Our office I'm actually going to give them props for this - they do these events during work hours. Summer bbq? Close office 4 hrs early and it's free drinks and food for everyone. Annual golf event? Tuesday at noon, you can work or you can golf, your call.
Granted I'm too busy to partake for the most part but I'm not a clock puncher, and if I was, I'd appreciate the effort.

quietly? It's loud as fuck.
The world is, loudly, starting to become a little too much like the first quarter of the last century. And it isn't good, man.

I mean, it sounds like he has a point? Perhaps another judge should sentence him to prison instead, just so they don't have grounds for an appeal on this.

Indeed.
Weird like, I'd rather seventy three companies and all world governments not know what I'm literally talking about in my bedroom with my wife, so I'm weird?
Yikes.

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.

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.

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!
Screwthehole 1y ago • 20%
Point is its irrelevant... Every country right left or sideways could say things got worse under their governance

For fuck sake
So. You've got everyone scared of the evils of socialism because of the red scare and the cold war, and so nobody too far left is ever electable. Got it. Why aren't people afraid of going too far right (ie the Nazi party was the probably the furthest right party ever elected). I don't see how you could be any less afraid of that outcome? Isn't the only sane view to steer clear of either extreme? Why is it that the dirty socialism word is so much more terrifying than fascism? I'm so lost. Anyone got some help for me?
Pretty prophetic doc, holy!
Had to take the cone off for supper but she's being a good girl

Usually used reddit on rising sort, not an option here. But new is like reddit new, so much garbage like my post here. But how do you not miss out on everything?
Just saying hi from my deck
So in the past few months I’ve consumed three body trilogy, the bobiverse, expanse series, dogs of war (meh), quantum earth x2 (meh) and project hail Mary. I really enjoyed most of these, with dark Forest being my favourite read lately. What should be in my reading list next, as I get close to the end of the expanse books?

Infuriating as I can’t read a thing. Every time I stop to read new posts just bump it down and it’s gone. How to edit this setting? Please help - new here. I want to like it but this isn’t working so far. Body
