i Mean if some unironically think gym shorts is "whoring" [which I hope you don't] I don't think an annoyed reaction is that surprising? I hold no hostility towards you and desire to reach common ground with no hostility or misinterpretations

Six weeks ago Joe Rogan said “ explicitly ” that "I've been left-wing my whole life”. Why believe these guys?

It's a bad joke lol, not to mention if people are so outraged where is the mass protesting against Shane? Last I checked there were tons against a more pressing issue

That might be good on someone more vain, but Shane literally does bits about looking like he has Down Syndrome

Can’t wait until one of these comedians actually say something actually funny and meaningful Where are the jokes about Saudi Arabia? No jokes about alt right dickholes taking over media? So no jokes about Israel? But we get “gym girls dress like whores and me fat jokes” like we’ve already had a tom segura

“Trump does this so it excuses my shitty behaviour” isn’t really the win you think it is. If your moral compass is based solely on what Trump does, you’re not much better. Liberals claim to be better people, but they really aren’t good at showing it, like, at all.
