When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

It was the Monster brand Moscow Mule crap which is weirdly passable when you add gin (as are most things). There’s a premade box drink in Systemet I see and it’s just too sweet. Felt too lazy to make the actual drink myself.

Fair dos.

Hold up, wait, like Monster energy drink Monster brand Moscow Mules? Subbing ginger beer for standard green Monster feels like it would be absolutely awful, and hilarious, and is something I'd love to try if I was still in college.

Yep, they’re all over here. Making a proper Moscow mule is a million times better but this as a mixer is serviceable/acceptable for having in a park



This country loves shapeless women’s clothing, a million flavors and brands of energy drinks (once in a blue moon I’ll see Wild Tiger), and unwieldy open faced sandwiches.

If the world ever decides to get its collective poo poo together, meet up at the Raoul Wallenberg sphere.

Oh god okay at least it's ginger beer flavored--or trying to approximate it. I was thinking of something closer to something like vodka redbull mixed drinks here that involve just tossing a whole-rear end can of energy drink into a bunch of liquor and blacking out.

That being said, I am going to try standard flavor Monster and gin, now, because I'm extremely curious--I don't expect it to be great.

Mopsy, I'm starting to question your medical credentials.

I can't tell if putting 'porn for ladies' ads on these last two episodes is extremely inappropriate or actually appropriate as hell.

The funniest part is that I was actually already familiar with the site (unless you heard a different ethical porn streaming subscription ad). Very high production values, but runs into the problem I see a lot, which is assuming that women who are interested in paying for ethical porn aren't also into the nasty poo poo that's extra-hard to find ethically. Alas, my demographic must continue to settle for not letting anyone look at our ebook library.

Getting an ad for the porn site run by the sex toy store I shop at on one of my favorite podcasts did make me feel very Seen, however.

He has a very successful podcast that runs a lot of ads (observation not complaint), and probably gets a cut from bringing on some more news/worst year ever/his spinoff series. I can see how it would start to add up

You aren't providing new or unique insight, you aren't even providing a persuasive argument you are just making GBS threads on things and adding nothing to the conversation.

You waltzed in as an abrasive poo poo talking rear end in a top hat and are offended when people are pushing back on your "opinions".

This was never what SA was about, provide a salient point or just talk about something around the content, otherwise gently caress off.

I don't have a parasocial relationship with Robert Evans. I don't know him and never met him. He's not my friend. I don't get a say in how he makes his money or what he does with his time. I listen to his podcast, and from that podcast I've found him to be insightful and reasonable. If I thought he was doing problematic poo poo I'd push back or stop listening or find something better to do with my time.

By contrast, you seem to have a weird ax to grind vis a vis how Robert Evans makes his money, and like calling people that point out that you have a weird ax to grind as being churlish fanboys who dote on his every word.

Again, if you don't like his podcast, why are you posting about it

Do you just uncritically consume media? Do you have this weird thing where you need to like and want to be friends with someone to find an entertainment property interesting? Like everything in your response to me is just really unconsidered. I don’t really have an ax to grind, just observations about a media product I consume and the personality behind it. I talk about what’s interesting to me.

Plaguing your posts with incidental music.
all that said I think there's at least a little difference between being paid x large amount by the company you are employed by (iheart) and receiving c large amount via crowdfunding. I don't know that one's better or worse than another but they certainly feel different to me. I'm personally somewhat more ok with squeezing a large company for what it's worth than a herd of people, most of whom probably aren't rolling in cash.
