yeah I don't remember her name lol, I saw it right after it came out. but i just remembered beth saying her name was "racist" come to think of it, that was pretty good too.
I thought the way they paced her analyses and how the characters reacted to them was funny, and it also was refreshing to have someone with a different outlook from Rick have a clear picture of what's going on. She would get old fast if she was recurring, but it's a nice change of pace to have character development occur outside of a crisis, and group therapy is a really effective device for that.
talks down to super genius and beat him up with teh logics
exactly this. I'd been waiting two seasons for that shit dude, Rick's insufferable. the fact that it came right after he delivered one of his "feelings are gay" speeches made it that much better too, because I was expecting him to waltz out right there.
He definitely doesn't come off as a predator attempting to cover his tracks, but someone who is truly remorseful and wanting to change, with his admission being a big step.
I agree, u/CabinBoyBlue, it's okay when the creator of the finest television program to grace a screen does it.
I really don't get the Louis thing. He jerked off in front of a couple women who went up to his hotel room at 2 am, sober, and only after asking for permission to do it.
Like I said earlier this week. Women don't say a goddamn thing they really mean but are so fucking stupid they actually don't realize this. So you should realize just because they say they want to see your penis doesn't mean it's true
Like when Ross screwed a woman when him and Ross were on a break which Rachel initiated because she wanted to fuck some dude, everyone knew Ross was at fault because Ross was a sociopath who didn't realize Rachel was a woman and therefore too stupid to realize she didn't actually want Ross to cheat on her
in all seriousness (gross, I know), at least one of those women was basically trapped, from how she tells it.
not "trapped" like "I don't actually feel like blowing Aziz Ansari," trapped like "Louis C.K., you're not just making this awkward, you're in front of the door"
he also mistakenly apologized for a groping incident we never heard about, so
I think he's more of a jolly nordic troll. Giggling to himself as he shitposts from his icecastle. Not the life I'd live but I understand how someone could enjoy living like that.
That is a legitimate question. It's not like he likes those sort of LA people, if I were him I would just build a massive house in some fly over area of the world. Employ someone to get his stuff for him. He could build his own town or hire cooks to make him his favorite fast food meals and gas station snacks
he lives there because he needed outbid jay-z for the mansion
beverley hills is one of the last places id ever choose to live in america but if my living there meant cucking sean fucking carter id do it in an instant
i dunno man if i suddenly got 2 billion dollars i dont think id start doing a bunch of stuff i wasnt interested in before, id just start getting expensive versions of shit i liked and wasting free time because who cares anymore
would you go out of your way to do rich guy stuff just because? for me money is a means to an end and making a big deal out of it because you think thats what youre supposed to do smacks of insecurity tbh
whereas notch clearly doesnt give a fuck
id be even lazier than i am now because i could afford to be, i thought that was the point
I have all sorts of shit I would love to do but cannot for all sorts of reasons. Infinite money (and, really, an infinite amount of discretionary time) would mean I could do them.
You would have to be completely empty of any kinds of goals or aspirations if a billion dollars would not change your life in a meaningful way.
I would travel a lot and get a state of the art home theater system but that's about it. Sports cars aren't worth the money imo and I would rather get a really nice apartment in New York than a mansion just because that would just be a full-time job to maintain.
Lmao. Americans can only think of buying shit. What would I do? Travel. Collect a bunch of experiences that would otherwise be impossible because real life would interfere.
A billion dollars could fund a research center that could fucking cure a disease.
Put 50MM into 10 companies who need VC money, one might change the world.
Buy a huge stretch of wilderness and make it protected.
Try experiments with poverty alleviation by giving direct dollar transfers to the very poor.

