I heard he said he would release the Epstein files over his dead body and I was all for that.

How can we make them feel unsafe?

Technically that doesn’t even work with christianity. You have to very specifically blaspheme against the holy spirit, who is most definitely a child rapist on the Epstein list. You can call their god whatever name you want, deny Jesus, worship any form of metallic idol you want - you still can get through the door to heaven. It takes a special kind of statement - like saying the holy spirit isn’t even real and only exists because whatever man made it all up was accused of copying off of some other religion and just made up even more bullshit so their “nuh uh” had more weight.

My I introduce the reverse loophole.

Blaspheme against the holy spirit, that piece of shit.

Doing so is the only unforgivable sin. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Straight to hell with you and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Not even their god. By blaspheming against the holy spirit, that fake garbage, you are putting up the shield against christians. They can’t save you, you have no reason to convert, it is a waste of their time…please leave me alone.

Now, if anyone can give me reverse loopholes for other religions, that would be great.

There is no list… After the Trump administration removed all of his rich peers from the list, no names were left…so no list.

Forgetting about Kanye because he was buried under a mountain of more horrible people causing considerably more damage is probably not a good thing.

The News: where should I start?

Not voting for Harris doesn’t make a person a Trump supporter. Their vote however does support Trump.

I can recall numerous comedy movies I went to where I was the first to laugh. Like a full “ha” before everyone else started laughing. I am unsure if I influenced others to laugh, I was more satisfied that I didn’t need another person to laugh to actually enjoy what I was seeing.

It wasn’t “just” the audience. Sweetening enhances the laughing - it doesn’t replace it.

I always thought of it this way. You see fun videos of sitcom outtakes, everyone is having fun on set. This means multiple takes. How hard would you imagine it is for an audience member, on the 15th take, to laugh? Sweetening.

You are partially correct. The pacing is a thing, for sure.

But if you do watch those videos there are plenty of non-joke pauses for laughs. I can recall one where one of the guys walks up to the others sitting in the cafeteria and says “hey guys”… pause for laughs. He wasn’t dressed funny, he wasn’t doing anything odd, just… “time to laugh, I guess”.

IMO, canned laughs are the tool of those that aren’t really that good at writing comedy.

From your comment, I know that either:

You have no children who have drawn a picture for you.

• or -

You do, but they don’t know your Lemmy account.

The before and after photos are undeniable.

Tell that to Mr Potato Head or M&Ms. You might be better off phrasing it as “it shouldn’t”. Because the moment this shows up on conservative media… It will.

Old people living longer.

Tucker Carlson: “Many people are saying he isn’t an actual American. If not, who is he? Is he a Russian spy? And if so would he like to come over to my home to discuss Putin’s dreamy eyes and masculine physique? I am just asking questions here.”

Sounds like your growth is your realization that people aren’t intending to harm you. That, yes, they are just people bopping along trying to survive. That their indifference to you isn’t malice. A great life lesson.

However, that doesn’t mean they aren’t also idiots.

I was at a Cracker Barrel last night and among the random shit on their walls was an old checker board. The border of the board, taking the majority of the space available, was covered in ads. I guess it never changes.

I am sure the knife would dull and the bicycle would wear… so, some loss.
