That feels like a way comedians might try and also get cheap laughs While also using lazy material, too, yes.

I now want to see an edgy comedian in LA to see if there's a reverse version regarding the South. Like a "This joke was too woke for Texas but you guys get me" just to see if it's equally lame

3 DONG HORSE posted:I went to a comedy show in Austin and half the comedians made at least one "tried this joke in LA/NY and the crowd was mortified" and I'm thinking, no, saying "fag" over and over as a comma doesn't make a joke funny. The Rogan impact on comedy on this town - more rooms and money for comedians, more Theo Vaughn and “I’m just sayin…” comedians.

whenever I hear "edgy comedian" I think never funny but tries to shock people. Being on SA for this long has made me almost immune to shock, so it just comes off as lame and terrible.

The one guy with a successful trans joke was arguing that trans porn was superior to all straight and gay porn because it's like a highlight reel / the best of version of porn. I thought it was funny at least.

Corporate card so I don't pay poo poo for anything but it's also part of my job description (which, iirc, was "25% or more" and they're really using that "or more"). It's also busy season. But thankfully I can see the light. Winter is always a chill time. I would definitely ask for extra money and a company card at minimum, especially since it's not part of your job description. A good one that lets you stay in a lounge during long stays at the airport. Good news is one of the VPs that I work closely with is pushing them to pay me more commissions - though I had a small raise to my base salary recently so I'm not sure how successful he will be. Apparently he told them that he got word that I am being poached I'm not Kurgarra Queen posted:You absolutely *can* make hilarious jokes about trans people, it's just most comedians willing to touch the subject are only interested in cracking endless variations of the same old offensive tropes and then whining about how they're being "canceled". Yep, that was the vibe I got. I thought the best comedians out of the 12ish I saw were the ones who didn't try super hard to be edgy but slipped in something offensive every once in a while. Funny how that works out! 3 DONG HORSE fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Oct 7, 2023 |

I’m definitely getting all expenses paid. I’m actually ok paying for it myself because then I get all the CC points and frequent flyer miles. I’ll probably ask for an extra $75/day when I’m on the road. I moved to Cleveland for work in 2014 and they gave me $100/day, but that was to cover all my regular expenses plus a bonus for traveling. This time my expenses are reimbursed, so the $75 is just a bonus for being willing to travel.

I hate expensing stuff because our accounting "department" is a solo act who works impossibly slow. But if you can expense all that and get along fine with possible reimbursement delays then more power to you!

I remember seeing one comedian making the point (concerning Dave Chappelle) that no Dave, you absolutely can joke about trans people, you just have to make sure you're trying to be funny first. For example, he was jealous of trans men, because they get to be men, but also get to have pretty feet.

When I saw David Cross, his opening act (whos name escapes me) had a bit where he was in a bar, saw an amazing rear end from someone ordering at the bar. So he went up and talked to them, turned out to be a trans person, and they became friends and the punchline was he got a new friend, saw a hot piece of rear end and became a trans ally all at once. Probably the only decent joke I've heard not at the expense of trans folks.

We've seen the same video then I think (I think it was a video comparing good comedians to something like Gutfeld) because this was the first joke that came to mind. The concept of punching up vs punching down explains so much about good/bad comedy.

Heard today I put in my two weeks notice. Only I didn’t. Traced the rumor back to a supervisor and asked her directly. She blew up about “high school stuff” and was super condescending. A hit dog, as always, hollers.

Yeah said she was “too old for high school stuff” but the person who told me is dead reliable and I trust them. It’s a pretty tepid rumor and I don’t even care at all but I’m definitely going to ask about it. She also went off about getting a text off duty which is funny because we all text each other off duty, it’s work related and she’s a supervisor. Also I’ve known her for a decade. Reacted heavily like someone who got caught.

e: ^^^^ is it because the writing is on the wall with you in school and she's probably pissed someone else is actually taking a risk that seems to be paying off? My dad broke his hip probably five weeks ago now. Shortly before it my brother had expressed an interest in finding a game we could play online to aid with how terrible both of us are at both reaching out to and replying to each other. My dad used to be huge into games, but his PC is from about 2015. My brother loved the NES and has basically dropped off since then. I figured it would be cool to combine the two and have all three of us try to play something, so we tried Minecraft only to find out dad and I have incompatible versions and my brother doesn't have anything capable of playing it. On the upside they were able to get into a Discord voice chat with effectively zero problems considering how much the three of us who play games regularly struggle with random audio issues. Fast forward a week, and my 67 year old father let us know he has purchased an Xbox Series S, something I would not have put money on with 1000 to 1 odds even two months ago. I sent him an email effortpost with background info and links to how he could game the system to get Game Pass Ultimate, which is $17 a month, for $5.80. What in the hell is even happening. double e: I forgot the highlight of my dad's email about my brother considering the Xbox BJOT Sr. posted:He is hoping for a multiplayer game similar to something he says he's watched you play.

I honestly have no idea and I was super shocked to hear it came from her. I don’t think she even knows I’m in school. It seems more likely to me that she miscommunicated something but the extreme defensiveness seems suspicious? I don’t know it’s all very weird. I was direct and polite and she got very prickly about it right off the rip. So after I was like “hey, it’s not unreasonable to ask someone about this” and she went off about work boundaries I just blocked her number. I’d think a “no, must be a misunderstanding” would be the response if there was nothing to it.

Baseball is good when the Rangers win and bad when they don’t. There was a pretty good bit in Curb Your Enthusiasm a while back where a trans man had gotten a comically large dick and kept accidentally knocking stuff off of counters with it because he wasn’t used to it yet.
