The important part is how people are definitely not reactionary nowadays, Our intellect has grown, we are evolving! We can tell, because we are always correct now, and always on moral high ground. Obviously. Anyone who would even question that is ignorant. We know this so deeply it evokes rage when anyone is ignorant enough to question what we know. It is obvious we were inherently on the correct side, because we actually took the time to figure it out and they just go with the stupid things they feel or have naively just accepted without questions. This is why they all need to shut up, and they all need to go. I mean, if they would just listen for a second or do some research like we did but no, their refusal to do so just proves their ignorance. I don't want to say we're superior, but you know, we just know more because we put in more work.

Oh great... Yeah... Dave Chapel the Champion of minorities and LGBTQ /s

Fuck that guy.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Oh look, a piece of shit needed to relate a commonly understood concept to money just to understand it.

[–] AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 25 points 8 hours ago

To be fair, he's not saying that's how he learned to understand it. He's using it as a way to help other people understand it. And the type of people who need the help probably understand the analogy.

Woah. Didn't hear about that. I (nearly literally) live under a rock with some isopods, though, so that might explain why. Turns out two things can be true: you can be a giant piece of shit, and still have the occasional good take, I guess.

The people need to know! The people also need pictures. I'll go first:

[–] Anne@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

OMG it's so pretty! Does this surprisingly cute creature have a common name, or just isopod?

It's giving me eyeshadow inspo haha she's got my ideal pale princess colors.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 3 points 16 hours ago

Do you have them in an aquarium?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 16 hours ago

I wish. I have dug enough pits, I probably have a dead one stuck in my sinuses or something

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

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 29 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

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

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 21 points 16 hours ago

Ok, still a good joke though.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 87 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Yeah the guy is a huge piece of shit, so let's not try to rewrite history by spreading nice little stories made to make him look good.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What if it's just a good joke from early in his career which resonates with people, and reposting some of his better work doesn't actually mean you're writing history

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 3 points 54 minutes ago

It's advertising him, and why would you want to do that?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 23 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Why are people allergic to the idea that bad people can say good and correct things too

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hitler loved to play with kittens! He carried them around in his shirt pockets to keep them cozy and warm.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Hitler loved dogs. Now think about how Trump is the only US president to have no pets, and dislike animals. Trump has less empathy — is more sociopathic — than Hitler.

Hitler also didn't rape kids.

Hitler loved dogs

I do not like this picture, Charlie. It's smug aura mocks me!

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Everyone says good stuff once in a while, so why focus on the pieces of shit exactly?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Why is quoting a good thing they said somehow interpreted as rewriting history, especially when it's actually true that they said it? That's almost by definition, not "rewriting" history

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 1 points 34 minutes ago

It can be taken as an endorsement of his other views too and I'm sure there's plenty of people that aren't shit had bigots that have had a similar realization about the vulnerability of women.

[–] Zephorah@discuss.online 16 points 15 hours ago

Louis CK is also a piece of shit, but he said similarly true things about men and women. Ask him how he knows.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 15 hours ago

Stopped clock

Is this the same guy who at a show brought out his friend Elon Musk to loud BOOs, then snap that the BOOs were only coming from the cheap seats, ie "poor" people? The sooner Chapelle is forgotten the better for humanity. Every anecdote he tells about his past is a complete fabrication. One year he tells his parents died when he was young, the next year he will tell you about the lavish vacation he can afford to send them on. And when he gets called out on his bullshit he cowardly runs away to africa to let his PR people spin it as a sympathetic moment.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 41 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Dave chapelle kinda sucks shit. Still a well articulated point.

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He sucks shit now, he told that joke when he was still pretty good.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Back when he was poor and punched up, before he became a mentally-ill oligarch whore who punches down.

[–] edible_funk@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

He was never actually poor, he came from a wealthy family. He led a rich privileged upbringing.

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 24 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Dave Chapelle is a piece of bigoted shit and I will never let him live that down.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Unless he realizes the error of his ways and apologizes

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 4 points 8 hours ago

An apology won’t undo the damage he has caused, nor will it be enough for me to not hate him.

Maybe spending the rest of his wealth and life to undo the damages might be enough.

[–] Doug@piefed.social 22 points 16 hours ago

Preemptively dissing disagreements is so fucking stupid. But I guess it drives engagement? Anyways, fuck Dave Chapelle.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 7 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

Who has a 25K worth pussy?

[–] Encephalotrocity@feddit.online 7 points 8 hours ago

According to the judge: my ex wife.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I have spent more than 25k on my wife in the last 20 years...

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Pussy deluxe lifetime* subscription.

[–] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 14 hours ago

I have a pussy. I frolic around alone in bikinis and on nude beaches on a regular basis and everyone is respectful. The world is not as dangerous for women as Dave Chappelle imagines.
