Vince should hang and so should Linda (both for a number of things)

They knew about it, fired everyone, then rehired them

But also TKO purchased them much more recently than these events, and the DOJ knew about it after it happened and went after him for steroids instead. It’s stupid bc there’s only a handful of people left who could (rightfully) face anything on this, but I don’t think TKO is one of them? Can someone ELI5 this?

Behind the Bastards did SIX whole episodes on VKM which is a great listen

Guild Wars 2

Maybe like 5-10 mins of Grim Dawn here and there

In the tabletop space, my group is recording season 3 of our podcast and this season we are playing Mausritter, and it’s a blast

This is pretty much the only video game I play like I’ll hop on Arkham Knight or Grim Dawn or literally anything else for maybe 30 mins and I’m like… Nah Mechanist go BRRRRRRT

Wife and I both are currently finishing SotO storyline, already did Janthir so I guess we’ll try and get sky scale after the story

2300+ hrs since pre launch and I literally haven’t done half of what the game has to offer

This a lot but also they grew up in the time before their hero did away with the Fairness Doctrine, so when they were formative and watching Cronkite and Rather et al on TV, it wasn’t obscured through an echo chamber opinion piece masquerading as The Truth ™️so they never needed to think critically about their news sources bc I’m sure most of what was reported was factual (albeit whitewashed I’m sure)

Yes. Gravy Team 6 has spent generations fighting an asymmetrical war against Russia then the US and I’m sure they train every day at Taliban compounds or are remnants of the Republican Guard

Be real: they sit in their garage drinking shitty beer and jerking off their unsatisfying-to-anyone cocks to guns, trucks, and Trump

I mean, they did a great job Jan 6, when Babbitt did not comply, of fighting back and showing big ol tyrannical gov! /s

Jk, they ran like little girls as soon as the reality set in

Lemme see any of these fucks hump full battle rattle 15 miles before we talk about them staging an insurgent war against the US

Christ, I bet all but a handful can’t do a single pull-up

Yes, there are people in that culture that are capable of small-arms engagement, using fire and maneuver to close with engage and destroy the enemy, but the VAST majority of them are fatbody chodes who fantasize about living in right-wing Divergence or some other young adult fantasy novel series

Bruh the shit going on in Ohio this election cycle where LaRose has reworded (see also the abortion amendment where his “summary” was longer than the actual text of the amendment) the ballot to obfuscate the actual intent of Issue 1 to make people vote No which helps consolidate the Republicans grip

It’s ridiculous. My wife is relatively intelligent and she doesn’t understand the wording on the ballot and I explained to her that despite the reading, a No vote will continue the status quo. Like I’m a free speech kind of guy but just put the damn text on the damn ballot like don’t bullshit us Frankie!

Fuckin schmucks

Man of Steel Woman of Kleenex by Larry Niven is a weird take on this

Actually yes lol I do DDP Yoga

Usually less than 100g a day for protein. I stay as far away from oxalates as possible I would be surprised if I have 10mg/day. I know 40mg/day is considered low oxalate.

I have gotten kidney stones frequently since 2006

Cut out tea, nuts, potatoes, chocolate, whole grains, carrots, spinach, and everything else. Keep my sodium around 1500mg/day

I still form them prolifically

I had a 2cm stone back in March that they tried blasting and ended up getting chunks of the stone stuck between the stent and the wall of my ureter. After keeping the stent in for 3 months my urologist gave up and another one picked me up. When he went in to laser the stones, he had to laser chunks that had adhered to the stent before he could get it out

They shockwaved my other side last month and got the newer stent out and had my follow up today and there’s two more little ones on the left side already forming up

Next step is an endocrinologist

Two chances. Two of them to spell altar the right way!

Also Crown and Skull has the best dungeon design format and rules. This is my hill.

I guess in Chappelle’s view women are just their cycle or something

I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I’m not giving him the time for anything else

Idk why that’s the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn’t criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you’re skinnermeming yourself. “I can’t be wrong it’s the trans supporters that are wrong!”

That was… The point though? He thinks trans women aren’t women. That was like a full third of the show’s transcript, and I even left some off

So what do you view as the point of saying all these things or the point of the show itself?

I guess the point was about the one token trans person he deemed worthy of his respect (who killed herself, probably unrelated) bc she was totally fine with him making fun of her identity so that makes it ok to just dead gender her after talking about how he pretty much bullied her and she took it bc of his position in the industry so that makes it ok to just degrade whole group of people

Or something

Go off though if you wanna defend transphobia I guess

His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.

Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:

• Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.

• And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!

• If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.

• trans-bitch from the picture.

• A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.

• I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.

• “Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.

• Gender is a fact.

• Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?

• I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.

And here’s what the actual goat comedian who had a lasting impact in the industry beyond a mediocre skit series in late 90s Comedy Central and one movie might retort to Chappelle

A Supermarket in California by Ginsberg. Idk why it just always has stuck with me

Texas? Where’s the “you need the 2nd to defend the 1st” crowd?

Ish? I run machines at a steel tube/chromed bar processing plant in the Midwest which is kinda neat but also mind-numbing, but the money is really good for what I do. They just offered me an outside sales position over my whole state so… I like doing new things and my background is in food and bev so I’d much rather be dealing with people than pushing buttons on a CNC or hone all day plus for a pay increase and not being all gross and oily when I get off work? No-brainer
