I just watched the entire thing and while it's 100% true, it is kinda funny coming from a dude who just produced an entire Netflix series with Barack and Michelle tho. Large Testicles fucked around with this message at 10:56 on Dec 26, 2022 |

In Conover’s defense he’s pretty much owned that criticism from the very beginning, and I give him props for addressing that critique head-on and going on peoples’ shows (sometimes creators with way smaller followings whom he reasonably could just ignore) and arguing it out.

I get this, OTOH it's always sweet to watch him do road trips with his kids and reminds me of going with my dad to grandma and grandpa's house in his old '60s-'70s trucks. Also he reminds me of a real life Red Green but less ridiculous.

Yeah that's really it, though: as long as you're in their correctoy narrow band of "people who matter to me personally," your garden variety plains chud will never seem to be a bigot. Blood relative? Childhood friends? You're probably fine as long as you're not gay. But they will at every step support the politics that favor white Christian cis men above all else, even if they don't talk about it. Like, I watch his stuff too, because he's probably the most accurate to my experience of growing up wrenching, but I know full well what the other side of that experience is like.

Social media is a curse the former is a popular twitch streamer-turned-misogyny advocate/public mental health crisis lolcow and the latter run an extremely successful network of self-help and “lifestyle” podcasts and whatnot primarily targeting the PoC and hip hop communities with gross “traditional masculinity” horseshit. Both are different examples of the same kind of noxious cottage industry, and they’re not mobbed up like Tate is so you can expect them to stick around online as long as there are angry internet boys to throw subscription money at them

My recycler actually clarified recently that they don't care if we recycle pizza boxes as long as we shake the crumbs out, since even if 100% of pizza boxes were recycled the amount of grease added to the recycling stream would not affect the quality of the paper produced. But I am still very amused that Elon was a shithead and released another shithead from Twitter jail, who then proceeded to lose an e-fight with Greta so badly that he put himself in real jail. While making a 2 minute long overwrought video about how he definitely didn't lose the e-fight. Congrats fuckface, it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I just noticed this thread and makes me happy we are discussing this poo poo. Seems like every car group is a festering pile of racism and bigotry, especially love whenever someone mentions EVs and half the group turns into a raging pile of loom smashers. Also: gently caress anyone dunking on Greta, they just wish they could've been as recognized as her at that age. I disagree with Greta's stance on Nuclear Energy but she's still a net positive to the world for her views on Climate. kastein posted:My recycler actually clarified recently that they don't care if we recycle pizza boxes as long as we shake the crumbs out, since even if 100% of pizza boxes were recycled the amount of grease added to the recycling stream would not affect the quality of the paper produced.

Half these 'Alpha Male' jackasses don't even see women as human. Large Testicles posted:I just watched the entire thing and while it's 100% true, it is kinda funny coming from a dude who just produced an entire Netflix series with Barack and Michelle tho. Adam Connover has his issues but he at least is capable of taking criticism and will usually correct himself. That's pretty impressive given the average guy in media would rather stick to their guns no matter how valid the criticism. I guess its not too suprising given he runs a web series on evidence based review of common misconceptions, you'd hope he'd be able to handle fact checking. He also comes from a family where everyone but he has a PhD. He also has a degree in Philosophy. Darchangel posted:Yeah, no. A billionaire is ruling class no matter what. There is no amount of "work" one person can do that is worth a billion dollars, much less 200 billion. That is stolen value from other workers. Only way to do it. The problem is too is the moron who wrote that post has his head firmly up his rear end if he believe Elon has done ANYTHING working class in his life.

cursedshitbox posted:I too quit watching Clarkson after he punched the cook. Clarkson always gave off the chud vibe and he basically just confirmed he really is as bad as he plays off. But what about James May or Richard Hammond, they don't seem to actually like Jeremy all that much (including making various jokes on the big Top Gear/Grand Tour special events where Jeremy falls behind about how glad they are that he's not there). Its really hard being general Leftie/Progressive and trying to stay in car groups, in fact I've left more than a handful after any talk about emissions or racial/social justice turns into John Galt speech level rants about chud poo poo. Its also fun bein a mass transit advocate and having people attack you for not liking cars enough. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Dec 30, 2022 |

I've hated Hammond and Clarkson for years and still watched TG/TGT because there was nothing else like it. I don't think I'll be going back and watching any of it again or continuing to watch TGT when it comes back on tho, which hurts because there are some genuinely great moments like the 4wd South America trip, Vietnam and Mongolia.

I hope so with May, I love his gentle stiff upper lip personality that he presents. I remember that when dozens of paparazzi were sitting outside his house immediately after Clarkson got fired for punching a coworker he came out and offered them tea which is the most British thing I can imagine. In the good way, not the imperialism way.