Bestow a huge endowment on a pure physics lab. We can't reconcile behavior at the quantum scale with behavior at the macro scale. "Dark energy" and "Dark matter" supposedly make up 90% of the universe, because our calculations don't work unless we add them in. So they're probably bullshit, and let's get some physicists on it.
Do a big and systematic ocean exploration. We've only explored 10%, with a bunch of money and drones I think $500MM could go a long way.
I know we joke about being horrible people, but this is the first time I am legitimately ashamed of this sub and it hurts. Shame on you /u/ComedicSans and /u/MasterLawlz for being actually lazy and selfish and not in an ironic way.
I would rather get a really nice apartment in New York than a mansion just because that would just be a full-time job to maintain.
lmao have you never heard of servants? because thats what servants are for
that said id probably just have apartments/penthouses in the major cities too because i really dont care about looking like an "aristocrat," i just wanna have a pad i know i can crash at wherever i feel like partying
Yeah I would personally not want a bunch of servants in my house all the time, there would be less privacy and I would be worried they might steal things
If I got rich, I wouldn’t stop shitposting. I’d just shitpost from my private helicopter taking me to my private jet that will take me to my private chateau.
I can kinda empathize with him. I'm not saying his problems are in any way equivalent to poor people's problems but it would be weird to be retired before you hit 40. Even with a billion dollars, I have no idea how I would occupy the next fifty years of my life lol.
Tbh, if I was filthy rich I would still get a part-time cashier job or something just to kill time and get me out of the house.
Idk, there's a ton of things to do if you're rich and bored. Travel? Ridiculously fun hobbies no one else can afford? The means to do whatever passion projects you want? Be politically involved?
Volunteer? I volunteer at a food rescue/ job training place and the majority of the regular volunteers are early retirees. I'm sure dude struggles with disenfranchisement and I know he's p charitable but I kinda cringe when he comes on here and does the "all I do is twitch all day... sold my life's work to the highest bidder </3" act.
I watched Devilman: Crybaby. I liked it a lot. And I can tell you, with the utmost sincerity and tact, that comparing an ultra violent and sexually graphic anime featuring a man with a literal demon inside him who kills and dismembers other demons to a comedy writer sexually harassing his female colleague and feeling guilty about it does a ludicrously large disservice to the situation at hand. There are times when it is appropriate to compare fictional works to real life. This is not one of those times and Devilman is not one of those fictional works, ESPECIALLY not here. The fact that you could and did make such a comparison boggles the mind.
If that is all you got out of that show no wonder you find my comparison mind-boggling. I very strongly disagree with you and believe Devilman made the sort of statement that is very in line with comparisons to real life, ESPECIALLY now, and ESPECIALLY here. Since you seem unwilling to look at all beneath the surface, let me try and explain.
Devilman is a story at its base not about a man with a demon inside him ripping apart other demons, but a man with a demon inside of him who chooses to fight for a better reality, for humanity, in despite of it.
I think Dan Harmon is a perfect parallel to Devilman because the the divide on his motivations for coming forward I think are perfectly expressed in that show and I think Miki shows us that the only real way to unity and victory is to take the risk and believe he is being earnest until he shows otherwise, as it will inspire others to come forward, maybe not tomorrow, but mark my words I believe the response shown by Ganz in this case is going to be the kind of thing that changes the world, not hiding in our fears that he is just doing it out of guilt or because he got caught but believing that people want to be better.
Ignoring all the other problems with that comment, basic struggle with yourself is part of every story ever and this shitty anime isn't unique at all. From that little information, it sounds like the exact same plot as Skyrim for instance but much less interesting
I couldn't make it through the thread. The posts were way too long to basically say "Dan Harmon is a brave man for apologizing for being a creepy weirdo, but we shouldn't praise him for it. But he definitely sets a good example for all the other male feminists."
The part that I will never get is that the people freaking out on these things typically already hated the person in question, so why does anyone pay any attention because the end result should theoretically be nothing has changed
let's not forget that they want praise and confirmation that they're adhering to the REAL word of god, as opposed to all the filthy heretics who will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
I believe Harmon is the "really wanted to bone one of his employees" guy. Which is kinda 50/50; his behavior as described is certainly inappropriate, but it's iffy as to whether people will care enough to hate him for it.
Man lectures other men on the evils of misogyny, turns out to have issues with women. What a fucking shock.
I knew he was a shithead when, rather than take responsibility for the weakness of Season 3 himself, he hid behind the skirts of his female writers and blamed all criticism on sexism.
His show is half-shit anyway. It wants to be Venture Bros. so fucking bad, only with late 80s and early 90s references instead of 60s and 70s references, but it's just not half as clever.
i think roiland is really a very funny improviser, it's just that he would produce a terrrrrrible show on his own (for evidence go watch his old cosby house content; it's somehow both funny and hard to watch more than 2 minutes of)
Why do people care so much about the personal lives of some autistic cartoon maker? Don't they have like people in their lives to care about? Why do they have to deify celebrities like this?
I did a tour of LA once and we drove by Lucille Ball's house and it was, well....a house. A nice house, but a normal place to live with a yard and stuff. Nowadays, modern celebrities like Tom Cruise have to live in fortresses where everything is covered by trees or walls and all you can see is their door. It's the only way he can get any privacy at all.
He sexually harassed a woman and doesn't deserve a job. Who knows what other abuse has been covered up after all his meltdowns against McDonald's cashiers on Twitter. Anyone who defends him is a rape apologist I can guarantee that.
So on the /r/menslib and /r/circlebroke2 crowd, being a fan of Rick and Morty sucks because the show is problematic, but being a fan of the actual self confessed sex offender behind it is totally fine? This is your brain on soy.
But it does get tiring to see people praising all of these men for demonstrating the cowardice of a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar.
Off topic, but are cookie jars really a thing? Do people actually store cookies in jars? Why? Don't they crumble? Why do you need a jar for cookies? Why do you have so many cookies so frequently that you need a jar to store them in?
I think their origins go back to storing tea biscuits, probably 200+ years ago. Presumably you'd want to have them on hand somewhat regularly, and you wouldn't want mice and bugs to get into them.
Nowadays, I doubt anyone uses them for any practical purpose; it's probably just the novelty factor.

yeah I don't remember her name lol, I saw it right after it came out. but i just remembered beth saying her name was "racist" come to think of it, that was pretty good too.
I thought the way they paced her analyses and how the characters reacted to them was funny, and it also was refreshing to have someone with a different outlook from Rick have a clear picture of what's going on. She would get old fast if she was recurring, but it's a nice change of pace to have character development occur outside of a crisis, and group therapy is a really effective device for that.

