Thing$ $till not going well for Joe Rogan, I $ee.

neil young has long been vocal, like you say. caused quite a stir in the south back in the day, with southern man, alabama, etc. -
he was just being what he always has been, a hateful fraud. it's republican supporters, voters and his political enablers in office that have done most of the damage. reserve some of your disdain for mitch mconnell, ted cruz, john cornyn and greg abbott
-
yeah he can't stop talking about how much he enjoyed himself. thanks for taking your time to give him the excitement and experience. he's also nice enough not to rub it in his old man's face that he's a better shot. haha.

this did not work out so well in the watchmen series. /nospoiler

i am in no way defending how biden has been dealing with this situation, as it has been a busy week, but zelensky needs to get his shit together or he's going to fuck around and find out.

maybe, maybe not. hot takes have always been a thing in popular media. jimmy the greek got fired not for an off-the-cuff comment, but a fucking produced segment that everyone should've known was racist and horrible. but they thought they were giving their audience what they wanted. hell, go back and watch some john lydon's bbc interviews. those stuffy commentators had no idea what they were dealing with: 1976. -
what the fuck is going on in here? i can't tell who is being serious and who is trolling. i agree with disarming the police and getting them out of traffic enforcement (more or less with some caveats) but i can't tell if anastasis actually believes this or he's making some kind of meta point here. shootings against police are definitely up. however, my favorite line from the article @Anastasis quoted was this: well, yeah, no fucking shit.

kim kardashian is a billionaire based on internet influence. when they said the internet would change everything, this is kind of what they meant. there's plenty of good to come from it, but there's a bunch of shit too. @Brisketexan had a really interesting post about weirdo conspiracy people at gun shows with pamphlets. alex jones started off on cable fucking access here in austin, and i used to watch him while getting drunk or stoned in my dorm room. his audience probably numbered in the hundreds, with most of us watching to mock him. (side note, austin cable access in the 90s was fucking badass, shoutout puppetose). however, once he platformed up his prisonplanet website, he started gaining plenty of traction and went national. the audience hasn't changed, and i think that's the point a lot of folks are missing. the audience was always there, it was just highly fragmented between local crackpots. now they can glom onto anyone clever enough to tell them what they want to hear. it's really not hard, just look at alex's roadmap. and it's strange, to me, at least, because joe seems to want to follow alex's roadmap, when he already had a fantastic thing going and he's got more money that he could possibly spend already. as he's gotten richer, he's gotten increasingly out of touch. i guess that's what happens. -

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
hayden_horn replied to Francisco 2.0's topic in Cloak Room
such an underrated movie -
and this is shit, and this is shinola, which was a favorite of my dad's.
-
well, we had some of that. not wealth. not really too much privilege, but my mom was a badass. still didn't work.
-
also, thanks for this. i've been a bit unhinged this morning about this topic.
-
ok, i've done enough vitriol on this thread, but this is over the fucking top. you can't bring that movie into this context. i'll fight you. haha.
-
it's a fucking 1950s donna reed bullshit situation. even then, they knew it was bullshit, but it was kinda true. get that high school diploma, work at the factory, don't knock up your girl (because she has no fucking agency) and don't do drugs. it's fucking 2022. let's get real.
-
define a second chance. she was brilliant. i guess she could've bootstrapped her way back up changing oil or something. her life was ruined. because of addiction. she never robbed anyone. she didn't kill anyone. she got caught with just a bit too much meth. and now she's dead. guess that's funny.
-
not sure what you are going for here. my sister is dead because, in part, once she got out of prison, she couldn't find a real job. she was brilliant. smarter than me. but she got caught with the wrong amount of meth and became a felon. and really, that was the end of her story even though there were years to come of struggling.
-
horseshit. once you are a felon, your race doesn't matter, you marketability is shit. it's over.
-
for the record, i was raised in a kind of perfect world, all things considered, aside from bro and sis. my dad and mom really had my education in mind and pushed me in positive ways. so i'm just trying to juxtapose my pretty privileged experience with that of my brother and sister. it's just frustrating to hear that "well, just work hard" when that doesn't always work. "hey don't do drugs" when you got slapped around by your dad. "live your perfect life" fuck yall. ain't nobody got a perfect life, but most of us do the best we can. i'm doing well. so is my brother. my sister is in the ground. "hey, just work hard." whatever. i don't know why i'm so mad here. but it hit a nerve.

