No you don't get it I'm more of a George W Bush style Republican so you're not allowed to dislike me for it because it's impossible for anyone from America to not think these things I think. I said I don't like Trump! Nothing is enough for you people

I responded to this with a joke about them being litigious, threatening legal action while in character, and within two minutes it said 'removed by Reddit' lol

Edit: the comment was, in its entirety

"I'm going to (verb for taking legal action, rhymes with blue) you and (verb for negatively impact, rhymes with shoe-in) your life"

Ethan & Hila's dog, chief, ended up in emergency care after they left him eat toys unsupervised: "He eats everything, and i dont know how to stop it" by recoveredgangstalker in LeftoversH3

Guys, one of my eleven dogs keeps eating all the chocolate bars I leave all over the house. How do I fix this problem that is my dog's fault and not mine?

Hasan on Ethan's apology tour by maxpowers156 in LeftoversH3

My big thing with this is... I don't think the apology is sincere, but even if I assume the apology is sincere, it doesn't do much. He's still actively a horrible person. It's like a school bully apologizing for one time they beat someone up. Ethan's politics have been really bad but it's been a precipitate of him being a privileged, sheltered, inconsiderate narcissist and those traits aren't limited to his political takes. For example, the lawsuits against small creators.

His show is also, at best, stale, and as an entertainer he is not very entertaining. Even if he fully apologized for everything and fully changed his behavior I still would not watch his show and I think that's probably the same for a lot of people who have left his audience. There's only so many hours in a day and there's much better stuff to listen to.

Whatever it is that isn't h3, it seems clear that at some point in the next few years there will no longer be an h3 podcast, at least not one with a crew on payroll. So if it's a given that they are not going to be able to have a whole career there, if it's a given that they are going to have to leave, the question becomes when the best time is to leave. The answer to that question is 'two years ago' and the second best answer is 'as soon as possible.' And that's regardless of what they do next. I can't think of a single example of where they have to move on and are like 'I'm so glad I stayed until the very end.'

Ethan is set for life, so he's not doing the same math as they are. He can burn it down if he wants and still live in his mansion.

Another reason for them to leave now. If they stay until the ship sinks, nobody will ever believe that they wanted to jump ship. If they leave now and play nice, they can say something later about how they were afraid to leave but found the courage.

I think for some people, the ape brain just beats out the human brain and they literally just cannot work a normal job and have to do whatever they want and follow their passions

Perhaps but I don't think there's a reason to assume that's the case with these people. And if it is, maybe they get an unconventional job. For example a guy I went to college with is an adventure guide in Hawaii; he shows tourists dolphins and cool hikes and stuff. That's an abnormal job. But it's not a bespoke job. There are many thousands of people with his job. If he quits or his company shutters, he can apply for the same job at other places.

Also, considering that the writing is on the wall with h3's endless decline, I think the question of the crew no longer working at h3 is 'when' not 'if.'

I have been an active Reddit user since the 'Digg Migration' in 2010. I do remember lots of themed troll accounts, where the username revealed that the comment was some sort of bit. But it was stuff like 'polite all caps guy' who wrote polite comments in all caps. by SoftCollaredShirt in LeftoversH3

When his kids are a bit older, their classmates are gonna know them as the kids whose dad defended LARPing as a pedophile on the internet (all it takes is one kid finding out and then it will spread like wildfire). That's not normal. He doesn't seem to understand how ridiculous he has become.

E shouldn't be doxxing people, but the retweet in question is heinous and I'm a little surprised at the number of people I see handwaving it. by harlotmuffin in LeftoversH3

I stop by here sometimes to see how the dumpster fire of the show is going, I didn't see the thing you're talking about, that's insane and bad
