My father was deaf. I was told that I should not say he was deaf. I should say he had "hearing loss." Then I was told not to say "hearing loss," but to say "hearing impaired." Just recently, I came across the official City of New York guide to language. According to that guide, I'm now supposed to say my father was - - - deaf.

[@BL-sd2qw]

[@StormsparkPegasus]

You know, I can sometimes see "hearing impaired" vs "deaf", depending on the situation. Just depends on how much hearing loss you have. It's possible for someone to have a significant amount of hearing loss but not be deaf and still be able to hear to some extent. But yeah, "deaf" going to "hearing impaired" doesn't take nuance like that into account.

[@taylankammer]

Carlin is very hit or miss. He was polished but not. Mainly because he didn't test his material but spent months writing it. As for comedy there are many types. parody, satire, truths that sound like lies and lies that sound like the truth. Dark humor, stereotype humor. Mainly humor is bringing people along a story and flipping the ending in an unexpected journey. Or you can get comedy that is like andrew dice clay where it is expected and the journey is the joke. One thing to look for is if you only hear clapping and little to no laughter from the croud. That is something you hear at a ted talk on roadways.

Every white person should spend some time researching the subtle evolution of the word Nation's definition over the last 100 years.

Funny how as we're stripped of the language to define ourselves as groups we are also stripped of our land and property. That's probably just a coincidence though.

[@falonsfox2585]

@Tony Wilson Sorry for the TLDR, but I don't have to work today, and I think you probably interpreted my dog whistle correctly the first time and then generously chose not to leap to that conclusion. I am an unapologetic ethno nationalist, which is a phrase that had to be invented because words like patriot and nationalist have been corrupted (in my opinion deliberately). It's not that we're passively losing our identity. It's that we are being actively stripped of it. To be clear, I'm no fan of Trump, but during Trump's campaign Paul Ryan said Trump was a racist for claiming the Trump University lawsuit should not be presided over by a "Mexican" judge. Ryan said "to claim that someone can't do their job because of their race is pretty much the definition of racism". The media was quick to point out that the judge was born in Indiana. I used to be a liberal. One of the reasons I'm not anymore was watching liberals across the country pretend they didn't understand that Trump was very obviously saying the judge would be biased against him because of his campaign promises about cracking down on immigration and his claims that illegal immigrants from Mexico were rapists and criminals. When Trump called the systematic violation of our national sovereignty across the southern border a national emergency, the Mexican attorney general of California went on PBS to spew a bunch of nonsense about how it's somehow illegal for the federal government to enforce it's border laws. The importation of third world labor keeps wages down for working class Americans. Blacks are tricked into voting for it by being told immigration restriction from third world countries is racist. Whites are told opposing these policies is racist too, but since that doesn't always work, they're also told they're lazy, incompetent or entitled for not wanting to compete with desperate, starving denizens of the third world for jobs. Or they're forced to listen to some bullshit about free markets. I can't help but notice that wall street and the rest of the donor class would have benefited from either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush. Both were backed by the power structure of their respective parties, and both sought to court the growing Hispanic vote. I also can't help but notice that Bernie and Trump both wanted to put America's working class above immigrants and both were subjected to horrific attacks from within their own parties.

And not just any New Yorker. George strikes me as guttural inner-city Bronx. Likewise it's gratifying just to see the cast of SNL cutting Trump down to size (More New Yorkers roasting one of their own) 😂😂😂 I can't help but realize the relief George W. Bush & Dick Cheney must've experienced when Robin Williams died... In the name of corruption, criminalized but legalized & normalized capitalism- - now the truest of American traditions- - the media has completely sold out to our lovely political system. Now that Ted Koppel, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, Dan Rather, & numerous other unsung heroes are gone, investigative journalism, as the ultimate policeman of the government & the public's last line of defense, no longer exists. So now the entire political community & their true rich & powerful masters have exactly what they wanted all along: to do whatever they want whenever they want, no matter how felonious or murderous, & with no fear of punishment whatsoever. Not from the police, nor from the courts, nor from prison. Not even the certainty of public exposure! Now that the Press have abandoned the job, now we don't even have one maverick comedian left to hasten a political attack & open people's eyes to the truth when it is needed the most... And that is the final blow for me. I love my country: the lands, the wilderness, mountain country, & esp our people. But I'm finally leaving, before things really break apart at the seams, 'cause I don't see anyone or anything that's going to protects us- - the common people- - from the heartless tyrannical rich & powerful 1% anymore. There's nothing left in the law to stop them; no one left in law enforcement to stop them; nor are there enough lawyers that will stop them As far as I'm concerned, all that's left now is for civil war to take place. So now it's only a matter of time before the war that has been raging all along in the ghettos of East LA, of Chicago, & of New York city is going to engulf our entire nation.

