Joe Rogan Mistakenly Blasts Biden’s Mental Fitness Over Something Trump Actually Said

Here's a direct excerpt from the article OP linked:

Shortly after the exchange during the show, “The Joe Rogan Experience” producer Jamie Vernon cut in to correct Rogan. Vernon played a clip that Rogan had cited, which was in fact a video of Biden mocking “stable genius” Trump for the comments about airports in the Revolutionary War. Then Vernon ran a video clip of Trump’s “Salute to America” remarks from July 4, 2019, in which the former president praised Americans’ military efforts in the war against Great Britain.

In the speech, Trump said in part, “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory.” (Meanwhile, Fort McHenry was the site of a key American victory over the British navy in the War of 1812, not the Revolutionary War.)

To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”

I dont watch the podcast, but please: let's exhibit some media literacy while we criticize others for their supposed lack of media literacy.

Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech

All of those are limited resources to which you have no right,” White said.

But then earlier:

The nonprofit says it believes allyship from men is important and noted it cannot ban men from attending due to federal nondiscrimination protections in the US.

So... We'd like to discriminate against men and would conversely see no problem if someone else hosted male only hiring events...?

Magnet rule

Archimedes once said something like: "Give me a big enough lever and a place to stand, and I shall move the Earth."

The "place to stand" part is just as critical as the lever part. You gotta have something to push off of in order to move other things. This is a closed system that pushes and pulls only against itself.

"Last Word" by J.L Westover

I saw this elsewhere, but the term rizz does imply the existence of other words to shorten all the typical rpg attributes.

Unsure what they would all be, but I'm thinking these other four seem pretty easy to agree upon:

Toosh = constitution

Tren = strength

Teri = dexterity

Telli = intelligence

not a bot

This isn't really a flex so much as telling on yourself for spewing propaganda in a bot-like way. These bots do exist. If you sound and act like them, that's on you.

We must resist

Unfortunately, AI is quickly becoming better at this kind of thing than average humans are. And the internet is doomed for sure as a result.

We're gonna be swimming in a sea of AI generated, convincing half truths and lies.

Plagiarism rule

I'm 60 hours deep on Palworld less than two weeks in while maintaining a full-time job. I don't buy games to make statements, I buy them because they're fun to play. And this particular one really is a ton of fun to play. Yes, they're clearly ripping off pokémon and breath of the wild and elden ring, and I'm sure a few other games. But it's a lot of fun nonetheless.

Republicans are so fucking pro Israel it's laughable. What the fuck are you even saying? Have you completely lost the thread of the last twenty years to be coming in here pretending the opposite? I legitimately think you're a fascist who wants to end democracy and you're arguing in bad faith.
