Keeping it means it’s perpetually dark an hour later. Pretty sure most people prefer an extra hour of daylight at 6pm rather than at 5am.

This show is at its apex when it does real world stunts that shows how stupid and evil people really are. Or gags that go further than any reasonable person ever would (Chi-John comes to Mind).

This is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a very long time. There is a very deep, significant difference between “We’ve heard credible information that there may have been some kind of lab related issue, and we are going to look into if there is any truth there” And “The virus came from China! It’s chinas fault you’re all dying! China China China. They will pay for all of your suffering. We need to smack them down. China. China. “ This is the same both sides-ism argument that gets thrown around by people without the ability to critically think, or that are purposely arguing in bad faith due to racism, xenophobia, et al.

sexpig by night posted:'may we see the credible information?' Again, strawman bullshit. Credible information does not equal true information. They’re not announcing the start of a loving war. Then it’s valid to demand details (a la bush/Iraq). But they’re launching an investigation. You don’t put out a bunch of potentially false information, you say you’re verifying and will come back with more info. Learn some god drat critical thinking skills. Not everything is a loving conspiracy.

sexpig by night posted:Jesus that episode was such classic Last Week Tonight, a fairly good deep dive into the history of an issue ending with 'uuuuh vote I guess'. Like, you can't acknowledge how 'frustrating' it is to be told to 'just vote' and also say we need to be like Republicans while completely blowing past the fact that when Republicans vote they actually get what they want. Sorry but you’re wrong. They can’t touch on everything. And spent plenty of time calling out dems for being lovely and not keeping promises. His message was I know voting sucks, I know you hate to hear to keep voting, and that it hasn’t worked well so far, but you loving have to unless you want to be subjugated to a world where birth control is illegal.

sexpig by night posted:we should have voted for democrats to fight this, hosed up those republican bastards control things This is a dumb line of argument and you loving know it. If we had one single additional dem senator, then it would have passed and Republican in all but name Manchin’s vote wouldn’t have mattered. If we had two, kyrsten sinema’s vote wouldn’t matter either. If we had 10 they could have nuked the filibuster. Having a 50-50 split where 2 members vote overwhelmingly with the other side is not being in control, it’s barely hanging out.

Hakkesshu posted:Bit of a weird topic WRT Uvalde when there was the much more pertinent issue of the actual cops at the school doing jack poo poo and possibly even shooting a child, which wasn't even mentioned. But I guess it was a big topic in the news that people wanted more RSOs? They don’t really like to make claims they can’t back up. There’s so much confusion and misinformation from the cops on this topic that the show may be waiting till that shakes down to go ham.

sexpig by night posted:I mean, I'm sure this sounds shitposty but no unless the conclusion is 'and that's why we have a judicial, political, and general moral obligation to completely dismantle the american system of policing and replace it with a better one and no amount of political cowardice will change that' then he's coming up pretty short of the actual takeaway to all that. Like, yea, he criticizes that specific guy's class but doesn't seem interested in explaining why that class even exists at all I feel like you’re watching an entirely different show.

cant cook creole bream posted:Because poor people tend to spent the little money they have, rather than hoarding it, or giving it to other rich people who hoard it. If a poor person can afford an extra loaf of bread the baker earns an additional dollar and can spent that somewhere else. Essentially by the acceleration of the monetary cycle more money gets created. But it more money is around, that in turn has less of a value. It's almost as if you've conveniently forgot that all the previous recessions were kicked off with extreme increases in wealth inequality, and IIRC it's income equality is at the worst it's ever been. https://www.epi.org/blog/fighting-i...ealth%20ladder. But yes, lets throw more money to the ghouls so they can sit on it and gain 1-2% less on investments while everyone else suffers. sexpig by night posted:glad John decided to simultaneously explain why cases are massively undercounted and hard to nail down while also spreading the completely unfounded 'well maybe the queers should stop loving so much' talking point and downplaying the surface and air particulate spread factor. Really rich for him to tut-tut at the right wingers jumping hard on it to do poo poo like spread the 'gay pedophiles' poo poo but also explain it as 'it's mainly affecting men who have sex with men and I guess kinda sorta it can spread other ways' and making sure to say 'it's not homophobic to recognize who's suffering from it' while also saying how impossible it is to loving KNOW who's being affected. Oh well, he got a sick rear end burn on Marjorie Taylor Greene for saying the same thing he was saying about it mainly spreading among gay people. You somehow consistently have the absolute worst takes in this thread. John was 100% explicit that it needs to be talked about that the gay community is at the highest risk, and that bigotry in that regard is unacceptable. In NYC, you must be gay, trans, or bisexual to access the vaccine currently, and it's still incredibly difficult for people in this group to obtain it. This allows resources to flow to the highest risk group, without them having to fight groups that have inherently more privilege, and therefore greater access. This option only exists because NYC is willing to identify them as at risk, without bigotry. John was clear on all of this as his intent. Just because the right is weaponizing it doesn't mean identifying them as at risk is the same. Also, praising a PSA for honestly and truthfully explaining the risks of certain behavior without shame is not even close to saying "stop loving so much." It's allowing people to be informed by someone who has the ability to be representative, and to make an honest risk assessment. Without that PSA, people may legitimately not understand the risks they are taking. It's like you watch the show with the express intent to misunderstand all of the show's points.

Scholtz posted:My guess is The Shape of Water. Passion of the Christ in texas would get them firebombed in Texas, and I think the show is aware of this. It’s going to be something romance or drama related, with a very small chance at a musical. I’d guess a Nicholas sparks movie or sisterhood of the traveling pants or mama Mia.

Condo or apartment? HOAs are a necessary evil, just be careful. Private house? gently caress HOAs thank you very much. Private home HOAs exist so assholes who tut about how other people keep and decorate their houses can actually force those people to confirm to their views. HOAs for private homes are like abortion rights in republican led states. You think you have rights, until suddenly you don’t and you’re just hosed.

cant cook creole bream posted:Yeah, I had one those kind of Fermi questions in basically every application process. Honestly, I’d guess it was a creative decision due to lack of content. Their writers room has been proven quite smart and well researched, and I imagine they were fully aware of why those questions are asked. With such little public, verifiable (this is important) information on McKenzie, they probably had been far enough along in the episode progress where they couldn’t not make the episode before they ran outta jokes that fit the tone of the show and needed to fill time or funny bits. I’d also assume McKenzie is extremely sue-happy over non-public information, because whenever John brings out the “my lawyers told me” line that’s usually the reason. Combo of that, plus minimal public information and people unlikely to go on record in Court over private information gives them a lot of stuff they probably had to cut.

Jerusalem posted:I knew student loans in America in particular were bad, but holy poo poo My mother in law was one of those people. She had applied twice and been denied (parent plus loan too). After a lot of work, I convinced her to apply again once Biden announced the new changes, and it was accepted and zeroed out. Like $50k of loans gone in a flash. It was exactly as they described on the show. Paying for over 10 years, never missed a payment, the balance had only gone down $2000 despite a ~$500 monthly.
