When I went back in time to kill Gerald it resulted in the Hitler timeline. I haven't done any time traveling since. In retrospect I should have just let Gerald do his thing, it wasn't even that bad. Nobody knows who he even is now.

I've seen people argue that the joke is that both parents are so horrible that neither of them want to actually deal with him, but it doesn't work because she fought to keep him in the divorce to keep using him as a shield every time anyone (rightly) attacks her on her opinions or past actions.

In retrospect I should have just let Gerald do his thing, it wasn't even that bad. Nobody knows who he even is now. There was that Star Trek original series episode where Kirk, Spock and McCoy have gone back in time and Joan Collins' character is running a doss house and doing very admirable things, in effect a Joany Croblyn type. The old letch Kirk falls in love with her and she is about to get run over by a horse and cart and obviously he wants to save her but Spock and McCoy prevent him because Spock has seen the future time line where she survives and fascists take over American. Or something like that. Anyway, it's bad (the future, not the episode) if Kirk had saved her.

Let's be real, If there's a far future documentary about the early 21st century revival of fascism, it isn't gonna be about Lowtax's last girlfriend making a glorified online quiz or even a failed dynasty of the American empire, it'll be about how fascism was only ever given token opposition because it wasn't English speakers doing it.

Like I could understand if he was one of these Wee Wee Free Free First Presbycostal Church of Jesus Christ What a Pack of Arseholes fundamentalists of a mumsnetter whose dickhead husband stopped seeing her as a real person after having a kid, they still have to own and deal with their bigotry, but they might need help getting away from their community understanding of things to even understand the framework for understanding why they're wrong, but he just sounds like a parody of r/atheism posters who substituted any honest curiosity for smug long ago. Maybe that's his one joke. https://twitter.com/darren_cullen/status/1529147335116312577

Then he goes on to say it's all parody and you shouldn't get offended etc... etc... But in the show all his trans jokes are based around anti-trans talking points. So I wonder how many anti-trans jokes do you have to say before you go past the point of parody/irony and are just anti-trans? or anti-gay or racist? He also tells anti-religious jokes, does that mean he is actually religious and a supporter of people's religion? Because he seems to just shrug at any criticism and say "it's all parody." Also I have never, never heard another comedian laugh at their own jokes as much as Gervais. Nobody finds Ricky Gervais funnier than Ricky Gervais. Sometimes I think the only reason people laugh is because he's laughing and it's kind of infectious. bessantj fucked around with this message at 15:56 on May 25, 2022 |

If Churchill had stopped drinking he would have instantly collapsed into a gibbering mess from withdrawal, but the war itself probably would have just carried on. He would have just bought some of Tommy Shelby's Gin anyway.

BalloonFish posted:Bringing those two thoughts together - I spent a lot of my childhood (not at all wasted, I promise) playing Railroad Tycoon II, which had - for the time - quite a sophisticated in-game model of capitalism with investors, shareholders, dividends, bonds, etc. etc. One of my perpetual frustration was that your virtual shareholders always wanted More Growth, All The Time. You could stitch together a perfectly sized, sustainable rail network monopolising the Midwest, carrying grain and cattle into Chicago and processed food and manufactured goods back out, with no effective competitors and a steady 5% dividend every year and if you just kept things ticking along like that your shareholders would eventually get angry and overthrow you - GAME OVER. So you'd always end up getting pushed into doing something stupid and unsustainable like building a transcontinental railroad over the Rockies or expanding into an area that an equally-powerful and rich competing company already had sewn up, ensuring that you would never be able to attract profitable traffic. When your grand new route to some backwater swamp on the west coat opened the share price would soar (Growth! Change! Potential! New Route Mileage! Shiny New Trains!) and then after a few years when it turned out to be a huge loss-making boondoggle and your railroad was now running at a loss, the stock price would crash and you'd get turned on by the shareholders - GAME OVER. Haha I fondly remember that, and yeah props to them for slipping that whole message in there! bessantj posted:I recently watched his new special and it's really strange because at the start he says some jokes that are based around anti-trans talking points.

He doesn't know what words like 'parody' and 'satire' mean, even if it was okay to use those to punch down - all he knows is that words like that are magic ones that get other people to defend his right to say whatever heinous poo poo he wants to.
