I'm outraged by Dave's inability to pronounce the word 'subsequent'. It's a word that is in very common use in modern English, and it regularly comes up in the course of episodes because he's talking about series of events taking place. It's really weird that he pronounces it sub-see-quint.

Captain Shortbus posted:Wasn't patreon recently outed as a money exchange for It's a service that allows for people to accept money, and it's on the Internet. Somebody has probably used it for that, but it seems like it's mostly used by people who do podcast/YouTube type stuff where there isn't an obvious way to set up a decent revenue stream.

Compared to how history is usually taught, listening to most of The Dollop really gives a better idea of what life was actually like. Sure most of the topics are chosen because they seem crazy by modern standards, but it also covers things in ways that most other histories don't. There seems like a lot more focus on the early lives of the subject, rather than mostly focusing on when they became famous/notorious, and also contemporary public accounts and information from others personally involved in the story. History as it's usually taught generally seems to focus narrowly on events and accomplishments. You may learn about some national shame like the Trail of Tears, but you tend to miss out on the mundane awfulness, chaos, ignorance, etc. of everyday life before modernity that the Dollop conveys. It really dispels the notion that living at any time in the distant past would be anything but horrible.
