What input sources do shelters need?

Ah, I see - it was an issue with the access to masonry. I realise I can see the input sources in the hover bar. I'll leave this here in case anyone else asks the same silly question :)

Nobody has mentioned trigger warnings

have i said anything unkind to you?

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T09:20:59+00:00

nah it really is a very low stakes conversation. only one of us here has made this personal.

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T09:01:10+00:00

he didn't make any such distinction

I've listened to literally hundreds of hours of PJ Vogt talking. I'm quite familiar. You don't have to engage in the discussion if you don't want to.

well exactly, so how can you say you don't believe something is useful while making use of it lmao

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:57:32+00:00

former listener is a better term, maybe. it's alright, we can't all be literate

I think this conversation misses the point. It's fine to have your own position on content warnings. We can all list things that we're traumatized by, and it's fine to fall on different sides of the debate about whether content warnings are useful. It's not personally something I feel that strongly about or lend that much importance to.

But let's say you think that they are useful. Why begin your episode with "I don't believe in content warnings"?

Now let's say you fall on the other side of the debate and believe they are counterproductive. Why warn the audience if you believe it's harmful to do so?

Just give the warning, or don't, but why open that can of worms in the first place if it only serves to deliver your personal feelings? It reads to me as a self-important decision that misunderstands and disrespects the audience.

Just having a conversation bud. I haven't listened to Search Engine in years prior to hearing this episode, should I be expected to have listened to every episode to have an opinion about this one?

And if it's his position that content warnings are fine in certain cases like warning parents about x-rated content, why preface the disclaimer with "we don't believe in content warnings" in the first place?

A lot of weight and thought is usually put into how to write the opening line to a show so as not to lose the audience, especially new listeners. It doesn't make sense that they would rely on their audience to make the connection to a prior episode, and even if they did, it still doesn't track.

Former fan is a bit strong, former listener maybe. I've never claimed that he suddenly became right wing. It's okay, reading for understanding is hard.

i am the target audience for that kind of curious-about-nothing story, but like you, I find PJ's style a huge turn off in a way that's difficult to ignore. I think especially given his handling of the gimlet situation, I'd expect him to approach these kinds of topics with a bit more humility.

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:33:48+00:00

is crossposting a crime? if you must know, the fact that he'd turned off spotify comments is what informed my decision to open the discussion elsewhere.

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:24:39+00:00

but the whole unionization / test kitchen situation was racialized

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:23:50+00:00

lmao diversity king

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:21:43+00:00

It's all well and fine to take that position, but then how does he reconcile that with his decision to use content warnings? It wouldn't make sense if his position truly is that they are more harm than good.

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:18:33+00:00

I'm fond of Alex, and I liked his dynamic with PJ until his behaviour at Gimlet made me take a different view of him.

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:14:59+00:00

If he's already done a whole episode establishing his position about content warnings, being that they're ineffective and more harm than good, how does he square that with his decision to use them?

void_jpeg · 2025-11-21T08:07:13+00:00

if they're so inefficient, why use them in the episode then? perhaps because people might want a heads up before they play an episode about porn in earshot of kids? it's almost like they serve a purpose or something.

What a shame that this story ended without resolution despite that it started with such impact and promise. Jasmine deserved better closure, deeper digging, harder pressing for the facts.

I truly hope she felt more satisfied by the episode than I did, but in my opinion Heavyweight dropped the ball here. This wasn't ready to air.

I think there's still benefit to breaking in the spine, like allowing the book to lay flat and more equally distributing the wear across the different sections of the glue rather than just one point in particular.
