Sincere question: I don’t consider myself a douchebag. I’m modestly intelligent (I think? The threat of Dunning-Kreuger is always a thing). I enjoy the JRE podcast. What’s the problem with Joe Rogan? I know a few years back there was a problem with him discussing a lot of bro-science, but he seems to have always taken…

i think the best part of the interview for me was toward the front half where they’re talking about AI and elon just says “i tried to warn them. i tried...” and there was just uncomfortable silence for a few seconds as he probably saw skynet destroy humanity in his mind.

Here’s an informed opinion for your sanctimonious ass: Olivia Munn promoted X-Men: Apocalypse in 2016, a film that was made by Bryan Singer, whose reputation as a child abuser has been notorious for several years now.

Patton Oswalt regrets going for the “easy laugh” as a young comic

A joke that offends the newly sanctimonious AVclub ethos is guaranteed to be funny.

Hell, Ted Cruz is currently running a Senate campaign - the entire platform of which seems to be: “Perhaps it would shock you to learn that 25 years ago, my opponent was in his early 20s!*”

Relatable. On a recent walk to school, my sweet, loving 6-year-old looked up at me with wonder in her eyes and said, innocently:

We don’t call it that anymore. The more PC term for what was ‘CancerAids’ is now referred to as simply ‘Kinja’.

Some of his early stuff is pretty cringe-worthy, but I’ll never stop laughing at “If you hit a midget on the head with a stick, you get 40 gold coins.”

What did Ariana Grande have to say about it?

On a separate note, I saw a woman falsely accuse a man of rape so the only conclusion I can possibly make is that all women are trash and liars and we should never believe them?

“hm, how can i fix the many, complex problems in this world? Oh, I know, I’ll see someone of the opposite sex do something and then assign that action to all men and then hate all men as a result. Seems healthy and not at all over the top insane and sexist...

It’s like I always say: “If you don’t want to be shot by the police, don’t pull a gun on them.”

In fairness to Wheaton, if he is quitting for his mental health it makes sense he wouldn’t say anything about Hardwick. Beyond the fact that he does not owe us an explanation - what does he have to gain by saying anything? Say he supports Hardwick. He’ll get hammered. Say he doesn’t. He gets hammered. Hell, he’s not…

Here’s the fun thing: he doesn’t fucking owe anyone a statement. This notion that the slavering online hordes are entitled to on-demand statements and interaction is...well, it’s certainly a take, and one that many apparently share.

“Throughout Wheaton’s essay decrying the online mobs of bad faith actors, there seems to be one glaring omission: Any mention of his friend Chris Hardwick.”

No, it’s everyone else who are displaying the faux-outrage and virtue-signalling here.

Dude, folx gotta get ‘dem WOAK DOLLA$!

Hahahaha, ScarJo gives no fucks and always comes out clean. Whatever her PR person makes, they deserve a raise
