It's honestly so bad. I watched a couple of episodes for Kat Dennings and Sean William Scott and mostly I'm just disappointed in them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

they took the paycheck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I typically like Tim Allen but this show is bad. It’s flat with no personality. I like the cast but the writing is bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I will say Kat Dennings is terrible in it. Honestly, if this was the only thing I ever saw her in, I'd think she was a terrible actress. But I've seen her in other stuff and she's not that bad in other things.

She just doesn't seem to even want to be in this show or something.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

I actually dig this show. It has potential. Not top of the line just yet, but Allen is pretty good in it.

Can you define "anti-woke?"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

You can look it up and find plenty of definitions.

No way will I get into that discussion on Lemmy of all places. Noooo way. lol

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, look at your username though. You chose the shoes, but you don't want to walk in them... all while posting about your shoes

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Lol, look at your username though.

So? "Spicy Lizards"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Your reticence makes my point for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

And your reply proves to me that you were just baiting me for the sake of trying to have a "gotcha" moment. I didn't fall for it.

You made my point for me. :)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The "gotcha" being you have no definition lmao

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (4 children)

No, the gotcha would be that after hearing my definition, you would start yelling out things and accusing me of believing shit I don't. lmao

You know exactly what the fuck "woke" means in this context. And you know what "anti-woke" means, but you wanna add connotations to it and to anyone who says it. I know you are really really itching to throw out some adjectives and tired stereotypes right now.

And I won't let you drag me into that. Google is your friend. Funny when I look it up, I find definitions. Odd that you don't seem to be able to. Maybe try again?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

So to be clear, you have no definition, and you deflect from that by imagining a scenario where I yell at you. I can understand why you wouldn't want your feelings to get hurt like that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh I have a definition. And so do you.

I'm under no obligation to explain my definition to you, however. Keep baiting. I ain't falling for it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Whatever meaning you've got in your brain is apparently one you're worried about getting yelled at for...don't leave me like this, I'm simply bursting with anticipation!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not worried at all about anything. I'm under no obligation to give you any definitions. Feel free to google.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know exactly what the fuck "woke" means in this context. And you know what "anti-woke" means

Well, no I personally don't. I live in a normal country so I had to read a shit garbagemail article to try to understand what it is about. The term woke is not used anywhere in it but from the few images I suppose it means: 100% white actor cast and probably 100% christian depiction marriage and couples.

So now I came to the conclusion that having a show that looks like the reality of 2025, like having a black neighbor, an Asian barista and an Indian IT dude is woke.

'k...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Well, no I personally don’t

So you don't know how to use google?! Because it's def not about "100% white actor cast and probably 100% christian depiction marriage and couples." You sound racist. Are you being racist?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't. Please explain "woke" and "anti-woke".

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It says its all about racism, but you're claiming different, so do tell.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't have to tell you anything. I'm under no obligation to explain anything to you. :)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Uh huh. That's what I thought. I'll be linking back to this comment a lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Funny you say that. I was just telling someone else that I refuse to get into detailed arguments with people in Lemmy because there are some who like to just argue, find a "gotcha" moment, then link to it when they stalk people they don't agree with.

So you link back to me saying "I'm under no obligation to explain anything to you" anywhere you want. Saves me the trouble of repeating myself. :)

I won't stop posting. And you haven't changed my mind at all. And I'm under no obligation to explain anything to you. It's glorious to watch how much that bothers you!

Link this part of our conversation too. lmao

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Woke is awake, so being blind is a flex?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No way will I get into that discussion on Lemmy of all places. Noooo way. lol

because you know the conservative position is petty and indefensible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, it's because I know the liberals on Lemmy are petty and will stalk and downvote anything they see that doesn't match their political views. :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

not even brave enough to try.

what a fuckin chickenshit position. you cry about big bad woke but can't even articulate why it's so bad, because downvotes?

You care about upvote downvote karma? but not your neighbors despising you?

pfftt.. get your priorities in order.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Lemmy is ban-happy. You know this. And you'd love to see conservative voices banned.

So you want to engage and try to get turn the conversation into something it's not, and then scream "Look, I got another one!" and file report after report after report to admin as you try to wear them down.

So nah, I'm not giving you that satisfaction.

Nice try tho! Hey, see if calling me more names will goad me into it. It worked for ya in second grade, right?

but not your neighbors despising you?

My neighbors don't despise me. They celebrate Trump and had parties when you all lost on election night. You do realize that the majority of voters voted for Trump, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Lemmy is ban-happy. You know this. And you’d love to see conservative voices banned.

why would someone ban you in your own pro-conservative community?

I said it was a chickenshit position, not being able to articulate a defense of your position. I didn't call you a chickenshit. But it is a chickenshit position.

yes, I'm sure your neighbors all love trump, and everybody clapped. If you're such a brave majority, tell me what's wrong with woke bud?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

why would someone ban you in your own pro-conservative community?

Some people ban others just based on them posting to other communities. I have no fear of that happening in this community because it's fair. Other communities are not that fair.

I said it was a chickenshit position,

No it's not. It's fucking Lemmy. You are taking this way too seriously.

If you’re such a brave majority, tell me what’s wrong with woke bud?

I'm under no obligation to explain anything to you. If you don't like the term or the headline or the article, please feel free to write a harshly-worded letter to the author of the article. I'm sure that will result in the world moving into the direction you want it to.

I didn't write the article and I am no forcing anyone to read it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m under no obligation to explain anything to you.

you can't. just admit it. pfft. what a shit show.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

You mentioned diversity. I mentioned I'm not white, thus I'm part of the diversity of Lemmy. I've never said nor have I implied anything racist.

You seem really mad over nothing.

I prefer last man standing better. This has the better cast but the writing is flat. I’m hoping they improve it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I prefer last man standing better.

Agreed. It was the better show. But I'm just happy to see Tim Allen continue to work.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I think once it finds its footing, it will be a better show. The cast is fantastic.
