As a person who does standup as a hobby, Tim hits every nail on the head tbh. I wouldn’t go to any of those clubs/halls/bars if it wasn’t required. The standup scene really is just older, jaded people who are witty but too witty to be happy. The scenes do feel dark and old. Love comedy tho.
I have not watched ur stand-up, but I heard it's terrible, from like, the interwebs. Which, for once, makes me feel encouragement. bc lots of shit is terrible. and a lot of it is so terrible, that shitty stand-up, or whatever--that kind of terrible is the least of our problems. Anyway, I read ur comment, and wasnt gonna search u/ur comedy out--I'm fukin busy and i gots shit to do--but then I read a review saying it's terrible--now ima check it out. at least u in the arena, jack
Alternative to malls and online shopping: you know... cities. Where you walk around. Not the American kind where you need a car and everything is divided by huge roads and 60% of the area is just parking (people live in one place, go shopping in another, work in a third...) but you know, real cities. Those are making a comeback.
spread it, like paul and the gospel. u heard it here first, ladies and gentleman. be on the lookout for a new video from mr dillon, working title: Spread It, Like Paul and the Gospel
Dude I was so happy during the pandemic, I live in a little mountain town in Colorado, in the Main Street, surrounded by restaurants and air bnbs, my wife and I are both pretty antisocial already so this was fucking perfect for us, everything was quiet, no dumb fat tourists from Texas, no loud old ladies yapping on the other side of my fence, no cars, no waiving at morons walking in front of my porch while I’m trying to chill while smoking a joint and listening to a podcast, or music, or just the birds… good times.
I live in Cleveland. It has always looked like shit and it not getting any better. Except on the east side they started tearing down the biggest and most prominent projects and are building town homes and other smaller buildings. They will never be able to gentrify those neighborhoods though. They're already gang infested and everyone is afraid to move there. Not even people from the hood want to live in those neighborhoods.
I remember going to the Oakland Paramount theater as a young lad and thought man what a great place to have music and art and all this culture. Yrs later, 30yrs old now, I went and thought "God this place is disgusting. What a dump it's become" lol🤷🏽 I have to agreed
7:50 - to make a point, I think we as a species are not evolving as quickly but our technology is evolving so that the things we use like malls etc... become obsolete and make our lives “easier”. (VIA Amazon, eBay, etc) At the same time making our species more complacent and less likely to evolve in terms of science if that makes sense. So making our lives easier now, makes our children’s children’s children’s lives harder because they then are used to not seeing difficulty in their lives, putting them in a worse place than we are now because we will need to compensate with more advanced technologies for our lack of physical evolution at that point vs where we’re at in terms of evolution now. I wish I coulda said that in a more easier-to-read way because of how interconnected these issues are but reading the books Artificial You by Susan Schneider and One Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse (ESPECIALLY one dimensional man) will tell you what I’m trying to say in much more detail but also with a lot more words.
