Kyuuji still butthurt about transphobic comedians bill bull and Dave chappelle:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/james-acaster-on-certain-challenging-comedians.394813/

Having just watched two Bill Burr comedy sets last weekend, I dont find this James Acaster dude funny at all. Well based on this small clip anyway.

I've seen him be funny before, but that's a weak-ass bit. especially compared to the "one joke" bit that got ricky Gervais shitlisted in the first place, which was a solid joke.

Not for nothing but the rees just had a summit because of all the racism and bigotry asians deal with on there.

"Well, the original idea was drawing her naked, wearing just the non-sensical high-heels and gloves, but someone said something about 'but then it's just heroes regular costumes painted skin color! That's would be too lazy!'"

And someone tell these guys that storm clouds are not really black. Or maybe she has smoke powers now? It's a long time since I've followed comics.

I straight up want most of these to be permanent.

I wasn't really doing DBZ power rankings on comedians as much as just pointing out that it was literally that golden globes joke that got Ricky Gervais TransCancelled to the point that people are praising a not very funny James Acaster bit like its Who's On First.

Also, unspoken in that thread, is all the people fawning over what a hilarious and great comedian he is are literally one anecdote about a clumsy date away from being the first people denouncing him as a piece of shit that they always found creepy and unfunny, c.f. Aziz Ansari

I will never understand the adult obsession with Disney parks but maybe I’m just a grouch. I can’t imagine standing in line with a mask on in the hot sun to ride something I’ve been on hundreds of times.

Most adults who go to the parks now the tips and tricks on how to not end up waiting in long lines. I go to Disney about 7-8 times a month and I never wait more than 20-30 minutes for anything. Usually I go, have a few drinks and a snack, go on a ride or two and leave. In and out in a few hours.

WTF that is twice a week 

[Don Rumata]

I've never been to any amusement park, aside from those nomad luna park ones, when i was little.
A buddy of mine went to Disneyland Paris once, and i was seething (i was always the poor kid in the group, so i was seething often), but then never got the appeal, past that age (10y old or so).

The only reason i could see someone older than 10 or 12 going, is if you're a teenager bringing their date there or an adult bring their kids.

Not even trying to shame now, just genuinely don't understand what's enjoyable about Mickey Mouse and shit as an adult.
Rollercoasters and Ferris Wheels, fair enough, but you don't need to go to DW for those.

I enjoy the attention to detail and workmanship. Like how everything is custom-designed, and the clever tricks like forced perspective. Kind of the same reason why I have no interest in Harry Potter but loved the studio tour. Most theme parks I go to are fairly utilitarian rollercoaster parks where they'll throw up some steel fencing and call it a day.

But I'm averaging a Disney park every 20 years at this point. Can't imagine doing it multiple times a week.

We went to Disneyland Paris for New Year 2019 and came back with severe flu symptoms, so there's a non-zero chance we brought COVID into the country from that petri dish

The Grace Church School in Manhattan, for example, offers a 12-page guide to “inclusive language,” which discourages people from using the word “parents”—“folks” is preferred—or from asking questions like “what religion are you?” (When asked for comment, Rev. Robert M. Pennoyer II, the assistant head of school, replied: “Grace is an Episcopal school. As part of our Episcopal identity, we recognize the dignity and worth common to humanity.” He added that the guide comes “from our desire to promote a sense of belonging for all of our students.”) A Harvard-Westlake English teacher welcomes students back after summer with: “I am a queer white womxn of European descent. I use [ she | her ] pronouns but also feel comfortable using [ they | them ] pronouns.” She attached a “self-care letter” quoting Audre Lorde: “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

The science program at Fieldston would make any parent swoon. The electives for 11th- and 12th-graders, according to the school’s website, include immunology, astronomy, neuroscience, and pharmacology.

But physics looks different these days. “We don’t call them Newton’s laws anymore,” an upperclassman at the school informs me. “We call them the three fundamental laws of physics. They say we need to ‘decenter whiteness,’ and we need to acknowledge that there’s more than just Newton in physics.”

In this worldview, complexity itself is a kind of racism, nuance is a phobia, and skepticism merely a type of false consciousness. Ibram Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist, plainly spelled out the logic on Twitter recently: “The heartbeat of racism is denial. And too often, the more powerful the racism, the more powerful the denial.”

