My dude I’m not going to explain comedy to you. It isn’t objective or universal. If you don’t find it funny, that’s okay. This comic ain’t for you.

My dude, I agree with you. I’m just explaining how we get bullshit like this movie. Not actually supporting it or approving in any way. I can tell you right now that I have no intention of seeing this movie.

Also, everything is awesome.

I’m not the author or an expert or anything. But I’m fairly sure the joke is about how his license expired and she just made him realize she’s a witness to murder.

I’m not disputing anything you’re saying, just trying to explain the logic of a movie production studio. If they’re trying to make a Minecraft movie, they’re going to gear it to maximize the revenue from their audience.

If they made it a kids movie, it’s because they thought that would make them the most money. Whatever kind of movie they made, it’s for monetary reasons.

That may be so, but that’s irrelevant to them. Their IP is Minecraft, not Roblox. They only need to appeal to the largest demographic of people who enjoy Minecraft (aka kids, not adults). The other interests of their target audience are hardly relevant. All that matters is that they’re interested in the topic though to see a movie.

Or more accurately, bug their parents to pay to see the movie. Because those are additional tickets, too.

Homey don’t play dat.

1. that’s freaking adorable.

2. where can I get that “welcome” mat?

“I felt like it.” Is all the reason the cat needs.

I can acknowledge that you’re partially correct. What I was suggesting was geared towards preventing people from acting in negative impulses. Basically, your brain thinking “no, don’t do creepy shit.”

But with your example, exercising rationality actually would help, because “the sadness that comes from seeing couples in public or among your friends and knowing that you’ll never experience what they’re doing” is actually an irrational thought.

There’s no reason to assume this is actually the case. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy that’s easily dispelled by recognizing that you’re actually capable of having that experience. Some proper therapy can help replace those intrusive thoughts with more empowering ones!

Edit: fixed an autocorrect issue that changed my intended meaning. Sorry.

I’m not saying to get rid of them, I’m saying to exercise self control so you don’t act on them. I dunno about resources on that, my dude. It’s just kind of a necessity to be a responsible adult.

Fair point, but there is a simple solution. Learn how to deal with it. Learn self control. Let that rational part of your mind do the driving.

OR we could teach people about respect and human decency…

Sorry, op. I’m locking this post because the discussions are getting out of hand.

Well that was delightfully wholesome!

Hey, op! I just wanted to thank you again for your contributions. You’ve cleaned up your posts a lot better, and I’m glad to see how much more traction they’ve been getting. Nicely done!

Easy there, Satan.

Iced tea is just dirty leaf water.

That’s it. Pistols at dawn.

Pretty much. It’s something I need to know now.
