I wonder if these guys realize they only ever manage a rough approximation of humor instead of anything actually funny. It's a little heartening to imagine that they realize they're not actually witty enough to be legitimately funny, and the only people "laughing" at their jokes are those with something to gain from sucking up.

I usually doubt the introspection goes deep enough, but sometimes you get Elon vs Hard Drive or dril and there's that little glimmer of hope that he realizes how truly embarrassingly lame he is. He wants to be the king poster but neither he nor anyone in his circle is able to be funny, and anyone who is genuinely witty won't go near his emerald Boer rear end.

I am very all over the place when it comes to comedy and humor but i think the problem with elon is that he has much worse version of justin roilands problem. he puts way way to much into a bit/joke in hopes to get a laugh and when/if it flops he keeps trying to make you laugh at that one joke and then you get desperate. elon reeks of desperation, when you want to be funny, you lay down a joke and keep going to the next, if it lands cool, if it doesnt, sucks.
dril and harddrive and chapo and bill burr or brandon rodgers or whoever you find funny follow this.

Honestly I feel like you're overthinking it and Elon really is just a mush-brained moron who doesn't understand humor or subtlety in general. These are very stupid people and even slightly abstract concepts are lost on them.

Fascists are reliably stupid people. That's why they're fascists.

Seriously. I'm 40 and I feel like I'm going full boomer with all of the enshittification of everything. My Forester is 10 years old and has 65,000 miles on it and so far I plan on keeping it until I just can't anymore.

I have a 10 year old Rogue with almost 150k on it. One of the door sensors is jacked up so it beeps sometimes and it has 3 kids and 3 dogs worth of stains and wear but I really don’t want to replace it. Not only would I pay 2-3x what I paid for it for a new crossover but they all just feel worse. My rogue has the exact right amount of electronic sensors and displays: back-up cam, digital tire pressure and engine sensors, and bluetooth. Everything is controlled with knobs, buttons, and stalks.

New Rogue are still like 90% buttons and knobs which is great but we need slightly more space in a new car and everything I’ve looked at that’s larger is enshittified everywhere. My biggest complaint in most cars I’ve tried is shifting gears is a button, slider, or digital. I want a something physical that I can shift between Drive and Reverse. All the variations of buttons just feel like absolute poo poo.

I don't want to derail but look at an Outback.

It's slightly larger, the important bits have actual buttons and the price is actually fair for what it is. Plus, wagons are cool as gently caress.

Humour thrives the most and lands the hardest when it is founded in reality, relatable to many, subversive and punches up instead of down

Techbros and billionaires are both utterly detached from reality and the struggles of the common man and indeed in rich people's cases their ability to be funny is blunted by being surrounded by sycophants who will seal clap at any attempt no matter how weak or crude. In a world of zero hardships the very existence of the lower class and their pathetic lives are the highest form of comedy and the grandest entertainment they can enjoy

Nah, CHUD's don't think like that. One message has gotten through to them: Nazis are Bad Guys. They've watched enough movies and learned that Nazis are Bad Guys.

But they know that they are Good Guys. It doesn't matter that they share views with Nazis. It doesn't matter that they're racist. Nothing matters, because nothing will change their view of themselves as the Good Guy.

These morons watch this movie, see a skinhead with a swastika on his chest curb stomping black people, and they go "Wow! That's a Bad Guy and an ACTUAL racist! Not like ME, a GOOD GUY." and that's the end of what they think of it. It's actually a perfect illustration - they whine that everything gets called racist, because they think as long as they aren't curb stomping black people and throwing a Hitler salute after, nothing they can do should ever be portrayed as bad or racist.

You are way overthinking this. It's exactly as Elviscat said; they're terrible at interpreting media. Check out the conservative interpretation of movies like Robocop and Starship Troopers. They take everything at face value and have zero understanding of subtext. They even mock people for saying that subtext even exists.

Oh, what a day! WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!

The disc repeatedly skipped to the point that it became completely unwatchable halfway through, ruining my movie night. After further research, I discovered that the PS5 is well known to be a terrible 4K disc player notorious for making quite a few discs skip. So not only was my movie night ruined, I also ended up shelling out for an actually good player. I blame all of this squarely on you. :mad:

Yes, they are also stupid and bad at media. But the context we're talking about here is American History X, which is not subtle in any way shape or form. It's a literal skinhead running around stomping black people who turns his life around. They're able to watch and enjoy this because by not being literal skinheads stomping black people, they are not Bad Guys and they can pat themselves on the back for their restraint.

The definition compared to views is views is how much someone interacts with some content as in like, you watch an entire ad, you click play on a movie movie clip, look on the replies to see the replies to a thread. Basically you engaging in some way with content once it's on your screen. Impressions is it appearing on your screen at all for X amount of time. Like if you an ad comes up on YouTube and you immediately skip it, it's not a view, but it's an impression because YouTube made you watch the first five seconds (the time to make it an "impression" and not just a view varies from site to site/where the ads are coming from/whatever, i.e,. they make it up).

It's why it's used very often for Twitter because basically, like, did you scroll down past several posts that had a lot of replies for 50 seconds and then close the app? That's like 2,000 impressions baby!!!

It makes X even sadder because the numbers they post are never particularly great, and you know those are already bullshitted and bot-influenced.
