Sarah Silverman's furiously-backpedaling follow-up to yesterday's post

What kind of ghoul has this reaction to weed? I'm usually laying on the floor dictating my last will and testament while apologizing profusely to my bf for being a gross weirdo after misjudging the dose of the edible
She wasn't gonna be genocidal until she got high (ooh ooh ooh)
She was gonna get up and find her soul, but then she got high
Her brain is still messed up and I know why (Why man?)

I usually just reenact skits from I Think You Should Leave
Why just last night I did the whole "The bones are their money!" song on guitar and my partner kept throwing stuffed animals at me while asking "WHAT ARE YOU SINGING?"
I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zags and this bag of this weed, it gives me the shit needed to be the most meanest MC (mid comedian) on this, [puff] on this Earth
But for real, I'd stop smoking if I was her
Yeah I don't give a single flying fuck about any of those hostages until the IDF admits how many of them are soldiers. They keep pushing this line like they're all poor little innocent civilians (putting aside that there's no such thing as an innocent settler). Same with the death counts.
I am going to continue assuming all Israeli hostages and casualties are IDF soldiers until they admit that the majority are in fact soldiers
Hamas is also being reasonable. They're saying, "can you stop bombing us for two seconds, and then maybe you can get some hostages back?"
Yeah meanwhile the IOF on like the first day said they'll bomb the fuck out of them regardless of the hostages.
That alone is enough to make me believe they're almost all soldiers because there's no way the Israeli public would be OK with the IOF wiping out their own women and children, whereas for IOF troops that's already been the policy.
The Israeli government doesn't give a fuck what the Israeli public thinks though
there's no way the Israeli public would be OK with the IOF wiping out their own women and children
Have you met the israeli public? They don't give a shit about anything other than making sure the zionist regime succeeds and will sacrifice their newborn children to do so. My wifes parents literally told her from a young age that the only reason they had all their kids (6) is to support israel and have straight up disowned her when she simply stated Palestinians are people too way back in 2014 and they havent talked since then lmao.
also there is the very real risk that Israel will blow up the hostages in one of their attacks on Gaza
Also there's no such thing as a civilian in their society. Every adult is not only a veteran (or criminal) but I'm pretty sure they're all subject to being mustered if Israel mobilizes.
Personally I think being a hostage is better than being dead
Getting totally blitzed and celebrating genocide is practically a national pastime at this point so can you really blame her?
God forbid women have hobbies. People's misogyny is really showing rn
More. 
Women. 
Imperialists. 
Funny I just get stoned and cry with my partner about the hospitals and homes full of children we’ve seen be obliterated day after day. Must be different
Must be a different strain, u no?
I still don't understand what the NASA thing has to do with anything. Is it like everyone makes mistakes? Or like the men criticizing me don't understand that women go Hitler-mode when they smoke that loud?
Like just overall how do you think this makes you look better.
She thinks she's saying even the smartest organization makes mistakes, but all I'm reading is, "I'm just like the Nazis!"
edit: removing ableist language, my bad.
Yeah, she could have made that part a lot clearer
I'm pretty sure that's just a pocket sand tier diversion
Wait I'm confused I thought pocket sand was S-tier
I was hoping someone would explain it in the comments here because I have no fucking idea
Proper sex ed in this country would have told her that smoking marijuana during menstruation can cause genocidal tendencies
I think what she's saying is, here is this anecdote of some engineers not knowing how (cis) women work, anyone calling me out on my bullshit is sexist like those men. I think? Like this is me grasping at straws, I fully don't understand what she means. Maybe it's like others have said though, "even smart people make mistakes" or whatever, but it feels like a weird pull for just that idea.
Putting aside this, while yes obviously the 100 tampons story is extremely funny it's also potentially not that crazy? Maybe an afab comrade will tell me this is a bad take but tampons are pretty light, NASA already lives and breathes redundancy, and it's not like they go bad, so why not throw in a bunch of extra? Obviously I'm sure a lot of it was just that yeah the NASA nerds don't know how periods work and this is an absurd amount of extra but I feel that story is overblown. Will do self crit if there's something deeper about it I'm missing
IIRC the guys in charge of packing the personal items for Sally Ride's trip to the ISS asked her how many she would need, and she gave them a high "worst case scenario" estimate. Sally told the story as a kind of funny thing that happened to her while preparing to go to space, and people re-telling the story draw all kinds of conclusions about what it means. IMO it's a fairly benign example of how a homogeneous workplace has blindspots in their experience.
She's actually high now and was sober before.
The impression I got is that she was implying that the people who were criticizing her over her comment were largely men who, being men, don't have the emotional intelligence to understand what it's like to care about hostages.
No idea but I assumed it's an internalized misogyny joke? Like "I'm a woman, we're emotional and erratic ok!"
duuuude mellow out maaan. Have some genocide 
Olimar did settler colonialism and he's cute and likeable as he slaughters the natives!
Bullshit excuse but hey, bullying works
Reading this, I feel like I'm having a stroke. What is she saying?
Lol I'm so random, you all like weed right? Tee hee
I think that's basically it.
holds up spork

When I get drunk I just get more gay
Kinda weird to blame being blitzed when you're always blitzed. At some point you got to accept that you're an asshole at baseline.
Tom is smoking his pipe right now and genocide isn't on the table.
Jesus, just say that you didn't understand what the actual situation in Gaza was like and that you played into a narrative. I'd still think you were a cruel idiot but at least you'd acknowledge some wrong doing and show signs of improvement
Usually when I get stoned I just listen to Kyuss and post dumb memes.
I cry to reaction videos of I'm not a racist, like a real ally.
Waking up from my weed induced coma to 20 texts from Sam Seder screaming at me for doing an oopsie
The Roseanne defense
The weed probably only lowered her inhibition barrier so basically it revealed who she really is.
