    All those valley girl hot yoga chicks you are banging must be worth it.

    I know diablo is just taking back the "im not religious but im spiritual" meme away from the former tians whose parents forced to go to church or college students who took a class about eastern cultures or someone into some mystical self empowerment trip that uses mantras massages oils crystals chakras martial arts dreamcatchers etc... Or maybe just someone into curry and weed.

    Never been a big fan of Dave Chapelle.
    He just doesn't make me laugh. To be fair, I have barely watched any of his stand-up or his show.
    Appreciate the talent though.
    He's clearly an upper tier, all-time great who has made a shit ton of money telling jokes and has earned the adoration of his peers

    I checked out the Netflix special for about 10 minutes (along with select clips online) and wasn't really amused.
    Do I agree with some of his observations? Sure. But was it funny to me? Not especially.
    I didn't find the subtext original or that insightful, either.

    Nick Di Paolo's "Breath of Fresh Air" wasn't exactly amazing, but I think it was funnier than Dave's special.

    ...The thing about Bernie Sanders is he cannot get the black vote. I keep e-mailing the fucker; change your first name to "Colonel"!


    I will give it a longer watch sometime and see if my opinion changes. It's hard to say for sure something is not funny when I haven't watched the entire special.

    Until then...

    I tend to agree although the man made me laugh out loud several times during this special
    what's amazing is that even though he's a liberal he is out there taking a bat to a lot of their nonsense
    he's just citing common sense but its rare to see that coming from a Hollywood minority, comedian or not
    the juicy smolet bit was worth the price of admission
    watching the folks in the crowd go from big wide smiles to sitting back uncomfortably was, well juicy
    his shows are legendary of course, but his continual laughing at his own jokes and walking to the back of the stage got old
    still its about time comedians start taking back the stage
    there were all sorts of things I didn't agree w but that's sort of the point
    no one is supposed to be comfortable
    and its been a loooooong time since I've seen the left get taken out behind the wood shed so good on him

    I watched his Netflix special last night. I thought it was pretty funny, but didn't stand up to his work in classics like, "Half Baked."
    I can also understand why some people had their feelings hurt.
    I think it's fuckin hilarious when he makes fun of white people. I should probably work on being more butthurt about that.

    I think that punching bag has "subjective theory of value" written on it.

    Dude i'm working on it!
    Old habits die hard.
    I appreciate the message.
    So i'll give you a little bit of classic.
    One paragraph, just for old times sake.
    ------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 1. There is no should.
    Case ¹ Self evident.

    Not voting is like not going to church.
    Exactly the same thing.
    You either practice the state religion and take part in its religious rites and light your votive candle to elect your guardian angels and you better pay your tribute... Or don't.
    Nobody will judge you except your peers.
    Low turnout is by design.
    It legitimizes power.
    The fewer the votes the more powerful they are.
    A country that actually wants the majority of people to vote would do it differently.
    That is not how the system works.
    If the governments power to tax was tied to turnout then even fewer people would vote.
    Then the incentive is to have low turnouts so the government can't flex their power.
    At least from the people who don't want to be taxed further.

    Thing is that most of us are liberals as all hell.
    Then shit got weird.
    It's either a sign that its the end of the world.
    Or... this is what always happens to everyone between 45 and 65 years old every time these cultural changes happen.
    Which just happen to repeat themselves every 45 to 65 years.
    So yeah... the end of the world right?

    you know it is the end of the world
    at least for us it is
    live long enough and witness the patterns like fashion
    but slow change is gone and fast change is here
    scares me how few pay attention
    here's the new boss, same as the old boss
    yet there's kids like TB who listened and then watched what his dad was telling him
    nothing is free and you get what you work for
    thing is envy is free and Lenin's on sale again

    Fair point but low turnout got us the thing we have in office now and the right WILL vote for him again without batting an eye. Apathy is the scourge of ambition.

    Do you want your government to be ambitious, or do you want it to be a steward?

    I want them to listen to the people and put us 1st not their personal wealth. Stewarding has put us in the situation that we are in now, it's time for a little ambition!! Some ambitious are worth the fight like saving the only planet we and our youngsters have to live on while when are gone.

    People die under the best of stewards.
    Ambition as you say it will only serve to herald the coming of galactus.
