    Later on, George swipes when she shows a picture to get even, finds out she supports the wrong baseball team, and spends the rest of the episode trying to break up with her without revealing whybecause she’d find out that he swiped.

    It would be fun to make a “No Swipe Image Viewer” app that lets you pick an image to share - and then presents some searing penalty like a screamer to anyone who swipes to the side.

    Just be warned, not for the elderly or faint of heart.

    The League already did something about this…and yes it was basically a more modern version of Seinfeld.

    It used what I call the “four psychopaths” format. Seinfeld invented it and…it’s always sunny in philadelphia uses the same format.

      By did something about this I assume you mean did an episode on this subject, not did something to stem the tide of illicit swiping.

        More like a little bit about it in one of the episodes. The League was based on a fantasy football league if you never watched it, and the episode featured one of the people discovering something due to “illegal swiping” and one of the NFL referee people guest starred and called him out on it.

        It’s a pretty funny show even if you aren’t into football.

    Never hand a boomer your phone. Especially an elderly boomer, and especially if that boomer is your mother. They will always start swiping. It’s like their brain just deflates. Their eyes glaze over. They get this wide, tranquil smile, as if to say, “Hot dawwg! This boundless collection of photos I’ve been handed is going to be a real treat!”, and they just start swiping. They just start fucking swiping.

        I’d rather not have Jerry either tbh, he doesnt seem to think he can be funny without being somehow hateful apparently.

          Jerry is a Zionist loser who heard “never again” and thought “yeah, let’s exterminate the Palestinians so that no genocide will happen again”

        It’s human to lose your shit sometimes. I think he sincerely apologised.

        Edit: ok I’ve done some soul searching and I’ve realized that I don’t really care who they are off set. Be they racists, communists, or nazis IRL, if what they say on the show is funny to me, I’m gonna watch it.

          I’m usually like this if it’s a one time thing. In his case IDK I just said that because other people still say he is an asshole. But I won’t support people that we know are not sorry and would still do it if they could, even if they are famous. Like the unhinged Kanye.

            Modern people with the collective knowledge of humanity at their fingertips think any transgression against their standards merits permanent exile into the desert, like in the Bible. Redemption is impossible in the new age of enlightenment.

            I see. Very unfortunate. Racism is complicated and more deeply rooted the most will realize and accept. What he said isn’t okay and never will be. I hope he’s grown since then and made amends for his mistakes.

              I think he has moved on from what he did. He was in a semi-recent episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry and I seem to remember they spoke briefly about it. Maybe not, though.

              Unfortunately for him though, there are no take-backs. Nor should there be. He metaphorically hit the lottery, and wasted all his winnings right there on that stage.

            Nope sorry, you’re not allowed to learn from your mistakes anymore. Unless you rationalize that boomers made your actions unavoidable.

              Question for you:

              Let’s say the cashier at the local supermarket calls a customer some slurs. Someone records it on their phone. it blows up. Should the supermarket fire them?

                  Fired? Yes.

                  Banned from all other jobs? No.

                  Banned from jobs that are customer service related? Yes.

                  Banned from jobs that are customer service related forever? No.

                  Being cancelled should be treated like a timeout. You won’t eat your peas, fine no dessert. Well try again tomorrow.

    I was watching a cpl episodes of Seinfeld last night, and it seemed like half the plotlines would have been moot if everyone had a cellphone.
