TED talks seemed cool to begin with but pretty soon it was revealed they were just looking for new people to give talks and would accept just about anyone.

I said neither that it was terrorism, or that it was Russian. Just a bit of extrapolation.

Also "toy drone" does not absolve anyone, not the perpetrators, not the security people who failed to account for this possibility.

So, are you disagreeing with that? The idea that a hostile foreign agent might be able to shut down an airport with drones? It is irrelevant whether that was the case now.

Yes, because only a retard would think a hostile foreign agent would try to shut down an airport.

If it's a nazis then the hero status is revoked but lesson remains the same

here's one to get us away from politics: canned vegetables taste better than fresh veggies

I refuse to believe anyone who has eaten a canned green bean and a fresh green bean preferred the canned one. Some vegetables like corn are OK canned, but green bean especially needs to be fresh. Canned ones just give me flashbacks to elementary school cafeteria food.

Somewhat related: baby corns are terrible. Even worse than olives. Nothing disappoints me more than seeing a dish that looks really good but then finding those little bastards totally ruining it.

But yes. He will absolutely destroy your Youtube recs and don't read the comments on any of his videos or you will lose faith in humanity, because most of his fans are mega chuds.

Red Letter Media is bad and their videos are incredible awkward to watch. Their videos are way too long too.

Every time I see one linked or someone recommends one to me, I give it an attempt and usually end up giving up. I've tried but I really just can't see why people like their stuff.

I like them but I agree their videos are way too long. 40+ minute watches are reserved for actual shows or movies. I really don't want internet talking heads to take up more than 10-15 minutes of my time.

It's funny because if you actually pay attention to him he absolutely despises the alt right and Reddit MRAs. I've been listening to his pod casts randomly and occasionally he'll be all like "why are these pricks using me to push their bullshit?"

It's easy to edit out a 30 second segment where he says he wants to punch a woman and ignore the part where he says of course that's wrong and that his anger is probably coming from a different place and not women.

I agree. There is definitely a line where the stupid stuff stops being funny, but Bill rarely (if ever) crosses it. I feel like the people who spend his whole act cringing shaking their heads have forgotten that comedians do "bits", you don't have to take everything he says at face value as if he's giving a lecture instead of doing an act. The MRA/incel crew that cling to him need to remember that too, and also get out of my youtube feed.

no we haven't, it's just that right now while irony is dead, you are what you pretend to be. whether he likes it or not, his brand that he sells - his 'bit' - is appealing to incels, and so is repellent to the rest of us

that means that you unfortunately get to keep their company, and you don't really get to decide how the reflects on you

but my point is that it doesn't matter if the incels like it because they think he's one of them. The only thing that matters in the context of his job is "is it funny", and it is, so I'll laugh at it even though I also hate incels/MRAs.

There is a point where irony goes too far- see incels and other chuds making “ironic” racist jokes and nazi salutes- but I wouldn’t say Bill Burr has crossed it. Especially if he specifically calls them out from time to time.

I have respect for any celebrity that’s willing to call some of their own fans idiots who should stop liking them. Like Rage Against the Machine and Paul Ryan.

Begs the question: did Paul Ryan think 'The Machine' was those dastardly poors and their constantly suffering economic hardships and easily-preventable deaths and violence, or did he think the group was wholly pretending with their professed "political" affiliation?

Most people don’t give a poo poo about lyrics at all and assume the artist they like agrees with them about everything until they make a public statement. He just liked listening to the riff from Bulls on Parade while doing P90X. This is also why many conservatives love Bruce Springsteen and blast Born in the USA on the Fourth of July despite the lyrics explicitly condemning American policies. Chris Christie has seen him 200 times and Bruce thinks he’s an idiot.
