Can you link your stand up here?

i'm not even sure what this is but it's a recording of me.



edit: it's 20 minutes at an open mic. there is a decent video coming soon of a really fun stand up/burlesque show (my avi is actually from that). this is what i got on hand for now. not about to dig through my flash drive atm.

I don't believe it's the secret to life.

It is, tho. It's inherently secret. Just look at the language people use to get around even say that they lie. Rephrasing, positive positioning, etc...and then they have the nerve to say honesty is the best policy. Without lying our society would crumble. There would be literally zero functional heterosexual relationships. Why is it so hard to give lies their props? You're sounding lowkey ungrateful.

i did a standup routine around ethics once
it went pretty well
i kept pretending to move imaginary goalposts around
i'm trying to remember some punchlines
keep getting distracted by the game

when benjamin franklin presented his 12 virtues..
he explained that you should either work to achieve them
or learn how to fake them
practicing/achieving them was best, true..
but faking them would still bring some benefit

This thread sounds like something George Costanza would say

Nah money....money is the secret to life. To get even more specific, making obscene amounts of money as a boss of your own shyt, is the secret to life.

Matter of fact let me paraphrase my favorite movie...

Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That the secret to winning at life is that I have to lie, cheat and steal?

Morpheus: No Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready to boss up and get that gwap...you won't have to.

Neo: :dwillhuh::ohhh::myman::wow:

You keep sayin' it's the secret to life because people do it. But people do everything that has been done. Lyin' is no more the secret to life than tellin' the whole truth, sayin' nothin', sayin' a little, sayin' things twice, yellin', wisperin'... By your theory, everything is the secret to life.

Please explain how society would crumble without lies.

I have a functional heterosexual relationship and I don't lie to my woman.

I'm not buyin' your claims. I think you're just not comfortable doin' what you do, so lyin' becomes necessary to get over. Maybe you should address that.

I agree to an extent but not lie about everything. Just use it as a secret weapon that you use when you have to. Because at this point, the world is so fukked up, honest people are getting rarer by the day... nikkaz lie about everything and most womens whole appearance is a lie. How the fukk you gonna survive in that type of world as a truly honest person? The answer is If you cant beat them join them.

But be careful lie too much and you might start to forget who you really are :wow:
