**For the humorless leftier-than-thous in the room: all of this is jokes.**

it is SOP to claim that people who didn't find humor in one's failed joke are defective and lack the exquisite sense of humor required to find it humorous. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and a failed joke is just bereft of humor.

But you didn't respond as one would respond to an unfunny/failed joke - at least, not at first. You (and table) responded as if to a serious proposal. Since table has no discernible sense of humor at all, I expected that from him, but not you.

In any case, I've already voted, so I'm probably gonna shut my brain off to all this shit for the next five weeks.

I don’t read that tweet as support for Guiado.

come ON

A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Chooglin (will), Friday, 25 September 2020 03:20 (three years ago) link

it is carefully crafted to suggest support for guiado, while at the same time it retains sufficient ambiguity that it only endorses certain ideals that guiado does not necessarily exemplify. iow, it is pure diplomat-speak.

unperson, it's not something to be joked about. it's genocide. and the framing you adopted is the kind of casual racism "joke" i expect in the comments under a right-wing news-site story shared by some asshole's asshole uncle. it's way way out of line. imo.

also the "this is a racist joke, with my added haha at the end" style is not funny

Karl Malone, Friday, 25 September 2020 05:55 (three years ago) link

this is a joke a racist person would make, if they were here

haha

the unperson post struck me as pretty clear/obvious comic hyperbole, failed or otherwise.

You forget my posts about messy creampies, among others, unperson.

Your trolling 'jokes' just aren't funny. I laugh at things people post here all the time. Perhaps you need to adjust your sense of humor so that you don't need to utilize the most marginalized group in the country as the butt of your 'jokes'

Unfortunately this thread has wandered far from its original purpose, which was talking about how much we all hate Joe Biden. I apologize for any part I may have had in that derailment.

but also fuck you (unperson), Friday, 25 September 2020 12:00 (three years ago) link

ok, but do you have any interest in apologizing for making/repeating racist jokes about genocide?

Doctor Casino, Friday, 25 September 2020 13:26 (three years ago) link

like i'm sorry the issue here is not a general drift from the thread topic

Doctor Casino, Friday, 25 September 2020 13:30 (three years ago) link

who cares if you get an apology or not, FP and move on ffs. do you people ever get tired of meaningless online sanctimony

New board description plz.

Doctor Casino otm.

Anyway, we got our first Biden mailer, and tbh, while its design was clearly aimed at an older demographic, it did its job relatively well. Not sure of the efficacy of distributing such mailers in an area that will go 94% for Biden almost guaranteed, but I was a little pleasantly surprised by its messaging, which really hammered on COVID and economic recovery.

healthy cocaine off perfect butts (the table is the table), Friday, 25 September 2020 13:46 (three years ago) link

(I should reiterate that I dislike Biden and find pretty much everything about this situation terrible, but will be voting for him because I hate Nazis).

Since table has no discernible sense of humor at all

wtf! table totally has a sense of humor, and is hilarious IRL (c.f. he laughs at my jokes)

I know you're not a Biden fan, but I'm just curious why this surprised you (especially since this was such a big theme of the DNC).

jaymc, Friday, 25 September 2020 20:11 (three years ago) link

I guess I wasn't surprised by the messaging itself, but more by how it was presented-- in a manner that was people-focused.

probably she meant "best rapper who ever lived", but more funny to pretend she doesn't know he's dead, or ask such dumb questions

Once a long time ago I was sitting outside a metro stop and some guy with a microphone and a field recorder came up to me and asked me if I wanted to be on the radio. I said sure because I had nothing better to do (I was waiting on a ride to come pick me up, I think) and he began asking me rapid-fire questions that were obviously designed to elicit stupid responses, presumably for some morning zoo shit. I didn’t fall for it and he moved on to go find some other poor sap.

I imagine running for any reasonably high office in the land is like having that experience pretty much every other day or more.

During the week when the wildfires in Oregon were at their hellish worst I watched several live broadcasts of the governor giving daily press conferences, which were intelligent and informative, after which news reporters asked her many remarkably stupid questions.

finally someone with the courage to speak out on this!

sarahell, Saturday, 26 September 2020 18:20 (three years ago) link

we could comment on the irony of Kamala's choice of rappers being a former prison inmate in the context of her problematic role in the racist carceral state, but we really should emphasize the fact she chose someone who is not alive as an indication of her overall dishonesty and low character?

n.b. i did think it was funny but ... just nbd

sarahell, Saturday, 26 September 2020 18:24 (three years ago) link

It's sad to see Democrats in disarray over the age-old East Coast/West Coast divide.

Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Saturday, 26 September 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link

but we really should emphasize the fact she chose someone who is not alive as an indication of her overall dishonesty and low character?

Is anyone suggesting this?

Like Hillary's hot sauce it's just poorly staged folksiness - as cringeworthy as any relatable brand on Twitter. If asked, you don't have to pretend that you were cool an smoked weed in college while listening to Snoop ten years before he released a single.

Oh, I agree! Like, I definitely cringe when I read/see stuff like that. It almost makes me want to be a campaign manager or PR person to help otherwise decent candidates avoid it, but ... that is too much professional masochism even for me.
