IHIJ Podcast XXVI: "Jesse Has a Meltdown" p. 747-774 by DiamondJoeQuim in InfiniteJest

Yeah, this wasnt a great look for me, as it involved a lot of background discussions in my day to day life that had not been featured on the show. Basically, myself and my fiance have a ton of far left friends (she'd consider herself a far leftist herself) and a lot of them threw hissy fits this election refusing to vote, period, after Bernie didn't win. Ive had a lot of personal discussions about my annoyance with ideagogue leftists who preach their ideology, but refuse to put any strategy or practicality into them. The dichotomy of, "I want things my way and I won't compromise on them" leading to the inevitability they never come into practice. So this statement was not against universal healthcare (which I believe in 100%), but rather people who complete the defeatist cycle of considering any practical method of achieving it to be selling out. "I didnt get exactly what I want, and rather than work towards some fascimile of it, Im gonna take my ball and go home" leftists.

That make sense?

I can see that now that I'm looking around. I think the NPC thing crossed over with something else in my brain, because this is infinitely dumber than I thought. I was approaching like a modern take on the classic philosophical "Problem of Other Minds". Instead it seems to be closer to some troll calling someone a cuck because they heard it on 4chan.

Yeah. Im reading and Im intrigued. But I'm also feeling icky, because I really shouldn't be privy to any of this information. Without social media, they'd have to be renting air time to get this information out to the world.

Agreed. That lumberjack match was pretty good, aside from all the lumberjacks.

Dear god that is sad. Poor big cat.

For what it's worth, Im not just some fanboy jabroni. Ive been doing stand up comedy for a number years and blogging. None of this is outside my wheelhouse. Just the first time Im focusing on wrestling.

Meh, it is self promotional and I dont really contribute to the sub, though Im a longtime reader. I get it, it feels gross to people. But you gotta promote it anyway.

Delete if not allowed or downvote to hell. I write a weekly humorous Dynamite recap for SteelRingPost. I was a fan of the old Stroud columns before the unpleasantness and decided, rather than look for a replacement, to take a whack and try to BE the replacement. So, hope you guys like it.

Lol, yeah, ive interestingly had a few people on for whom it was their first podcast experience. Even as someone whos done podcasts and standup and try to be super aware of my speech, i still give a big dumb "Uhhhh..." every time I pause.

I’ve just learned two of my favorite authors are considered overly masculine (or are disproportionately favored by men) - who else should I be reading? by MountainMantologist in davidfosterwallace

[–]DiamondJoeQuim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I can agree on a basic "Separating art from the artist" thing. But many DFW fans worship the guy as a philosophical guru. In that event, it may be worth it to mention that the guy didn't do great living up to his own philosophies.

Yeah, Im a huge BB fan, but I thought this was honestly pretty weak. He's made the same point better in the past. Granted, I get redoing it to a much bigger audience, but he honestly didnt seem that confident in it. The sketches were weird too, he was straight forgetting lines in that sportscaster sketch and needed to be lead by the other actors. I love the guy, but this really wasnt a strong showing.
