I’m unpopular today. Oh well, lol

Lemmy honestly getting worse lately. Like there’s no nuance and no chance to discuss anything unless you agree with a very narrow, “acceptable” mindset.

Now do fox and MSNBC!

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.

Ehh, landlords house. Doesn’t owe them anything. The system sucks but the guy just lives inside the same system as the rest of us.

Honestly what people who are landlords for 1 or 2 places do isn’t that bad. It’s the 40% of households being owned by corporations, who are willing to keep them vacant, causing the majority of the pressure (Intentionally, btw)

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 seem to do that.

The most recent viral moment I can remember is the Bill Maher episode from Sept 2

Here it is, jumping in talking about Biden https://youtu.be/4btqj2Ghk04?si=Ug6eNsPM67kcatDN

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.

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.

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 known, because the media is a stilted propaganda machine.

Think again. We have the middle left in Canada and it’s the same shit

Yeah at your direction I fixed a late night error. Point would be it doesn’t matter who governed, did things get worse for everybody everywhere all at once? Yup!

Point is its irrelevant… Every country right left or sideways could say things got worse under their governance

Fixed

For fuck sake

I mean fucking obviously it’s gotten worse “under the Tories” but what a loaded and useless question.

How about, "Are you confident things would have been any different under anybody else?

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.

I didn’t mean stop living with parents I meant stop failing.

Shit, I failed for most of my 20s and then it got worse. Waaaaay fucking worse, like, I Mean it when I say worst than for most people. I don’t really want to get into it here, but bad.

And then I learned some lessons and worked my ass off and here we are.

So! Stop? You’re 30, not 70

Literally everyone I know does, though. It’s your calendar, your email, your communication. The only jobs I can imagine that you don’t need to have a mobile device are when you are a drone who has to sit where the boss tells you all day long. Even then, your work likely communicates with staff via text or an app.

Has it been awhile since you worked somewhere?

Lol I don’t know. I guess if you work at Amazon or something having one could be considered optional. My job is literally dependant on my cell phone, and my ability to handle emails calls and texts while away from the office is a core of my ability to earn enough money to pay my bills.

If I didn’t have a cell phone for even 1 day, I would make $0 that day at my job.
