Dave Chappelle was lying about growing up in a sketchy neighborhood because it was good for his image.

Dave did grow up in a sketchy neighborhood. Have you seen Yellow Springs? You can't throw a rock without hitting an artist. Those hippies are always sketching something

Really good weed there too

Do artists only live in sketchy neighborhoods? Or am I missing some sarcasm or something

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

Sarcasm. Actually, a pun.

Artists.

Sketchy.

Sketching.

Like, you know, a quick drawing.

I'll^see^myself^out

eta: and Yellow Springs, Ohio is a quiet little liberal town in the middle of deep red Trump cuntry, and is about as dangerous as Bergen when the sun is out

Ohhhhhohoho you got me 😂

I wouldn't even call it the middle of deep red country. It's a day trip from Columbus (blue), Dayton (light blue), and kinda a schlep but doable from Cincinnati (blue). Its immediate surroundings are deep red except Springfield. But it's in the path of the 3 Cs

It's also where the republican party was formed, but that's because ohio really fucking hated slavery at the time.

It is kinda dangerous if you try to start shit at peaches. But yeah the danger is a single biker bar and the occasional fascist looking to start shit. Oh and quite a bit of drugs, but hippie drugs not the meth and heroin problem neighboring towns have.

I'd say that's a very fair analysis

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

Yeah I've spent quite my fair share of time in that area lol

Ok, still a good joke though.
