Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

my take (which I won't defend for days on end) is that he's insulting the memory of his friend; trans people, especially trans women, tend to be suicidal because of things like the constant societal dissmisal of hatred like his as "just jokes"

jokes do not equal hatred

it is possible to love/support someone/something and make jokes about them at the same time

that's great tree, you go and do that

my wife and i make fun of each other pretty often.. it's a great way to break tension

[Ms Harmless]

the FAMILY of his trans friend defended him? lmao cool cool

[Ms Harmless]

I'm out, tree; enjoy yourself and don't say I didn't try to escape this discussion after dropping my opinion

ok

not being able to laugh at yourself (universal "you") is a wayyy bigger problem than people cracking jokes ... laughter is healthy

So glad this thread is back!

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

You gotta post distractions after missteps!

I am ashamed of buying the Musk snake-oil, I'm the first to admit that. We all make mistakes. I'm not trying to hide it.

Sure tree, sure.

I'm agreeing with Tree way too much lately. Need to take a walk and think on this.

They appear to have beaten the guy up pretty good. Chappelle even said he "stomped" him backstage.. weird.. imagining Chris Rock, Chapelle, and Jamie Fox beating up on the guy.. very weird.. wonder if there will be consequences for them too

Dude looks like he got caught on the wrong end of a kimura the way his arm's positioned

[BurtReynolds]

It's pretty dead around here. Anyone want to talk more about this?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I wish that guy had been wearing a NWO shirt.

A joke older than the earth itself.

[Jorge]

Fuck that's lame, holy fuck, shit

[Mickey]

Where in the annals of suburban dad Facebook does one even find something like that.

Someone I hardly know from FL posted it. Made me chuckle. Sorry if it missed the mark.
