  • There is a video of Ricky Gervais, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK talking about comedy and their different approaches. This was before we knew about Louis CK but it was enlightening on how different the approaches are and I appreciated the difference between CK and Seinfeld. Seinfeld basically does the same act every year and changes maybe 20% at most. CK does an entirely new act each time. I did respect his decision to rewrite his whole performance each time he changes it.

    Unfortunately things are where we are at now but I think someone said prior and Carlin would do the same thing and they are some of the greats in comedy






  • It’s probably more directly related to the system of getting the help you need with having to sacrifice a significant portion of the money you make that needs to go elsewhere.

    And it’s a history of it from one generation to the next so there’s not good male role models in most people’s lives for mental health.

    It’s not like it’s some magic thing to go see a therapist and all your problems will be fixed. It can take a long time and a lot of trial and error to find someone you feel comfortable speaking to

    Yes toxic masculinity is a problem, but your comment doesnt really acknowledge the difficulty of breaking that cycle. Not a very helpful and kind of alienating to anyone who needs help and isn’t from a background that creates good outcomes.



  • You have no idea if they have a reason or not. Perhaps that’s their regular spot. Perhaps the wifi or data signal is only good in that area, maybe they are just asshole. But you assume a lot and are just jumping to conclusions. Behaviours that lead to worse results.

    There’s always more to the story than you can tell.




  • That doesn’t really explain anything. Nothing much in that wiki that would imply any sort of benefit to limiting the number of voters to 30,000.

    You claim voters dropped significantly but even the initial voter turn out was about 36% using your numbers (810÷2243x100)

    According to elections Canada last year’s voter turnout was 69%

    So again what does the number 30,000 come from, but more so, why is it a GOOD number?