To be fair, you have to have a really high iq to understand why it's okay when Dan Harmon harasses people sexually.

It's obvious that he's a predator in hiding. It's built into his very genes, the same chromosomes which led to his pale skin colour.
Anyways, does this mean that R&M is going to get cancelled?
1 ModsMicroPeen 2018-01-12

I think Dan Harmon is one of the very few famous, successful millionaires that I don’t envy.
How can you get rich doing what you love and create some of the most popular shows on TV yet still be such an unhappy person?

There is no correct way to apologize to these people, so the lesson is, don't do it at all.
1 Rodomite 2018-01-12
I'm sorry for calling you a fucking idiot. I shoud have known better. It wont happen again.

Man lectures other men on the evils of misogyny, turns out to have issues with women. What a fucking shock.
I knew he was a shithead when, rather than take responsibility for the weakness of Season 3 himself, he hid behind the skirts of his female writers and blamed all criticism on sexism.
His show is half-shit anyway. It wants to be Venture Bros. so fucking bad, only with late 80s and early 90s references instead of 60s and 70s references, but it's just not half as clever.
1 grungebot5000 2018-01-12
i thought Rick and Morty was going more for a 70s/80s thing
...which I guess Venture Bros. did too, G.I. Joe and all that
1 VapeOnYourNape 2018-01-12
Venture Bros is so good.

Why does anyone care? Liver failure is going to hit before season 4.

Roiland's the real brains anyway, all Harmon brings is like sophomore-year film school shit
1 syllabic 2018-01-12
No, Roiland's all puerile toilet humor and forced edgyness and wow-look-at-me-im-so-weird
1 nonplussed__ 2018-01-12
i think roiland is really a very funny improviser, it's just that he would produce a terrrrrrible show on his own (for evidence go watch his old cosby house content; it's somehow both funny and hard to watch more than 2 minutes of)
1 grungebot5000 2018-01-12
which is the real genius of the show. everything else is just filler
1 a_normal_human 2018-01-12
Why do people care so much about the personal lives of some autistic cartoon maker? Don't they have like people in their lives to care about? Why do they have to deify celebrities like this?
1 grungebot5000 2018-01-12
deifying celebrities has been our entire culture since the late 40s dude
1 MasterLawlz 2018-01-12
It's definitely gotten worse over time though.
I did a tour of LA once and we drove by Lucille Ball's house and it was, well....a house. A nice house, but a normal place to live with a yard and stuff. Nowadays, modern celebrities like Tom Cruise have to live in fortresses where everything is covered by trees or walls and all you can see is their door. It's the only way he can get any privacy at all.

wasn't Rocky Balboa's life like that

because hes a big preachy feminist and its funny to rub his face in it
1 telandrias 2018-01-12
He sexually harassed a woman and doesn't deserve a job. Who knows what other abuse has been covered up after all his meltdowns against McDonald's cashiers on Twitter. Anyone who defends him is a rape apologist I can guarantee that.
1 choriposting 2018-01-12
Yeah but Picke Rick tho
1 captainpriapism 2018-01-12
fucking duh im pretty sure i said he was going to be a rapist months ago
around the time he was getting heaps angry talking about hiring women writers incidentally

/r/MensLib top minds
More like bottoms, amirite
1 IAintThatGuy 2018-01-12
So on the /r/menslib and /r/circlebroke2 crowd, being a fan of Rick and Morty sucks because the show is problematic, but being a fan of the actual self confessed sex offender behind it is totally fine? This is your brain on soy.

Dan Harmon:
Twitter engineer:
Every time. I used to think the antiGG/sexual misconduct thing was just a few cherrypicked cases.
1 nmx179 2018-01-12
u/SOCIAL_JUSTICE_NPC has definitely raped at least one woman, if not more.
1 Tarrock 2018-01-12
The guy went through a nasty divorce with his wife, then hired all female writers for Rick and Morty.
I fully expect within the next 2 years for him to be #Metooted
1 VapeOnYourNape 2018-01-12
Bold prediction considering it’s already happened.

Megan Ganz was totally the best writer on community though.

Off topic, but are cookie jars really a thing? Do people actually store cookies in jars? Why? Don't they crumble? Why do you need a jar for cookies? Why do you have so many cookies so frequently that you need a jar to store them in?
1 imaginarycreatures 2018-01-12
I think their origins go back to storing tea biscuits, probably 200+ years ago. Presumably you'd want to have them on hand somewhat regularly, and you wouldn't want mice and bugs to get into them.
Nowadays, I doubt anyone uses them for any practical purpose; it's probably just the novelty factor.
1 v_is_one_person 2018-01-12
smh. Imagine growing up not knowing the joys of scaling the fridge to raid the cookie jar.
1 Yiin 2018-01-12
We had ours on the counter. It's purpose was obviously to be bait.

Dan Harmon looks like a mix between Randy from My Name Is Earl and Steven Avery.
