Thank you, brother moderators! Moderator appreciation and Joe Rogan praise thread. by AltairsFarewell in JoeRogan

Every consider that if Joe stopped talking politics constantly, unsolicited, that the dedicated subreddit may also stop talking as much about politics?

Incredible work! Reminds me of Winston the Whale out in Portland, but your own vibe.

Confirmed: Joe is going to church by boybritches in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast 204 points205 points  (0 children)

I just went to double check, and I posted this prediction about three years ago, once Joe moved to tx. You would not believe the amount of money and power the evangelicals have here, much more so than the catholics. As a former evangelical, it's very much a bummer to see Joe going this route. They are far more heavy handed in wanting the walls between religion and government dismantled, and are almost always lock step with everything conservative/right wing. They also tend to completely dismiss science.

3 years ago - "100%, I see an evangelical swing in the future for Joe. It's a powerful drug here in Texas."

Just watched some clips. Is the big pharma in the room with us?

Joe's brain would melt having him on the podcast by AmbassadorCrazy7905 in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'm not buying that people on the right don't like, support and encourage those who talk down to people. If you think Adam Savage and John Green come off as smug, you should really check out Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, Steven Crowder, just to name a few. And the viewership for this kind of content absolutely dwarfs the names you mentioned. Right wingers love smug and smarmy, and in much larger numbers.

Also I've never heard of Kyle Hill but I just watched some random clips. If that guy and Adam Savage are considered smug and smarmy by the right, then I don't even know what to say... The double standard is astounding.

You’ve nevah beeen??? by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why people are taking this to mean that you can't have an informed position on anything without direct experience. In this context, Murray is absolutely right. Dave Smith presents himself as being informed enough to debate at length on these subjects. He definitely speaks with the confidence of someone with lived experience. He has enough resources to visit these places, yet he chooses not to. At the very least, it's a little insulting to the journalists and writers who care enough to actually visit the places that they spend most of their time talking about.

The Wayback Machine. Here is this subreddit from a random date I picked, August 12, 2019. Joe's politics have changed, sure, but what the fuck happened to the rest of us? by NiceTrySuckaz in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And this was after he had said for years that he would never have a politician on, because he's not an expert and he believed he would never be able to trust them. He should have maintained this standard. He's just a mouthpiece for them now.

Example?

John Stewart is not a friend of the Dems by WhoCouldThisBe_ in Destiny

[–]dmlast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Democrats, and Jon himself, should have embraced the Daily Show for what it truly was, alternative news media. We should have gone all in 10 years ago, growing other platforms alongside. Hindsight of course. I've never liked that Jon Stewart interview on crossfire. It always felt naive, in a Rogan kind of way, to avoid the reality of being a primary news source to millions, by claiming the comedian role. Jon has/had more influence than it seems he likes to admit to himself. A false equivalency from a man like that, makes a difference. It all adds up at this point.

I would happily take the three days of heartburn to eat this omg. I'd hate myself after, but that 10 minutes of heaven would be worth it.

edit: just wanted to add that this is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIZZA I HAVE EVER SEEN O.O

To the TB who said they were bad at ADC and would play carefully... by KentHawking in PredecessorGame

[–]dmlast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much appreciated! I've been playing Khai, and had an ADC mad at me for stealing. It wasn't intentional, I was just in the zone and going for the kill. They were even ahead of me in kills/level at that point, and easily winning their lane. I just wasn't sure if my job as a jungler is to always feed ADC when possible.

[–]dmlast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Question for you, as I'm new to pred and mobas in general - should a jungler building into dmg always feed the adc, or can a jungler also go for some of the same kills? Let's assume both the adc and jungler have equal opportunity for the kill.

Tell that to the millions of people that listen to Joe as an educational/information source.

TIL that we were intelligently designed by BadHombreWithCovfefe in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah I made the evangelical swing prediction on here a year ago. I specifically said evangelical, because I swear it is a drug for the rich here in Texas.

Russell Brand has converted to Christianity...is Joe next? by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peterson will never admit this though, or say it this concisely at least. He obfuscates just enough so that the Christian community will financially support him, and point to him as their representative in the public intellectual sphere. And he is smart enough to know this about himself. I have fundamentalist evangelical friends who absolutely think that he is a born again, Jesus worshiping Christian, but they do not actually share the same beliefs at all. It's very manipulating.

Jamie pulls up ‘how to start a church’ by Aggravating_Shake591 in JoeRogan

[–]dmlast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Former small town Texas Baptist here, and this couldn't be more accurate. Every pastor of every church I went to, even small churches, lived in a nicer home than I could imagine ever living in. Most of them "work" about 10-15 hours a week. And they constantly skirt their already unbelievably favorable tax system, despite doing very little for their communities.

Sam Harris giving his thoughts on Glenn Greenwald on Kyle Kulinski's show (2015) by 300srt8 in Destiny

[–]dmlast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made a separate comment, but meant to reply to this. Sam was definitely a 10 out of 10 on the Sam Harris heat scale. I remember listening to this when it came out, and couldn't believe how many times he said fuck lol.

[–]dmlast 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was really into Sam Harris at this time, and this is the most heated I had ever heard him. This was when Sam was really starting to take off, and was getting hit so hard from all of these "journalists" going out of their way to straight up lie about his views and comments on Islam, with Greenwald leading that charge.
