    Caught this over the weekend. Definitely some laughs to be had, but it's very familiar if you listen regularly to Bill Burr's podcast.

    I like Bill Burr, and I am trying to get through the movie, but the set ups are just really over the top to make the other side look really bad. Yes, that would be awful if people were like that. Why would you put up with that shit? I am trying to force myself to finish the fucking movie and it is hard because it is really a lot of "tough" guy bullshit complaints that don't work because most of the kids aren't the gigantic douchebags he portrays them as. You are misrepresenting what kids are like now because you want them all to be awful. These was always shit kids doing dumbass things, even back when you beat the fuck out of them. There was no golden suburban era when things were totally cool and no one did shit. You just did not have cameras or an internet to share the most awful examples of dumbassery out there, but they were still there.

    This movie is fodder for the old guy victim crowd. So it is cringe, and feeds back a lot of humor that you have to be having a tantrum over kids on the lawn to get.

    So I went back and tried some more of this, and I don't know where it goes in the end, and I am not wasting my time finding out. This is just a whole bunch of don't millenials suck because they are not the giant douchebags we are jokes.

    Maybe it redeems itself at the end, but I do not want to sit through a fucking whole faux news propaganda flick to find out it was trying to pretend these guys are really good on the inside.

    The whole world is horrible because they want you to have a little bit of respect for others. I used to get myself all worked up for the fucking people who are what this movie is trying to spear, but they are just not that much of an issue in life. Tone down your dickishness when you have to deal with others and adult the fuck up. What the fuck is so hard with that?

    Oh, and look at who liked this movie enough to recommend it. That should tell you everything right there. This movie is pure propaganda for why a certain Island is awesome and cool. Go into it knowing that. I do not know how it ends because I do not need an advertisement for how certain people are just really good people when you get done having to eat their shit.

    Is there something actually wrong with what I said, or are you just mad because people might avoid the white men are all victims because they cannot be dicks to everyone movie?

    When UA and the boy are on your side you might want to rethink your offense to the warning regarding a pretty laughless and over the top Bill Burr whining about how he was cancelled because someone told him he acts like a dick. Acting like a dick is his whole act, and without that he has no routine.

    Why do you assume any of your posts make anyone mad? You're boring, you use lame ass trolling from 2010 and literally no one reads your posts in their entirety because no one has that kind of time

    Not to get too far off topic, but there is an effort to respond to me in certain ways that some people exhibit. For instance there was this flashlight guy who everyone knew and evidently he repped everyone and made this really big effort to click on every post. Most of us rep every so often and possihbly miss posts, so when a person comes along with such dedication a person without OCD assumes that something "trolls" the other person to rep their post. That trolling may be a good thing in that it made someone laugh and they clicked the funny button because of it, but this flashy guy always clicked the same rep button. He would take lots of time out of his life because some posters were really prolific and he would actually go to all of their posts and then click the button without missing any. This happened even when he wasn't in the conversation much, and one has to assume there is some sort of feeling there. Often anger and disl;ike is a consistent impetus to cause a person to send negative messages constantly like spam.

    I could be wrong, but in the case the flashlight never fully explained to me why he did it and seemed to always be angry with me when he mentioned me. He would say negative things about me so I assumed the emotion was anger and hate. Maybe he actually liked me and this was how he showed his attention because he was a rather insane little fellow with many issues.

    So when a person acts just like the flashlight did I tend to assume that about them, and I pretty much know someone who says they do not read your piosts yet always seems to know what you say is actually reading your posts because they have a lot of hate reading time, I know that person is lying and trying to pretend they do not care. I do wonder if that sort of person lies to themselves and thinks they do not pay a lot of attention when clearly they have paid a lot more attention than others who do not, and they show it by bringing up old quotes they think other people have missed to prove their point about how evil I am when they think others do not see it. If they really did not read all my posts they would do things like repeat what I said, which certain people do not do.


    I know you are still reading this my little rep fan. I know because you show me you do not scroll by and not read. You have gone back to find things in my screeds I do not remember writing. No one else really cares that much, but you do. Even the one person here I have met and had a good time with, probably does not read all my long ass rants with full attention. I know you do because you are waiting for me to say something horrible so you can note it and bring it up later. You have shown you have done your research and you put a little fingerprint on every single post I make. Of all the people on this board who say they do not read my posts, you are the one person I am sure reads each and every one of them with anticipation of how you will use my words to get me. You digest the information like the dimwitted OCD detective you are.

    There is no other possible explanation for your knowledge of my writing and dedication to repping my posts. Really, if I ever went missing you would probably be the first one to notice. I know because you yap at me every fucking day, and when you don't I miss it.
