1, definitely. OP used the top comment on imgur for the title.
You're not wrong. But why spend more time coming up with an "original title" for content I didn't make and to share with people I've never met, for free?
Also the suspense of what comes after the first thing on your list, is getting to me. =p
LOL, I was answering the guy above me, that it was his first point. It also wasn't meant as a complaint towards you, the title fits nicely.
Oh, my apology then. I must have just been replying to comments in my feed and overlooked the need to check the context. Haha.
Re 1: It's just a meme, you don't look at comedians and accuse them of lying. Also, it says "what can happen", not that it did.
Yeah, I wasn't implying anything at all negative. It's clearly just a part of the joke, I was just sort of gently making it clear before saying "Yes though, it is accurate that the art people often have better parties."
Reasonable people don't. Hasan Minhaj got semi-cancelled for a while for including inaccurate details in jokes about his life 🤦
He called for a ceasefire in Gaza publicly. At that point embellishing stories for comedy acts, a staple and basic thing in standup, became an issue for uncritical people.
