Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

my take (which I won't defend for days on end) is that he's insulting the memory of his friend; trans people, especially trans women, tend to be suicidal because of things like the constant societal dissmisal of hatred like his as "just jokes"

jokes do not equal hatred

it is possible to love/support someone/something and make jokes about them at the same time

that's great tree, you go and do that

my wife and i make fun of each other pretty often.. it's a great way to break tension

[Ms Harmless]

the FAMILY of his trans friend defended him? lmao cool cool

[Ms Harmless]

I'm out, tree; enjoy yourself and don't say I didn't try to escape this discussion after dropping my opinion

[tree_]

ok

not being able to laugh at yourself (universal "you") is a wayyy bigger problem than people cracking jokes ... laughter is healthy

You gotta post distractions after missteps!

I am ashamed of buying the Musk snake-oil, I'm the first to admit that. We all make mistakes. I'm not trying to hide it.

Sure tree, sure.

I'm agreeing with Tree way too much lately. Need to take a walk and think on this.

They appear to have beaten the guy up pretty good. Chappelle even said he "stomped" him backstage.. weird.. imagining Chris Rock, Chapelle, and Jamie Fox beating up on the guy.. very weird.. wonder if there will be consequences for them too

Dude looks like he got caught on the wrong end of a kimura the way his arm's positioned

[BurtReynolds]

It's pretty dead around here. Anyone want to talk more about this?

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I wish that guy had been wearing a NWO shirt.

A joke older than the earth itself.

[Jorge]

Fuck that's lame, holy fuck, shit

[Mickey]

Where in the annals of suburban dad Facebook does one even find something like that.

Someone I hardly know from FL posted it. Made me chuckle. Sorry if it missed the mark.
