This is actually a great idea.

Cops ticketing random people? Put on your ICE uniform and watch them wave you by.

Huge line of people at a restaurant? Put on your ICE uniform and watch the line separate.

Gotta take a dump? Put on your ICE uniform and shit on the floor.

Pretty sure that is already a Harry Potter character.

This has Nathan Fielder energy and it’s great

I mean sometimes it’s better that way. I like watching live comedy, in dingy comedy clubs where there’s a strict no phones policy. A lot of the best stories all live in my head.

I met the neighbors who talked about their trip in Europe, and then proceeded to show me a 2 minute video of fireworks in Paris off their phone.

It wasn’t even like a good shot or framing, nor could I tell it was Paris. It was just a random hotel room, and in the background, fireworks.

She then put her phone away and said, “Neat, huh?”

I don’t know if it was just peak comedy or if I was being Punk’d or something.

I’ve been spending the past hour before bed just going hard on my writing. I like writing fiction for fun, but I also like spending time writing backstory/world building that I’ll never use. So I do that part right before I fall asleep.

Last night, I fell asleep to writing how my alien race uses food utensils. It’s pretty boring in general for me, but it helps my brain get to a happy spot for dreams.

The photos of trash all over the street, melting in the hot summer? That’s how you do it.

Sorry - I’m too old to understand. Is the controversy good or bad?

Like, how South Park would actively mock religions because they knew the news would give them more exposure?

It’s crazy how many cool local arcades exist on the West Coast of the US.

I lived in the East Coast and they’re all shitty chains like Dave and Busters, selling you $20 microwaved chicken wings and watered down beer, while charging you $3.42 in D&B Fake bucks to play Mortal Kombat 3.

While West Coast, you spend $10 to play hundreds of SNES games and they give you a bowl of Fruit loops and milk so you can relieve your childhood.

Yeah but before, we could eat BBQ and blow off fireworks and pretend like America is going to fix itself.

Literally nobody I know is doing a cook out.

We have some scheduled on July 12th.

Like the McRib and chlamydia, we’re back baby!

Zop.

2017 - this has to be satire

2018 - oh wow, I didn’t know that was a thing

2019 - oh wtf nobody’s going to stop him?

2020 - Oh cool, pandemic. He wants to inject bleach and horse juice. Cool cool cool.

2021 to 2024 - the great unfucking

2025 - haha we’re so fucked

As we watch Kanye, Asmongold, [random influencer] continues to say and encourage their fan base to believe in the most terrible shit…

Remember that if their actions start affecting too much of their pocketbook, they can just apologize. Oh, and pay PR shills to clean up their mess.

PewDiePie spent years putting that belief out in many different ways. What you saw in the news was just what was reported. There’s no remorse. Just a “Well sorry that happened”.

You’re not misremembering.

He had a team scrub that off the internet and now a bunch of people have been gaslit.

PewDiePie’s PR machine got you so good you’re defending a multimillionaire for his BS.

From what I saw, it wasn’t just “hey”. Hey was the yellow flag.

It was all the one word responses. To everything. It was the job of the guy to be entertaining on the app to barely any response.

That takes its toll on men, especially when there were women who used it as a source of free entertainment.

Married dude here who has a lot of single dude friends. 1/3 is accurate.

And if it’s not Rogan, it’s some other right-adjacent influencer. It’s fucking weird too. They’re regular dudes, helping old ladies on the street and supporting a neighbor. Then suddenly, they crack and share how terrible women are.

Then you got women who are on the other side, complaining about how terrible men are.

I don’t understand it.

Nothing has been done. This escalated every month and will only continue.

They also got this massive budget thanks to the bill that just got passed.

I think they have been. But they’re not reporting it to avoid copycats.

There was a large number of police shootings in my state when one guy opened fire on a state trooper. Then we were hearing stories every week.

So I’m supposed to believe groups of people with masks running up to folks and grabbing them haven’t been getting retaliation back?
