  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.

  llol even mods don’t follow rules on reddit and there private subs where people do whatever the hell they want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  and we all know what reddit mods do.

  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 ⁨Why does lemmy have it, so any link takes you off the page instead of opening in a new window?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m aware of this and do this but its annoying when it could just open a new link away from Lemmy because so much of being on a lemmy instance for some reason involves me keeping Lemmy in one tab so I stay logged in… because if I leave… then I have to sign back in again.

  Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to communists who express support for one-party communist regimes that are associated with Marxism–Leninism, whether contemporary or historical. It is commonly used by anti-authoritarian leftists, including anarchists, libertarian socialists, left communists, democratic socialists, and reformists to criticise Leninism, although the term has seen increasing use by liberals and right‐wing factions as well

  So, not me. but still random lemmy users will screech tankie at me.

  way to suck all the cool out of it by being American.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, that’s what I figured since my experience has been have a job or be homeless and it really is my ass onto the street as soon as there is only small unemployment checks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t pay taxes, you’re arrested

  what? Depends on the numbers I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I get this sucks but you can quit your job and walk away from your employer, theoretically.

  Yeah and be homeless.

  And I don’t participate in government shit unless I have to like taxes cause they’ll come for me if I don’t pay for them kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah I use to work at a place that had “CSAT” I don’t remember what it stands for but a lot of companies use it and some use it more than others.

  Basically it’s the same but usually those surveys provide open ended comments where the customers can rip you a new one if they feel like they didn’t get what they wanted. You could be telling a customer no based on policy, and then a manage will see the bad review and use that to give you a talking to about work improvement.

  It’s so incredibly backwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree but that doesn’t really clear up what I was trying to understand?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I just imagine you as like a stiff Japanese business man and you’re constantly holding up a katana, waiting to cut someone’s head off for a petty crime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, they won’t do it anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And your example of people “ending up on the streets” is such a fucking edge case.

  It’s really not. See Portland, Oregon. It’s pretty much over run with homeless people at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Right? I’m trying to figure out how I could be a tankie but also in the US…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  sure, just sign up to like 10 credit cards, max them out getting good reliable camping equipment, and take a large loan out for one of those survival vans and flea the country

  This must be the same thought process of the people I see living in camping vans and tents down the street from me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The government is legally authorized to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, and even your life in extremis. Your boss can’t do any of that and if they try the government should stop them.

  there was just a work email put out where I work about how employees shouldn’t be going to the bathroom super often and if they are in the bathroom they should only be doing bathroom things.

  I can’t report them for that but it is fucking extreme and dehumanizing. To be policed in the bathroom. Because company time is more important than bodily functions. Or whatever other reason someone might be in the bathroom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? What’s wrong with someone having a say in who their boss is?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨it's weird that we are prepared to die for democracy, yet willingly enter dictatorships daily for work and spend the majority of our waking lives with people we vaguely know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  pay bills past their due.

  I hate that all my bills are like forced automation so I can’t plan out when I can pay them, I’m forced to pay them all at the beginning/end of the month - there’s no options to change the date any more and if you call up and ask, they get all weepy and apologize that they can’t offer a different date to pay.

  So I’m just forced to let them all go through and then play catch up cause of how I get paid not lining up with the end/start of every month.

  Thankfully my job will reimburse me for one of my bills but of course they take fucking forever to process the reimbursement.
