Fuck that's sad. I loved his input and storytelling whenever he appeared on the stream.

Yeah you could tell he really loved his son and the two had a real connection. Sad indeed. Given that he's no family left in the state and he's single (?), I hope he'll be fine. I probably have a poor choice of words as English is not my first language.

Your words are fine. You speak English well.

Feel bad for Asmon. Lost his mom and dad in a short period of time. Might be time to work on building a family of his own.

To be fair at least Kimmel sticks to his views to the bitter end.

Howard Stern totally changed. He used to be more conservative and his schitck was ragging on losers who seemed like down and out liberal types. And then add in all the fart jokes, sex segments etc.... Then he totally changed to be ultra liberal panderer. No more grilling guests with stupid questions or making fun of how someone looks or acts. It's like a 180.

I read a rumour why he changed was because in order to get into more Hollywood circles his wife wanted, he had to change so he'd become more likeable making his wife feel more accepted. Dont know if that is true though.

Howard Stern was always pro-choice, pro-prostitution, and pro-pornography, so I don't know in what sense he would ever be considered as conservative. He used to have more right-leaning listeners, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that he was ever a conservative because he mocked liberal types.

Satire or not you can't lie about proven facts with the intention of manipulating your audience. In my country they use "fake satire" (what this is) in order to avoid defamation and claim "they were kidding" everytime they cross the line. It's an overused trick, very easy to see through it.

In March 2020 there were many media that still said covid was "just a flu". I dont care if that was a joke or not, you can't lie to the audience or create confusion in a major event. Every journo who does that must be fired.

Not to be crass, but your country is hardly a noble barometer for what is considered acceptable, civil discourse nowadays. That line was "crossed" years ago, let's not suddenly pretend otherwise now.

I went to a work lunch yesterday, and several colleagues were adamant that the shooter was MAGA. I was like, what the hell would lead these people to think that given the mountains of evidence available? But, it's because of things like this.

I feel like Leno was the last great late night host for this reason, he would pick on both sides and honestly while he probably leans liberal to this day you don't really know where his politics are

the next generation, especially Colbert and Kimmel were just political hacks

Yet we exist. We must continue and move forward and make decisions about how to run our country. Even though we are so divided.

You speak as if any decision we could make would be folly. You hold us to a very high standard. We will meet it.

An assassin killed a man. He killed him for his political beliefs during a very polarized time in our country. This is unacceptable. Cultures of assassination over words are morally bankrupt. Nearly everyone in the country understands this. We just want to anger each other with our own words any way we can so it forces either side into unenviable positions and it makes for dark headlines. It's political but also personal. It is a dark time but it isn't forever. This won't last forever.

We can become your barometer once more. Don't bet against us. You see dark times now but the sun will rise my friend. Cheers.

I have a mac book i use 90% of my work on. Not gonna boycott the general use of the windows pc I already have. They already got the money in their pocket for that. I just won't buy any more games that puts money in microsofts pocket.

Well, I mean you can do whatever you like, me, I'm not going to suffer/stop enjoying something just because a very small number of devs on a dev team of hundreds posted something I don't like. There are many things we buy that we know something inhumane or whatever goes on but we buy anyway (and that is much worse than the twitter post). My opinion about boycotting this type of thing is its very much cutting off your nose to spite your face, you aren't harming the dev who posted it by not buying the game as they have already been fired and that is who you should be angry at not their (ex) employer.

But again, that's personal choice so you can obviously do whatever you think is right.

Good times when people liked making fucking money from their work more than open their mouths to use it as a political platform.

Shut the fuck up, do your thing, make money, get rich, the end.

Do you think I talk politics in my job platform and marketing ? No fucking way.. imagine the stupidity of losing patients because they do not agree with my political views.. fuck this lol

It's not about firing the employee for me. It's about how the last six years these corporations bent over backwards for every single left leaning social talking point like pride, blm, etc etc and paraded it for political points but the moment the left grave dances and celebrates a political assassination they want to remain silent and try to sweep their mess under the rug. They didn't stay out of politics in the past when it was convenient for them and now they want to remain silent while their employees are all over blue sky liking posts promoting political violence.

Microsoft made a statement and then Bethesda had the balls to instantly do what Microsoft said they don't tolerate and were their repercussions?

