CinemaSins is still the king of "unwarranted bad" recaps.

What about CinemaWins?

The entire Dropout channel looks like it's from some alternative reality Comedy Central. Here's a trailer for one of their programs.

Bill Maher might actually be a conservative, but I'm not sure if he would happily accept the label or target a specifically conservative audience. Maybe he's getting there, though. His Wikipedia article was a trip.

Maher often eschews political labels, referring to himself as "practical"... he has also described himself as a libertarian, and has also referred to himself "as a progressive, as a sane person"... Maher counted himself, Rushdie, and others such as Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris as "9/11 liberals", noting that they differentiate themselves from many mainstream liberals in saying that not all religions are alike and that they are not bigoted in criticizing a particular religion.

I wasn't familiar with Dennis Miller...

I think I'd probably join one of the five I mentioned above, versus making my own with hookers and blackjack. Mostly because I don't know how to play blackjack.

I was initially prompting you for a link to a community, since it seemed you were familiar with one... Not an actual drama post right here.

Which is exactly the kind of content I'd expect to see in a meta-Lemmy/Lemmy drama community, yeah

I'm going to be the change I want to see too.
BRB off to start some drama

Update: I tried stalking a few people's profiles, and I just found a couple good communities. This is not a bit.

I now understand less

Personal disdain for a community ≠ personal disdain for a whole server ≠ commentary on a meta level

What are your favorite comedians that would be happy to label themselves as conservatives?

Aren't you the same person who more or less said that you found It's Always Sunny to be too offensive for you to watch?

I don't personally, but would you like to learn about reality shifting, where people really believe they can do this?

Exactly; where do I go to learn why you did that?

One of them is the Machiavellian narcissist, the others are all pure evil in their own unique ways. The entire purpose of the show is to showcase bad people being bad in a way that the audience always laughs at, and never with.

If you don't get it, I understand. It's immensely crude and offensive, and not for everyone. But there's a reason the people who stuck around to watch it absolutely adore it.

Thank you robot, I did my best

I have always heard Jesus referred to as "progressive for his time" regarding treatment of women, by Christians who want to escape the label of being considered backwards themselves. "See, Jesus said women could be quiet and listen to his teachings, they would usually be exempted from learning anything, period."

It also bears the rare distinction of being canceled by several streaming providers but no leftists.

And off the top of my head, it deals with latent racism, abortion, Israeli treatment of Palestinians, and the trans panic ("shit yeah it's a hate crime") before Danny Devito joins.

I haven't seen many VPN detectors with 100% accuracy -- or even anything particularly effective. Usually those are reserved for the big streaming services.

I really wish more text editors being actively developed in the present day would take advantage of the IBM CUA standard that has been embraced by Windows and (Desktop) Linux since basically the early 1990s.

Marvel movies aren't leftist, and their comedy isn't leftist either. That's not even political really. You're describing a Flanderization of Joss Whedon comedy tropes

It's Always Sunny is probably the closest thing to leftist comedy you'll find
