Now do fox and MSNBC!
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Counterpoint - you’re cherry picking. He also invites left wing guests and gives them the same opportunity to speak.
He has a vast audience because a more centrist view of things appeals to a huge # of people. Your description of his audience is reductive and close minded. Yep, there are people who fit that description. And there are going to be others who fit every other description you can write down, too. Why? Because hundreds of millions of people listen.

You’ll see him try to criticize Biden but Maher doesn’t let him, because he just keeps going back to how much worse trump is. While probably correct, Rogan just wanted to dump on the prez without talking about trump, and Maher can’t seen to do that.

The most recent viral moment I can remember is the Bill Maher episode from Sept 2
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Bigot is a strong word for him. I guess if you are pro-trans athletes in sports you would find him that way, but I can’t really think of other issues where he expresses close minded views? Fucking guy learns and changes his mind when presented with evidence, which is a huge reason I can listen to him. Even if some of the subjects and guests are kinda fucked up or dull or misinformed.
Like, tulsi gabbard last week reading a thing from the UN and totally either misunderstanding it, or worse, twisting it into saying something it 100% wasn’t. And Rogan was just kinda like “I dunno maybe” as he’s not very confrontational, very often.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
His recent viral moment discussing Biden was about how he’s no longer lucid, and shouldn’t be let to run for a second term. His guest was trying to say how much worse trump was, but Rogan doesn’t really think either ought to be president in 2024.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
I enjoy Rogan. I hear shit I should know without the msm slant.
Some of his guests are batshit crazy, but I think he just gives a platform to everybody. You know, free speech is also freedom to disagree. But censorship isn’t good, and he’s not about that.
From time to time his guests say some ridiculous shit though. I’d say I agree with maybe 40% of the content, disagree with 40%, and am neutral or uneducated on the 20% in the middle. It’ll spur me in to read / listen to other topics and expand my knowledge base so I can form an opinion.
There’s a load of shit brought up on Rogan you might otherwise have not know, because the media is a stilted propaganda machine.
- Comment on What are some alternatives to bars that stay open late for folks that don't drink alcohol? 1 year ago:
We have a sandwich shop that runs 24 hrs from Tuesday morning until Saturday night. I’ve picked up late night supper there and seen people playing cards, etc and just generally hanging out for long stretches.
When I was younger my buddies and I went to a 24 hr diner and played magic into the wee hrs, occasionally leaving only when the earliest breakfast crowd started to roll in.
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
Dude scroll up. Unless buddy edited the post, this entire response thread was a reply calling for reducing ceo pay to fix the ratio. Which I maintain, despite all the name calling, doesn’t fucking help anything at all
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
Oh my fucking God. What do you think we are talking about here?
Guy said lower ceo pay to increase the ratio.
Pay ceo 400,000, workers wages stay the same. How the fuck does that help?
Pay ceo 15 million and pay workers 485,000. Same ratio. Now we got somewhere.
People who want to enforce equality by imposing a ceiling are stupid. Impose equality by raising the floor. Who gives a fuck about the ceiling?
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
You need some reading lessons. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP?
THE GUY SAID CEO PAY IS TOO HIGH. WHO GIVES A FUCK AS LONG AS WORKERS EARN ENOUGH MONEY?
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
They were talking about reducing ceo pay, which who cares?
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
Sure I am. If employees made $90/hr the ratio would be significantly improved. It’s not the ratio that’s the actual problem here. You get that right?
- Comment on CEOs of top 100 ‘low-wage’ US firms earn $601 for every $1 by worker, report finds 1 year ago:
That’s just bringing down the top without helping anyone. Need to lift from the bottom instead
- Comment on How do you call a word that is so rudimentary that it can't be defined without being redundant? 1 year ago:
These, either, neither
All can be explained but the explanation is certainly more complicated than simply understanding the word(s)
- Comment on How do you call a word that is so rudimentary that it can't be defined without being redundant? 1 year ago:
I think you can always define a word using other words, without repeating the word in question. Just sometimes you have to take a pretty wide circle and the explanation can end up complicated

Phone calls are for immediate concerns that’s why you need to answer your phone. No one will call you unless it’s important

I found it very small. Smaller than my mid size SUV I was replacing and I couldn’t even get in the driver seat. But obviously ymmv

Ford had new rangers on the lot when I was shopping for my truck

Right. Not wealthy enough to have separate vehicles for personal. And work
