i say swears online posted:fall of civilizations went on youtube and the production values are surprisingly good, it actually makes me want to watch instead of keeping it a podcast While I'm sure this is true, the idea of watching a four-hour FoC is stretching the concept of time itself. It's one thing when it's audio and I can just do my job and listen to a well-told four hour narrative, but I can't imagine a lifestyle that frees up a sixth of a day to really get into detail about the Assyrians. Still, I really love the podcast. Somewhat appropriate to the covid talk, yesterday I binged an 8 episode podcast about the AIDS epidemic from Audible (Fiasco, dunno what season, each is about a single topic). While I lived through and remember most of what was talked about, the idea behind it was to see what parallels could be drawn between AIDS and covid in terms of response. It didn't do a great job of focusing on that, relying far more on just a retelling of events but one thing that was obvious was that the public's response to pandemics are always more or less the same with a significant portion of the population refusing to believe, another portion chalking it up to divine retribution, and institutions generally failing to live up to their duties. Hearing the details of that era really put the covid discourse into context to the extent that really from the Black Death onward this is just how these things go. Anyway I'd strongly recommend the season if for some reason you aren't aware of exactly how everything went down then, it's well made, well sourced, and a quick and compelling listen.

Guys lands for me on the chill side of chill/boring and honestly a big appeal of Bryan's stuff is how every guest always seems to enjoy themselves which makes it more fun to listen to, even if after doing shows for years he still fucks up constantly god bless him anybody got a kingsdex alternative? unfairly the easiest way to freely acquire content seems to be temporarily hosed Whoolighams has issued a correction as of 02:22 on Jun 22, 2023 |

Frosted Flake posted:The thing about covid is they they were right. I mean, a lot of the most “extreme” covid positions are right, and covid is a crisis of capitalism that showed clearly how captured our states are, how the media will push narratives, how business can override health policies, how basic safety NPIs would be discarded, how a vaccine only policy doesn’t work etc. they weren't right, many countries that were very-much capitalist (taiwan, new zealand, australia) did a good job controlling covid early on until the vaccine was viable, and made the correct risk assessment that covid as it stands now no longer represents the health risk it did in 2020 thanks in large part to the vaccine's incredible development

 most of australia did well in the beginning due to our isolation but then got sick of it and did it half-arsed NPIs or got hosed over by other cities that did it half-arsed and then just gave up when it was too hard. emergency medical services were stretched to the breaking point and tonnes of people died. at very few points was any politician able to do anything against business interests (like luxury brand shops being regarded as essential services during lockdowns)

the lady that they interviewed in the first bonus hell on earth ep and whose podcast matt guested on here:crepeface posted:matt talks about the 30 years war pod with other history nerds: did another podcast about robin hood quote:We had on medieval history experts 'We’re Not So Different', to discuss Robin Hood (2010). A movie whose politics were so bad it killed the 2000s sword-and-sandal genre. This movie asks, what if Robin didn’t steal from the Rich but instead attempted to pass meaningful neoliberal reform? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziICjJPfhyo app links here: https://linktr.ee/remembershuffle haven't listened yet

The weird thing about that Joan of Arc tweet felix mentioned isn't the content (you can find any insane thought on social media), but that that dude was asking the internet. Don't catholics have priests to ask questions like that? EDIT: Not even just priests, could be a religious family member, or another member of your churches membership. Like isn't part of religion the irl community aspect? AloePieceOfShit has issued a correction as of 12:38 on Jun 22, 2023 |

crepeface posted:what do you mean? She’s just very extra and when she’s, lol doing public history, if that’s what podcasts are, seems focused on relating thing a bit too much through the lens of American culture war. Probably just a style thing, but the long aside about the Magna Carta, for me, is shadowboxing with a belief Republicans pretend to hold rather than something the podcast audience or even most people, are actually invested in.

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:well i mean if you weighed like 600 pounds it's pretty small That was the gist of their argument. Lot of diet books written by people who went from like 150 to 120 when most obese people need to lose like 80 lbs and go from 250 to 170. Or not do that because one of the weird things Aubrey says is that the doctor does not need to weigh a person.

It's not a small amount of weight. You will be aware of the loss and it will have an effect on your life, going from 250 to 220. You have to be fat fat before 30 pounds isn't a significant amount of weight to lose.
