star who can just play themselves in every movie because their natural persona just works.

Certain aspects they'd probably get pretty quick. Any kind of technicals aspects would be nearly impossible to explain but stuff like email or IMs could just be explained like "it's like sending a letter, but faster"

an omniscient being who is benevolent would be kind enough to at the very least share enough that we may understand that omniscience(even if we never experience it) instead of forcing us unto this dumbfounded stupor he puts us in about such concepts/phenomena.

You assume. Which is pointless because you're not omniscient. You don't have the access to the knowledge of why an omniscient being would do what they choose to do, and you never would or possibly could.

The idea of a God who is all powerful, omniscient, and perfectly good doesn't make any sense.

There's plenty of concepts humans are capable of understanding that you likely don't understand, why do you think you would be able to make sense of a being that is omniscient? If God was real he would be omniscient and omnipresent, he would experience every moment in history, every feeling of every human, animal, every place simultaneously.

I think sometimes people fail to understand how far above humans an omniscient being would actually be, to the point where trying to understand anything about it would be impossible.

I get it, and that's fair, but ask yourself if he would have been as willing to help you if you had been a transperson. Maybe he would have, but I doubt it.

I'm sure a lot of KKK members are perfectly nice and willing to help out their fellow man too. As long as that fellow man is white and straight.

I'm sorry guys. I don't like showing a lot of weakness to my family. Yes, this is a problem in today's society and i don't feel comfortable doing it at the moment. But I will just tell her it's not the best time for me right now.

While I get it, if you're not willing to be honest you're pretty much just gonna have to deal with looking like an asshole.

There's very few ways to not look like a dick by saying "No, don't visit me on your birthday" without a good reason. Your actual reason is good, but without admitting it there's not really a ton of options.

He was posting on an alt until shortly before he died.

I don't normally shit on users, especially ones who can't defend themselves, but seeing this guy propped up as some misunderstood, deep down great guy who was just a victim of toxic masculinity is a bit much.

Garabandal posted...

I didn't mean to defend him if that's what it looked like. I also wasn't aware he harassed trans users until GrandConjuration told me. I was just pointing out that CE used to be violently transphobic back in the day.

Despite what people in this topic are saying, if he hadn't killed himself he likely would have been banned along with people like Caution and Admiral and people would still be talking about what a piece of shit he was along with the rest of them.

This isn't even the first topic I've seen made about him. It's wild to me.

Garabandal posted...

He wasn't unique in that regard unfortunately. Until very recently "transwomen are women" was a controversial statement that would get people to attack you on here.

Just weird to see people in here who will normally jump at any chance to call someone a transphobe come in here to reminisce and defend a guy who was a literal, unapologetic transphobe. He didn't try to talk around it, or frame it as another issue.

Dude straight up did not like transpeople and would harass trans users.

Personally, I don't think dying suddenly makes someone who was an unapologetic bigot up until that point suddenly a misunderstood, swell guy. But that's me.

P2E was insanely transphobic. I mean, he didn't even try to be coy about. He straight up told transwomen here they weren't women.

Just tossing that out there.

Yes. Theft is wrong. I'm still not going to cheer when a police department makes a bizarre, masturbatory post about someone stealing like what, $50 worth in crap from a company in the double digit billions.

Oh and it absolutely is not 'theft is theft' if this was the US it would he a misdemeanor at worst.

Nobody is denying the tweet was dumb and shouldn't have been made. But people are defending the woman like she was stealing bread and water to feed her starving family, not haagen daaz and plug in air fresheners.

I mean, if she stole a stereo system people would be in here like "What, poor people aren't allowed to listen to music?!?!"

No? I mean, even as a kid it was pretty obvious that he was missing something pretty crucial if he was naked.

add up all of the cost of calling 911, getting the cop to come, arresting the woman, assign her a court day and put her in a jail cell add up all those cost i guarantee you it cost more than what was in that cart

Pretty sure the store she stole the goods from aren't paying those things, so I'm not sure what your point is? I hope if someone ever carjacks you or robs your house you don't call the police because of the cost to the city.

There's lots of things I can't afford, and I'm sure many people on here can't afford, and don't resort to stealing. Hell, I don't eat Haagen Daaz because it's too expensive.

Point is, she's not stealing essentials to feed her family. And not everyone who steals is doing it because they need to.

I love the implications people are making that all people who are poor are also thieves, like the majority of poor people don't also find stealing things morally wrong.

Not being able to afford things doesn't give you the right to take them, especially things that are luxury items.

Haejin posted...

Our society is messed up, we can't even feed our most vulnerable people in need

You're assuming a lot about a woman who was stealing lube, plug in air fresheners, and ice cream.

Second, anytime there's a terrorist attack or a migrant crisis, or a war, Islam is attacked pretty viciously on this board with very little moderation. It comes in for far more pointed criticism than Christianity does, which receives little more than babbys 1st reddit atheist criticism.

Not so much since the right has been told to be afraid of trans people instead of Muslims.

The pickles had massive debt right? Stu was a failed inventor and dedede didn't work?

I think at one point it was stated that the majority of his inventions are successful

Episode 4 ending was written so that if there wasn't another one it could stand on it's own, episode 5 was written knowing there'd be another one.

I dont like the summertime cause everyone goes to the beach, I dont understand the beach. The beach, the beach, the beach Lets go to the beach, Oh, I love the summertime, its so worm finally, lets go to the beach, oooooh Whats the fucking deal with the beach, I dont get it. Its where dirt meats water, alright? Is that that fucking amazing to you? Ive got a bathtub and an imagination, Im staying indoors this summer. That way I can listen to music that I like.

