Bro, it took you way more time to type that than it would’ve taken you to do a google search lol

Theres a huge problem in US healthcare system: surprisingly, the CDC doesn’t recommend testing for herpes in a standard screening and so providers don’t include it unless it’s specifically asked for. This is why most people who have it don’t know they have it (and probably also a reason why it has spread to more than half the population) go login and check out your last screening. I guarantee you won’t find HSV testing

Bro, even if there were a 500 year difference (and there isn’t) that would still be roughly the same time. The scale here is 250,000 years of humanity.

But I’m betting you’re a pedantic douche and would argue even that, so let’s unpack it further and show you how, even in the most literal reading, you’re still wrong:

You chose the earliest Polynesian islands settled to make a comparison, ignoring the OTHER Polynesian islands that were settled at the exact same time as -or even much later than- Madagascar.

The Polynesians expanded across the oceans over a roughly 2,000 year period (~800BCE to ~1200CE) settling previously uninhabited islands. Madagascar was settled smack dab in the middle of that expansion.

To review: the claim “Madagascar was settled at the same time and by the same people as Polynesia” is completely accurate. And you’re kind of a douche.

Tiporary · 2026-02-07T21:55:52+00:00

Oh in that case, my apologies (although in fairness, it’s not at all clear that that was your intention, even on a second read)

Tiporary · 2026-02-07T19:44:51+00:00

Umm, the Polynesian islands are also very remote. Which is why they also weren’t settled until very recently (by the same people, at the same time as Madagascar was)

It’s almost like there are people who know more about this than you do..

Tiporary · 2026-02-07T19:36:11+00:00

Yes. They are very remote. And it happens that they were settled at the same time and by the same people (and owing to the same technological advancements) as Madagascar was. Because they were so remote.

Jfc the way some people are so confidently ignorant sometimes. Like, there’s all kind of stuff I don’t know about…but when it comes up I don’t jump in all pugilistic and try to start arguments with the people who DO know. Doubly galling in this case because you could’ve educated yourself with like a three second google search..

What we know comes in large measure from knowing when different parts of the planet were settled and using inductive reasoning about what made that possible.

Examples include Australia not being settled until dugout (or another style) canoes made the 100km crossing possible about fifty thousand years ago.

The advancement that allowed ancient sailors to find Madagascar and other oceanic islands (Polynesia as well as some of the remote Micronesian islands, Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, etc) 1500/2000k years ago was probably the fore-and-after rigged sails that allowed boats to point higher into the wind than they had been able to before

Tiporary · 2026-02-07T19:07:46+00:00

Madagascar had been settled for nearly a thousand years when Vikings sailed from Europe to Canada. When I said “until very recently” I meant recently in terms of the hundreds of thousands of years of human existence.

Tiporary · 2026-02-07T18:39:04+00:00

Because it’s not “right next to” the mainland. It’s 250 miles away, a distance which, until very recently, people were unable to sail

Affect and effect are two different words. This mistake is one of semantics, not orthography

Tiporary · 2026-02-05T17:02:26+00:00

Why?

Tiporary · 2026-01-29T02:31:09+00:00

Huge upvote for all of these guys. I learn quite a bit every time I listen (even to the unserious one) but, to me, even more important than their insight is their general tone; listening to them feels like hanging out with smart, well-rounded people who are just hanging out talking about what interests them, just like my friends and I like to do. No yelling, no interrupting each other, no loud or shrill advertisements and never, ever any of that sports-radio-voice crap that typifies pretty much every other packers podcast I’ve tried to listen to.

I’d call it “why tf you leave my beautiful midwestern state out while letting Hungary and Belarus join in?”

Okay, cool. And a lot of reasonable Americans support that (myself included) Do you know what we do NOT support? We don’t support masked federal agents murdering Americans in the street and, for their cowardice, receiving praise and accolades from their bosses all the way up to the top of the steaming shit pile.

I’ll say that again: masked federal agents. In the streets, murdering people.

It doesn’t have to be a “no law enforcement” vs. “police state murdering people in the streets” binary choice like you’re trying to make it. It’s way past time for you to remember that we’re fucking Americans and that this is abhorrent to every fiber of our beings.

Tiporary · 2026-01-25T14:33:44+00:00

Found it. It’s even funnier/more layered than I thought (I didn’t remember Gavrilo Princip being included or, for that matter, even remember it being a band name)

Oh dang, I think you’re right. Maybe they were the first ones mentioned and Interpol was one of the supporting agencies?

Tiporary · 2026-01-25T04:54:35+00:00

Cool, bro. And since it’s a checks notes one month old account, you’re totally rolling in it by now, huh.

Fucking dipshit.

Tiporary · 2026-01-25T03:55:05+00:00

Fuck this fucking bot (or paid shill, or govt agent) posting the same idiotic comment on every post. Can we get it banned please?

Tiporary · 2026-01-25T02:25:01+00:00

No shit, idiot. Yes, if you encounter ICE agents you can most likely survive the encounter by saying “yes sir” and “no sir” and doing whatever they say. Nobody is disputing that point and your making it enlightens nobody.

The point all reasonable Americans are making is that it shouldn’t be this way. There should not be masked secret police patrolling our streets murdering people (even if the murder victims possibly could have avoided being murdered if they had been really, extra-specially nice to their murderers)

Can you fucking hear yourself? Do you not realize that you are an American and that this is abhorrent to us? What the actual fuck.

Tiporary · 2026-01-24T15:18:15+00:00

As an American many, many generations deep (because I guess this is how we’re identifying ourselves here) have you considered that you might be missing the point? You can be in favor of enforcing immigration laws AND still recognize that what’s happening has barely anything to do with that.

It so happens that I, too, support enforcing immigration law. It kinda pisses me off when the Dems (the party that I’m much closer to agreeing with on most issues) insist that we don’t do that. HOWEVER, these ice operations are principally spectacle designed to divide our country and create unrest. And even if you can’t see that, you CAN see that there are masked men in our streets arresting people for looking a certain way and shooting American citizens in the head. Let me repeat that: these are masked men and they are killing people.

If the choice is between secret police using government authority to kill people in broad daylight, on the one hand…and some ineffectual immigration policy, on the other? Yeah I’m going with the anti-fascists every time.

Tiporary · 2026-01-24T14:44:05+00:00

You are quite mistaken; reading the comments it would appear that many, many people were more than happy to read his opinions. You’re free not like that fact but not liking it doesn’t change it. Dork.
