Right? Like the person who was insisting he was always bald due to some weird blind hatred. Like the guy use to just be a dumb stand up comedian/actor. As far as I remember he wasn’t outspoken in the 90’s like he is now.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Exactly but I’ve been crucified in conversation for bringing the show up because he was on there.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Newsradio was a fantastic show. You think it was filled with bad acting? How much of it did you watch?
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Remember that fucking jackass, Ben Shapiro that he had on all the time?
I think it was Tony Hitchcliff who’s a stand up who was on Rogans show fucking begging him to not have stupid ass Shapiro on anymore and Rogan kept defending the guy and Tony was just like, dude… that guy is a fucking dork who makes you look bad. Stop having him on.
Honestly one of the funniest interactions I heard on the podcast where his actual friend is begging him to stop this nonsense and he just won’t do it.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
You know, I once tried to explain to someone on reddit that Joe Rogan wasn’t always bald and there is evidence of this when he was on Newsradio and he had a full head of hair back then.
Idiot on reddit just kept arguing that he was always bald and didn’t even care that video evidence was being posted because it was more important to hate Rogan than to accept factual evidence of something so incredibly minimal on the scale of things.
Like why would it be important if he was bald or not? And why would hating him be more important than something being a fact?
Anyway, I asked cause I love Newsradio but often can’t talk about it because people will either figure out that Joe Rogan was on there, or they already know and then think I’m a psychotic alt right idiot.
All because I watch a show that existed before that guy was ever doing a podcast.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about in regards to what I was saying?
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
Some people do things like this under the idea that you should keep your enemies close. Like you should always know your enemy and in order to do that, you have to be right there, listening to what the enemy is saying.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
i meant that the person i know is not qanon
Part of this is bad phrasing because you are unaware of the movement but no one knows who Qanon is.
What people are talking about in this thread are people who follow the movement, and not who Qanon is. Of course your friend isn’t Qanon. That would be absurd.
But how do you know they aren’t posting on 4chan and following the movement? Is that what you are trying to say, that they don’t follow that sort of thing because you think its a movement that solely rooted in American politics?
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
i don’t think we have those kind of people here in asia
qanon is a 4chan/8chan thing that is part of www - that includes people posting from Asian countries. There are definitely Asians on there. There were definitely Asians who went along with that movement.
I’m Asian too. Has nothing to do with the qanon movement.

Wow… Maher on Rogan.
Can we pause and talk about how Maher is wearing a fucking Family Guy Star Wars shirt.
- Comment on What are the connotations of Joe Rogan? 1 year ago:
I immediately assume that once someone brings up Joe Rogan they are easily susceptible to authoritarian propaganda and should be avoided.
What if they’re just talking about his previous acting career?
- Comment on [Weekly thread] What is the best movie you watched last week? 9 September 1 year ago:
I finally watched Freeway 2: Confessions of Trickbaby. I loved it even though its pretty offensive for also being super progressive for its time. Totally not what I ever expected either.
It’s a big deal to finally watch it because it was one of those VHS covers I would see at the rental store growing up and I was dying to see it but there was no way my mom was going to let me watch a movie that was rated R. So it was always a mystery what the movie was for a long time and I really only knew that it had Natasha Lyonne in it who at the time, I had a crush on.
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 1 year ago:
I’m constantly having to block porn shit on tumblr and all the stupid bots that come with it.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
Yes and I believe I once saw an old recording of the guys from Alice In Chains doing like a live broadcast there for MTV. Pretty sure it was an episode of Headbangers Ball.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
I wish I had that rule back when I had roommates, one of which would constantly beg their wife to get delivery. It always caused arguments and would hold things up too much.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
hmmm… has a square but doesn’t have a 24 hour Wal Mart… Portland?
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
Late 30’s. I don’t always spend money when I go out and if I do have to spend its usually on cheap public transit to get somewhere else. I often leave the house and just walk around town. Good exercise and I’m not always stuck at home driving my cat bonkers.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
We have an agreement that if we say NO to 5 restaurants, we’re having for tacos
I love this rule.

Death is a part of life, I get it but I’m not going to be unempathetic piece of jaded trash over it.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
look, I saw a post on another site where someone was making fun of these people and making fun of the person who died. That’s just edgelord shit in my book.
If you want to get all technical about a word, whatever, I’m not here for that kind argument. What is tragic to some isn’t to others obviously. Empathy sure is going out the window and people will do anything to justify being a piece of shit apparently.
And don’t sit here and tell me what I don’t care about. You don’t fucking know.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
ohhh. I thought you were roleplaying at first!
- Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances 1 year ago:
But I think it’s reasonable to tell people to use the search to find communities that interest them, curate your home feed, and be aware that diving into the “All Federated Content” feed will show you stuff that’s a) not particularly useful or b) potentially offensive to your sensibilities.
I was just using lemmy explorer to look for communities and didn’t realize some were just bots cross posting until I looked again later in my feed. I was disappointed.
- Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances 1 year ago:
I know I accidentally subbed to some when I was looking for communities to add to my feed. I need to go through and remove them now that I know what they are.
- Comment on September 1 - 3, 2023 - Weekend Box Office (Estimates) 1 year ago:
oof I looked it up and its a teen sex comedy.
I thought those died off in the early 2000s.

That does seem to be a huge drawback in Canada. So many things aren’t available there.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
Are you just using the definition of tragedy here? We can’t have any nuance about this?
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
but if you’re not losing sleep for the tens of thousands that die of starvation each year
I guess I’m just one of those people then. the worlds problems do tend to keep me up at night.
I legit have a hard time sleeping. Because all I can think is, everything sure does suck and people die for the wrong reasons.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
me too but here we are.
