i dont like it when comedians put punchlines before basic ethics.
i try to be a good person before i try to be a funny person, and while its morally rewarding and more ethically sound, its WAY more difficult because you actually have to evolve as you learn more.
when i see someone saying shit like “theres no place for political correctness in comedy!” all i see is “comedy is hard!!!!! stop trying to make it harder!!!!!! its not fair!!!!!!!!!!”
and its not even a matter of edginess. you can be edgy in comedy without being downright toxic. when the joke is that its offensive for offensiveness sake, its no longer clever and you are no longer funny.
op literally became ridiculously attracted to himself after his friend drew a portrait of him and then proceeded to become immortalised through the painting, leading a life of hedonism, murder and debauchery but go off i guess
Okay but how is this our problem? What’s the context?
Thank you, like what does this have to do with me? I’m supposed to be considerate of what here, a lack of socialization?
You’re supposed to be aware that some people were raised to be tolerated and that transfers into their adult life. Always being alone as a child doesn’t help you grow into a social adult. It leads you to be friends with people you believe are your friends but are only tolerating you. It leads you to believe that the people who love you and are around you are only tolerating you because you’re around. It feels scary to ask people for anything because you’re afraid they’ll give you what you want only to get you away from them. It makes you feel unlovable, unsocial, and intolerable to the people you love and should know, love you.
This is also something that tends to happen to children of resentment; kids who were born to parents who had kids because they were expected to, or any other reason besides wanting kids unconditionally.
It’s a very lonely, loveless childhood. It’s a childhood full of you trying to tell your parents about problems and they brush you off, or wanting to talk about something you like and you get “thats nice honey but could you -insert excuse to get you away from them-”
You constantly second guess peoples motives. You don’t believe anyone could genuinely want to help you. You see yourself as a bother. You don’t trust people when they do nice things for you because you think theyre just trying to placate you and make you go away. Everyone is only doing nice things for you to be polite, not because theyre a nice person or they care about you.
And usually this kind of childhood is accompanied by emotional abuse. Your parents tolerate you, but they would really rather you not be around. And kids aren’t stupid. They know. And it hurts them. It hurt me so much.
You grow up believing no one would ever actually love you.
Some people really just don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves to the point that they get offended when you ask them to be aware that many individuals had shitty childhoods.
So!!! I owe my school 600+ dollars currently because I had to move out of my previous living situation into a new dorm on campus for some personal reasons (friend’s passing, mental health, ect.). My financial aid covers most of my school-related expenses, thank goodness, but I’m writing this post to ask for just a little help to take the edge off since I haven’t been working all this break.
I will start working again once I get back to my school in Atlanta and I plan on trying to get on a payment plan in order to pay off this bill. My goal, however, is to raise anywhere from $200-$300, since I only work about 15 hours a week at minimum wage normally and I have other expenses not related to school I also have to be mindful of. Any little bit helps and thanks for even reading this. I appreciate it.
yah i know thanks for the reminder anyway i have a nearly 300 dollar overdraft and i my bank ate all the money from my paycheck so if anyone wants to help a disabled black person not lose his job it’d be stellar
happy new year! i got kicked out a month ago by abusive homophobic parents and i still need money for groceries, transitioning, and just staying alive until i find a job! so like…. help me please lol
hey so guess which idiot might actually have more mental illnesses he needs to get tested for? me! and guess which job sites wont call me back despite me having so many applications out? everyone!
