My niece has a birthmark that extends to her eye... it is just a slight discoloration... Once she was playing with her cousins and she had an actual bruise near her eye. I said "Did you hurt yourself, you have a bruise near your eye" she said "That's my birthmark" I said "no you have a bruise near your eye" she said "That's my birthmark"... Finally I pressed her bruise and she said "oh, I hurt myself on the playground"

[@goodbher9244]

That's cute AF. Kids are so sweet. poor girl is so used to people talking about her birthmark. ❤️

Android developers have to deal with millions of models)

The “women don't like history that much" bit, knowing how many references have been made about holding grudges and bringing up old stuff, almost killed me lol

[@RaquelFoster]

You heard 2:00 "How did I not see it before? Chicks love middle school history!" ... and your brain turned that into a comment about women holding grudges? 😬

[@ianjones9078]

@@RaquelFoster Well, never made it gender-specific, so there's that. Also, “a hit dog..." and so forth. I'd recommend doing what the majority's doing and enjoy her set. Be well and stay safe.

[@JCPRuckus]

​@@RaquelFoster - That's not even the joke they were referencing... Kinda hard to call someone out for making a logical leap when you don't even know where they supposedly leapt from.

[@samo9275]

What grudges/old stuff? genuinely confused

[@JCPRuckus]

@@samo9275 - Women always bring up old things they were mad about during a fight they're losing to distract from the argument at hand. That's why it's weird to say they "aren't into history". Because they always remember all types of petty relationship history when it suits them.

[@JerimeeRichir]

The video has so many great things. But my favorite is the dude in the audience at around 00:06:40 - he gets the joke like half a second late and his jaw literally hits the floor. It's like watching a baby discover ice cream for the first time. I love how much he loved the joke.

[@vakuraaaah]

“As easy as highlighting a word on your phone” is ancient prophetic-type wisdom. 😂

Throughout history, many have tried to explain, but it seems to have required the age of technology to fully demonstrate the technique. Well done modern woman. You have become the oracle for and from the information age. May your name live in legend.

Well I just plugged in my charger in the dark, doing fine - So Chloe: free Saturday?

[@lifeisrocqi]

Jehovah Witness here 😂 just a clarification that polyamory is not limited to triads/quads. Majority of people date separately from their partners. Polyamory is multiple intimate relationships with the consent of all involved. and for the commenters, Black Polyamorous Wife and Mother here who is also conventionally attractive. My husband and I have never been monogamous with each other and it's been 8 years. But the woman not being brave enough to end the relationship had me cracking up cause most often it is women who suggest polyamory to their male partners. I was one. Cause I realized I didn't need his commitment to monogamy. I was polyamorous individually though. And definitely hitting on the Google Calendar relational skill 😂 but the rest of Chloe's set had me dying!

[@FernLovebond]

Thank you for proving her point about how poly ppl won't shut up about it.

[@lifeisrocqi]

@@FernLovebond did you miss how I claimed it? The REASON we don't shut about it, is because there is A LOT of misinformation about it out there, but also why should we? Monogamous relationships are in every movie, tv show, song, and novel. Not to mention all the examples around us with family, friends, coworkers, and community members. Seems like as social creatures, we just don't shut up about relationships period. (Did you catch Chloe's set at all?) We exist and are valid so we are adding ourselves into the conversation. Besides, cheating is talked about in every single instance of those mononormative spaces so we're also saying, you can be ethical and consensual about your nonmonogamy.

[@FernLovebond]

@@lifeisrocqi Neighbor, it's comedy. It's not Wikipedia, and it's not her responsibility to check in with the massive variety of ways poly people behave and define themselves, some of which do not match with your statements (guess how I know). I'm aware of the ideals, and agree with your characterization as attempting to live by them, but she's got her own perspective, and it's funnier than yours.

[@lifeisrocqi]

@@FernLovebond yes the art of comedy is putting a different perspective on the truth. That's what makes it funny. I was never attempting to be. But what definition did you have of polyamory? My exposure is through FB groups, social media, articles, and books. And I follow some of the most popular educators as well as the academic research. But I am aware that in person polyamorous communities can be different. Especially older ones before the internet.

[@FernLovebond]

@@lifeisrocqi You might find this either annoying or funny: I really don't want to talk about my polyamory.
