it's like 'comedian' vs 'humorist'... you know just by the title that one could be funny, while the other DEFINITELY won't be

SJW Peddlerman

I think in the past I only saw "humorist" applied to someone who worked in writing, like James Thurber

It seems also like there has been a gradual shift in the meanings of humor and comedy, with the older meanings being less directly tied to "stuff that will make you laugh out loud."

But still, fuck that shit, it's boring.

not related to uncool conservative opinions but wrt to paypal I just saw someone who tweeted a short 6-post thread on why the nyer "cat person" is a short story work of fiction and not a "piece" or an "article" after it got a little traction she said "if you are using this thread in your creative writing seminar here is my paypal link"

after the year where multiple idiots got famous enough via bad political ideas on twitter to live off of crowdfunding despite having backgrounds in poetry or something, I feel the door is open wide enough that anyone who gets a foothold has a fair chance of breaking through

pure american entrepreneurship is alive

when the crowdfunded liberal bubble bursts the apple podcast app will be a wasteland of abandoned podcast husks that male vitality serum companies will take over like old urls

markets + money are the best solution to the problem of allocating limited resources to people who don't agree on how they should be allocated

people who are critical of capitalism are often just bad at it

After discovering Lil Pump:

1) Where are this boy's parents?
2) How is everybody involved with his career not being charged with Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor?
3) Where is the system?

I guess I could have had the same thoughts re: Lil Wayne back in the '90s, but I was not-yet-old-enough then to have those type of thoughts.

Poor Lil Pump. Another aspiring young artist cut down by the scourge of fentanyl. Will his senseless death finally be what it takes to spur us to action. Thoughts and... Wait, what's that you say? Wrong guy? They made another one?

I believe Juanita Broadderick 100% and the people on the left who see complications there are fucking cowardly enablers

these i both totally agree with fwiw but i don't think they're actually conservative! lol

it's cool that the only 2 good ilx threads this year are 'Post a controvesial opinion' and this one imo

my conservative belief is that this thread is actually bad

that's a sign that it is good

your mom is hot

― The times they are a changing, perhaps (map)

the true conservative belief is "your 12 year old daughter is hot"

rolling explaining conservatism however, is bad

that's a sign that it is good

reflexive counterintuition is the most conservative thing itt

nothing conservative about challops

Flopsotm

this thread is good but it's bad for you like eclairs

some foods are just better with butter, and attempts to equate "contemporary" culinary attempts using butter substitutes to the deliciousness of the butter-y versions feel like a misuse of affirmative action

insert "cultured" butter pun

bro didn't you have a trust fund

a trust fund is for sure the best way to be good at capitalism

So if I'm "bad" at "Capitalism" I'm just SOL basically?

lol i have no trust fund, not sure where you got that idea

you’re not SOL brimstead, have a growth mindset, get better at it

There's other things you can do but whinging that capitalism doesn't suit u is prob not one of the most constructive of those things

god will you stop advocating armed insurrection?

v few ppl really take part in capitalism in a way which cld be assessed, unless you count that itself as being bad at capitalism, which is imo unsound

I aM bAd at cApiTaliSM

I prefer being bad at basketball to being bad at capitalism cos then all that happens is I miss wide open jumpers instead of winding up bankrupt

I'll just be an enforcer and foul Durant 6 times a game

I hate the word empathy. Especially when it is used by social justice oriented k-12 educators, as in, “schools should teach kids empathy,” as if this alone would be enough to teach them moral reasoning. Empathy is a totally subjective and even narcissistic basis for morality. The idea is that you should care about someone because you also can understand and feel their pain, not because they just are a person with equal rights and dignity.
