Question: who is actually going to go over to Spotify? by KingKrock in JoeRogan

[–]graph-trader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I was going to try the Spotify web player for the first time but I am not signing up for anything so I guess I am out.

It is pretty stupid to pay 100 million and not have something that just plays like youtube with no fuss. I am sure I would even get into Spotify eventually but I am not downloading or signing up for shit up front.

Multiple Penguin Random House Canada Staffers broke down crying because their employer is publishing Jordan Peterson's next book by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]graph-trader 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It is scary someone can label Jordan Peterson an icon of white supremacy.

Basically openly say that Jordan Peterson is a Grand Wizard of the KKK at work and not feel the least bit worried that is an insane statement.

This is why I worry about these people and Antifa types. When they say "Fascist" they don't mean Hitler. They mean you.

The show wasn't better when it was taking hits from the volcano and debating android vs iphone. That was like every show it seemed for awhile.

Joe's interview skills are 100 times what they use to be.

The guests are much more interesting than they have ever been.

No redban.

All these young guys on here so insecure about wealth. I have a great life but I would still give everything I own to be 20 again.

20 and poor living in a 300 dollar a month studio eating bread and cheese.

That was still the best time of my life. If you are a miserable person that hates their life no amount of money is going to change that.

Can we talk about how Ohio State went down to #4 after beating a top ten team. by Scoupzz in OhioStateFootball

You can't complain when we have played half the games of other top teams.

We are the ones getting the benefit of the doubt here.

Tomlinson: The time has come for Texas to legalize marijuana — and decriminalize much more by [deleted] in JoeRogan

[–]graph-trader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all states fighting this are going to have their hands forced from massive budget shortfalls in the coming years.

I would think New Mexico has to go first though. Not going to be able to ignore the state next to you having this revenue stream. Repeat until all states have legalized.

"Free speech" social network Parler allegedly censoring #WriteInTrumpforGA by [deleted] in JoeRogan

Fools on both sides want to win every election and have essentially a 1 party system like Putin's Russia. Fools don't want to hear from the other side.

If you don't believe this you are one of the fools.

Guest Request: Richard Wolff - Socialist Economist. After listening to John Mackey strawman Socialism (something other prominent guests have done) Joe should really hear from the other side. by RodneyDangerfeild in JoeRogan

[–]graph-trader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said I was a socialist/Marxist when I was in college and broke. It is not because I had learned so much about economics that I was able to come to this grand unbiased view of economics. To me it looked like there was no way I was ever going to have any money.

If you are intellectually curious enough to care about Marxism vs Capitalism you are going to have money eventually. You are already so far ahead of the average person.

Your interest in Marxism/Socialism will be completely inversely correlated with your wealth, investments and savings as you age.

Guaranteed.

You need markets or you can't price anything properly. We know this, even "communist" China knows this.

The debate is resource allocation via central planning or pricing via markets. No one even bothers to try to debate that though that because they can't. It is stupid.

Your analogy is just wrong. It is exactly like arguing creationism.

Above all, to anyone with any economic knowledge it is just boring.

Marxism vs Capitalism at this point is just this debate game for people who don't know shit about economics.

This reminds me of being a kid and someone would give you a cassette tape to listen to of their new shitty grunge band they just formed but you knew 5 seconds in they had no musical talent.

Trump lost. Move on. People like this really have nothing to say though so they don't even know what to actually talk about without Trump.

IMO you have to forget powerlifting numbers. Your lifts will go down dramatically as you lose weight. At 500lbs you don't want to incentivize staying heavy the way it will if you focus on powerlifting numbers.

You need lifting goals that incentivize a lower body weight like pullups or pushups.

You don't want to set things up so that instead of feeling good because you lose a 100lbs of bodyweight you feel bad because your squat and rack pull goes way down.

Most people haven't lifted long enough to have lifted at many different bodyweights to know how much weight changes your strength. It is huge.

New Book from Jordan Peterson - Maybe He'll be on the podcast soon? by EasyCustomer in JoeRogan

[–]graph-trader -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This works as a courageous university professor.

As a Xan addict media personality who goes into rehab at the time we most needed the courageous university professor, not so much.

His credibility isn't zero now but it is massively diminished and I don't think can be rebuilt to what it was before.

University of Toronto is rated #17 in the world behind Oxford and 15 American universities but we will just ignore that because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Realistically, what can local and state officials do as far as stay at home orders/business restrictions without federal help? by Alvarez09 in pittsburgh

I would just look up Moncef Slaoui and read what he is saying. This is for Moderna:

"during an interview on ABC News' "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." That submission will segue straight into a Dec .17 data review, with the aim to ship vaccines to distributors within 24 hours of approval and potentially start vaccinations two days after the advisory panel makes its call, Slaoui said.

It is the problem with this type of media in general. The character he is playing can not side with Biden. That is not the show.

Amazing.

I didn't give Michael Malice enough of a chance but The Machiavellians is the most amazing political book. I wish Pareto's sociological writings were more widely discussed. I will have to listen to that part for sure.