Sony fired the highly outspoken developer and tried to quietly confirm it via kotaku but did they do anything about all the other SP employees or Bungie employees pulling the same crap? No. I'm not asking for Sony to fire everyone who doesn't agree with me. But I am asking for Sony to draw a line in the sand. Their refusal to draw that line (to me) is nothing but a wink wink nudge nudge to their far left employees telling them it's alright, just wait for it to blow over.

This is what the charlie kirk wikipedia page says as of right now, because of course it would. People on X still calling the shooter a Right Winger also, despite everything to the contrary, while also accusing the right of doing such. Guess they missed it when their own news channel CNN proved them wrong.

If you ever look at the methodology used for these statistics to classify "right-wing" vs. "left-wing" perpetrators, it's like a bad joke.

So, "my feelings" again. Actual data who?

I won't even bother to check on its authors. I can have a guess.

A legend. There will never be another late night host of his caliber. Even other greats like Letterman couldn't quite touch him, and no one in the last few decades has even come close.

Carson refused to be political . He remembered it was a comic centered show. Kimmel became a left wing idealog. Letterman now looks like a hobo and extremely liberal.

I guess cancel culture means whatever you want it to mean. Yes, I want my doctor to want me dead because of who I voted for. I want my kids being taught by someone who would dance on my grave. One side has lived consequence free for way too fucking long. Let me know when they get hauled off to the gulag for their speech.

Can you imagine being sick in the hospital and one of these sick freaks believed you were Maga ? Imagine a crazy like that teaching your kids?

Elon Musk calls it the woke mind virus. I disagree. I think it's just insanity.
 
I am old old but this whole furry thing is bat shit crazy to me. It is the very definition of the looney bin. My neice told me they were discussing putting litter boxes in her elementary school class.

Good watch!

Side note.

I'm sure it's some counter-culture on the V-tubers or Pokimanes or whatever the FYCK.

But cutsey anime girl with that dudes voice coming out of it is like the equivalent of tongue boxing your girls ham wallet and then she goes a does a good ol' booty poof on your chin.

It just ain't right.

Let's be perfectly clear, the government didn't get Jimmy Kimmel fired, so it's not "censorship". In fact, the affiliates started this, not ABC, and even after ABC was forced to suspend him, the affiliates went multiple steps further. The affiliates forced ABCs hand, not our government. The pearl clutching over Jimmy fucking Kimmel is hilarious considering that THIS is what was happening under our last President:

Subjective.

No, it's not. Well, not exactly. Everything is "subjective" if you pretend hard enough, but the fact is very few people would choose this woman out of a line up of conventionally attractive women. Basically, her being attractive to you does not make her attractive in general. It doesn't matter if Superman 64 is your favorite game, it's still dogshit, and claiming "that's subjective" doesn't change anything.

She's a mutt, plain and simple.

The monologue was literally satire complete with audience laughter.
Click to expand...
Not only was his statement not satire, but there was no audience laughter, you're literally making shit up. It was dead silent when he went on his MAGA rant and when he finished no one was laughing, because it wasn't a joke, unlike your take on it. And let's be clear, Kimmel has been a political talk show host for years. Every time something happens in this country that he can take advantage of, politically, he uses his show to push his brand of bullshit, with zero laughs and zero jokes. He does it constantly, check out this "satire":



And, btw, all of these "comedians" have done nothing but talk politics since Trump came on the scene, before that none of the late night shows did this. Shit like this is why people are still saying Kirk's assassin is MAGA, because most dumbasses get their political news from leftist lying comedians while trying to get some entertainment at night before going to bed.

He has family in Florida, I hope he moves there so he can be around his people. I was slightly younger than him when my father died and I would have been fucked if I didn't other relatives close by to lean on.

Doesn't matter how many you guys try to pretend it's one or a "very small" number of developers, we all know that's bullshit. And there is a huge difference between buying a product from someone because they do or say things you don't align with and buying something from people who would laugh if you were murdered in the street because of those differences. If you want me dead, and I find out about it, fuck your company and everyone who works there until the rot is gone. And that goes for all of them...I'm done with these clowns...all of them. There are thousands of games you can play without supporting people who have OPENLY come out and stated they are happy that people who have certain opinions should be dead and cheering they were assassinated.
