Our office I’m actually going to give them props for this - they do these events during work hours. Summer bbq? Close office 4 hrs early and it’s free drinks and food for everyone. Annual golf event? Tuesday at noon, you can work or you can golf, your call.

Granted I’m too busy to partake for the most part but I’m not a clock puncher, and if I was, I’d appreciate the effort.

Now do fox and MSNBC!

Counterpoint - you’re cherry picking. He also invites left wing guests and gives them the same opportunity to speak.

He has a vast audience because a more centrist view of things appeals to a huge # of people. Your description of his audience is reductive and close minded. Yep, there are people who fit that description. And there are going to be others who fit every other description you can write down, too. Why? Because hundreds of millions of people listen.

You’ll see him try to criticize Biden but Maher doesn’t let him, because he just keeps going back to how much worse trump is. While probably correct, Rogan just wanted to dump on the prez without talking about trump, and Maher can’t seem to do that.

The most recent viral moment I can remember is the Bill Maher episode from Sept 2

Here it is, jumping in talking about Biden https://youtu.be/4btqj2Ghk04?si=Ug6eNsPM67kcatDN

Bigot is a strong word for him. I guess if you are pro-trans athletes in sports you would find him that way, but I can’t really think of other issues where he expresses close minded views? Fucking guy learns and changes his mind when presented with evidence, which is a huge reason I can listen to him. Even if some of the subjects and guests are kinda fucked up or dull or misinformed.

Like, tulsi gabbard last week reading a thing from the UN and totally either misunderstanding it, or worse, twisting it into saying something it 100% wasn’t. And Rogan was just kinda like “I dunno maybe” as he’s not very confrontational, very often.

His recent viral moment discussing Biden was about how he’s no longer lucid, and shouldn’t be let to run for a second term. His guest was trying to say how much worse trump was, but Rogan doesn’t really think either ought to be president in 2024.

I enjoy Rogan. I hear shit I should know without the msm slant.

Some of his guests are batshit crazy, but I think he just gives a platform to everybody. You know, free speech is also freedom to disagree. But censorship isn’t good, and he’s not about that.

From time to time his guests say some ridiculous shit though. I’d say I agree with maybe 40% of the content, disagree with 40%, and am neutral or uneducated on the 20% in the middle. It’ll spur me in to read / listen to other topics and expand my knowledge base so I can form an opinion.

There’s a load of shit brought up on Rogan you might otherwise have not known, because the media is a stilted propaganda machine.

We have a sandwich shop that runs 24 hrs from Tuesday morning until Saturday night. I’ve picked up late night supper there and seen people playing cards, etc and just generally hanging out for long stretches.

When I was younger my buddies and I went to a 24 hr diner and played magic into the wee hrs, occasionally leaving only when the earliest breakfast crowd started to roll in.

After PHM I just listened to other Ray porter audiobooks for awhile, it was ok. And yes, the audio book is very very very good.

Dude scroll up. Unless buddy edited the post, this entire response thread was a reply calling for reducing ceo pay to fix the ratio. Which I maintain, despite all the name calling, doesn’t fucking help anything at all

Oh my fucking God. What do you think we are talking about here?

Guy said lower ceo pay to increase the ratio.

Pay ceo 400,000, workers wages stay the same. How the fuck does that help?

Pay ceo 15 million and pay workers 485,000. Same ratio. Now we got somewhere.

People who want to enforce equality by imposing a ceiling are stupid. Impose equality by raising the floor. Who gives a fuck about the ceiling?

You need some reading lessons. MAYBE THIS WILL HELP?

THE GUY SAID CEO PAY IS TOO HIGH. WHO GIVES A FUCK AS LONG AS WORKERS EARN ENOUGH MONEY?

They were talking about reducing ceo pay, which who cares? It’s the workers that need the boost. Go back to reddit you jerk

Sure I am. If employees made $90/hr the ratio would be significantly improved. It’s not the ratio that’s the actual problem here. You get that right?

That’s just bringing down the top without helping anyone. Need to lift from the bottom instead

If you don’t, aren’t you just saying to the next con man that it’s okay, jail is too hard so you won’t actually get punished, might as well steal billions of dollars?

He got sick on his days off like a real man. Didn’t take a personal day because he was feeling low. Did his job, earning for the man. And he fucking deserved that candy!

There is one legit worry in the article, that the new show would impact TOS movies. But the rest of the article is spent talking about how it would be impossible for the new show to be good. It’s wild to read it with the benefit of hindsight lol

In my industry licensing is done on our own time, as a condition of employment. If it’s actually just 4 hrs, I might just bite the bullet and do it.

And potentially negotiate a pay bump, as you agree to increase your value to their benefit, as long as there’s something in it for you also. Especially if working in Z is at all less convenient