Maybe Im just jealous man, everyone at the beach is perfect, you know; tanned, white teeth, Ive got white skin, tanned teeth NOT my environment. You put me under a neon beer light, I look pretty cool You know my problem, Im so pale man, I take my shirt of at the beach, its like a fucking prism man. People are just: Bill, put your shirt back on, we cant find our towels! All these moths are bumping into me

they cant find it funny bc theyre sense of humour is ass
joe cartoon is still peak comedy

I mean, you don't know how to properly use they're, their, and there but you're old enough to remember Joe Cartoon. I think you've proved my point.

Comedians all want to think they're Lenny Bruce fighting against unfair censorship rather than the times just passing them by. Shock comedy is just the minstrel shows of the modern era. I'm sure people who put on blackface to dance around on stage said the same things comedians say today about how nobody can take a joke anymore.

Dave Chappelle got called out and like a big baby decided to double down and make it his whole personality, like a lot of people eho seem to go down that path.

Someone on here said it perfectly when they said these "can't take a joke people" are just people from the newgrounds era whose humor never advanced past "baby in a blender" and can't figure out why other people don't find it funny.

Because I always took it as someone that rejects commonly accepted opinions.

It is. Commonly accepted opinions like the vaccine isn't harmful or trans people deserve to exist.

There's being a free-thinker, and there's being a self-centred contrarian moron who acts like they're the lead protagonist in a movie.

Like you could stand to learn a few survival techniques, like how to farm, camp and fight - but doomsday preppers take it way too far because they're convinced that we're on the precipice of World War Z and they're gonna be Brad Pitt, standing on top of the pile. Imagine spending your weekends waking your kids up at 2 in the morning, loading them into a converted military track and driving them three hours into the woods to check expiry dates on the hundreds of canned goods you've been hoarding for years - all because Roland Emmerich's 2012 is right around the corner.

Or take anti-vaxxers. Being skeptical is a reasonable trait to have, but if you're worried about 5G or magnetised blood, shut the fuck up and get the fucking shot. You're not Jesus Christ being persecuted by the Romans because someone didn't want your proudly unwashed ass breathing against the salad bar during a global fucking pandemic.

The traits of being a free-thinker - being thoughtful, measured and opinionated - are generally positive traits. They show that you engage with the world around you. The issue is that when you see someone asserting how much of a "free-thinker" they are, it's usually some drooling moron puffing up their chest to justify their contrarian nature and pass off some shit that's stupid at best and truly heinous at worst.

The same way people like doomsday preppers and anti-vaxxers see themselves as the protagonist in their own deluded, self-centred view of the world around them, people who boldly and resonantly proclaim themselves to be "free-thinkers" tend to be using that term in a self-aggrandising way. They're not actually free-thinkers, they're just insecure about something they've felt shamed about and they want to normalise it as them "going against the grain" or "not being a part of the flock".

Like personally, I see myself as something of a free thinker. Not entirely, I can get whipped up into trends and frenzies, but I try to read a lot and think things over so I can at least say that I have a thought-out and considered opinion. But you don't see me going "I'm a free-thinker, I go my own way!" because it's such a douchey and self-centred thing to say. It implies that I see myself as being better than other people, and for all my biases and personal rage, I'm really not y'know.

But yeah, basically if you feel the need to assert yourself as a free thinker to others, I feel like that usually precedes an unpopular opinion like being an anti-vaxxer or an antisemite or some shit like that. I think people who actually think for themselves can communicate that just fine through the course of human interaction, and the people who have to boldly, prominently outline what a free-thinker they are will usually be some of the most contrarian dickheads you'll ever meet using the label as a way of masking some unpopular bullshit they don't want any blowback for.

Totk is the better game, but the radical difference in powers + no building things make BotW very different in play. Very much a LttP versus LBW thing.

I voted yes, but you made me realize I was wrong. I forgot the powers being entirely different.

Personally, I wouldn't go back to BOTW, but it's hard to say it invalidates it when the ways you interact with the world are entirely different

Hes pretty funny. He does fall into some of the complaining traps of old white men comedians though, and I feel like a lot of stuff he says is misinterpreted by chuds who think hes on their side

This, except considering how close he is to Joe Rogan I'm not entirely sure they're 100% wrong.

Either that, or they're both aware it's a grift and don't care because it pays the bills.

Dude is like 40. If he's not there yet he's not gonna be.

That said, he probably has the best mic skills I've seen in a long time.

Does anyone even know his vax status? As far as I know, Lebron himself is vaxxed but dodged questions about it at first and showed support to Kyrie with his antivax stuff.

Point is, it seems weird to ascribe anything to the virus when you don't even know the vax status of the person involved.

Aliens, conspiracy theories, etc are fun to think about. Secret societies, men in black erasing peoples memories, little green men in area 51.

Im not so sure about that. You needed a public speaker with some vigor and charisma. The Nazis up until that point were just a bunch of drunkards at a bar.

But we can both agree if Jalen doesnt fumble the damn football, we win the Superbowl, yes?

The war likely would have happened regardless, the holocaust is much more of a gray area. All Hitler really did was weaponize the enemy of the day as a scapegoat to rally against like demagogues have done throughout history. Hell, we're seeing it with transpeople and conservative parties of today.

Whether it would have reached the targeted extermination levels under a leader that wasn't Hitler we'll never know.

An alternate history where Hannibal succeeds in defeating Rome would be amazing to see because of how different world history would actually be and it's effects on how the modern world turned out, but very hard to write because of how little we actually know about Carthage.
