Yeah, his insights into the matter were huge. As a white Canadian, I knew basically nothing about the Panthers beyond their breakfast program, so this was a really valuable couple episodes.

I'd listen to knowledge fight more but I do most of my podcast listening in bed to fall asleep to and while I am brain broken enough to fall asleep to Alex Jones clips I share a bedroom wall with my sister and I'm pretty sure she doesn't want to start her workday listening to that. she knows I listen to stuff about horrible people for sleeping to but that seems a step too far

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.

Yeah it's a fair cop, I tend to only hear ads for other podcasts cause I'm in Canada so I don't really get the security system ads and whatnot and am dreadfully ignorant in that regard it's not like there's really an ethical source of income under capitalism so w/e. it's an awful lot of money but eh.

anyway the other day I was feelin lousy and trying to get some rest and so had the terrible secret of sea monkies on and Robert's absolute hysterical glee at revealing to the crowd that the sea monkey guy was a Nazi is one of the most soothing things in the world to me, strange as that is to say. I miss Billy Wayne Davis as a guest, he's always been a favorite of mine. I sort of gathered a whole back from reading on his Twitter that he's kinda done being paid for podcast appearances in pure exposure, which, like, completely fair on his part. But I miss his appearances.

I listened to the first two episodes and the hosts seemed to be buying into the conspiracy sort of mindset a little uncomfortably - is this a bit I'm not picking up on or is it entirely just me or does it go away? the topic interests me but that's a major turnoff

a good handling so far I think - I hate that the story really does require such a thorough discussion of her but he's not wrong that it's a critical starting ground the description of her early family situation and lack of good adult modelling too hits very close to home - my irl socialization and autism are such that she's very much "there but for the grace of god" figure for me, substitute grace of god with having internal plumbing and a strong desire to not be a lovely person. it's a really powerful unraveling, I think, of how easy it is, or was, to justify to oneself what makes an acceptable target

yeah, when Robert mentioned the original thread being spun off of another about another internet strange person - the deep lizard brain wants to say it was from thst guy with the really long name that started with a U? i think the show does a great job of capturing part of the struggle, in that she's weird in a way that sort of compels further attention. I've soaked up so much information just out of going "wait, what the gently caress? no I gotta get a load of this" even though I inevitably go along with my day pretty quickly

I liked the episode as a non expert at least, nice and breezy, didn't try to go too far in depth, basically the story of the things-you-need-to-know and the guy with a nice aroma of "yeah people are people no matter when but the romans were really hashtag relatable"

Warden posted:Well, that doesn't solve the issue since he was born in Finland and grew up there until he was something like nine or ten, can't remember which. So he was nyy-goord until that, and started being "nigh guard" afterwards only because people around him couldn't pronounce nyy-goord anymore. nobody uses a non anglicized pronunciation for this guy's name. I get that it's annoying if you speak the language it's from but that's the only issue here. Robert correctly pronounced the name as it is used. source: I used to live down the street from a building that had his name on it before all this, like really, show of hands from people who actually knew who this guy was before the episode neongrey fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Nov 14, 2022 |

the problem with the Svetlana Svetlana ad is that at first it sounds maaaybe relevant to my interests and then by the end of the ad I'm left with the impression that the host just thinks Svetlana is a wacky name and I stop being interested my least favourite podcast ad is I still think the first season of disgraceland which was basically "you know those celebrities, always acting wild and crazy, well musicians are even crazier"
