    *weeps hysterically*

    This is the saddest post. Because you're now stuck with staring at your uncreative name for years because your aunt's laptop and all the other devices use it to connect and any changes will be sort of an ill-timed ordeal.

    There is no shame in repeating a good joke


    Or a bad joke, but like a good bad joke

    So long as you don't try and pass it off as your joke.

    I feel like there is a huge difference between regular human interaction and being a standup comedian here.

    I dunno, I think it's pretty cringe-y when people try to use other people's work without accreditation in real life.

    You'd look down on someone using uncredited quotes to make them seem more intelligent, I don't see why jokes should be different?

    Look guys can we just all agree that the ultimate form of gender is the nongender of beings made of pure energy.

    It is my ultimate aspiration to one day be transformed into a state of energy that exists in a dimension higher than our current four dimensional lives.

    you know, rayon being referred to as "he" might have been the point

    Bullshit. If they just used he in the movie, you might have a point. But they also only used he as a description of the character outside the movie.

    This. This is you applying your own lens and opinion on the character to your own place and therefore judging more harshly.

    The reason everyone in the film referred to Rayon as a he, and out of the film referred to Rayon as a he, could just as simply be because Rayon was a gay man who liked women's clothing and did not think or feel himself as being a woman.

    I have not seen a single description of the character from a single person tied to the movie as anything other than a trans women.

    I did not know this movie existed until about 5 minutes ago, and it took about a minute of googling to find interviews with Jared Leto where he explicitly states that he played Rayon as a transwoman.

    gooey the new cat my uncle got? diablo? the one i really liked? :(

    he hasn't been seen in two days. we live in a row home and i don't think he is really outside-equipped. p sure he's gone forever. bummed out.

    sucks bro :[

    i will say cats can be weird

    my roommate brought his parents' cat to our apt for a couple days once and we thought it escaped, checked every conceivable place it could be. it was a tiny apartment and there weren't any real hiding spaces, it was nowhere to be found. i'm pretty sure he blamed me and was really pissed about it

    a couple days later it just strolled into the living room like it weren't no thang

    Aw. No more Leverage.

    The show so completely jumped the shark at the end of the third season anyway.

    I hate this phrase so much

    It's like fingernails on a pretentious chalkboard

    I mean it totally applies to Leverage

    But that phrase, just, man, eugh

    The phrase has literal roots, though.

    Oh absolutely

    But overuse and misuse of it by idiots on the internet turned it into something I reflexively cringe at even when it actually is applicable

    i stayed up too late drinking with you. i woke up today (having slept through my alarm) at 2:39. have to be in work at 3:00 for a three hour deli-training module. i sprint around the house to yakety sax, roll into work at 3:01. i figure yeah i'm sick as hell, nose running, hungover- but this is just a computer based training thing, right? no big deal. i don't feel guilty about getting people sick, because i ain't working with food.

    i look across the store. cue six coworkers huddled around the district manager who is making a sandwich. this is very much a hands-on training thing!

    my manager takes one look at me, says "jesus christ dude you don't look good, go home! you can't be around food!"

    i waddle back home

    If you retell a whole long-form "priest walks into a bar" traditional joke-joke, no one is gonna ask where you got it and no one is gonna assume you made it up, so claiming you made it up is dorky, citing it is dorky. No one cares.

    If you retell a funny first person story stolen from a comedian, that's just weird as heck, who does that? That's just regular lying.

    If you steal a fragment of a joke like "sadness bowls" or just the kernel, some turn of phrase, some observation that makes a joke work and put it in regular conversation, I feel like that's totally fine! A cite would ruin it, no one will ask if it was stolen, you're not doing standup so no one is gonna call you a derivative hack, it's just absorbing a funny idea and reusing it in a slightly different context.

    no

    but also not always the best to include it either and I don't give a single wet shit about accreditation for accreditation's sake

    exactly the same with quotes - I can say, mark twain said, if there's a point to pointing out that mark twain said it, or I can just come with the quote

    like quotation marks in text it is easy to speak in a way that indicates that you are quoting, without noting who you're quoting, because that might not be interesting


    and where you heard the joke is usually not especially interesting
