Urrgrrrbbll

You’re treating it like a hypothetical but that is in fact exactly what’s going on.

Corporations and the politicians they own are hyperfocused on (relativee to centralised) inefficient end user recycling and regular people taking responsibility for the environment and climate change to distract from the fact that maybe 95%+ of it are the fault of corporations, not their customers.

Even consumer waste is many times worse than it would be if companies didn’t for example use all that plastic and design electronics to become obsolete if functional at all in as little as a single year just to squeeze as much money out while spending as little as possible.

you don’t get to say absolutely anything without consequences

I’ve already made it abundantly clear that I agree with that. Still doesn’t make assault acceptable.

It was a low blow, and he should be ashamed of himself.

True, but so should Will Smith and he is.

Not true on either count.

Assault is neither an expected nor an acceptable consequence of a comedian doing his job, no matter how offensively he might do it.

Chris Rock probably suspected that he might get some flak in the press and maybe boos as a consequence of his mean joke and that would be warranted. Assaulting him wasn’t.

I miss the days when Wikipedia’s “List of Serial Killers” still had this with the addendum “please don’t expand it by killing people”.

Some humorless oaf removed the addendum as “vandalism”, which it by definition wasn’t, and all subsequent attempts to restore it have been quickly reverted 😤

The joke was in poor taste, sure, but that doesn’t justify assault.

Besides, comedians being assaulted for telling jokes is becoming increasingly common and a supposed role model like Will Smith doing it likely normalised it further.

Nope. I’d agree if the joke was about the content or context of the song, but it isn’t.

It’s just a silly joke about the title and has nothing to do with anything else.

Fun fact: what’s known in the US as “Danish pastries” are known in Denmark as wienerbrød (Vienna bread) and it turns out that both terms have some merit:

It was invented in Copenhagen by immigrants from Vienna

You know what’s much less funny after all these years? People insisting on going out of their way to yuck on everybody’s yum.

Unless it’s a British car in another country

Yeah, the angle would seem to indicate that, unless it’s a British car…

Must have been somewhat of a problem for the sport back when you were a child. Especially when you were between the ages of 0 and 3.

That’s CAPTAIN James May Slow to you, Sergeant!

Except there’s still the obvious problem: using the same word for things that are different by a factor of 10 or more. Plus there’s no consensus on the lower boundary of “mega” either.

Much better to be at least a LITTLE precise when you’re talking about the unethical nature of perverse abundance…

Being allowed to age 2 years in 12 years (that’s how long others are estimating to complete the story while cutting out most of the filler like they’ve apparently done so far) is a LUXURY in Hollywood 😛

Pretty sure it was TLC that didn’t want no Scrubs. I thought it was a pretty fun show too 🤷

Well, dammit! It’s bad enough that I used the wrong prefix, but to actually use the wrong prefix that FORBES use? That’s just humiliating! 😬😂

Thanks for letting me know, though 🙂
