I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.

There is no way they went to Turkey. They rich enough to get it done at home.

If you receding or going bald. Minoxidil and finasteride will help slow things down or even help with regrowth if you lucky.

Minoxidil is topical (usually) and finasteride is a pill. You go on fin when you have a hair transplant so if you going down that route you might as well try fin first.

I bet every actor is on fin.

Tell me more about growth hormones

Mate you got some serious, serious problems. And you need to take a step back and look at your life. You have an internet addition if nothing else. You obsess over arguments and have a superiority complex.

You need therapy.

I literally don’t care about Columbus. The guys been dead for a million years. Why should I care about him, out of all the millions of people in the history books you seem to have a hardon for this guy. I don’t. I don’t care. Why him specifically? There are much much more interesting people out there that I just don’t care about Columbus even slightly fuck him and fuck you.

The fuck you is justified because you said this to me

Maybe you’re okay with cutting off the hands of non-white people. Is that it?

You want a reaction out of me so you can block me. If you are going to hide behind your mod powers because thats all you go, and going to make out people are racist because I don’t care about one guy you want to get in an argument about. Then you’re a cunt.

This is the equivalent of describing Hitler as “a guy who helped the German economy.”

What’s the comparison exactly? What did i (not you) say about Columbus that is equivalent to that?

You’re full of shit.

He thought the world was smaller than it is and found the Americas.

I know who he is I just don’t care. There are plenty of people in the history books but I don’t give a shit about Columbus.

Even in terms of explorers he’s a shit one. I’d rather read about someone else.

I don’t know where you got that from. Don’t even know the guy.

Mate your effort levels of shit posting here are unmatched. Kettle black an all that.

I’ll take that as a yes.

If you put that scene up would you cut out the part that involves the funeral?

So you are just circle jerking over the fact that you all share the exact same idea that didn’t need to be said because you all know it. But by announcing it you can all circle jerk over the fact that you all had the same view?

Being a killjoy can be a funny joke.

Having something of noteworthiness just for being woke is meaningless.

Like whats the point? Oh wow Columbus is bad. What insightful, thought provoking idea, no one has ever thought that before. It is so original and so funny. Classic. Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could shake your hand.

No it achieves nothing. It is showing your tribe that you hold a view that is already strongly established in that tribe and everyone congratulates you and themselves for holding a view that everyone holds and announcing it to the world. That’s why its woke, its pointless. It’s not interesting or funny.

Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he’s in hell, are so woke, aren’t they?

“Hitler is in hell.” Omg that’s hilarious. You so wise and witty and funny, what a clever connection you made in a humours way. No, that’s not a joke.

It’s woke because it isn’t a joke. It is some feel good sense woke people can go “Yea!” too and pat each other on the back.

Clearly the *non*-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.

No really no. I guess a non woke joke in this context would be more like “hey I’m dead, I can see me uncle!” “Umm… No he’s in a different place” “no that totally make senses, I can see that”.

It’s not a joke set purely on the premise of circle jerking some social justice statement that people pretend is constructed into a funny joke because people want to feel like they are on the right side. But it does change the pace and direction, which is how a lot of jokes are constructed.

I don’t mind dark jokes and I don’t mind clean jokes. A woke joke isn’t about being funny it’s about commended for having the right view.

But hey, he “discovered America,” am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.

There could be a joke in there but it wouldn’t be a good one.

Just to be clear the additional context someone else added means that joke could have had humour in it.

Any joke is funny once it is explained.

Nevertheless just those two slides do not include what you have described as the funny part of the joke.

Is that woke “humour” I hear about?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You are talking like some stereotypically white knight that knows how the world works and how everyone thinks and fantasies about how things should be. Yet for all this worldly knowledge that no one ever else could possibly comprehend the world doesn’t work out for you.

Some guy was being a dick on public transport, seemingly knowingly, I call him out for that and he stopped. All good.

Love how you can know so much about a situation that you didn’t even see. That’s a real good magic trick. Maybe you should be a detective?

Where I live we don’t have a hand gesture for that. I am curious what it entails?

You put your hand up like a high 5. It is generally seen as a “I fucked up, I know, sorry” it’s pretty common it a lot of cultures. Weird you don’t know this yet you know so so much above everything else

“what the fuck”— a pretty hostile thing to communicate to a stranger by any method— wouldn’t you say there is a possibility that it was interpreted as menacing?

How is wtf hostile? Like if you seen a duck carrying a cat across the road and some guy made a wtf gesture at you, you’re going to reach for you gun?

Even if you do know better than to start a fight on public transit, this guy doesn’t know you. People start fights for less. He’s not reading your mind, to know you are thinking like sun tzu, and would therefor not attack from a position of weakness like the seat in front. People get stabbed on busses and trains for minor insults. Don’t you think he could have just been cautious?

So let’s get this right. People get attacked on busses for minor things. You think this guy is worried I might have beat him, and you think that too, because that’s what’s happened on public transport.

Well it sounds like I did this guy a favour, the next guy might have stabbed him. Everyone that gets on the bus with him wins because they don’t get pissed off and he wins because no one kills him for being a dickhead.

If him being scared prevents all this then I guess you are right. I did him a favour.

Look cunt you obviously seem to know it’s not right if you acting like that so why you being a knobhead? Just because no one will call you out?

I’m sorry I can’t read minds thinking about the situation at a different time period. But again, that’s an awfully good skill you have.

Omg you are actually talking about video games now. You’re too much.

I said “can’t you put some headphones in?” And put my hands up gestured in like “what the fuck are you doing”?

I’m not going to start a fight with a guy sitting directly behind me. That’s strategically stupid. I didn’t even stand up.

Technically I guess he put one hand up because his other was holding the phone. Which is a very, very common gesture of guilt. I literally watched a game today and one of the players made that gesture to his own teammates when he made a mistake. I doubt he was expected to get punched by them either.

People need to get called out for this more.

I was thinking “I bet back in the day people would have called people out on their shit. That’s why standards were higher”. So I called some guy out on it and he was like “sorry sorry sorry. Okay” and he put his hands up.

Look cunt you obviously seem to know it’s not right if you acting like that so why you being a knobhead? Just because no one will call you out?

Edit:corrected my own shite grammar

Brave is great.

I think I actually did.

I always got told I could do whatever I wanted and didn’t know what I wanted to do. But I figured I didn’t want to do anything manual into old age so ruled that out. I knew I wanted to do a lot of different things and work with different people. But talking can be difficult.

Emails and working together with lots of other people and working on problem is great. Wearing a suit and making big decision seemed really interesting.

Work in general sucks but it beats the alternatives. Everyone on this website comes across as somewhat autistic. Dealing with people isn’t the end of the world.

Capitalism working as intended.

Supply and demand. In this case means higher wages.
