- Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’ 10 months ago:
If you have to rile the audience to be funny, you’re not funny.
But there is a “gray option” here. I read this as “you can rile up the audience and be funny, just not if that’s the only thing you do”, in context with the previous point that this sort of humour is overused and loosing its impact.
- Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"? 11 months ago:
This isn’t the reason, it doesn’t matter if Hamas accuses them or not.
They’re considered hostages because Hamas wants to release them in exchange for something.
Israel imprisons Palestinian as a punishment or to achieve specific goals that are not met by releasing them (like preventing political prisoners from engaging with society).
I don’t think either term is morally superior to the other, but they do have some different connotations…
