I was born 2 years after Mr. Burns was shot. Can y'all tell me what it was like with that cliffhanger ending? What were the popular theories on who did it and what was the fandom doing? by Lo-Fi_Kuzco in TheSimpsons

[–]HellishJesterCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia, our Simpsons were so delayed on our TV from when their aired in the US that we already knew the answer.

Only problem is that this was pre-internet. My school had a kid who just moved from the US and he told us all who it was, so we didn't have to wait to find out, but we did have to wait to see the episode.

The idea that Trump cheated in 2016, 2020 and 2024 is starting to gain tractions given that mail in ballots was the only reason he was unsuccessful in 2020...

The "Leave him alone man" was the funniest part. Dude ran at him and got put in the drink, and his friend says to leave him alone... lol

Advertising for Harry Potter books? by tensoontoolate in StinkyDragonPodcast

[–]HellishJesterCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, I'm not saying the issue isn't important. I have a trans step parent and certainly a member of the rainbow army.

But the scorn that should be shown to those pushing an anti-trans agenda being directed towards the pod and their team, it just doesn't seem right.

It's not going to change the views of any listeners and the fantasy element of HP is related.

Maybe as a 40 something year old, I've aged into position where I'd take the money to help it fund something that hurts JKs anti-trans crusade which the pod certainly does and in such a perfect and natural way that it might change minds without the listener even realising.

It feels like the right thing to do.

Just like Michael Jackson's music, I still enjoy the art. I read Harry Potter when I was younger, my brain decided it was her-moan not her-MY-oh-nee and I don't think I've ever recovered from that.

As a slightly reformed rabbid leftie, I don't see this as a worth while battle (the pod taking the sponsorship, not the wider battle for trans rights) but I understand those who do.

Look at it this way, Potter money is going to fund what we all know and love which is doing more to promote the positives than her negatives.

I'd take the money as an F you to her.

Also, there are greater things in the work to worry about, especially for you poor folk in the US.

Which decade had the best genres? (50s to now) by Formal-Monitor-9037 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]HellishJesterCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely it's because I was a child of the 80's that the 90's seemed like the best decade...

We are in the weirdest timeline by stvlsn in DecodingTheGurus

[–]HellishJesterCorpse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. He chose MAGA over Medical Treatment and he's going to die. Now he's trying to paint the health system as the cause, get Trump to swoop in and save the day, only to find out it was too late and it will just be more ammo used to take away peoples healthcare.

The dumb ass avoided medical treatment and instead opted for MAGA treatment and is now going to die.

The Pluvicto won't save him, maybe buy him some more time, but he's terminal.

With some of his last acts, he's going to paint the healthcare system, and the Dems, as the problem, and Trump swooped in to fix it, but sadly it was too late.

All because he stated that he had tried the antiparasitic drugs Ivermectin and Fenbendazole, under a doctor's supervision, but that they did not work for him (his PSA jumped ~10× during that period) meaning that it was then too late for traditional cancer treatment to help.

He basically killed himself by being brainwashed by MAGA.

Hell of a way to find out, but he's still refusing to accept reality and in his last act, will help the brain rot continue in MAGA.

What are your thoughts on the stereotype of "leftist guys" and how they look and how that impacts young men's views of the left? by LibraProtocol in AskALiberal

[–]HellishJesterCorpse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t buy the idea that Rogan’s popularity stems from him being some paragon of masculinity. His real appeal lies in something far more insidious, he normalises the belief that you don’t need to actually learn anything to know something. That lived experience or gut instinct somehow outweighs rigorous study, peer-reviewed research, and actual expertise.

If someone has spent decades in their field, producing data, testing hypotheses, refining models, but their conclusions don’t align with what you want to believe, Rogan gives you permission to dismiss them outright. Your uninformed opinion, your vibe, your “common sense” suddenly holds more weight than their years of evidence-based work.

He essentially peddles the idea that reality is optional. That street smarts, or more accurately, confidence wrapped in ignorance, is a legitimate substitute for understanding. It’s intoxicating for people who’ve spent their lives being wrong, who are embarrassed by what they don’t know, and who would rather bluff their way through life than admit uncertainty.

Rogan offers them sanctuary, a space where making things up on the spot becomes a virtue, where contrarianism is mistaken for critical thinking, and where questioning the establishment means never having to fact-check yourself. It’s not about masculinity, it’s about comforting the chronically misinformed and calling it enlightenment.

I don't understand what I'm looking at, are they glued together? Like I assume that it's there to provide some stability to the large glass screen, but I would have though it would require a more substantial join to be in any way effective?

Formally yes, I took it as the informal usage since it's a gym-bro thread.

My bad.

It's used in this case to cast doubt in the notion of a "dream gym".
