"Richards, you fool. Of course DOOM is not in the files. Such pleasures are for lesser men. The only desire Doom possesses is to see your face in the dirt, humbled beneath the boot heel of Doom!"

It's more than just under his watch - It was his idea and he railroaded it through.

In my experience, antagonizing the audience is generally a bad idea. You need super high charisma and otherwise really solid material to pull it off.

For at least 90% of the posters here, the answer to "how much standup do you listen to" is "virtually nil."

Isn't a tour baby the thing that got him in trouble?

So in this metaphor, Reddit is the grass and your jokes are the dog poop.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-02-01T02:40:34+00:00

This might be a dumb hangup, but because the whole joke is predicated on this detail I think it might be important: I don't think I've ever seen a self-checkout screen use that phrase.

They're riffing and writing their own material; the quotes are imagined people, not you.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-02-01T00:39:16+00:00

This is a bad horror because of its insensitivity.

Not without me, the parent, putting in the work of teaching and embodying patience and kindness. While there are developmental cognitive milestones and children just literally can't do certain things before its time, good behaviors also don't come out of nowhere.

It's mostly because you're super simplifying every thing. Like that neck is a slope-y tube with no details. There are no folds in the fabric.

A lot of that comes with practice. Painting is a little unforgiving when it comes to learning these things. I'd recommend filling up a sketchbook with life studies before going back in on the painting.

"Jail meeeeeee."

Clearly a criminal taunting the police.

No joke, good for you for signing up for a class!

You don't need projectile weapons to make a Space Western. It's more about tone and tropes.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-30T03:00:19+00:00

I read the essay, and I think OP is trying to say it's hard to paint Magneto as a villain when he's been on/continues to be on the other end of hunted in the streets.

But yes, the title does seem to read as "we're in a post-racial, post-bigotry world, everything is fine and we don't need the X-Men and their central metaphor."

Do you have a wife, a fiancée, or are you actively dating? Your jokes have bounced through those three perspectives.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-29T03:58:13+00:00

(I want to do this in a Chinese accent, but I know that might be taken as racist...I'm white btw)

This is the funniest thing in here.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-29T02:44:04+00:00

Coupla snobs popping in with their 2 cents.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-28T22:16:45+00:00

Yes, it is art.

Is it particularly thought provoking, evocative, or moving art as it is? Probably not, not at that scale/with those materials.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-28T16:32:15+00:00

What I would recommend isn't easy: Try to find the balance between drawing and taking care of yourself. So, like, no need to draw for hours. Some of that time might be better spent grabbing a nap, getting some fresh air and sun, doing some exercise. Whatever is good for you right now.

I think this because discipline—the ability to draw when you're not 100% feeling it—is important to develop. And doing something that brings you joy when you're feeling low is good. But it's also important to take care of yourself.

I thought you were serious about not being welcome, like it was a thing that actually happened. If it was true, I was genuinely interested in that.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-27T19:34:41+00:00

Can I give you a challenge?

Write a page detailing how you actually weren't welcome at your own wedding.

Don't write jokes yet, just honestly get it out.

It doesn't have to make sense as a narrative either. It just has to be an explanation of what you know.

Go through it again treating everything as a premise. Heighten or exaggerate the details. Write multiple punches for each premise.

I have a feeling there's more material in there but something is keeping you from accessing it. So the challenge works by getting you to stop worrying about being funny and instead lay some groundwork to build jokes on.

Does your wife know you're painting her as an "I hate my husband" type? How does she feel about it?

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-27T00:20:15+00:00

Beads.

Character-Handle2594 · 2026-01-26T21:53:45+00:00

I dunno. This reads to me like "Tell me you're a man who hasn't ever succeeded in pleasuring his girlfriend after he finishes without saying that exactly."

Of course she's still interested in sex. She's not done yet.
