You know. Some people could really stand to get more comfortable with the idea of “you shouldn’t say that because it’s mean”. Especially with really common body shaming and straight up bullying lines.

“You shouldn’t make ugly bald jokes because what if a transman on T sees it!”

“You shouldn’t make virgin jokes because what if someone who’s asexual sees it!”

How about you just don’t make them because they’re mean. How about people can be balding or a virgin for a number of reasons and also don’t deserve to be routinely made fun of. How about saying that the reason you shouldn’t make x joke because it spares x specific identity’s feelings also let’s them know that you actually have no problem saying or thinking bald people are ugly or virgins are stupid or etc but you’re just not saying it in front of them. How about you understand this kind of body shaming and bullying especially in a very public setting online are always going to have way more unintended damage to people who did nothing wrong than damage to the person you’re upset with.

Sometimes the best reason to not make a bad joke like that is because it’s fucking mean.

> You don’t see too many YouTube videos from 2005..

Weird to think that was almost a 10 years ago.

i think this my favorite video of all time. ive been utterly enamored with this video for years – i really believe it captures such a genuine, delightful aspect of humanity and culture from the 2000s, and its so fun to watch!!

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

There once was a man from the sticks

Who liked to compose limericks

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

There once was a man from the Kells

Whose limericks mixed with villanelles

Said he, when you asked

Which line would come last,

"There once was a man from the Kells."

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY

oh hey it's the guy who blocked me from sending anons because I sent in the entirety of the novel Gadsby just before I was about to send in the 26 letter pangram

If you ever feel lost or confused, just remember, when you're on a train, you are always moving forward and will always know where you are heading

the same could be said of if u were fired out of a cannon but the govt will never fund my research 😞

That's not a good transit system, it sounds rather unreliable

unreliable? i can load and fire a cannon in under 30 seconds. imagine being able to travel anywhere you want, not just where theres expensive infrastructure already built, but anywhere, in just a few seconds?

sure. ill be the first to admit our casualty rating is less than stellar, but ya know what they say, "shoot for the stars, that way osha will never find those poor interns remains"

Can you aim it accurately repeatedly though and insure people's safety consistently?

“Back in the day my father knew a space ship captain, real good with the ladies. He used to say, “that Captain Kirk, he was as smooth as a Klingon forehead.” Well, I always thought that was odd, ya know?”

I just had the thought that it's unfortunate that there was never a Columbo spinoff where instead of solving murders, he just goes about his daily life.

see i agree because columbo is like a paramecium that you want to watch under a microscope, but i think part of the appeal of the show (any good show, really) is that it gets you thinking. the show ends, the murderer gets arrested--but what's columbo gonna do afterwards? is his wife waiting for him? is he gonna go sit in his armchair at home with his dog by the fire like the sleepytime tea bear?

honk shoo lookin ass

it gets the imagination going in a pleasant way. so i think i actually prefer that our exposure to columbo outside of his work is limited to coy little glimpses, such as phone calls with his wife about what groceries to pick up...

late night beers after work...

waking up stressed about a case in the middle of the night...

being a tourist...

getting yanked out of bed at 2am...

getting into a car accident thanks to his bimbo driving and needing to get taught a lesson by engorged mr. clean...

you get the idea. let your imagination run wild!
