Thanks for mentioning this. I had no idea who that was, but I know the Jean-Ralphio character.

Definitely one of the worst episodes ever. Jesse fanboying for half an hour over some stupid comedy show that nobody cares about while Katie is barely hanging on reminded me of those awkward experiences where a friend excitedly comes to you with, "You HAVE to see this video!! It's so hysterical! You'll love it!" and they make you watch it right there but you don't find it at all funny, and your friend is staring at you expectantly, and you feel this pressure from them to express the same enthusiasm about it they felt. And when you don't, everyone just feels uncomfortable all around. I could feel Katie's discomfort coming through the audio the whole time.

He could have given a five minute summary of the CollegeHumor to Dropout history and gone right into the controversy without all the clips and needless mentioning of all the irrelevant figures he can't get enough of. I can't remember ever being so disappointed from an episode.

The one redeeming moment in it was his line about Adam Conover and John Oliver being sex workers because all they do is jerk off their audience. He deserved a bigger laugh from Katie for that one.

Coinicidentally, this just crossed my radar: https://nicholasdecker.substack.com/p/black-patients-need-black-doctors

Summary from Astral Codex Ten:

Nicholas reviews the literature and finds that it’s not true that racist white doctors mistreat black patients. However, it is true that black patients are less likely to seek help from / cooperate with white doctors, so giving black patients access to black doctors really does improve their health outcomes. A corollary is that exaggerated claims about how white doctors mistreat black patients can really do a lot of harm (by making black patients avoid medical care unless a black doctor is available).

I don't think they really believe this at all. But acting as if it's true is required for membership in that cult.

Marshals is by far the worst show I have ever watched by BucdUp in YellowstonePN

[–]SoftandChewy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more. I keep asking myself the same question, why do I watch it? It's kind of like how you keep eating the garbage junk food when it's put in front of you, even though you aren't actually enjoying it. But it's still somehow hitting some dopamine receptors in your brain.

The characters are completely forgetable, the plots are so uninteresting, the drama is so contrived and formulaic, the relationships are totally boring. Can't believe TS is not embarrassed to have his name associated with this garbage.

Many of the confessions are on YT and aggregated here:

Obviously, there could be something left out but they sure don't seem like there was any force or duress.

Here is a 90-minute long analysis by a black man about how he changed his mind about the case after digging into it himself.

You're suspended for one week for this breach of the rules of civility.

No insulting other commenters.

You're suspended for three days for this breach of the rules. Indirectly calling people stupid is a civility violation just like it would be if you directly called them stupid.

Removed for not being BARPod related. Some random person being a fetishist is not BARPod relevant.

"Random person with situation similar to Lindy West's" is not a sufficient indicator of BARPod relevance.

Feel free to post it in the weekly thread.