this mindset makes absolutely no sense to me, by the way. of course i wouldn't be personally responsible for your family any more than you would be mine. but at the same time, we are a fucking society. we should take care of each other. and you think we should not, based on what i'm reading here. fuck that. it wasn't the fucking drugs that killed her. that's the point you are missing, and i reckon that most people miss when people overdose. she was failed pretty close to birth. she needed help she couldn't get. my mom couldn't get her that help in the 80s. things might different today, but people deal with shit as well as they can. this idea that she could have worked harder. fuck you. she was slapped around by her dad, probably molested, though never proven, dealt with a divorce at 13-14, and tried to get through her life. my dad tried his best, but some problems cannot be solved. perspective. get some of it. not everyone can be raised in a perfect world, and i'm sick of hearing it.
-
seriously? could you be more out of touch? she passed last year. drugs were not the problem for my sister. they were her solution. people have problems they try to solve. it's not just easy to say "good effort, get those bootstraps!" sometimes people fall down. people like you want to kick them. people like me want to help them up.

this reminds me of a former poster, but i can't remember who. maybe laphroaig? anyways. my family story is a fucking car wreck. i was raised in a nuclear family, but i had half-siblings who were the result of...previous encounters with my mother. one had a dad who was murdered in a field during a bad drug deal; that's my brother. he's still alive. my sister was raised by an asshole until my mother took them away from him and moved them away. that shit took a lot of guts on mom's part. she grew up poor, but went and made a successful life. nevertheless, my sister had to deal with what i think was probably ptsd, and my brother too. for whatever reason, my brother was able to overcome, but she wasn't. he slipped into coke, and he got out of it. she slipped into meth. that eventually killed her. she got branded as a felon for having just a bit too much, and yeah, i was an uncle at 8 years old because she hung out with disreputable people and made a mistake. meanwhile, mom was a massive success in commercial real estate. she tried her best, and still couldn't fix the shit that happened. my sister died last year, and fuck you, dude for not even trying to understand what people are going through. her two kids are screwed up due to her addiction. she died because of it. and she was the son of a sheriff. my niece and nephew...i don't even know. i hope they are doing well. they don't return my calls. but i have no doubt there are significant mental issues there. my nephew was once put in custody of the state because the police were called when he was naked on the front lawn while my sister languished in a meth coma. bootstraps, right? you don't fucking get how hard some people have it. i had it easy. i went to decent schools, i went to texas, and i have a decent job. a lot of that is due to hard work, but i got fucking lucky to have the job i've got. ask @staboner to whom i really owe everything. i just made an appeal and got a chance. i've taken advantage. but i also got lucky because my mom figured shit out. she and my dad raised me pretty well, i reckon. but not everyone has that experience or that opportunity. we earn our shit, but we also need the opportunity, and that's where the luck comes in. my sister is dead because of choices she made. but she was also a product of a shitty dad who my mom had to decide to leave. and people are complicated, and sometimes that takes longer than it should. your simple fucking view of life is why people vote republican or make fun of joe biden. finish high school. my mom did that. but just that. she also got pregnant before 25. regardless, she became a glass ceiling buster in the 80s in fucking dallas of all places. but still, there were ghosts. i don't think she did drugs, but who are we to point fingers? we ruin people's lives for drugs, which is what happened to my sister. never got a real job after her time at gatesville. fuck you, dude. she was an addict, and people like you take glee in the ruination of their lives. "shouldn't have done that" with no fucking context.
