    Show me a guy who sits around the house all day jacking off and I’ll show you someone who isn’t causing any goddamn trouble.

        I’m not gonna lie, your comment made me google it to see if it from a movie or something and the links I got back weren’t super helpful, although there were lots of movies.

          It’s a quote on George Carlin.

          His shows are on Youtube. You’ll enjoy it. But be prepared to be brutalized on your sensitivities.

              I’ve been hearing his shows for more than ten years. Served as a brutal eye opener when one day I realized the true jokes weren’t from the man’s mouth but was sitting in the audience. And I’m not even american.

              Enjoy.

                Okay? I’ve been watching him a lot longer than that. I read his book when I was 12. Length of exposure doesn’t really matter. There’s nothing particularly brutalizing about any of it. It just makes you think. If that brutalizes you, it’s time to grow up.

                  It didn’t brutalize me if only to make me think. Others that I’ve presented to his work found it crass and out of place. He was a very inteligent man.

          am I being an idiot?

          Show me a guy

          ✅ guy

          who sits around the house all day

          ✅ sits around (well he did)

          jacking off

          ✅ he did that too

          and I’ll show you someone who isn’t causing any goddamn trouble.

          ❌ pretty sure this guy got in trouble for sitting around his house jacking off all day.

          my point is

          1000004713

          edit: am I being punk’d by a bunch of incels?

            Yeah mate, you’re being a massive idiot here.

            You’re intentionally misrepresenting what he said and his intent, which everyone else in this thread got except you, so you can make what you feel is a really funny/clever point, that nobody else agrees with.

            It’s possible someone out there doesn’t think you’re being an idiot, but they haven’t shown up yet.

                No, I have him tagged. He does this shit all the time.

                Confrontational just for the sake of it, always puts himself on a moral pedestal and talks down to everyone else for not realizing his superior genius.

                He’s not just shitposting. At least not deliberately.

                  no, they’re right. I was making a joke, but also trying to make a point that such a vague description of a person can ultimately provide unintended results.

                  think of me as a Diogenes of sorts.

                  edit: out of morbid curiosity, what’s your tag for me?

                    Except that everyone here besides you seems to understand that what Epstein got in trouble for wasn’t merely “staying at home jacking off,” and to frame it as such is doing him and all his buddies a huge favor.

                    It’s like if someone goes to prison for doing murder and you say “Well, that person eats food every day. You also eat food every day. Coincidence?” It focuses on the wrong detail.

                    I have you tagged as simply “unserious”; likely as an indication of the quality of rational argumentation you’ve displayed in a previous discussion. It’s a fairly tame tag, but from what I’ve observed of you in the time since then, it seems to hold.

                    I don’t think you’re a troll necessarily, just a little overzealous at times and potentially disingenuous
