you still can, you just have to stand by it
What I wonder is if the backlash will be we go towards more freedom or right wing Authoritarianism
saying "sorry" for jokes is conceding that you were wrong
very true, is easier when there's less they can target, makes it all the more important when people with louder voices can do it and show how weak the outrage actually is
absolutely, given I have a big love for comedy I don't apologise for jokes just because someone is offended by them. I obviously don't go out of my way to be malicious, I just stand by my own intent, they're the ones choosing to be offended by it at that point
the world seems to have forgotten Hitchens' answer to "I am offended!"
"so what?"
I'd like to hope for freedom, but with the pushing for words being violence, it's going to need to be backlash against more than edgy jokes
When I was younger if someone got actually offended by something that only made it funnier. If someone said something you didn't like you'd hide it otherwise they'd only ramp it up.
That's more or less what I say when someone is offended, it's not my problem if the mean words hurt you
the offense can often be the biggest source of humour in a joke
Yeah racial jokes wouldn't be funny if there was no controversy.
it's like they don't realise the more they take offense at every little thing, the greater the supply of these kinds of jokes to counter them
because people are going to find them ridiculous and soft
Is everyone here new? Are there other rooms or something you are admitted into? what are all those blank recordings?
New people end up in this room
Oh am i an immigrant now

we'd best gibs you dat
i really dont know why i thought the libary channel would be full of book recommendations
Hahaha
that would be a nice addition though, since Sargon sometimes gets asked about the books he's read
I need to find a free copy of Dune God Emperor audiobook, the others were amazing
yeah and as a fellow intellectual stuck in calais waiting to get in, a book would be nice
ewww audiobooks
a nice hardback that bankrupts me
when you're in Calais, you're basically here already, only a matter of time
good point
it is rightful british clay
I do prefer hardbooks myself, though I can see the appeal of audiobooks, especially when it's a story that really benefits from background sounds for atmosphere
thats a good point
but for anyone who listens to asmr i can see it having the same affect for me and just clonking me out
