https://qz.com/quartzy/1333263/nanette-and-why-a-new-wave-of-comedians-dont-want-to-be-funny/

This article bugs me so much. Specifically, the skit quoted from Michelle Wolf.

_โ€œI am gonna throw my pen down on the desk, and Iโ€™m gonna shake my head in crestfallen bewilderment. Iโ€™m gonna look you in The Eye, and Iโ€™m gonna tell you that Trump is bad!,โ€ she cried. โ€œChildren in cages, gun reform yesterday, nevertheless I persisted, this is comedy now. And finally, the meticulously crafted clippable GIFable takedown that will fix everything, change minds, and save the republic.โ€_

She's one of the fucking comedians doing this whole 'activism masked as comedy' shit. Do comedians nowadays really not understand that you can't do something unironically while trying to make fun of it at the same time? It just comes off as insanely disingenuous.

2018-12-31 22:32:49 UTC

โ€œComedians that donโ€™t want to be funnyโ€ About as much sense as pilots not wanting to fly.

2018-12-31 22:57:18 UTC

and hopefully about as successful in their careers, too

2018-12-31 23:07:09 UTC

I could go my whole life not hearing that witchโ€™s voice and it would be so much better

2018-12-31 23:40:49 UTC

@Bowman151 What about ground Mech pilots! lol

2019-01-01 00:09:35 UTC

Haha. Technicality.

2019-01-01 00:15:48 UTC

I was going to say what about Mechs, but some of those also fly heh so had to add ground.

2019-01-01 01:50:51 UTC

My ex wife had trouble understanding that bit about not trying to make jokes about shit that you actually mean. Either that, or she was just the kind of cunt that would bitch about you and then claim it was a joke if you got mad.

2019-01-01 18:14:42 UTC

Didnโ€™t hear about this but I heard all about the โ€œsuspected right wing extremistโ€ in Germany

2019-01-02 15:26:50 UTC

Abhorrent.

2019-01-02 15:34:59 UTC

Yeah.

2019-01-02 15:37:26 UTC

Itโ€™s so easy to push leftists into defending genocide. I love it. Theyโ€™re like children

2019-01-02 15:49:22 UTC

Thatโ€™s pretty twisted.

2019-01-02 15:57:48 UTC

I hate that "the foetus is not capable of a complex thought " argument!
Neither is a 6 month old baby, but then again that is probably their next step in their progressive ideology. Why can't I kill a baby when I don't want it anymore, it's not like it can talk or has complex ideas it can communicate.

2019-01-02 16:07:10 UTC

Same with retarded people. WEโ€™RE JUST GONNA KILL โ€˜EM

2019-01-02 16:07:54 UTC

I think euthanasia as the logical next step. As it is already pushed to be mainstreamed. Especially in Europe.

2019-01-02 23:25:05 UTC

These payment processors are digging their own graves by opening themselves up to lawsuits if this is why, that law is targeted at terror groups and banning people and groups due to nebulous words they are associating those people with terrorist.

2019-01-02 23:27:17 UTC

So..when are the rap labels going to be affected.

2019-01-02 23:30:31 UTC

@Niknar84 if they don't bend to the government's will, they lose their FDIC federal banking insurance

2019-01-02 23:30:51 UTC

So this really is a 1a issue

2019-01-02 23:32:55 UTC

and this is what H.B. 2706 was meant to reverse but it's stuck in 'bureaucratic purgatory as it awaits referral approval from the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Itโ€™s been waiting for said approval since December 12th, 2017 according to the last update over on Congress.gov.'

2019-01-04 15:40:12 UTC

I guess they are trying to blame men for making children smoke...

2019-01-04 15:41:09 UTC

Something something sucking a fag?

2019-01-04 16:46:15 UTC

...

2019-01-04 17:33:54 UTC

The actual fuck?!

2019-01-04 17:39:11 UTC

More teacher news

2019-01-04 18:56:01 UTC

Some people are bereft of morality

2019-01-04 18:56:24 UTC

Imagine not even caring about human beings so much that you could hand someone over to bad men to get money from it

2019-01-04 19:50:39 UTC

Under moral relativism, this behavior is neither right or wrong because reasons.

2019-01-04 19:50:52 UTC

Or lack there of.

2019-01-04 19:51:24 UTC

And this is why morals are not relative

2019-01-04 19:51:38 UTC

Yes.

2019-01-05 02:33:15 UTC

congress person make internet poll, what could go wrong?

2019-01-05 02:34:22 UTC

ohhhhhh that's going to be beautiful.

2019-01-05 02:34:30 UTC

We likely won't see a result but it would be beautiful

2019-01-05 02:37:36 UTC

Lol. Time to troll.

