In all seriousness, where the line between funny and offensive is drawn is completely subjective. My line is obviously different than others. I didn't feel that my puns were personally directed at anyone and I didn't see them as perpetuating any harmful stigma or stereotypes. It uses a word I wouldn't actually use in daily life but the pun wouldn't work otherwise. Life has a lot of legitimate malicious people out there that there's no need to split hairs to find more. There is no subjective way to look at what the IDF did in this case. It is objectively malicious and evil. I didn't expect my puns to be the thing that upset people.

I thought of another joke. Being mindful, I've hidden the punchline. You've been warned!

Say the guy here was Hamas. Do you think he'd carry...a .38 Special?

GNU/gle

Or as I've taken to calling it, grep

With jokes this controversial I'm hoping to score a Netflix special

it does hurt a bit to see it.

Oh man, you're not going to like what the IDF did.

Modelo Especial, Michelob Ultra and Bud Light. Those are the recent sales rankings of the top three beers in the U.S., according to data shared by Bump Williams consulting firm.

All three are owned by the same mega corp, Anheuser-Busch InBev. Mission accomplished.

Never ask a man his salary, a woman her age, or Kyle Gass what he wants for his 64th birthday.

All I know is that referring to someone as a "trap" is offensive. The term comes from these kinds of memes (being "tricked" into finding someone attractive before knowing what genitals they have). So I guess the idea is that the word is offensive, but the memes can still be posted, as long as you don't talk about why the meme is funny?

I did contract negotiations for a while. Something that I always remember being told was "you can't be more excited to sign than the other person". It'll lead to you making bad deals. If the other side doesn't want to sign, neither do you.

My boss always said he preferred no contract over a bad contract. I once suggested that even a contract that pays out a bit is better than nothing. He countered by saying there's an opportunity cost in fulfilling a contract. We could be too busy fulfilling poor contracts that we have no time to negotiate and accept good ones. In that case, a poor contract could be seen as less valuable than nothing. I've had negotiations that lasted less than 15 minutes. I give a standard quote, they'd lowball, I'd say there's no way, they said they'd leave, I say here's the door. Done.

Imagine the timeline of Trump getting assassinated and Biden dying of COVID within weeks of each other.
