@DaveChapelle has one tweet from May 2010: "Hi everybody". Don't attribute your jokes to comedians to make them seem funnier.

ACTUAL SOURCE

the hilarious @KaseyAnderson

EDIT: this is really no different than stealing a webcomic and rehosting away from the artist's site. you would be depriving an artist of views and site traffic just like you're depriving a tweeter of favorites, RT's, and follows. don't be a dick. you liked their quote enough to post it, so link directly to their tweet and give them the credit they deserve.

A guy buys a big 200-acre ranch out in the country. One day, shortly after he moves in, he's relaxing on his front porch when a pickup truck comes rambling down the one dirt road to this house and screeches to a halt in front of him.

"Howdy neighbor!" the pickup driver says. "My name's Bill! I live next door and wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood!"

"Well, thanks Bill. That's right friendly," says the man.

"My pleasure," Bill says. Then, "Hey listen, the reason I drove over here is that I'm having a party this Saturday and I'd really like you to come. And it's sure going to be a doozy. There's going to be eatin', and drinkin', and fuckin', and fightin'... I tell you, it's going to be great!"

"Well, that sounds just fine, Bill," says the man. "What should I wear?"

"Oh, it don't matter," Bill explains. "It's just gonna be you and me."

[–]byleth 34 points35 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When I had "dialup", I was 11, and it was BBS's at a whopping 2400bps. I had to get "adult access" on those BBS's either by hacking an existing account or by making a fraudulent "copy" of a driver's license and mailing it to them for adult verification. Sometimes I even had to splice my neighbor's phone line to receive the "verification call", or to contact the long-distance BBS's without my parents knowing. Oh, and high quality at the time was 640x480 but I had absolutely no trouble fapping to that.

In those days, a guy earned his faps. Had to work for 'em. These days, you're just handed faps. Hell, you're given faps you don't really even want. You've gotta make a conscious effort to avoid the faps for like five seconds.

You don't know how easy you've got it. Sometimes I gotta unplug everything and pull out an old crusty Sears catalog, and then pretend someone's walking down the hall toward my room. Helps me remember how it used to be. How hard we had it. Helps me appreciate what we've got these days. It's like the Passover but for masturbation.

OH man. I totally did the same but to a copy of Cosmo or Seventeen not sure and it had diagrams of faceless humanoids in sex postions like in the tub and so on.

I was going to link the "Cold Blooded" cover of Foreigner by Bill Nye (from Episode 38: Reptiles), but alas the video is lost to the internet.

Instead, have this classic.

P.S. Bill Nye later had a show called The Eyes of Nye which is more adult orientated and more discernibly opinionated.

1990 version: You're 11 years old and you have a Nintendo, you little shit.

1980 version: You're 11 years old and you have a walkman, you little shit.

1970's version: You're 11 years old and you have a TV in your house, you little shit.

Simply put, every generation's life is a considerably more convenient that the last one, thanks to technological advancements, and people end up feeling more and more entitled because the standard of convenience is higher (at least among the middle and upper class). This is nothing to get annoyed over. Our parents were probably annoyed at how entitled our generation was.

I'm 20 years old, live with my grandma and have pretty much nothing, but I don't cry or pout. I throw my resume at everyone and use my grandma's phone to check up on them. Then I sit on reddit and write sob stories like this.

edit: omg people are paying attention to me...

Cheer up, guy. Where are you located and what are your skills? Perhaps try higher education?

I'm in ohio, and I have a head on my shoulders. I started attending Devry for their computer engineering course, but they ended up losing half of my information while somehow keeping track of the part where I owe them money... It was a shitty school anyhow. I'd jump all over a chance at a job at McDonald's right now, but I know I can handle much much more than that.

Anyhow, thanks for reading my story. If I were you, I'd have prolly not gave a crap about the guy spilling his guts on reddit.

Try community college? It's cheap and not for profit like Devry.

I'm a community college "graduate." Greatest $1000 I spent of my life, I transferred 60 units to a world renowned university. On a free day go talk to the financial aid. Tell them your situation and they should be able to help you. You pay per unit so if you can only afford 2 classes, you can do 2 classes. If you're really motivated you can work and go to school at the same time (I did 30-40 hours a week while full time).

It doesn't hurt to go talk to them, it will help you find out how to get on track.

If I were you, i would look on Craigslist for jobs and also contact friends to forward my resume to. It's a much more effective way to get a job than to just apply to brick and mortar places that you know. Best of luck..

I had a friend that was attending DeVry a couple years back, he said no employer treated it seriously. Every time they come to my school to advertise i want to stand up and just call them on their bullshit.

