@adiwan Oh wow, I saw that video about 2 hours ago without context.

Oddly, even though now I know just how tragic of an accident this was. My reaction is pretty much still akin to this http://rainbowdash.net/url/875229

@mrmattimation I do not know what a 'juul pod' is but if you are looking to date people born before about 1999 and grew up in the internet-age but somehow are not smart enough to figure out how to 'smuggle' what I assume to be ordinary supermarket stock items... Well...

"Like Oh My God Becky, look at that weird thing. Like why does it not read @G-mail or something so I know what kinda, like, creeper I'm even sending an application 2. Like, hella uncool."

Ofcourse I am joking just as much I hope as you are

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I have the opposite problem

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation That is absolutely right, though we would no doubt get into a Dexter vs Mandark slapfight situation over the real definition of 'leak' ( and even less doubt regarding 'what is and what is not a whistle-blower' ). I know for a fact that I am not going to run out of popcorn any time soon.

@scribus "considering how many people are shot in the back while running, or tazed while already handcuffed on the ground, I do believe the system as a whole qualifies as triggerhappy." - Scribus

Yeah, and that is something that should not happen. Maybe I am too simple in thinking like this, but you would think that body cams and stuff like that would before-long filter out all the bad cops from the good cops.

"I wouldn't ask the party who had been whipped by the system for 250+ years to be the first to yield." - Scribus

I understand that, then again with one side of the 'non-debate' getting irrationally angry when someone utters 'Pizza Lives Matter' or 'No Lives Matter' ( actual words obscured for the sake of my sanity lest we actually fall down that hole ). I think that you are WAAAAAAY too far ahead of reality if you think anyone in their right mind would even put down a gun.

A is too afraid that it is a trick, B is too afraid of losing leverage.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Oh and yes, I absolutely agree that actually using a piece of machinery/tool ( it being a gun, tazer, WE, ) should be the last ditch effort to resolve something.

Then again I did not see what happened, so I do not think I should reserve any 'buts' or 'what if' regarding to what happened in what is essentially my hallway.

Hmm, kinda glad I said yes to the councelling now, though I am probably going to end up being the most philosofistic person that councellor faces this year.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan Idunno. With only like a thousand deaths between 2000 and 2017 I am pretty sure more perps died in the back of a squad car because someone took something.

Still, not something you want to put on your marketing material I guess. "Axon Enterprise Inc, Only indirectly responsible for roughly 60 tazer related deaths per year"

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus That is the silly part. Nothing really happened except me noticing something, calling the neighbours ( noone was home ), me calling the cops.

Sitting there like, what am I going to do now. So I jammed the inner doors using some things I had lying around ( Putty knife FTW ) and then got an idea of getting a needle from my sowing-kit and ducktaping it through keyhole so the sylinder could not turn ( I never did that BTW )

Then after the police came they asked me if I knew who the guy was who tried to get inside of my home. No I did not know him.

And then I was asked if I required councelling. I mean, I said yes but, Nothing happened.

Free psych eval I guess.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Are they triggerhappy ? Or are they unwilling to take a bullet in case someone shifty goes to draw a gun ?

Probably a little bit of both when it comes down to it. I know for a fact that statistically seen the nearly monthly shootouts in America paint a picture that is none too flattering and would leave many people to assume something.

Head-breaking-part is that no-one is really wrong either. At least untill you are going on a case by case basis. I can't believe that there are many people out there who do such things for fun.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Yes, and with good reason. The sheer amount of firearms present in the America's pretty much requires all police officers to have a good training for every possible what if scenario. Just for metermaids alone there is a 6 hour long training every quarter/halfyear just to go over 'what would you do if'-training.

Whereas in most parts of Western Europe you live really closely together, even in the inner cities apparently to population density ( so getting help is seemingly a lot easier by, Idunno, simply screaming for help ) and the amount of officers that get hurt/injured on the job is rivaling that of librarians. That includes paper-cuts by the way.

Also for some reason I am now reminded of https://youtu.be/p1sxc3V0lzQ . I guess I know why, kinda. Still a fun RLM vid to watch :)

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan NGL, I have NO idea. For all I know he had a NERF gun on him that he painted black.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation I was not saying that Trump was in a thing you made. Not at all.

I was saying that I can make a pretty damn well estimate as to what you'll like or what you will not like.

