    A conservative who defaults to victim blaming, color me shocked. :rolleyes:

    Erring on the side of distrusting all victims because of a teensy minority of liars and drama queens is like hearing someone down the street got hit by lighting, and buying a hundred lighting rods.
    Except the lighting rods talk, and call lighting bolts slur words.

    I've been pushed to the point of oxygen deprivation. That wasn't abuse either. But waterboarding is torture.

    There are lines.

    "Albert's own anecdotes" aren't among them.

    I don't automatcally trust anyone about anything. Blame is not a default position, but a determination based on facts and evidence.

    "Scarfed" meaning "didn't dramatically reject them outright for not being Of The Body."

    Scarfed.
    Meaning scarfed.
    Greedily.
    Unquestioningly.
    Not reading the ingredients.
    Not giving a fuck about the calories.
    Moaning in near sexual bliss, and rubbing your tummy.
    Then metabolizing it into keyboard diarrhea.

    You understand there is more than just physical abuse? Verbal, mental, or emotional abuse can certainly damage a child developmentally. So I'm sure you aren't making a broad generalization that yelling at a child is never abuse? Because I know you don't like making sweeping generalizations like that...or at least you don't like it when others do it...

    Unquestioning is a lie.
    The rest of that is just your hack clown routine.

    It's wrong to say "unquestioningly." UA asks all kinds of questions like "how can I get this into my mouth faster?" and "what if I just relaxed the jaw?"

    I understand it just fine. I also understand that plenty of people throw around the victimhood card, because it's fashionable, to lower the standards for their conduct or to shield their bullshit arguments from criticism. Either way they don't get the benefit of the doubt until I see proof on an individual basis. The opposite of generalizing.

    You love hack clown routines when they rip on trans people and liberal women, and cry about being cancelled.

    If they manage to be funny about it, sure. You seem to forget last part there, Amy Schumer.

    How about Bill Burr? Comedians change their lines like trump tells lies. That is the fucking job. No one is cancelling any of them, but old schtick is old. one of the reasons blackface died is no one found it funny anymore except a few racists. It is the same reason no one really says you might be a redneck jokes anymore. The people who were laughjing with the rednecks moved on and now the only time you here that sort of joke is to mock the right. Their racist sexist jokes are old. We had andrew dice clay. We were all four years old saying dirty nursery rhymes. It is not funny anymore. It is just really old and pathetic now.

    In other words, "everyone is lying until I see evidence to the contrary."

    Unfortunately, your opinion of other people's stories of abuse doesn't necessarily mean they weren't abused. On the flip side of that, fortunately whatever treatment they receive for that abuse is not conditioned on your acceptance of their story.

    Amy Schumer is popular.
    Therefore that must make her good.
    Therefore you have to accuse me of being jealous of her.
    Follow your own dumb rules, liar.

    George Carlin was beloved and funny as hell right up until he died. He knew how to adjust his views while still staying true to what he believed. The old "people just don't understand comedy anymore" or "people are too sensitive these days" excuses don't really work because we've seen lots of comedians grow and understand their audience better. What good is comedy if it's based on old tropes no one connects with? Yeah, that works for shallow people who only glance at the surface level of everything, but the best comedians: Robin Williams, George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Joan Rivers, Bill Hicks, and so on, and so on, they understood people.

    See, Chapelle once knew this, but he's become more a shadow of his former self, a parody of what he used to parody, and it's a sad thing to see. What's worse are the people defending it because they've tied their own identities up in the idea that what is most offensive is what's most funny, but it's where that offense is directed is what makes universal comedy. Push it upward at the people who fuck us over and make our lives miserable? People get that. Direct it downward toward the underdog, and you're just a fucking hack. The people who laugh at the hacks are the ones who also laugh at the underdogs. You've tied your identity to these people, and so when someone calls said comedians a hack, you take it personally, and you're just as fragile as the snowflakes you, general you before you plotz, claim to detest.

    Woman doing comedy make @Uncle Albert mad because she is not blowing him and making him sammiches like his cock ring @Jenee . I would say women like her give UA tyhe wrong idea about women, but given the commonality of women taking abuse from dicks like him I would be the one in the wrong. One of the reasons I will never date women is because I know too many who come around just because you start treating them like shit. It works on men too, but you have to do it from a different angle.

    You might see it that way if you're the sort of idiot who reduces it to "believe me" versus "accuse me of lying," with no option to reserve judgement.

    Nobody is under any obligation towards what I believe unless they expect something from me.

    where the fuck did you drag that definition out of?

    see, this is why we'll take Anna's statistically probable anecdotes about a police response/inaction as more relevant and credible than your daddy issues.

    I had a client (up until his passing around Xmas) who's father had literally set him on fire during a drunken haze. Tell me again about your first world problems...

    You can judge if hers don't cross the line. But you don't get to deny the line exists, unless you're a fucking idiot or a liar.

    I'll admit I'm not entirely convinced you aren't both.

    dude... learn to read what you type yourself, first. mm'kay?

    all you've accomplished here is to not only repeat what I said, but also to seemingly reverse your position from what you'd posted only hours earlier.

    seriously... get a respirator at work... some nasty fumes there.