*Soft Language is the worst thing we invented* *George Carlin is a forever legend* I feel like even if it had still been called shell shock Vietnam vets would still be ignored and that’s incredibly tragic.

[@presde34]

We like to lie to ourselves that is why we have the soft language. Wait never mind that was too direct. We like to participate in the escape of reality for our own mental well being and that why we have developed a mode of communication that is digestable for the faint of heart.

He was just out of this world. This is just not stand up commedy. It is pure art. Imagine the work memorizing just this short bit and do it so well. Amazing

[@thescramble4309]

i always imagine him in the mirror working out these monologues with animation.

Norm would say “people think Comedians are modern day philosophers… you know who that’s unfair to…? Modern day philosophers.”

[@conformistbastard9842]

You don't have to memorize how you really feel about things lol the man wrote books and all that, he'd been doing stand up since the 60's. Of course he could remember his comedy bit, he was one of the best comedians of all time. It is just stand up comedy though, it's already considered an art form even if you suck. Nobody likes shitty comedy so of course you have to be talented to succeed. Not that that applies to anything anymore, but it used to.

[@NorthernVideos-ev7jv]

He may have come billed as a "comedian" but, when one

[@briobrio6047]

Carlin wasn’t a a comedian He was just a funny philosopher...

[@Rob.N.]

Actually he was a philosophically skilled orator with comedic proficiency

Why not both?

History of the World Part 1, in ancient Rome Mel Brooks' character (Swiftus) was a stand-up philosopher.

If George was alive today he'd have a FIELD DAY with what's going on currently

[@MoreEvilThanYahweh]

I'm glad we never have to find out and be disappointed if he joins the PC people in the name of "fighting nazis".

[@KaeYoss]

But not until he'd ask you which field you mean, or if by day you mean calendar day or from waking up till falling asleepr, or maybe sunup till sundown.

I’m almost convinced this man was a prophet. It is currently 2024 and people are saying “unalived themselves” instead of suicide.

[@alara4006]

0:50 “two syllables, shell shock. *Almost sounds like the guns themselves*” of course his punchlines and commentary is great, but I love his poetic writing and descriptions too.

[@BrianRetro]

"Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder" Still eight syllables, but we added a hyphen!

[@vasharal38]

What made George so special was that he was really educated on a lot of matters. He spoke out of wisdom and made listening to it a blast. I miss this kind of comedy. Can we please have it back?

[@frankbanks4014]

My favorite word when George Carlin says it: “bullshit”...no one says it with as much passion as George did.

[@pepsyboo]

one thing I wanna point out - disabled people mostly hate "differently abled." We didn't come up with that shit, ables did. We're fucken disabled, that's a neutral term. Ableds just get so uncomfortable seeing disabled people that they feel the need to call us "differently-abled" or "handi-capable," but the issue with that is that you have to see us as less then in order to feel the need to give us a name that you think will make us feel "just as good as everyone else" about ourselves. I feel fine? I don't need special labels to like myself. What's my different-ability? The ability to have my joints sublux if I lie down on my back? The ability to... fall over & get more injured than an abled would? The ability to look pregnant when I'm not due to bloating? I'm disabled. I'm fine with that. I don't feel the need to do the things my disability disallows me to do. If you call me differently-abled, I take it as a virtue-signal.

[@petergoldstein5455]

Today in Germany (not 10 years ago these people did), they say "You can reach EVERY Goal, u want" to an - ALSO VIEWABLE - handicaped person. (If not, it´s your responsibility, wish) And to Persons with undiscribeable Pain, like in Paris with the Terror Attack to the surviving Friends and Husbands/Wifes: "I HAVE THE SAME PAIN AS U"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unbelieveable...the Narcissism is not killable, but also not to get under controll, like Laws would do. Sorry, but with 51 I have to say...the humans are fucked up, cause they fuck all up, they are able to. The only species, who knows Love????? Which is selfless???? WHAT??????? WWHHAATT????
