Oh sorry, yeah, I guess "improv" is the preferred terminology although I'm not even sure what the differences are among improv, stand-up, and sketch comedy (please do not take this as a request to have them explained to me).
xp lol

actual thing said to me on a date: "it wasn't like a tent, it was more like a yurt"
― goole, Thursday, 13 March 2014 20:27 (ten years ago) link
I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY, at least you'd get the opportunity to use the word "yurt" which is the funniest word ever invented and so fun to say.

Yoga in a yurt, it's too much, stop this giggle spasm immediately.

Nhex strangely otm about improv vs standup.
caek, GOOD improv is the foundation of nearly all the best comedy in North America in the last 50+ years. Standup is largely a source of bad sitcoms.

right, but north america could make good comedy without a mandatory improv-based apprenticeship.
and false dichotomy: i obviously hide and block standups too.

American dating culture is pretty terrible, though, isn't it? I mean, this thread.

idk any other culture's dating culture to compare. i'd imagine they're all kind of shitty?

You've got a point there.

if you hate dating American women, then... maybe you just hate women and American women don't like that
