Woah. Didn't hear about that. I (nearly literally) live under a rock with some isopods, though, so that might explain why. Turns out two things can be true: you can be a giant piece of shit, and still have the occasional good take, I guess.

Dave Chappelle was lying about growing up in a sketchy neighborhood because it was good for his image.

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dave did grow up in a sketchy neighborhood. Have you seen Yellow Springs? You can't throw a rock without hitting an artist. Those hippies are always sketching something

Really good weed there too

[–] TargaryenTKE@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do artists only live in sketchy neighborhoods? Or am I missing some sarcasm or something

[–] SirSamuel@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Sarcasm. Actually, a pun.

Artists.

Sketchy.

Sketching.

Like, you know, a quick drawing.

I'll^see^myself^out

eta: and Yellow Springs, Ohio is a quiet little liberal town in the middle of deep red Trump cuntry, and is about as dangerous as Bergen when the sun is out

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I wouldn't even call it the middle of deep red country. It's a day trip from Columbus (blue), Dayton (light blue), and kinda a schlep but doable from Cincinnati (blue). Its immediate surroundings are deep red except Springfield. But it's in the path of the 3 Cs

It's also where the republican party was formed, but that's because ohio really fucking hated slavery at the time.

It is kinda dangerous if you try to start shit at peaches. But yeah the danger is a single biker bar and the occasional fascist looking to start shit. Oh and quite a bit of drugs, but hippie drugs not the meth and heroin problem neighboring towns have.

Yeah the guy is a huge piece of shit, so let's not try to rewrite history by spreading nice little stories made to make him look good.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 30 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Why are people allergic to the idea that bad people can say good and correct things too

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone says good stuff once in a while, so why focus on the pieces of shit exactly?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Why is quoting a good thing they said somehow interpreted as rewriting history, especially when it's actually true that they said it? That's almost by definition, not "rewriting" history

Louis CK is also a piece of shit, but he said similarly true things about men and women. Ask him how he knows.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 6 points 1 week ago

Stopped clock

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 5 points 1 week ago (8 children)

What if it's just a good joke from early in his career which resonates with people, and reposting some of his better work doesn't actually mean you're writing history

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (5 children)

It's advertising him, and why would you want to do that?

Is this the same guy who at a show brought out his friend Elon Musk to loud BOOs, then snap that the BOOs were only coming from the cheap seats, ie "poor" people? The sooner Chapelle is forgotten the better for humanity. Every anecdote he tells about his past is a complete fabrication. One year he tells his parents died when he was young, the next year he will tell you about the lavish vacation he can afford to send them on. And when he gets called out on his bullshit he cowardly runs away to africa to let his PR people spin it as a sympathetic moment.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 48 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Dave chapelle kinda sucks shit. Still a well articulated point.

Dave Chapelle is a piece of bigoted shit and I will never let him live that down.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Unless he realizes the error of his ways and apologizes

[–] Quokka@quokk.au 8 points 1 week ago

An apology won’t undo the damage he has caused, nor will it be enough for me to not hate him.

Maybe spending the rest of his wealth and life to undo the damages might be enough.

[–] Doug@piefed.social 24 points 1 week ago

Preemptively dissing disagreements is so fucking stupid. But I guess it drives engagement? Anyways, fuck Dave Chapelle.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh look, a piece of shit needed to relate a commonly understood concept to money just to understand it.

[–] AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 35 points 1 week ago

To be fair, he's not saying that's how he learned to understand it. He's using it as a way to help other people understand it. And the type of people who need the help probably understand the analogy.

[–] Fleur_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dude was seventeen, be serious

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Seventeen when he had the money, not when he said that in the special. He never said definitively when he made the connection between the two. For all we know it wasn't until he was writing the special and needed a segue and went "damn".

Who has a 25K worth pussy?

[–] Encephalotrocity@feddit.online 10 points 1 week ago

According to the judge: my ex wife.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I have spent more than 25k on my wife in the last 20 years...

The important part is how people are definitely not reactionary nowadays, Our intellect has grown, we are evolving! We can tell, because we are always correct now, and always on moral high ground. Obviously. Anyone who would even question that is ignorant. We know this so deeply it evokes rage when anyone is ignorant enough to question what we know. It is obvious we were inherently on the correct side, because we actually took the time to figure it out and they just go with the stupid things they feel or have naively just accepted without questions. This is why they all need to shut up, and they all need to go. I mean, if they would just listen for a second or do some research like we did but no, their refusal to do so just proves their ignorance. I don't want to say we're superior, but you know, we just know more because we put in more work.
