I can't watch that video right now. Is it one of these guys arguing that it's now irrefutably proven that PEECEEESSJAYDUBYAHSISM is Satan Incarnate because Dave Chapelle made a few off-color jokes and people liked it?

Be pretty funny, anyway, because that new special is so tame. Better than the last one, but still pretty tame.

Also kinda where the proud boys came from fwiw

wait is this a jame improvisation or is this true

yeah I also would like to know more

cw: that was a highlight for sure. although it's impossible to say whether him butchering "nguyen" is him edgelording, him not giving a fuck, or him having no clue that he's saying it wrong. guy wins in all three cases. the power of apathy.

mike: not that I have to spell this out for anyone, but countering the imaginary idea that all critics represent "left wingers" with the equally imaginary idea that "audience score" represents actual public opinion and not an alt-right troll brigade... I don't like it

Yeah, I'm only a minute in and it's already clear that that's the "argument" it presents, and it's exactly what I figured. I'm afraid I probably spend just as much time as James on Youtube, so I pretty much know how this goes by now.

I'm not watching the rest, though, if this guy wants me to sit through three and a half minutes of his fucking edgelord sperg-gasm, he needs to buy a better mic. I'm sure some Koch brothers-funded "think tank" is still looking for Youtubers to sponsor.

It's 100% true! It mutated very quickly into something else, but they definitely came from Cumia's basement/compound/podcast network.

just the fact that this exists and its in my reccomendations

literature on burning man

By setting our bullshit detectors on high alert, Burners ward off pretension, self-consciousness, and all of the pre-packaged "experiences" that have come to define late capitalist subjectivity.

oh really

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprised_of

the same internet fucks that tried to edit me into being a millennial are back at it, making claims that "comprised of" is OK just because everyone is doing it.

just look at the "use" section - the argument is essentially: look - people have been fucking this up for years - therefore it is not a fuckup

I guarantee this faction consists of men who had this fuck-up pointed out to them and decided to dig their heels in and change what's technically correct instead of admitting they fucked up. trump's hurricane sharpie and they're getting away with it...

its amazing how long this mans completely broken brain has eluded pop culture appreciation

Youtube stories

I KNEW IT

terrence howard is waaaaaay ahead of us all. his seamless pivot to the mundane "why do I have a star on the walk of fame before I got an emmy nom?"

The CPU Guile not having to charge flash kicks might be the #1 irrational anger of the first half of my life

unblockable m bison flaming torpedo

I remember the first iterations of the flaming torpedo being so unbalanced in the original game and first versions of champ edition. Even if you blocked it it would do massive chip damage, hitting every frame of the animation.

I only played Street Fighter 2 with my friend paul and he beat the shit out of me 100% of the time fair and square

I owned the genesis home port

It had the terrible title of “special champion edition”

It contained champion edition and turbo hyper fighting. I eventually got good enough against the computer that I could beat it on the hardest difficulty with the speed cranked to max without losing any rounds with all the characters.

The average human opponent would usually kick my ass.

this is bringing back shameful memories of the times I would hustle the nerd twin kids I would babysit - letting them beat me at SF2 a bunch of times, and then I propose that we make things interesting with me crushing them and cleaning out their ice cream truck funds

Of course that phony piece of shit Steven Pinker is a "comprised of"-apologist.

this rules so much. reminds me of when i was a kid and my friend and i were playing killer instinct. we could hear the neighbor kids playing too so we turned it up all loud. like 5 seconds later two boys much younger than us knocked on the door with snes in hand. we played them. they completely CRUSHED us. like 25 hit combos n shit. after losing a few games and realizing we could never win we made them go home. little shits. still pisses me off
