Yeah, tends to happen when your country is only 240 years old and some of your cities are only 150 years old.

@Jason Weed is something that is extremely old and natural, though. Restriction of weed is actually a recent thing that only came about in the last century. It's all about who has the money and who doesn't want anyone else muscling in on their business. I think it is a convergence of the governments having the technology available to actually enforce those kinds of laws, and businessmen who don't want cannabis as competition. In medieval times, for example, there would have been basically no way to enforce cannabis being illegal. There was not nearly enough infrastructure to support that and on top of that it was an agricultural product so lords wouldn't want their serfs being restricted from making product.

Most people aren't suicidal and would rather change than die. It comes back to parenting as well, if you never teach your kid how to change (i.e. grow up) then they will have a lot of difficulty doing so later in life.

Consider for a moment that you simply didn't notice the American tourists that weren't loud. But yeah, as an American, even I get annoyed at how loud many locals I know will talk to each other, especially at parties. It's as if people get into a shouting match trying to be heard over one another, except its the whole party at once, and people act like it's normal. Drives me up the fucking wall, I tend to hang out outside or in a different room if I'm at a party for that reason.

This is why history is extremely important. Modern politics keeps getting reframed around political conflict that we had in the first half of the 20th century. Or that Europe had, at the very least. Anarchists are almost always useful pawns in the schemes of other radical authoritarian groups. They were in the Spanish Civil War. But anyone who talks about Fascism and Communism NEEDS to study this history thoroughly and not just the manifestos or "holy texts" of their chosen dogma. This isn't new shit any more, countries have tried these ideologies and failed several times.

@fishfire_2999 I've always thought sensory deprivation chambers are kinda weird. If I have no stimulus and I try to meditate, I am left with only my own thoughts and I can't meditate or clear my mind. Visualizing numbers helps for me, but so does outside stimulus. That's why singing bowls exist and why chants like "ohm" exist. Different strokes I guess.

@didtheyexpectustotreatthem574 Plutonium is a weapons-grade substance nobody actually uses it in reactors. What.

The fuck? She just never lost during the day class? Dude if I would have quit after I lost once I never would have gone to class a second time. I doubt this happened

@YouAreOneOfUs OK great, now can you compare the amount of people/animals killed or made sick by radiation from nuclear accidents to the amount killed or made sick by oil rig explosions/accidents, oil spills, etc.

It's debatable whether Wernher von Braun was a "real Nazi," but he was devoted enough to the science of physics to willfully ignore all of the terrible shit going on around him and in his workshop. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to the reader. He was, however, unquestionably brilliant in his work.

I don't think it's nearly as bad as games, considering a lot of the "Twitch Thots" are actually former pornstars who do streams because it's easier. And I don't really blame them that much considering the industry they came from. Hunting requires a lot more effort, even if you just want to look "like" a hunter.

I can tell by their conversation they have never met a young soldier or combat type. They do shit like this all the time, it's how they build camaraderie and generally give each other a hard time. I guarentee you they are doing it in their off periods while at the station

Assuming that Penn is even correct in his assessment, I've met more than one person -- hell, more than one close friend even -- that doesn't enjoy music. They're both getting on fine.

@Angelito_Noreaga "Centralized government planning would allow for workers who work in the fossil fuel and coal industry to transition into these new renewable energy jobs." Oh well it sounds so simple when you put it like that, let's just change our entire government, surely that won't result in any strife or hardship.

It's a good way to entice other kids to join. Kind of like a "little white lie" that has a good intention behind it.

@demmenhavvags6385 I'd rather there be brawls in Congress than on the streets, at least in Congress there are some actual stakes. In a typical street brawl between at most a few hundred people, there will be no significant impact on grassroots voting regardless of the outcome, unless one of the factions reaches a point where they are basically brownshirts that beat up anyone who shows allegiance to someone else

Uh, this isn't filmed in front of a live audience, it's just three guys (one of whom almost never talks) in a studio room shooting the shit. I can't really see myself getting the stutters and spilling my goddamned spaghetti all over the floor. I personally do find it annoying when someone tries to finish my sentences all the time without actually knowing me and I always try to shut up and let someone else finish what they were saying.

@tyler6971 Do you shit bricks in this comment section? This comment section is just as available to the public as the podcast. Everything you say could be read by anyone with access to the internet. Why aren't you embarrassed?

@tyler6971 How's that? The exposure's the same. Now, if the audience was in the same room as me, don't get me wrong, I'd be shitting bricks. But some jackoffs thousands of miles away that I will never meet in person? Who cares.

@tyler6971 OK, see now we're getting into the nitty gritty, and I have to ask whether you originally meant "Hosting a podcast/stream" versus "appearing on a podcast/stream." If I were to appear a couple times on a podcast, I wouldn't really give a shit. If I were the host, obviously I would care more, depending on whether or not it was my livelihood. But I would probably never host a podcast, because I prefer to engage in a more direct discussion like this one, and I feel like broadcasting it is a bit narcissistic. "How is that any difference from an audience that isn't in the room?" Eh, you can't be made immediately accountable for the things you say? Seems kinda obvious to me. Also, if it's a live audience, they're more likely to be local people, which means you might meet them again in the future.
