In the thread about that tumblr comedian rape threat kerfuffle last week (don't look it up unless you want your day to be made considerably worse), someone on r/standup posted that their local mic has a big sign up that says "No rape jokes, you're not Louis" which I think is a perfectly ok thing for them to say and enforce in order to protect their business.
You shouldn't be telling rape jokes at an open mic anyway because you're an open micer and absolutely don't have your craft down well enough to get away with it. Which is their point. Not that only Louis can tell rape jokes.
Rape Jokes are veteran material. Even if it's a good joke, the likelihood of you performing it well, and delivering it properly, is so low that it's not worth it.

Guys I spun fire poi this weekend for the first time. The burn crew was super knowledgeable and helpful and the safety briefing beforehand was very thorough (they had a pretty niggling conversation about the specific fabric composition of my friend's dress which ended in her going back to camp to change before burning).
Once you're holding two flaming, naphtha-soaked balls of kevlar it apparently causes you to forget all the cool things you know how to do with poi
So glad I did it, though.
kevlar? suprised they don't use Nomex
I made these myself. It's kevlar rope around a 2" wood block, secured with an eye hook to some stainless steel ball chain.
Goddamnit. Some superglue got splashed onto my glasses and it's fuckin' impossible to remove. Now I have to go try and make an emergency appointment because I need a new prescription before anyone will give me glasses. Then I have to wait 2 weeks.
Maybe try zenni optical with your old Rx?
Glasses are a scam.
My current prescription is ooooooooooooold.
I will probably try zenni optical though, looks good.
Yeah a $15 pair of glasses should hold you over rather than making an ER/urgent visit for an eye doctor.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Rescue Rangers didn't start out on the disney channel anyway. It was part of a syndicated block called The Disney Afternoon
most fox affiliates carried it.
We had it up here in Canada as well on a channel based out of Edmonton. Loved that block of cartoons as a kid though. Especially when they had Darkwing Duck and Gargoyles.
If you're asking whether you should buy it, I would definitely say yes. It's got a fairly steep learning curve but there's tons of good info and helpful players willing to answer questions. There's a demo for it, but the demo is over a year out of date and the game has changed significantly. It's also a great game for modding, you can add in realism when you feel comfortable with the game, or add-in an autopilot that can help you plan and execute maneuvers.

My laptop screen broke so I bought a replacement. The replacement was defective but in a way that was only apparent after the eBay seller's return window closed. I grudgingly bought another in a hurry. It's for the 11" model not the 13" model I have.
My new apartment is forcing me to move in a day after my old lease expires and they are apparently 100% inflexible on this, leaving me with a 24 hour gap where all my shit has nowhere to go and neither do I. They told me this after I signed the lease.
My car's check engine light came on gotta make that appointment. Also it needs new brakes and shit that I've been ignoring.
My parents are mad because I drove 2 hours to go hiking after I turned down visiting them for the second weekend in a row on the excuse that I didn't want to drive.
I am torn 50/50 on returning the laptop screen, the sorting the rest out or just smashing it to pieces with a hammer, stripping nude, and running away to central america.

Why would Nomex be preferable?
handles higher temperatures.
is the rope actually consumed by the fire?
I assume they are using the Kevlar/Fiberglass hybrid ropes. Probably not as heat resistant as Nomex but probably cheaper.

What color is the check engine light?
Orange usually means "hey something is not quite right, I'm not sure what it is, hmm, might just be loose gasket or sensor or something."
Red usually means "HOLY FUCK STOP DRIVING RIGHT THE FUCK NOW"

CK's performance personality helps him get away with a lot, too.
Like he goes through a joke like he's going through a midlife crisis.
So the framing of a lot of his "oh god did he really say that" jokes are about how fucked up he is, about laughing at him, not laughing at whoever the joke is theoretically aimed at.

Ah. No, it's my understanding that the heads wear out over the course of 100-200 uses due mostly to abrasion and whatnot. Naptha doesn't burn all that hot, which is why it's used for fire performing to begin with.

You can get pretty far by stealing from others too
You really, really can't.
No, you can. Literally every single creator owes a massive debt to people that inspired them. If you look at their early work you will absolutely find a good amount of it cribbed (intentionally and unintentionally) from people before them. Very, very few people arrive as this totally original genius.

My timing is pretty terrible at this.
Joke with punchline "You're scared I have to walk back alone."
The response. "I was molested by my uncle you asshole."
Joke with punchline "after the second week the guys were so ashamed we buried her."
The response. "That is fucked up, I can't date you any more."
I need to stick with jokes about dicks and masturbation.
