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.

Exactly but I’ve been crucified in conversation for bringing the show up because he was on there.

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

what? Depends on the numbers I think.

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.

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.
