  • I’m guessing you meant to say ‘material’, and yeah. You’re not wrong. Every single clip I’ve ever seen of this dude is heckling material. I remember him releasing an album for free like a decade ago so I downloaded it and listened to it. It was just… mid. His heckling stuff is fine but his actual stand up is severely lacking. He can deal with a heckler, like Jimmy Carr, but he doesn’t have any material to actually perform otherwise. Some of it is just heckler bait while most of it is just tired tropes and angles.


  • Never in my life have I ever met a comedian so desperate to be the center of attention. And I worked the stand up circuit in Toronto.

    Every single thing that happens in the world this man has to try and somehow connect back to himself.

    Kanye comes out as a psychotic, unapologetic Nazi and what does Steve do? Make it about him for 3 fucking minutes. He openly says in the video that it’s a small company who doesn’t represent a whole lot of people. This could have easily been a Bsky tweet or something but nah. He spent 3 minutes telling people about his agency and giving them more attention than they would have gotten if he didn’t say a thing. The entirety of that video was just “Look at me! Dont’ forget about me! I’m relevant here too!” Made only worse by the fact that the information in his video is not even accurate. He said they had 12 comedians including him. Their website lists 16. So he’s just either making shit up or acting on outdated information without even bothering to verify anything. Why? Because he wanted to take the instant opportunity to make it about himself.

    Disgusting.

    Jesus fucking Christ can this man please fade into obscurity already?





  • I’m not sure what you’re referring to here.

    If you mean like to see who upvoted and who downvoted you, you can actually see that on Mbin. It’s a Lemmy fork that allows you to see exactly who upvoted and downvoted your comments or posts. Lemmy just didn’t add that function itself.

    If you mean a Karma total, because it just harbors a competition. If people are posting just to get their number higher then they don’t care about the community or engagement. They just want a bigger number on their account. I don’t post a fuckload because I want Karma, I post a fuckload because I like lemmy and wanna give it some content because I have saved content.


  • I can’t really speak for America outside of what I hear friends say but they seem fairly similar. I’m Canadian and it’s almost the same here as it is in Germany, with the exception of therapy. Psychiatrists are often covered by healthcare but have obscene wait times. Psychologists rarely are. There are some free intake ones and what have you but otherwise you’re paying.

    America also seems similar to us in that regard too. Sometimes certain docs might be covered by your insurance but if so their wait times are insane. The ones who aren’t cost an arm and a leg. People like 35 and younger seem more open to talking about mental health issues than any of the older generations.



  • See previous comments. Once again, your reading comprehension skills aren’t my problem. If you can’t understand, then just go away. In either case? I’m not wasting anymore time on you. Either you are incapable of grasping an extremely simple concept that everyone else has grasped or you’re just a troll. At any rate, you have a negative value in my life and aren’t even remotely worth the effort. Nothing can be gained when you are acting this way. You will never add anything of value. You have no worth in this conversation when you cannot follow along and I do not have the time, patience, or crayons to explain it to you.














  • Man, you have just actively avoided logic at every possible opportunity here. You’re just burying your head in the sand and screaming that everyone else is wrong. The downvotes isn’t because i’m popular, it is because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Have fun with that, I’m done wasting time on you. There’s no point in having a conversation with you if you’re just going to divorce yourself from reality like a Trump or Pollievre voter.

    Have fun with the bed you made. You aren’t worth a single second more of my time.




  • Yeah, and quick thing, but how do we go about getting rid of those they again?

    Oh yeah…

    By being an educated voter.

    I can be angry at ‘them’ all I want. I am. But I can be equally as frustrated with the infinite amount of fools who buy into that propaganda and think nothing more of it. I am not going to remove blame from idiots simply because they were swayed by propaganda from one side. They are still idiots who didn’t educate themselves, didn’t go further in and entrenched themselves in stupidity. Never thinking for themselves.

    I am done with this circular logic of “No, don’t blame the people who aren’t doing the literal ONE FUCKING THING that they have within their power to do! Blame someone else!” Equally as done with this conversation.
