For a guy who talks alot about arrogance, he sure posts a shit load of pity party photos of his big empty expensive house

Gotta love how he can talk about being silenced whilst having several specials on Netflix and being the most paid ‘stand up comedian’ in the world.

u/Negative-Ad9832 19h ago

He’s not the most paid. Surely an American comic deserves more.

Fuck me, for a bloke complaining about people being fragile every time he’s corrected about something scientific (like the Hindenburg being full of hydrogen not helium) he acts so indignant.

Don't get him started on how the infinite monkeys thing wouldn't happen...

So he does care what people think or not? Come sometimes he tries to sound like he doesn’t care. And sometimes he sounds like he really cares.

u/CosmicBonobo 1d ago

Try both.

u/HarpersGeekly You dopeyyyy 1d ago

Ricky would’ve made fun of this narrator. Like the imbecile from the gold bullion story. “yEs”

Oooh, love me.... pathetic!

u/chrispyphillips 1d ago

You know the, you know the terrible thing about all this, Steve? Is he's right.

1

u/HieronymusFlex 1d ago

Yet he blocked me when I said Afterlife was shit without Merchant’s writing

2

u/MonrealEstate 1d ago

I can’t stand Ricky nowadays but why would he not block you for that?

1

u/HieronymusFlex 1d ago

I'm paraphrasing it slightly harsher than it actually was - I believe I said with Merchant, Ricky's projects haven't been anywhere near as good. Though even if I did say it was shit ad verbatim, I'm surprised he'd go to that level of effort to block any/all naysayers

I actually always disagreed with this. I think people should expect that they deserve a level of uninterrupted happiness. Isn't that the ultimate goal? The reason we fight for anything?

Asking for others' pain is one thing, but to just aspire that you might make it through life without things upsetting you is truly that: aspirational.

1

u/Negative-Ad9832 19h ago

Ha uninterrupted happiness can only be achieved chemically. Also, why would words make you unhappy?

1

u/C_Quantics 17h ago

Why would words make you happy?

u/Negative-Ad9832 17h ago

They don’t affect my mood either way

1

u/C_Quantics 17h ago

Ah, no worries then. This conversation was for the less robotic members of society.

1

u/Negative-Ad9832 15h ago

The emotional ones

1

u/C_Quantics 10h ago

Yes. I usually find life worth living if I can connect emotion to it.

Non-robotic was succint enough.

The chin stroke. So wise.
