But I mean, stand up comedians! When did they become paragons of virtue instead of sleazy yet lovable trash like Dave Attell? (Who I would believe if you said has never actually done anything non consensual to someone. I get that vibe about him.)

Threads like this legitimately make me sad given the hostility toward health and fitness that dominates GAF.  Everyone in that thread needs to get the hell off of that site, for their own good.

Billy: "alcohol's bad for you man"

Billy: "oh fuck no, i have sex"
Dave: "oh ......what?"

That "scientific facts are social constructs" is mind boggling.
Especially when it's defended by the same type of folks who couldn't stop laughing and raging at Conway's "alternative facts".

People still believing that story about Louie even after the woman who told the story made multiple statements that it wasn't about him, yet no sites retracted the story, and GAF believes him to be a Weinstein level predator.

A person’s response to hat sentence is a social construct.

ie: STEM students get pissy because it sounds like they are being criticized.
but this same subset of people hate postmodernism, they hate abstract art, they hate gender being different from sex, they hate syncretism, they hate multiculturalism.

they are like very intensely threatened by any kind of subjectivity or acknowledgement of bias. it's really weird.

In short, if this dude woke up from his 50 minute nap to snap a picture of one slide without listening to anything after or before it, he's probably gonna fail that class.
Quote
Whoever posted that pic on social media should stop dicking around with their phone in class and listen to what their tutor is trying to teach them.
which the thread seems to be arguing is that everything is a social construct, making the slide a tautology and meaningless drivel that's a waste of time like all lectures

i'm not sure what they're arguing is the goal or alternative of noting this, is anthropology as a field just discovering the role of humans in science?

Jen Kirkman is such a "take no shit" type of women that when she initially made a statement saying he was a perv I believed it 100%.  Upon her clarification I had to reverse that and go to 0%.  In fact, the comedy industry is full of women who would not tolerate that kind of crap.  Heck, Tig Nataro is upset he's not addressing the rumor, not the fact he's done it.

My hot take?  He's a exhibitionist.  Sarah Silverman shares a story in her book about a game they would play.  One person would take off an article of clothing and drop it over the railing in the courtyard of their apartment.  They would continue doing this until they were naked and then they would run down the stairwell to gather their clothes and play the game again.  SS also says that while in line for brunch she said "look down," and when Louie did she shot a tiny amount of pee on to the sidewalk in front of him.  And good lord, the stories of the writing room at her show The Sarah Silverman Program where she talks about all the dicks Chealsea Peritti saw in the writing room.

nsfw https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-Qm3e7CYAAWafQ.jpg:large

I submit there is a gang of exhibitionist that have infiltrated the indie comedy scene.  That man (points), Louie CK is part of it and did indeed masturbate in front of female comedians he was dating or in a sexual relationship with.  This cabal of perverts must be dealt with less they poison the minds of our children.  I rest my case.

the slide* seems to come from a part of the course where it discusses how disasters are generally only considered disasters because they happen where humans are and can be affected by them

i'd like to see at least the lit review supporting such a claim because this whole "anthropology" thing is starting to sound like a social construct to me

Wow, wtf.

That wasn't even the penis pic I was looking for.  I was looking for the one where Peretti left her hair clip behind and one of the producers clips it on his penis and sends her a pic asking if she was missing it.  Silverman features a picture of said message in her book and I she says it's Rob Schrab.    TV director of Parks and Rec and Community.  So Dan Harmon is also culpable.

It's strange I can't find the actual pic.  I'm usually fantastic at finding pictures of penis' online.

It's a community that pushes boundaries and are transgressors by definition. Men and women both do things that would be wholly unprofessional or disgusting in pretty much any other profession.

Of note, the only comedians that come out as rapists/sexual harassers are the ones who try to portray a squeaky clean image (Cosby) and guys that run "progressive" alt comedy rooms and turn out to be fucking creeps who abuse their position as being on the right side of the hill you're dying on.
Sounds like Harvey Weinstein should have taken up comedy.

The fact that he completely lacks any perspective that selecting *that* movie in the context of apologizing for possibly maybe, but definitely, making racist ass comments to an asian person shows how much of a dick this guy is and how he probably lacked the same perspective when he first met Charlyne.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=252472725&postcount=294

David Cross is one of the most "Social Studies Warrior" comedians out there.  The fact that GAFer's insists that he selected the film (not flick) Rashomon to display how memories are different for the sole reason of being anti-asian is amazing.  These are people who clearly never saw the movie and only know it was made by someone with a Japanese sounding name. 

I was using the term Social Studies Warrior ironically to say David Cross attacks even the slightest hints of racism in his comedy.  He has beef with larry the Cable Man calling him PC.   I only point that out because using the phrase Social Studies Warrior unicronically is some ancient evil shit.

A lot of people do judge games' quality by their graphics though.
For the average GAF user, sure.

For the mouth-breather who is shopping at Walmart for fishing bait and diapers and has no idea what frame rate means... it is easier to sell that person a game with "Purdy graffiks" on the screen.

Suggesting his possible memory problems stem from drug use is neither particularly controversial, nor is it an excuse for racism. Please refrain from making up stuff people didn't say. It's a shitty way to have a discussion. Not only didn't I excuse him, I explicitly said I believe Yi and that he said something racist and stupid.

We have altogether too much of this sort of bullshit going on around here, where people seem desperate to play gotcha rather than reading what was actually written. Cut it out.

These idiots don't seem to see the difference between scientific facts themselves and the social or linguistic aspects of scientific facts.
But then again what can you expect from humanities majors and a bunch of philosophy 101 "experts".

Yi's tweets about Cross are so bluntly outrageous (not to say they are not true) it reads like 4chan copypasta. eg:

I saw David Cross at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going "what's a matter? You don't speak English??

Apart from the Mac Pro line their products are not DIY repair friendly down to the engineering (at the very least of the shell), probably in part to funnel casual users back to their repair shops and squeeze them. Honestly I would have second thoughts fiddling with this type of device myself as a casual. But I'm sure there is plenty of tutorials to do so and it's perfectly feasible.
