If Chinas Navy pulled up and said “We’re here to get our tankers. Go on, try and stop us.” That would be a slap in the face he wouldnt survive OR he starts WW3… which he also wouldnt survive.

Its very much the same as standup comedy. Its 100% you.
If people dont watch its because YOU arent entertaining enough, YOU arent likeable enough, YOU arent putting in enough effort and energy, YOU dont bring anything new to the table, YOU dont take enough risks… Theres no team, theres no band, theres no coworkers, its all on you. Thats a lot to hang your entire livelihood on.
I could only do streaming or a YT if I had “never work again” money because without the pressure I probably could be fun and entertaining the whole time.

I think Ricky has a problem in that some people go to his shows expecting a sterility of humor you find on tv and get proper standup. You almost never hear outrage about Jeselnik because his entire repertoire is “I’m saying the wildest shit I can think of and thats what you’re here for”
I have mixed feelings about Dave Chappelle because I genuinely believe in inclusivity which unfortunately includes having jokes made about you (which some communities do not appreciate) but he just did too much and it crossed a line into feeling like bullying behavior so I dont fuck with him at all anymore.

He has always been a FAR better writer than a performer.

But thats just it and what most professional comedians are talking about. They dont want you to be genuinely offended or upset, but if you go to a comedy show or watch a 60 minute special. You laugh at 55 minutes but get offended at the 5 that are about a topic YOU are sensitive about, that 5 minutes wasnt all of a sudden serious statements meant to be taken seriously. It was all jokes. They dont owe anyone an apology because they didnt like parts of their work. They KNOW that not everything is going to land for everyone. If 90% of the audience are laughing, you are killing it.
- Comment on If I got in a collision with a car from the 70s with a car today, would not the 70s car win out since it would primarily be metal? If so why don't people buy more 70's cars? 4 weeks ago:
The sad thing is how good some of those family cars that were so god damn pedestrian 20 years ago are now.
I drove one of the v6 Camrys with the 8 speed… 300hp and half a second faster over the quarter than the gt86… Sure its not manual.and isnt rwd but for a daily… it fucking slapped. “iT cAnT dRiFt” yeah I’m a 40yo man with two kids seats in the back, I’m not trying to tackle Mt Akina.

Why arent people buying more cars from the 70s?
Parts and servicing is a big problem now. A lot of shops wont touch anything they cant plug a diagnostic computer into.
Some parts are made of unobtanium and require complex workarounds or paying through the nose for parts.

I think thats partly because of the 80s and 90s when unibody manufacturing became very commonplace but powered everything and tons of tech wasnt commonplace yet.
People just assume cars kept getting lighter.

The guy was a flog, the killdozer was cool. Same as those 2 guys who made armored suits and robbed the bank leading to a 45 minute shootout in LA. Assholes sure, but ok… pretty epic at the same time.

Leary is a below average comic but I think he is an excellent performer, dude had talent and presence, still does but he stole jokes to get there which means he is permanently a douchebag as far as comics go.

I really enjoyed doing a Cain novel, then a Gaunts Ghosts novel, then a Cain novel and so on.

Quite quickly?
I would say with almost unseemly haste

Or at least go full fucking Orwell with it and let me see the benefits.
Every fucking night someones shithead kids are out breaking into and stealing cars in my neighbourhood and every fucking day I have to dodge unregistered dirt bikes and unrestricted E-bikes on the roads just trying to go to work and do groceries like a regular boring asshole who has to obey all the fucking rules because if I beat the fuck out of the cunt in my driveway trying to get into my car and possibly steal it I’ll catch charges and if I dont pay all the registration costs, insurances and drive exactly as I’m told the government will destroy my livelihood.
Do something about the brainless fucks that cant live in a society FIRST and maybe I’ll complain less about the surveillance state.

TBH its probably been close to that since I used it. Shame, It used to be a solid tool.

Piggybacking off this, is Ccleaner still any good?
- Comment on Streaming didnt exist in 1970 1 month ago:
I know its a bit off topic but at least in Australia all the free to air channels have their own app and if you have them all its a not insignificant selection.
- Comment on Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong? 2 months ago:
Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

This one doesnt rate for me.
You can throw a loosely packed snowball in a fun way and you can throw a compressed af snowball with intent to cause harm.
Show me the video because without evidence this could be anywhere from “stupid cop with stupid hurt feefees” to “Bruh you tried to nail a cop with a 88mph fastball for funsies, the fuck did you think was gonna happen?”
- Comment on Only 21% of Americans Support the United States Initiating an Attack on Iran 2 months ago:
Iran has been pretty consistent in their “Fuck the USA” messaging for a long time. I’m actually surprised its that low given how many of them supported his stances on Greenland and Canada.

Its like when I talk about cars.
I dont speak in make and model, I speak in chassis and engine codes. Replacing an engine is a 1 weekend job that (back in the day) I can do half drunk.
- Comment on WMD 2 months ago:
As a grown man the subject of getting smacked with a thong/flip flop came up and well… we tested it. Grown men spanking each others bare arses with a flip flop. We all agreed that while the activity was slightly gay, it was also hilarious and incredibly painful.
In short, it sucks as much as it did when you were a kid.

Its so prevalent that I had an idea for a movie of a bunch of recently retired dudes being bored with getting old and deciding to re-enact a bunch of their favorite pranks from old movies only to get in JUST far enough to be in deep shit and then realise they are committing felonies and their antics trying to extract themselves.

Taking off a pair of big heavy steel toed workboots after a long day in the sun is pretty fucking good.
- Comment on Why was Rock 'n' Roll seen as the grooviest shit in the 50s when it's just averagely groovy (ie. unremarkable) today? 2 months ago:
Ive always wondered something similar about ancient artwork.
Like, sure I can tell its a horse, but thats a shitty horse. Thats a horse from the finest artistic minds of the day that looks like a 7yo did it these days. Like someone didnt look at that misshapen lump and think "I can make that look more like a horse.

- Comment on Australians banned social media. Now they are worried about teenagers going outside with e-bikes 2 months ago:
In all seriousness its not exactly the most simple thing for a layman.
I speak petrolhead, so when you tell me something has a 2000W motor (Light bulbs and plug in heaters are measured in Watts. I honestly believe they do that on purpose to confuse the issue) I immediately do the conversion to 2kw, which is 2.6 hp on an e-bike that weighs 50kg. A 50cc Vespa makes 3.1hp and weighs 100kg. Now you throw a 50kg rider on there and you have a better power to weight ratio on the E-Bike, and shitloads more torque.
