Fucking just make this guy the face of the dnc and we can be done with all this shit already. Just fucking do it already. Pull the strings, pad his pockets, and get going with reconstruction.
I swear to God if someone passes control of the dnc to bill burr we will skip 50 years of regression.
Insurance companies are taking the risk of offering insurance. That is why they normally make money year after year after year.
When bad things happen, they take the hits. They take on some debt. They stop making profits… because they decided to purchase the risk from people. That’s the gig.
There is a middle ground here that doesn’t bone homeowners and doesn’t completely bone the insurance companies affected. They should be taking on debt and making zero profits until they pay it off. That’s not how things work here though, i’m sure they will be bailed out on taxpayer money or something… but what should probably happen is that they should be given a federal loan on pretty favorable terms, something like 1-2% interest, until it’s paid off.
At the same time standards for homes in areas at risk should be such that fire mitigation is mandated whenever a house changes hands. This will inevitably drive up costs, but again maybe this is another case for low/no interest rate loans to cover the changes. A billion or two today could save 25-100-500++ billion over a few years.
How exactly is this uplifting? Because Bill Burr said something? This means what? That change will happen, insurance companies will change their ways??? This sub standards are so low.
standards are so low.
Dawg have you seen the news lately? Also Burr is an icon
Maybe there should be a community for Uprising News
He doesn’t say much that wasn’t cut out,
Here is a 1 min video from a month ago that goes into more detail:
He doesn’t say much that wasn’t cut out
My brain hurts trying to make sense of the negations in this conundrum. Thanks for that. 😞
That interview on Jimmy Kimmel has an obvious edit shortly after Bill says “free luigi!”. I’m not sure if the producers of the show cut the crowd reaction or something else Bill said, but something was definitely cut out.
Seeing stuff like this in the uplifting news community instead of shit like ‘local kid spends 60 hours a week selling lemonade to pay for sister’s cancer treatments’ is why I appreciate Lemmy vs Reddit.
And the only comment on that article a bot decrying the horrible cold blooded murder and that a figure as visible as Burr should invoke the name. We’re all cheering the murder you fucks and no amount of pissing on us and telling us its raining will make us stop.
Always fun when Bill Burr makes a talk show host visibly uncomfortable. I’m worried they’ll stop having him on altogether. Supporting Luigi might be crossing the line. I dunno how Jimmy Kimmel feels about Luigi Mangione, but I know how the people who sign his paychecks feel.
If they can’t get people to hate Luigi, they’ll shift to getting people to forget about him.
He’s too good for ratings. People tune in to watch him make the host uncomfortable
I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel, is he just a bad interviewer? Cuz he sucked. Even the introduction was bad.
Trump hates Kimmel because he dunks on him all the time
He doesn’t really interview, it’s just setting up four panel jokes. He uses the same vibe as his opening monolog
He was the guy what did the Man Show, right? The one that featured chicks on trampolines?
He’s gone downhill
I liked The Man Show, but I was also a stupid teenager.
The show that kept Joe Rogan in the public eye between fear factor and his podcast? Yeah, fuck that noise.
I think he did it during Fear Factor. He was the second grouping of hosts with Doug Stanhope after Corolla and Kimmel left
Correct, however at the time man show was fine. It was ruined by Joe and Doug. They made that show completely unwatchable. Their comedy just sucked ass compared to Jimmy and Adam.
Stanhope is incredible now but his style was 100% wrong for tv.
I dunno what this Joe Rogan is, but it sounds like something you’d put on a bald head to make it grow hair
Did you ever see Dogma? Do you remember the Shit Demon? A Joe Rogan is just the nice name we call them.
I dunno what this Joe Rogan is, but it sounds just like Raditz.
FTFY :D
I liked his commentary on those squirrel videos.
He’s definitely a bit of an asshole, but at the end of the day, from what I’ve seen from him over the years he does have his head on straight on a LOT of issues.
He’s essentially as close to Carlin as we’re likely to see.
