    What are some good spotify alternatives? I never used it personally, but maybe it can help others cancel.

      Just ditch them all. Podcasts are so stupid. Anyone that likes hearing themselves talk that much probably doesn’'t have anything worth listening to in the first place… just as lame as social media “influencers”

      Been torrenting and burning CDs again like the good ole days. So worth it.

          … I don’t get it? I’m just trying not to use any streaming services because fuck giving corporations any extra money wherever I can manage. Same reason I switched to Linux and ditched Gmail

          Only way to get at these assholes short of violence is to hit them in their pockets

            It was the Moore. Nobody has anything important to say on a podcast mentality. The my way of thinking is the superior way in all shapes and formstype that I was talking about.

      I know everyone rags on Apple Music but I switched a while ago and have been happy with the experience. Combined with the cider 2 app for music on my computer I haven’t been left lacking

      I’m confident he knew he was going to be booed by the crowd if he did come. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t even his decision. UFC probably realized he’d be booed and that would look bad for their broadcast. They could well have informed him that he wasn’t coming, but allowed him to pretend it was his decision.

            You aren’t wrong, but it doesn’t mean what you are doing is right.

            If you want something dirty done don’t pussy foot around it and do it yourself.

              I think if times were shaping up to be different, I would completely agree with you.

              However, it seems like the US is gearing up to start a global conflict the likes of which we haven’t seen for almost 100 years. There is slim opportunity, now, to maybe stop it. Or at least buy whom I would consider to be the allies of a free, open, and democratic society time to prepare a bit further.

              What this means to me is to not worry so much about how others choose to gate keep or endorse whatever it is you have to offer. To me it means all options are on the table, including flipping the table over. If all you can do is a little, do a little. If what you can do is much more, then do much more. But the gatekeeping, the “Why are you doing X, you should be doing Y” from people who are doing neither…

              I know how these things shape up, in my limited and poor experience. It takes a village. It takes many parts.

    Joe Rogan Experience in a nutshell:

    Guest: batshit insane shit

    Rogan: uh huh, oh wow, that’s crazy, never thought of it like that

    Rogan: also like, here’s my thoughts bro (insert popular opinion here)

    Guest: continues batshit insane shit that contradicts that expressed opinion

    Rogan: I totally agree.

      Don’t forget

      Morons: Rogan is not a right wing propagandist, he has guests from all over the political spectrum.

        Seriously man, I hate hearing: But He’s had Bernie on!!

        yes, a left-winger on a handful of times and basically inundated with right-wing propaganda on the other hand.

        That’s like saying Fox News isn’t right-wing propaganda because they’ve had Jon Stewart and Michael Moore on.

          Also like, when was the last time he had anybody truly left-wing on? Been a few years since he’s had Kyle Kulinski on, but Alex Jones? Book that guy a slot for next Friday.

        Joe Rogan is a fucking idiot who has done irreparable harm to millions of young men in this country, but… his MMA and BJJ credentials are legit. He would destroy Segall.

        I used to be a big MMA fan back in the day (way before Rogan’s shift right), and it was incredibly impressive how good he was at calling the fights. Specifically on the ground, he would often correctly predict the submission a fighter was going for like sometimes 30s before they did it. He could just tell by the positioning.

        Sucks that he’s a fucking fascist now.

          Pretty sure he stopped competing in any kind of martial arts long ago, and that was only ever Tae Kwon do. I’m sure he trains hard but seagull was a legitimate practitioner too and over a foot taller. Neither one would do much competing in the wild against anybody who wasn’t paid to lose to them now. Joe does love sharing that video of him kicking a bag hard though.

            Watch some of the stuff Segall has done in the past decade. He gets winded standing up. Or rather don’t -he’s basically Rogan in 10-20 years, physically and mentally.
