    Not necessarily alive, but fresh. Putting them in the freezer for about a half hour, while alive, slows their metabolism to the point of numbness. From there, you either bisect the head with a chefs knife, killing instantaneously with what experts claim "zero pain" or throw them in a ready steamer, where they will also be dead within ten seconds, also with zero pain.

    This is the patriarchy teaching you that all women aren't really people, but randomly generated "characters" who exist only for the pleasure of dickwolves.

    OK, this might not be the right forum for this, but while we're on the subject, could I have someone tell me why I'm wrong to think that being offended is a choice that we make?

    Someone called them the "Offenderati"--and Liberal or Conservative, they always seem to be placing the blame on people not taking responsibility for their words/actions. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes, because to me, they're placing the responsibility for their REactions to these actions on the 'offending' party. I understand; there are crimes, and those who commit them ought to be punished. But it seems to me like getting (emotionally) offended is at least as much the responsibility of the offended party as the offend-er (hyphen to distinguish from actual criminal offenders).

    I live in what is probably one of the most conservative cultures in America--Provo, Utah. We Mormons love us some rules and guidelines. I see people here who get offended at the drop of a hat (literally), or a joke spoken at the 'wrong' time, and it just seems silly to waste so much emotional energy telling other people that they have offended you. It's one thing to intentionally piss someone off, but getting mad and angry at someone who unintentionally offended you, or who said something that you and your particular circle of friends feel is "offensive" but is entirely unoffensive to him...

    So, when I see feminists mad at the world, or entire countries threatening death because their particular spiritual value was not shared by another (remember the whole "Muhammad in cartoon" issue a few years back?), it just feels like such a waste of time and energy.

    And I know that there's gotta be some logical and rational reason for me to be wrong about this. So, please, in all seriousness, help me see what I'm blind to with this idea of "being offended is a choice you make."

    ok carepost coming in:

    to me the entire reason "edgy" humour is funny is because it is dangerous, because you are walking a fine line that requires a certain amount of skill and with no garuntee of success. good comedians understand this and can pull it off with finesse, hacks dont and rely on shock with no substance. thats the difference between a dave chappelle and a carlos mecia.

    attempting "edgy" humour and then, when someone gets offended turning round and saying "oh no its not MY responsibility for the words i said. its YOUR responsibility for being offended" is lame and cowardly as hell. and with issues relating to gender/race specificly it has a way of it just becoming an expression of "lol, im a straight white male so this word doesent have power over me watch how i use it freely sorry if it OFFENDS you". thats what the blogger that everyone is (ironically) getting offended about is arguing, not that rape jokes literally produce rapists but that a culture that says that if you dont get rape jokes its YOUR fault for being an uptight killjoy basically marginalises rape victims even more than they already are.

    "why cant everyone just put aside their moral/cultural values and adopt mine so i dont have to hear your dissaproval? wouldnt that be easier?" i dont know about you but i would feel like a real shithead if i laughed along to some blowhard at a party making racist jokes and i wouldnt ask anyone else to do similar.

    really im not saying dont make edgy jokes, just dont get indignant when someone gets offended by the thing you specificly thought was funny because you knew it was offensive. take some responsibility for the shitty shit that comes out of your mouth.

    gabes post is a fairly reasonable: "welp, this is our comic I guess. if you dont like it its like this pretty much all the way down" but some of the reactions in this thread, particularly the ones that go "well its the WHINING FEMINISTS who are REALLY desensitising people to rape" are not.

    the reason they're kept alive is to keep them super fresh
    cooking them while still alive doesn't magically make them taste better

    they do however release an enzyme shortly after death that pretty much turns them to shitty mush

    which is why they're kept alive

    If you are too concerned about lobsters feeling pain before you steam them you can put them in the freezer for abou 15 minutes.

    It'll slow their metabolism down so much that they shouldnt feel a thing when you toss them in the steamer.

    Bifurcating the head swiftly also gives them a painless death.

    The annoying part isn't that some people get offended by humor. It's that a subsection of that group takes it upon themselves to make sure that they make as many people aware of the fact that they're offended as possible. You can be offended till your little heart's content. Just shut the fuck up about it.

    the loudmouth christians like him are just as capable of turning people off to religion as crazy feminists are. Most catholic priests are not pedophiles, yet it has had a clear impact on the religion and its following.
