    Every other minute, a woman in China gives birth to a child. We must find this woman and stop her!

    Every time I see something from Vaush I understand why some people don’t like leftist. He is generally arrogant and toxic.

        I agree, but people see that and think all leftists are arrogant and toxic. I am not saying they are right, but we are def not putting out best forward with Vaush

          Making sweeping biases based on the commentary of a single individual is either someone justifying their own prejudices or the hallmark of an unintelligent person.

        My first expose to Vaush was him calling a specific streamer a nazi and saying the vtubing had a nazi problem, which tells me he just firing off hot takes designed to rage bait. That and my general apprehension to political streamers being grifters, I haven’t felt the need to check anything more.

    This has big “I am very smart” energy. Intelligence is knowing every 24 hours is a new day. Wisdom is knowing the phrase “new day” is used rhetorically and figuratively.

      I love these kind of jokes. Aggressive technically accurate call outs for no reason. Like that song from Lonely Island, where the girlfriend hands him a phone and he goes “that ain’t my dad that’s a cellphone! And I threw it on the ground!”

      It’s ridiculous and I love it.

        Generally love that type of humor too but it’s less funny if the person making the joke insults the other person. Because then it makes it seem like the joker does not get that there’s two meanings in the phrase, like how the original commenter noted. It makes the joker seem condescending and oblivious.

        Saying these types of jokes with a straight face would be much funnier than if the joker was mean spirited. Leslie Nielsen was a master at this.
