White guys saying the N word and being gangsta. There is nothing ever cool about a white guy pretending to be ghetto. Yes I’ll include Eminem and I don’t care if he’s been given the pass.

  • People who call others cringe can be pretty cringe. Also people who generalize – e.g. via “all people who call others cringe are cringe” – is a cringe. Also people who stay noncommittal, avoiding vulnerability under layers of irony, can be pretty cringe too.

    Why are you conflating “ghetto”, “gangsta,” and black? 95% of it is about where and how you grew up.

    There’s plenty of white guys who, although will never experience and understand what it’s like to live in America while black, understand the struggle of growing up in the ghettos, being socioeconomically alienated, and being pressured to look to the “gangsta” lifestyle.

    These three can often overlap, but are importantly separate things. A white guy in that situation won’t know what it means to be black like I do, but I will never have a fraction of their knowledge and experience of what it means to grow up to the streets.

    Large office buildings have been cringe to me for a few years. And wearing suits to the office, which just look like personalised school uniforms to me.

    • It’s set as an example. To you know, help people get an idea?

      Who the fuck bothers putting their answer as the first comment? What do you think this is, Reddit? Where they don’t even allow you to put anything in the body after asking a question, like on AskReddit, so they want you to waste your time putting it as the first comment.

      Go back to Reddit.

      • By leaving your answer as the first comment it still sets an example for people who find the thread. It also prevents top level comments from being responses to your opinion instead of answers to your question. As it stands, many of the top level comments here are about what qualifies as gangsta instead of what makes them cringe.

        Go back to Reddit.

        This made me cringe.

    • Hey guys, gals, and Jofans! It’s ya boy, Jofa, and we’re here with another video about how to use the ping command!

      So, today we’ll be teaching you about ping. But first, I want to apologize for my upload schedule. I’ve been having a lot of trouble lately, my bicycle broke down, I got a papercut, and my wife’s dad’s brother’s dog-walker-in-law crashed my divorce, but that’s a story for another time. Anyway, it’s time to start our… can you believe it? #500 Skill Videos. sips water That’s like a 500th anniversary of skills. Speaking of skills,

      Alright, enough rambling. Here’s how to use the ping command. Ping was invented by bucket makers when they realized dropping a coin in a bucket made a sound. ping… let’s see. Oops, typo. Anyway, that’s what it looks like!

      Random shit until 10:00

      Thanks for watching my video! Be sure to like, subscribe, hit the bell, hit up my Patreon, send ETH, and become a channel member! My Discord is in the description. Jofout!

  • Evopsych type dudes.

    They made up a whole pseudoscience to “explain” their inability to form meaningful bonds with other humans. And in the process broadcast to everyone they are on the spectrum but refuse to accept it.

    Like my dude, I too have trouble intuiting the rules of proper social interaction and wonder where the manual everyone but me got is. But it’s not because of some made up bullshit about the pleistocene. It’s because I’m autistic, and it’s high time you got your ass checked.

    Diva covers of songs that don’t fit the emotional tone of the song because they’re too busy showing off their vocal cords.
    And people who love these songs.

    I can’t currently think of any particular women responsible for this,
    or particular songs, but I’m quite sure it must have been Christmas song covers,
    turning “Jingle Bells” into Aretha Franklin’s “Dr. Feelgood”.
    The only particular song I can come up with, is Michael Bublé’s “cry me a river”
    and whoever plays the instruments during his version,
    so this is not just a mostly female phenomena.

    [edit] I’m pretty sure it’s Ariane Grande now.
    Great singer but not very adaptable.
    And probably missing the point of Mariah Carey’s christmas song popularity,
    the original one as I’ve just seen newer Hallmark music video
    where the video theme no longer matches the song.
