The best part was the dead silence when he was waiting for laughter or something, the silence was murder on his soul. Not unlike when Dave Chapelle brought him out on stage for who knows why and he was booed like .....how fucking out of touch are you Dave, and why would you bring that turd out?

    There is probably some secret rich person drug that they're all doing that makes them this way. We'll find out about it in a few decades.

    Like lead in gasoline

    It's a lack of negative reinforcement. Normal people face negative reinforcement every single day: if you screw up you lose something. Relationships, jobs, money, etc.

    After a certain amount of wealth the negative reinforcement starts to disappear. You don't need to give a shit about what "little people" think when you can always find an audience that agrees with you. When people will put up with your shit because you're the one footing the bill. When expensive mistakes are pennies to you.

    Exactly. Look at what happened with the OceanGate II Scandal. Stockton Rush, founder of the company was killed when he thought he could bend reality to his will. But the laws of physics can't be bribed or bullied. They can be bent, but not broken. He was told by the manufacturer of the carbon fiber tube that was his submarine that it would not be suitable for use in a high pressure environment. He even fired his own safety guy because he never wanted to be told "no".

    The only difference between Musk and Rush is that Musk doesn't board his own rockets if he thinks they're going to kill him. Rush knew his little toy sub wasn't safe. Not only that, but he convinced other rich idiots that it was and conned them into getting on board with him.

    Apparently Space X and Tesla both have entire protocols and teams specifically set up to minimize Musk's influence in the companies. I once read a story by somebody who interned at Space X who was told, as an intern, not to do anything Musk ordered him to do and to run it by his boss first. The reason Twitter is burning so badly is because there's no team there to run Musk damage control, so he's free to do whatever he wants and suffer the consequences.

    If he were some normal dork people would shun him or just tell him to shut the fuck up until the penny dropped and he moderated what he said. But since he is mega rich we get to enjoy his personality in all its terrible glory because there is nobody who can or would dare stand up to him.

    Or when he died on his ass on SNL. Or when he appeared in a Rick & Morty episode and managed to kill it by his mere presence. He thinks he is edgy, funny and cool but he isn't. Instead he is awkward, unfunny, weird and deeply unpopular for being a dick.

    That's when I realized Rick and Morty had gone to shit! It's unfortunate, the first couple seasons were pretty good.

    It wasn't when it came out that the creator is a pedophile?

    EDIT: I was apparently thinking of the co-creator, https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/rick-and-morty-creator-justin-roilands-leaked-dms-to-16-year-old

    Although, Dan Harmon did have that sketch where he raped a baby doll: https://www.indiewire.com/features/general/rick-morty-dan-harmon-cancel-qanon-save-the-children-1234579993/. I got the two mixed up.

    You know looking back on the history of Dave Chappelle and his blatant misogyny, it's not surprising in hindsight that he turned out to be a piece of shit. He doesn't seem to be fond of the idea of minorities getting rights unless it is specifically the minority he belongs to. If this guy were a white man, he would be up on stage saying the n-word twice is often and screaming about how the radical left wants to cancel him.

    Jesus fucking christ mate turn it in.

    He did a comedy show where he repeatedly professed respect fir trans people but criticised the way some people behave, and you're acting like he "isn't fond or minorities getting rights"

    It's just fucking psychopathic gibberish with you lot.

    If this guy was white he'd be racist against blacks.

    What the fuck does that even mean?

    He's black.

    Calm the fuck down.

    What I am saying is that he is an incredibly hateful person, and the only reason why he Champions black civil rights or at least did during the time of the Chappelle show, is because he is black. If he wasn't black, he would be a white supremacist, because it is in his nature to defend only that which is similar to him and Hate Everything else.

    Also yeah I'm pretty sure the guy who said that he was on team TERF is down with trans people

    You're absolutely correct, but the point of that person's comment was not to say true things but to articulate displeasure.

    This place makes a lot more sense when you realize most of the crazier sounding posts are written by people who think like 12 year old girls.

    I don't think Dave Chappelle is a piece of shit. I think a lot of criticism towards him is exactly what his recent gripes about the alphabet people are about. He made fun of everyone and nobody cared, but when he makes fun of the LGBT then all of a sudden people like you say "he's always been a bad guy."

    Punching up, punching down theory, that's the difference between mockery and joking. One is an offense the other is just comedy. Not all comedy is made equal. There's also making fun of a situation and making fun of a person. The quality of a good comedian is having a good feel for these nuances and when a joke is one or the other.