2019-01-05 02:37:59 UTC

Transform and troll out?

2019-01-05 02:38:11 UTC

Rock n' troll?

2019-01-05 02:38:27 UTC

trollin' and a-strollin'?

2019-01-05 02:38:47 UTC

Lol. Dad jokes are the best.

2019-01-05 03:01:14 UTC

Some good news.

2019-01-05 13:44:10 UTC

@Shadows heaven forbid we aren't all fucking SJWs so stop treating us like such

2019-01-05 23:46:17 UTC

They weren't leaning anything anyway

2019-01-05 23:48:34 UTC

that's not necessarily true. learning how to be a socialist is still learning

2019-01-05 23:59:20 UTC

i didn't know you were here too, @Poppy Rider lol

2019-01-05 23:59:46 UTC

Been here a while. Buety and the Beta is great.

2019-01-05 23:59:49 UTC

Hi.

2019-01-06 01:58:18 UTC

@Deleted User What does your complaining have to do with the post i left?

2019-01-06 04:55:19 UTC

GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR RACIST FACTS!

2019-01-06 05:46:57 UTC

Thanks! Iโ€™ll give it a read over and see if my views have been changed

2019-01-06 05:47:06 UTC

married women still want the insurance of government incase of divorce or being widowed

2019-01-06 05:48:22 UTC

I think women should vote, but we need to change things.

2019-01-06 05:53:01 UTC

Dunno if it will change your mind. This Harvard research paper was from 1999, before the even more brutal government social programs like VAWA and current state of the family court system, which btw, is being funded by your pensions which should run out by 2030/35, IIRC

2019-01-06 05:54:04 UTC
2019-01-06 05:55:24 UTC

I donโ€™t have a pension though but that still sucks

2019-01-06 05:56:20 UTC

Yeah this is a clash of ideas for me. I donโ€™t like the effect of women voting but itโ€™s hard for me to just say that a fully aware adult human being shouldnโ€™t be allowed to have input in how she is governed

2019-01-06 05:59:18 UTC

the issue is that women don't have the same obligations of men, nor could or should they do the same as men.

2019-01-06 06:00:13 UTC

you could revisit that when biological men have babies

2019-01-06 06:01:17 UTC

The realization that men and women are so different has really changed my world view over the past couple years. I used to be hard core libertarian and learning about the differences between male and female temperaments at large really throws a wrench into the hole thing

2019-01-06 06:01:25 UTC

these obligations or lack there of, motivate men and women differently

2019-01-06 06:01:50 UTC

Its not a clash of ideas for me, if you are a citizen of the US, you should be able to vote.
But our government needs to stop pandering to poor interests, and we need to work on stopping that with any social program they employ (which yes, is easy to say).

2019-01-06 06:02:27 UTC

how about limiting the franchise to net taxpayers

2019-01-06 06:02:56 UTC

Thatโ€™s like saying a boat should have holes but those holes shouldnโ€™t leak though if Agent Smith is to be believed

2019-01-06 06:03:46 UTC

Wow @amlam way to look at women just as holes.... Very sexist of you.

2019-01-06 06:03:52 UTC

*laughs*

2019-01-06 06:04:00 UTC

a statistcal study done in New Zealand showed that while most men paid more in than they took out, women took like $200k more than they put in

2019-01-06 06:04:37 UTC

*over a lifetime

2019-01-06 06:04:45 UTC

I mean women would take out a lot less if they didnโ€™t marry the state. But as long as women vote for the option then I guess thatโ€™ll happen

2019-01-06 06:04:57 UTC

Fuck I think Iโ€™m being red pilled

2019-01-06 06:05:53 UTC

@Agent Smith That happens all around the world (as i'm sure you know), but that just some of the only data we have on it.

2019-01-06 06:06:07 UTC

yup

2019-01-06 06:06:54 UTC

don't get me wrong - this also means that men on disability/unemployment benefits also don't get to vote

2019-01-06 06:07:15 UTC

@amlam Just don't go as far as Blonde, she gets annoying with it sometimes lol

2019-01-06 06:07:58 UTC

I mean Iโ€™m all for tax payers getting more of a vote. You contribute more to the system you should get more of a say. Everyone is subject to the laws of the state so everyone gets a vote for that but not everyone is contributing the funds so those that do should get more say

2019-01-06 06:08:06 UTC

I guess thatโ€™s what lobbying is for though

2019-01-06 06:08:10 UTC

And campaign donations

2019-01-06 06:09:29 UTC

Still doesnโ€™t quite make up for it though because you have to spend extra money

2019-01-06 06:09:46 UTC

You should just be entitled to more vote based on how much you pay in taxes

2019-01-06 06:10:07 UTC

that would be bad actually amlam
