People get locked up 10× as long for literally stealing food or having 1/8th of weed.

There are people in jail for longer for shoplifting a few dollars worth. You can guess the reasons for that. 

If it was 13 months AND every victim could come by once a week and punch him square in the teeth, I might be okay with the sentence... but otherwise, it’s a goddamn joke.

In jail, he will learn more crooked skills.

At this point, it’s just another fake culture war battle. Like abortion, like trans rights, like critical race theory, like Mr. Potatohead. Everything is a conspiracy by the libs to destroy “OUR” country. The right manipulates their lumpen followerswith fear and hate so they never really think about how badly they’re…

Holy crap, I’m a mom, and that’s me.  :(

If I were designing the tax code, the first $40k of income would not be taxed, so if you’re not currently earning a high wage, I wouldn’t be coming for your money. What I am proposing would help you.

I know that “we” has become a foreign concept to conservatives who live in a world of “me, me, me,” but to answer your question, the “we” is Americans. Because we are all in this together. Raise my taxes, please. $10,000 less in take home pay will not impact my quality of life, but it will dramatically improve the…

“This isn’t a heartwarming tale, this is a damning indictment”

All of this because he lives in a country where the cost of healthcare would kill him otherwise. This is all great and warm and fuzzy, but let’s not forget that this would not be necessary in a country with a working healthcare system for its citizens. 

I do not listen to Rogan’s show on anything even vaguely approaching a regular basis. I’ll watch some clips on youtube if he interviews someone actually interesting and if it seems compelling I’ll watch the episode.

(I would have said “uncontroversial” before this conversation,)

It’s also a fact that correlation and causation are separate issues, and that people who already have problems that limit their ability to exercise “all the time” may be more vulnerable to comorbidities because of those problems.

You don’t get to be a popular podcaster by giving good advice, you get that by telling people what they want to hear. And he clearly thinks his audience wants to hear that Covid is no match for their fitness and manliness, with side order of all-those-not-me-people-can-fuck-off-and-die. Sadly, he is probably correct…

The problem is it is too late (to not listen to him), so many people listen to him! My friends’ significant others all worship him. His popularity (along with Peterson) is almost normalized in my neck of the woods.

AMAZING, this is huge news. Thank you for reporting back!!

It’s America: anti-vaxxer or not, someone’s getting shot.

I think FastAssGolf referring to mom and pop taco joints.

Hard shell, seasoned ground beef, grated cheese and shredded lettuce tacos have so little in common with “authentic” tacos it’s almost a different food entirely. The only reason people even say stuff like “imagine living in LA and going to Taco Bell for tacos” is because the same word describes those two very…
