In the Special Edition of the Iowa State Fair Chapo Trap House, Virgil has been digitally replaced with a new character named "Goblarx" that we think audiences are really going to connect with.

this is an advanced technique if you ever need to get hardwood from there that they charge like $9/ft for: just grab a tag from a 2x4 so you have something to scan that doesn't set off the "hey this needs to get measured" prompt

when matt goes on a manic pop psych/leftism hybrid tangent there is at least drunken midwestern prophet energy to it, when bessner does it it's like someone who is REALLY trying to sell you on a timeshare

I think he has more of that Journalism Voice affect than the rest of them where it sounds like he's running things through a filter to avoid being perceived as biased or ideological

Execrable latte liberals at their cringe worthy best to reprise the Weimar Republic zeitgeist. You wonder why Trump and his authority seeking followers are trying to rig elections in 2022. This is one party people with common sense will do well to avoid.

To my surprise, I overhear a self-assured man in a denim jacket talking about how much he loves Mayor de Blasio. “The de Blasio mayoralty was a good time … The reason it’s a hot take is because he’s a disaster. Relatively soon we’re gonna look back and be like, de Blasio, that was okay.” I join his conversation, but everytime I agree with one of his talking points about de Blasio or soon-to-be mayor Adams (“the perfect mayor for the moment, because he’s Black, a former cop, and plausibly a critic of the NYPD who actually loves the NYPD”), he disagrees with me. He tells me he’s a writer — “I’m not very successful. I have a podcast.”

yes? it's not difficult, being a nurse doesn't give you some sort of special virus arbitration powers.

sure it doesn't, but it does give you complaining rights about how the pandemic is being dealt with over literally every other profession

I would argue that as long as we’re sending children to the plague halls to breathe each other to death, teachers should be able to complain just as much as nurses.

Complain, discuss, joke - the point is, anyone who is performing a public-facing job during a pandemic should be allowed to say "this loving sucks, and no one is doing anything to make it better" without being hectored to footnote their comments with covid safety tips.

Focusing on “individual responsibility” is a lib obsession because it lets them ignore the complete societal failure. No amount of shaming people for eating out will ever do anything.

It’s like trying to shame people for eating meat or not recycling because *the planet is dying*

Right, there's no meaningful force attempting to change our 'produce as much as possible, consume as much as possible, grow as much as possible, repeat' culture. And yeah maybe some people use that as a shield to excuse their own lovely behavior, but it doesn't change that it's true.

but wearing a mask isn't just for the benefit of other people and you don't have to go to restaurants

whatever protection against covid is provided by a mask is reduced by taking it off and on a dozen times to eat while you're on an airplane. that's what they were saying, not that "masks are dumb."

having done some work with R and sentiment analysis in the past, i can tell you EXACTLY how Sarah Silverman ended up the furthest left-wing voice in podcasting

first up you put together a list of words that mean "bad" and a list of words that mean "good"

then you put together a list of words that mean "democrat" and a list of words that mean "republican"

you count up all the times when good word happens with democrat, bad word happens with republican, and that's how left wing you are

you count up all the times when good word happens with republican, bad word happens with democrat, and that's how right wing you are

as a result of this any time you do political sentiment analysis CSPAM comes out as a moderate voice for logic and reason, because "the Trump hamburger party was amazing" means we're republicans, "Ted Cruz is the most cucked man in politics" means we're democrats, "I can't believe how excited I am for the Biden campaign!" means we're democrats, and "the democrats are a loving waste" means we're republicans

this would make sense with the Adam Carolla placement because the 'politics' he cares about is all just culture ware specific stuff like women dying their hair pink and people not eating enough stew anymore

I do the morally righteous thing and just have doordash deliver my kitkats to my door instead of going out side and spreading the death plague. It’s just that easy.


If you don’t want to do the moral thing that’s on you, but I’m going to keep ordering my daily kitkats (they’re fresher that way).

I keep thinking about how we have all these delivery apps - like you have the tech for coordinating an actual lockdown right there. People can place orders for the groceries they need, the medicine they need from their homes and find someone local to deliver it. You couldn't ask for a better system to be in place already if you had to keep people at home for a month.

"Hey, we're gonna test these drivers for covid regularly and get them PPE and give them government healthcare bennies for life and they'll make $50/hr. They're gonna be our lifeline to everyone that's sheltering in place over the next month."

But no, sorry - we can't do that. It's not for doing that. It's for getting people Taco Bell within 30 minutes, so we can't use it to do something other than that. It's just not what it's for.

Forrest Gump 2's framing device is Forrest telling stories about his life from the late 90's - 2020 to fellow passengers while waiting for his cancelled flight. His first story involves being in an airport back in 2001, when he helps a nice young muslim man after he drops his boxcutter in the airport.
