I think I will actually have the dollah to do the secret Santa this year.
Likewise, though asking people to ship stuff to Japan for me seems a little mean.
Generally you can specify if you are OK with International shipping. I usually say I'm fine with European shipping, for you it might be worth lumping you in with the Aus/NZ forumers (I imagine that shipping from there to Japan and vice versa is not as expensive as intercontinental shipping but I'm not actually sure).
Twitter is actually a useful service now, it seems. I resubbed a month a go and now it seems like people actually use it to post interesting or funny stuff, unlike in 2007
So this seems to be the time of day all the ethnic churches finish up in this neighborhood. I feel suitably bereft of god and community as a consequence

The only allowable humour is inoffensive to every possible group or individual
Knock knock jokes are out, they ostracise the deaf
"A such-and-such walks into a bar" jokes offend alcoholics, recovering alcoholics, and the families/loved ones of those groups
any animal joke is offensive to otherkin
Let's just sit quietly and contemplate the world we live in
casual, lazy "women get back in the kitchen" jokes are both not funny and a hindrance to actually eliminating the idea that women should only have domestic positions
It's mildly funny because the comic becomes completely different by removing one small object. The fact that it turns the comic from a weak character joke to a weak sexist joke does not even matter for as far as I am concerned.
And honestly, it not even all that funny no matter how you look at it.

What about observational humour about signs? I just saw one that had at best an ambiguous message about either the extent of their hair removal prowess or a current sale. Up to 70% off most areas!

Yeah, it's not actually all that funny either way. I just liked how it could be changed so much by the removal of something small.

it's easy for you guys to shrug off these kinds of jokes because their equivalents, jokes about straight people, whites, males, etc. don't have the same weight
they aren't reinforcing an ongoing history of oppression
if you're gay or black or trans or whatever, jokes that mock you in that way carry additional weight
they support and are supported by the more serious, more egregious kinds of oppression

Things like jigsaws with no picture, just a repeating geometric pattern, and the like.
Hooooly crap my muscles are protesting though.
We would need a trial and someone would to volunteer to call him randomly as a point of comparison.

No offence bro, but I don't see that you've razed enough villages to know that. You certainly are no Genghis Khan
Huh.
this is gross
ironic sexism is still sexism, tav

making lightsaber noises are what glow in the dark condoms are for