One teacher told me that he was asked to teach an antiracist curriculum that included a “pyramid” of white supremacy. At the top was genocide. At the bottom was “two sides to every story.”

“‘Two sides to every story,’” he said. “That was on the racist pyramid.”

Consider this story, from Chapin, the tony all-girls school on the Upper East Side, involving a white girl in the lower grades who came home one day and told her father: “All people with lighter skin don’t like people with darker skin and are mean to them.” He was horrified as she explained that that was what she had been taught by her teachers. “I said to her: that’s not how we feel in this family.”

At Harvard-Westlake, the school recently administered the debunked implicit-bias test to tenth-graders. It was technically optional, but several parents I spoke with said that their children felt compelled to take it. One mother confided that her son said to her, “Mom, I just found out I’m a racist and I prefer White Europeans.” Her child is mixed race. “For my kid to come home and be told by his school you are a racist—I was aghast. I was so, so angry.”

In Brooklyn, a STEM teacher known to be friendly among skeptical students laughed when he told me the latest absurdity: students told him that their history class had a unit on Beyoncé, and they felt compelled to say that they loved her music, even if they did not. “I thought: they aren’t even entitled to their own musical preferences,” he said. “What does it mean when you can’t even tell the truth about how music affects you?”

“Which brings me to something else I should make clear: In no way am I suggesting that adults who enjoy Disney World with the same passion as their children are vapid dickwits. I’m stating for a fact and putting it into the record that they are vapid dickwits. I saw grown men—fathers—wearing Winnie the Pooh T-shirts and having their pictures taken with genies and giant ducks. The expression “Finding your inner child” is just that—an expression. You’re not literally supposed to act on it, especially in front of your kids, who see you as their protector.”

Hah, yeah mods are where people go wild. But as someone who've been modding for decades, I noticed something lately as I replay Dragon Age Origins. People are starting to make good mods too. Like these ones for example, which wouldn't be a thing in the last decade because everyone would make female characters sexier, not the opposite.

It's more comforting to some people that every act be part of a larger plan, in this case "white supremacist domestic terror" than it possibly be near random violence. If the guy was targeting a specific person, hence the visits to multiple locations, and simply shooting whoever he found, that's scary because nobody can plan for and stop that. But if he's doing it to further a white supremacist goal, that's theoretically stoppable in a panopticon society like ResetERA.com favors because he would have been under surveillance.

Yeah, exactly. Media is leaning into his "sex addiction," but it justifies nothing. Committing murder because of misogyny is still a hate crime. Moreover, this is doubly insulting because of its implicit fetishizing of Asian women (because if your mind immediately jumps to sex when you think of Asian women, fuck you).

WHAT THE FUCK THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY?

The problem here is that you're already having to qualify the horrible racism going around the world with "well, the CCP is evil, but..." It doesn't actually help the conversation, and you're greatly mistaken if you think discussion on ERA successfully delineates between Chinese people and their government. So many threads based on kneejerk headlines and news immediately turn into "fuck the CCP" when China or Chinese people are involved, only for it to turn out there's no connection.

There is undeniably a culture on ERA and other liberal circles where people feel they must always bring up tenuous at best connections to the CCP to criticize them. It's essentially Cold War 2.0. If it's like that here, it's way worse in right-wing circles. And those people don't care about the victims of the CCP, you can bet on that..

“There is no connection, no sir, CCP has nothing to do”.

[HaughtyFrank]

So many threads based on kneejerk headlines and news immediately turn into "fuck the CCP" when China or Chinese people are involved, only for it to turn out there's no connection.

How does that work? If it's involving China wouldn't one or the other have to be connected to it?

Anyway, if some gets mad about "fuck CCP" they're rather suspect

[benjipwns]

Yeah, exactly. Media is leaning into his "sex addiction," but it justifies nothing. Committing murder because of misogyny is still a hate crime. Moreover, this is doubly insulting because of its implicit fetishizing of Asian women (because if your mind immediately jumps to sex when you think of Asian women, fuck you).

The part that you didn't bold actually is what gets me. MULTIPLE MURDERS, and being charged for the MURDERS isn't good enough, even though that's life in prison and in some cases still the death penalty. No, we need to focus on the HATE CRIME that may underlie the MULTIPLE MURDERS.
