Big disagree personally, but props for the hottest take ive actually seen someone make on this website

I think that considering the federal bill in the US currently aimed at forcing ISPs and VPN providers to block foreign piracy websites that copyright holders absolutely see piracy as an untapped market. Even if their plan is to ban their competition rather than change their business practices in a way that would attract those customers

Oh hooray another mandatory ID checkpoint! Don’t resist, it’s only for your safety and convenience, no other reasons!

To add to this TLDR, the age gating and sensitive content filter forced onto underage users plays into Metas surveillance Capitol business model and removes a lot of the visibility and resources that LGBTQ youth might need/want because by default it considers anything that has to do with LGBTQ topics as adult and blocks them under the sensitive content filter.

This has a possibility of increasing the social isolation that LGBTQ youth might experience by depriving them of access to their communities online if they are subject to the sensitive content filter

Woosh.

They were making a joke about sounding

Saw this comment first and thought it was a real quote, I would love to see El-Sayed say that directly to JD Vance

Not even really a theory but a historically verifiable strategy used by the automakers, but Jaywalking was invented by car companies to put the blame on cyclists and pedestrians for getting killed by cars so that they could monopolize use of the public roads for cars and here we are over 100yrs later and vehicle collisions are like the number 2 leading cause of death in the country behind gun violence.

At least the gun manufacturers didn’t steal public space out from under the feet of everyone.

I’ve just started doing the thing that Samuel L. Jackson’s character does in The Long Kiss Goodnight and singing “I locked my door na-na-na-na, locking my door na-na-na-na. Keys in my hand na-na-na-na” etc.

He’s talking about the fact that for over a decade south Park played a significant part in fueling climate change skepticism with Al Gore screaming “manbearpig guys I’m super cereal” only for the creators to later admit that yeah they were actually super wrong about climate change and it is a serious issue. That’s why they made manbearpig real and had it start killing people, but that doesn’t erase the influence that they’ve already had on people. It’d be like if they had a TV show calling aids fake and gay for the first few years of the aids crisis and then only changed their tune once it started affecting people they know.

Claiming that anyone who rightfully criticizes their handling of climate change as being a purity testing twat with no understanding of comedy or satire is disingenuous and makes it obvious that you don’t actually understand what you’re talking about

Do y’all open it on the light or dark side of the Seasoning oil?

From everything ive seen he’s not actually apologized TO the women he abused, he has only ever really made public apologies where he says “this is all true, i thought I was okay by asking for consent beforehand” when there is credible reporting that on multiple occasions he did not even bother to ask for consent.

Just going to add on, that in the YouTube series linked above that there is a direct comparison of how Loius and Dan Harmon both handled it and that you’ve summarized the differences quite well

Basically compares the allegations as detailed in the initial reporting with jokes, podcast, and radio appearances that Louis has done in the past as well as his actions and statements after the allegations were made public. And the obviously biased and very condensed version i can give you is that there are several stories he told on opie and anthony about events that bear enough resemblance to the allegations to determine that there are likely more victims who have never come forward and never been recognized and that Louis has been working to minimize how this negatively impacts him without ever going so far as to actually try to make amends with the women he abused.

If you are tempted to watch some I’d say start at the beginning and around the first time you catch yourself thinking “this fucking guy” after a clip of Louis telling a “funny” story on a podcast back before the allegations came out, then you’ve got the gist and the rest of it is just stacking more receipts

Can’t recommend this series enough, does it need to be over 5hrs, not really, but it does paint a very thorough picture of the whole timing of Louie’s misconduct and his response to being exposed

Just taking this opportunity to remind everyone that Louis C.K. has never made any tangible steps to make amends with the women he abused and yet he still goes on podcasts and talks about how the reporting on his sexual misconduct damaged his life and reputation as though he is the true victim

My strategy is I take 1 package of the black Buldak ramen and cook it with 2 packages of Maruchan ramen and then I use 1 of the Maruchan packets with the Buldak seasoning packets to season the whole thing, and if I want it to be a bit more substantial I’ll drop an egg in there while it’s boiling until the yolk is the right amount of runny

Because cops have a state sanctioned monopoly on violence

Yeah, everyone knows the correct pronunciation is Chip-ōl-tay

Hell yeah! Crackstyle, a true classic

I wonder what clientele Sappho tended to service 🤔, guess we’ll never know
