I happen to be familiar with Sam Kinison, and it was definitely not him. This guy was skinnier. Thanks for your input, though.

Yeah, this comedian was definitely American. But thank you for not judging me too harshly.
Thanks for the reply, but I don’t think it’s him. I looked up his stuff, and he doesn’t quite fit the bill. I think the guy I saw had a mustache with no beard, possibly reddish.
Thank you for the validation. I feel pretty insecure about posting it, to be honest. I don’t want to trigger anyone’s PTSD or something horrible like that. That’s why I added the content warning and all that.
Yeah. I apologize. It just stuck in my brain because it is so incredibly dark. It’s like a twisted, perverse creativity, like a torturer who comes up with new ways to cause agony. I respect the depths this guy plumbed to come up with that, but it still makes me uncomfortable.
I know I’m a month late, but I just came across this comment. Joel Haver is one of the most beautiful filmmakers I have ever encountered. He just has so much empathy for his subjects, and it feels like he really loves his characters. I discovered him a few years ago, and I am definitely in for the ride. There is not enough ass in the world for that man to kick.
So I have a story related to this. I teach English in Korea. One time, two 11-year-old students chose kopi luwak as a topic for their in-class (no research) project. I asked what that is, as I had never heard of it. They explained in pre-intermediate English that there is a cat that poops coffee beans. I didn’t believe them at first, because it sounded so silly. But they urged me to look it up. At first, I got confused between ‘kopi’ and ‘coffee’, because Korean has no ‘f’ sound and substitutes a ‘p’ sound. But when I finally found the Wiki page, I was blown away. The fact that this is real would be so funny if it weren’t for all the abuse another user pointed out.
It used to be very popular, so I don’t know if this qualifies, but I watch a lot of noir and neo-noir. Specifically, I like the ones told from the criminal’s perspective. Films like Double Indemnity, Body Heat and The Postman Always Rings Twice are great places to start.
My latest album. Cue shameless self-plug:
Good on you. You can teach your son some valuable perspective, while getting in some quality time as well. Please let us know how it goes, if you don’t mind. I feel invested now.
You make some good points there. I remember LAN parties in high school where we would spend hours troubleshooting network problems and calling older brothers for advice. I learned a lot from those experiences, because I was forced to. I think a big part of the changes we are seeing in computer literacy is what I would call the Apple philosophy: if a toddler can’t use it, we need to simplify. Basically, as you said, things are getting simpler with less granular control. Of course, Apple is far from the only company doing this stuff, but they seem to be industry leaders in the sense of ‘dumbing down’ tech.
I recently had a friend say that privacy is a luxury these days. My first thought was that there is nothing luxurious about it. It takes hard work, inconvenience and savvy. And I’m not even close to Stallman levels of privacy paranoia. I know just enough to acknowledge that I know nothing. I feel similarly about tech in general. I have been using Linux for ten years, I use VPNs, I have played around with DNS settings, et cetera. But I realize that I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible and available to those willing to spend the time and get it done.
Anyway, I’ll shut up now. Thanks for replying thoughtfully, and thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Ass Ponys. When you search for them on YouTube, be sure to search for “Ass ponys band.” Otherwise you’ll find a lot of softcore My Little Pony porn.
Thanks. Luckily there are some people here who have a smidge of empathy. They are few and far between, but not nonexistent.
I’m in Daegu myself. Enjoy the relative progressiveness of the capital city. Down here that guy would get beaten.
Never spend time in South Korea. They put corn and sweet potato on pizza. And that’s just where it starts.
I have that one already, and it’s great. But yeah, the Playdate category on itch.io has 900 entries. It’s a bit overwhelming, to be honest.
Thanks! I’m sideloading it now. I’ll let you know what I think of it.
I’ll only say no to this question because I don’t want to have kids. But I taught my mom how to pirate, and I’m proud of that. I believe that piracy is not a morally neutral act. It is morally good. Pro-piracy is an ethically good stance to take in this age.
Definitely some beautiful stuff there; thanks for the link. I’ll keep him in mind for it.
Right? It’s so creative. If you can stomach the content, of course.