I throw my resume at everyone

Unless you're applying for minimum wage jobs, you're doing it wrong. Pick a place you want to work.1 Find a job there that you're qualified for, and spend the next 40+ hours preparing a specifically tailored resume and cover letter to convince them that this company and this job is perfect for you and you're perfect for it. Find people in the same industry / profession (especially hiring managers) and have them look over your materials. The Internet is a great resource for this if you don't know anyone on the inside.

If you're spamming a generic resume, it's going to get lost among the rest.

1 Unless you're an excellent actor, then you can pick any place and convince them you're actually interested in working there.

(Edit: That came off more dickish than I intended. PM me if you want help and I'll provide you with some suggestions and guidance. Let's get you a fuckin' job.)

Fuckin' six-foot pigeons walking around, an elephant who's a junky ("Hi bird... I'm SICK! I NEED SOME SMACK BIRD!!!"). And then they had the nerve to put a pimp on there!

[Only thing comparable to "Killin' Them Softly" is "For What It's Worth", his last major special before going awol]

Also, as long as we're all here, AMA Request: Dave Chappelle.

Is it really such a bad thing though? This is how technology works, as time goes on, it becomes more readily available, and at a lower cost. As a parent, it's nice to know that your child can call you if there is a problem. Can't find a payphone anymore to save your life anyway.

I haaaaaaaate these fake twitter accounts. Despise with a passion. They allllll end up being unfunny then turn into "RT if you'd never be mean to your girl" and lame shit. Hahaha look at me saying stuf that maybe Dave would say!!!! Be funny under your own name.

[–]NYCCine 7 points8 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

So a couple of things...
-it's Chappelle not Chapelle (at least spell his name right)
-when you goto twitter.com/davechapelle [the account listed above] you find the name spelt both ways
-so it's ironic that the post is titled "Horribly true these days" when the tweet is so obviously fabricated

EDIT: the reveal that this post is BS is that the tweet bot hasn't chimed in.
EDITS: for grammar

Back when I was a kid, like 8 years old (22 years ago) - I got a little 3 inch black and white TV for Christmas - just a tiny mini-CRT TV and it was SO FUCKING AWESOME. I could only get like 4-5 channels on it, but it was so cool.

[–]ifyourheadexplodes 2 points3 points ago

I'm really not sure why some network (maybe one of the more "hip" networks like HBO or Showtime, or even IFC) doesn't just offer Dave Chappelle a show where he has complete control over everything (because that's really all it would take for him to come back). It's not like it won't make money. Fuck, it's already got an enormous fan base. I mean, I usually stick to the belief that if something actually worked, someone would have figured out a way to make money off of it, but c'mon. I mean it's Dave fucking Chappelle. Even if the show was just him taking a shit for 22 minutes, everyone would still watch it.

My cousins got iPhones at 7 and 9 yrs old respectively (they don't share the same parents; i.e. they are cousins to each other, not siblings). I'm 21 and I'm using a crappy Samsung. I got my first cell phone as a senior in high school. My 15 year old sister has an iPhone though. You can't explain that.

[–]MananWho 2 points3 points ago

That's actually pretty easily explainable. It's a lot easier to adopt a younger generation into newer technologies than it is older ones. The newer generation also becomes reliant on it, to some extent.

Since you didn't necessarily grow up with a smartphone, you don't feel the need to have one right now. Furthermore, since it's possible that you're past the point at which your parents are buying your cell phone, then you likely wouldn't spend as much to get a smartphone.

This is the same reason your grandparents don't understand all the fuss about the internet.

My child is getting a fucking brick. If they want to tell their friends something they can write a note, tie it to the fucking brick, and lob it through their window.

Is it kind of an aged adage with kids and iPhone ownership when that is not indicative of how it is with many people anymore? It's all about those free (or $50) Droid phones that comes with family coverages and is almost as good as an iPhone. What next, free phones with no fine print?

Step 1: Completely miss the point of the statement.

Step 2: Call everybody retards.

Step 3: Create poorly-punctuated response detailing your own fortune.

Furthermore, the tweet is fabricated.

I think that just about wraps up this thread.

Step 1: Completely miss the point of the statement.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the point of the statement, I don't see how he missed the "point" of it. Basically it's just complaining that younger people have access to better technology than older people, as if that somehow magically makes all their problems go away.

I had none of those things for the great majority of my childhood/teenage years. Eventually we got AOL, and much later, well after it had come out, broadband. Sounds like you were spoiled.

Pokemon with a Game Boy at launch: ~$100
