funkless_eck,

it didn’t help if you were in (eg) the uk where games cost £1 a go, rather than 25c. Which was nearly $2 in 1992, so 8x as expensive

funkless_eck,

yif’g

funkless_eck,

Man it was a real artifact of time that I remember some email newsletters back on AOL where the writer would get mad and kick you off the list if you didn’t reply to the newsletter thanking the author.

funkless_eck,

when your car is under fire, yes.

funkless_eck,

Don’t have kids, probably never will, but I can sympathize with parents not wanting to be woken at 3am by an annoying teen. But also I recognize that is just what is going to happen.

My parents tried all sorts of things to get me to behave more like a responsible adult, and yet I behaved like an irresponsible teen. I just sucked up the punishment when I had to as a cost of doing business (and by business I mean staying out late on a school night)

I was barely in our family home from the age of 15+. Not because my parents were bad, but because it was what I wanted to do. My brother was home every night and in bed before midnight on weekends. I was the one saying “I’m going to a different city for the weekend, back Sunday night”

If they had punished me for it, I would have just done it when the punishment was over.

funkless_eck,

I imagine more yanks will know him from the gas mask kid episode of Dr Who

funkless_eck,

this was a Sacha Baron Cohen bit

funkless_eck,

wait is that ComedySportz Manchester? Real fucking niche gif if so.

funkless_eck,

for us oldbies, who went to school before the internet was popular, it used to be “You won’t have a calculator with you everywhere you go!”

funkless_eck,

where else do you hang the ketchup packets from when eating nuggets?

funkless_eck,

this is also true in real life.

funkless_eck,

Floating toilet heads flirt as a method of stealing your food, which only happens in Ohio as thats where a lot of cryptids are supposed to come from, and also have voluptuous posteriors, an ultra-capitalist competitive outlook, and I am so confident this is the truth I will mock your relative performance to mine as inadequate and, finally, a dog joins in as a non sequitur because humans are doing it and using synecdoche I am implying you are also just a sheep.

You can call me Baby Gronk Rizz King, Livvy Just Rizzed Him Up

I am fucking 40 years old by the way.

funkless_eck,

Tell that to Danquirs Napoleon Franklin, Daniel Shaver, Philip Braiseford, Eddie Irizarri…

funkless_eck,

what the fuck are you talking about? How on earth is something like playing Pozzo in Waiting for Godot, or James Sr in Long Days Journey “emotional prostitution”?

funkless_eck, (edited )

It is definitely labor. And the only unpaid work I’ve done in 20 years is for showreel, I definitely don’t do unpaid theatre and haven’t since I graduated drama school.

Learning lines (which is unpaid work before rehearsals even begin), blocking (and depending on role: combat, intimacy as is being discussed, music/song, choreography, props and costume tracks) are all pretty hard work. Not to mention 5 weeks of 10 hour days 6 days a week as a standard rehearsal process (all of which is usually done standing and moving, so generally harder physical work, longer hours and fewer days off than an office job).

To say nothing of “hell week” (tech and dress).

For us semi-pros, I’m often doing my day job around roles as well.

funkless_eck,

By that token all labor is prostitution of a sort, and thus the term loses all meaning, so its pointless calling it that.

funkless_eck,

I disagree. Growing your own food is labor. Volunteering is labor. Organizing is labor. Caring for your family is labor.

funkless_eck, (edited )

I mean are you using prostitution to mean “pro-stituere” (“ready” “to be sold”) in which case even the most ardent captialist would agree. Or are you making an insinuation that exchanging the brane of labor-time-effort for the brane of exchange-account-value-store is somehow immoral? Because even the most barter-focussed kibbutz or shetl will eventually need to trade some kind of future (e.g. fishermen need boats before they can provide fish, farmers need to survive the winter to sow seeds in spring)

funkless_eck,

This is why I only get with ladies who like men that are the spitting image of Edgar Allen Poe. Never leave em disappointed.

funkless_eck,

“rolling laughter” is a technique you have to learn as a live performer for a reason. TV shows at the time had to bridge the gap as the 80s/90s invention of stand up as an art form set the tone for how comedy should be.

It’s not that it was always bad, it’s just that culture changed. Same as how a Jacobite audient would find it real weird we watch theatre inside(!), sitting down(!!) and not talking during the show(!!!).

funkless_eck,

most impacts don’t happen at full speed. you’re not taking into account reaction times and braking distances at different speeds.

funkless_eck,

pay people enough to be able to first

funkless_eck,

hmm I do like being silly

funkless_eck,

not watched the video but George Orwell wasn’t writing in favor of surveillance, nor was he a character in 1984.

funkless_eck,

whereas I , with my bachelors degree in clowning, have been head hunted for my last two corporate jobs.