Hence why, and I will quote myself : "I dare to bet on a day of soberness that where I set the bar for what is and is not funny might as well be on a different pane of existence compared to where you put the bar. That is if we were to estimate the distance between the 2 proverbial bars."

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Nope, I have no idea what an intentionally topical joke is, considdering I do not know the topic RN.

However I was not talking about your "Couch Gag" things. I was talking about, oh Idunno, Swole Foods, and the Twin Souls, and pretty much all the conversations we, well, some of them did not end well. Still, you slowly but surely get to feel what sort of person you are dealing with.

As such I feel like I kinda know what kinda humor you would like, and the kind you would not like. As such a conversation of what is 'acceptable humor' between the two of us would be quite hard, if not completely abstract.

So who is to say what is and is not deserving of a good old round of Twitter/SocialMedia hatredstorm ? The mob ?

And if it is the mob, do you think that the mob will change when Trump has vacated the White House ? I could make a terrible pun regarding those who shall not be erased RN. But that could be in poor taste, and we both know they will still be around after Trump

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation That's not really true, all of the Bush jokes I remember were mostly about him being slow or dumb, so like 95%+ of that repertoire was already written before he appeared on a ballot, and 95%+ of the near same jokes after he left office simply went to Mitch McConnel.

I do not know any Mitch McConnel jokes of before or during the Bush era though. Probably because he was still a whip back then.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation He really wasn't. Before Obama's first term he was in Africa. Before Obama's second term he was somewhat active in the stand up community in the States. Aparently that is where Jon Steward actually first met him and propped him up to take over his show.

Sadly, if you look at Trevor's very first stand up routine you can still see all of the elements that make him such a bad comedian today. Most mentionworthy, always laughing at his own jokes before the audience starts to.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Yes, you are right, the point was offensive jokes.

Then again, I read your comic thing. I dare to bet on a day of soberness that where I set the bar for what is and is not funny might as well be on a different pane of existence compared to where you put the bar. That is if we were to estimate the distance between the 2 proverbial bars.

For instance, example in 10 seconds : http://rainbowdash.net/url/875220

Then again he also did this so he is pretty much also my hero : http://rainbowdash.net/url/875221

So, ehmm, yeah, for comedy to return to the way it used to be to a time before offensive jokes were not immediatly followed by an unironic round of legitimate twitter hatred. My guess is to go ask Louis CK and David Chapelle.

I do not quite think the world is ready to separate the art from the artist again anyway.

Alcoholic Beast Matt

@mrmattimation Do I think you are able to get the Trump out of the White House ? yes. There are ways and means to get that done.

But do I think you can get the Trump out of the Comedians ? I have NO idea how you can get that done, especially for those who have done nothing but make non-stop Trump jokes for the past 4+ years.

Tell you what though, after such a long amount of time there is NO doubt on my mind that these people legitimately hate Trump. The bigger the hateboner the bigger the chance that they will never be funny again. Steven Colbert, Trevor Noah, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel & Seth Meyers would be my top list of such 'far gone' 'comedians' that should Trump be removed will in all likelyhood never fully recover. Be it through weakness or through fan-expectations and them caving to 'give the fans what they want'.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus The divine powers or yet another GNU Social thing ?

... Yeah I know but I could hope...

But seriously, once you figure how to get more people to use a GNU Social instead of facebook, I would be all ears.

There are SO many people in my immediate surroundings who go "Wait, you did not know what, I posted it on Facebook like a month ago". I would call them stupid boomers but some of them are not even 20 yet.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus Well, honestly. In a click-to-click based economy wouldn't fact-checking ANYTHING ( let alone politicians, because they bring in the big clicks ) be sort of shooting yourself in your foot ?

Grats on cutting the cord. I have heard some of my vague friends refer to FaceBook as Umbilical Cord even, food for thought.

Alcoholic Beast Scribus

@scribus I am sorry, I can only seem to think about this now .

Warning : Pretty sure my strict aunt would classify that as either NSFW or "weirdo internet batcave" ( which is by her definition NSFW ) http://rainbowdash.net/url/875218

Surely you have read the T-shirts. I would suspect you wanted to get away from your job after 11 hours.

Alcoholic Beast adiwan

@adiwan I'll trade with you.

Well that is impossible sadly, best of luck to you :o . May your near future hold cake or other cool baked goods.