Shhh, that’s what people were saying about Dave Chappelle before, you know, all the stuff he’s said recently about trans people
I assure you no one was saying that about Dave Chappelle. That dude has always been a racist jackass. He just happened to be funny for a short while.
Dave is an absolutely world class comedian, but I believe (and I’m pretty sure most of Lemmy would agree) his personal politics are trash.
Bill Burr is also a world class comedian, but I like most of his personal politics.
The problem is that unlike writing, music and movies unless you are on stage doing a “character” your personal politics IS your act and its very hard to separate the art and the artist.
I don’t even think he’s an asshole, honestly. He just has no filter against stupidity.
Hard agree. I used to think he was just strictly a dick, but his introspection and growth shows he’s really honestly been thinking about things with as much empathy as he can muster.
Tbh that’s probably a big part of why I think his head on straight, because I’m kinda the same way in that regard
And the fact he can’t get away with it is what I love about the guy. He isn’t afraid to confront the hard truths we all are thinking about.
That’s a good point I think but I’d argue that’s kinda a recipe for an asshole. Especially if you think you’re always right and everyone else is stupid. Not that I think that’s really the case with burr (I mean he can definitely be a bit of an ass sometimes but who isn’t) and I don’t have much of a problem with him at all but I think you’re description kinda only makes a person conditionally not an asshole 😄
He’s like my inner angry voice when I’m pissed off at something but as a person.
Is he though? I can’t think of any takes from him that I haven’t liked.
He’s definitely gone into territory that I think some people find “offensive”, but I personally find to just be blunt. Maybe it’s the old school Bostonian vibe, which I understand as a Bostonian, and some people not from the region don’t necessarily.
He’s actually a really good example of how to do shock humor without being a bigot. He doesn’t really punch down, and if he’s doing like race jokes, it’s usually through the lens of “look at how stupid this racist mfer is.”
So? People get so hung up on their right to remain unoffended. That’s not reality - it’s hiding. Our collective thin skin is getting shredded. We all need a dose of “wake the fuck up and smell the bullshit” more often.
Seriously I think it’s possibly a psy-op to make the left weaker in North America. Or at least to make leftists seem weak. At any rate it’s working, look at what’s happening to our political landscape as a result.
I mean, that doesn’t feel farfetched.
By the way, my friend had a hardcore band called “Crucifux” in Tampa Bay, FL area about 15 years ago. Your handle made me double-take.
Haha I know. I love hardcore, and found out about them from googling my own gamer tag when I was like 17
For every American who gets offended at someone from Boston there’s a Canadian that isn’t a thin-skinned little bitch. ;) (okay maybe not a perfect metaphor but after the day I’ve had I’m not workshopping this one)
He was going off about CEOs being the new mafia, just mafia supported by the law this time around. And speculating on whacking between CEOs, like Walmart vs Target and such, pre Luigi. And then Luigi happened and he’s like: well yeah.
Really, it all fit with his pre Luigi narrative.
Sometimes I’m not sure if I’m a Bill Burr fan, but then he does shit like this and I go all Gaga for him.
Capital-G Gaga? Like you put on a meat dress or something?
Are meat dresses made out of skirt steak?
👈👈😄
Clearly my keyboard thought so.
His comedy is pretty good. Not so much his old stuff but his newer stuff is amazing. Like his comedy or not, he’s always had a “fuck you” attitude about this kinda stuff which is why I respect him so much. The only comedian I know that calls shit like it is and calls out other people on their bullshit without giving a shit about what he says. He’s like the voice in the back of my head when I’m pissed off at something incarnate.
I followed him back on O&A and watched his small bits to his Breaking Bad stuff and everything… seen him like 5 times live. I love his body of work … old to new.
His “fuck you” attitude is one that makes me wish I’d have a friend like Bill calling my ass out. I love it.
Yeah, feels like he is walking in Carlin’s foot steps but with his own cadence.

Thank you
