At what point do y’all kick on the heat for your place? When you’re cold? A certain temp outside & suffer until it gets there? A certain date?
It's a mess here in Atlanta. Heavy rain and winds all last night. Our power went out a few times (fine now) and our neighborhood lost a ton of trees (again). This is the 3rd tropical storm (remnants, at least) that have rolled throught in the last few months. I know nothing about trees, but I guess we've had more rain from each of these individual events than from any other individual event in the last 40 years... And that's supposedly bad for big ass pine trees.
No idea of the truth of that last statement, but can confirm that a shitload of pine trees came down last night.
My Joe Rogan bros(who also happen to be most of my best board bros) may wanna rethink their Rogan devotion after the Alex Jones interview. I’m not sure the kinda dude that denied Sandy Hook for damn near a decade needs that type of platform.
He had him on a year or so back. I tried to listen to that one, but couldn't make it all the way through.
It went like this:
AJ: incoherent rambling and yelling for ten minutes.
JR: You understand that sounds crazy, right?
AJ: defensive incoherent rambling and yelling for ten minutes
JR: Well, that just sounds insane. You understand why most people would think that is insane, right?
AJ: more rambling and screaming.
JR: OK. Look man, I've known you for a long time. We became friends at The Comedy Store a long time ago. I care about your well being, but you sound crazy.
Repeat for 3 hours.
Sandy Hook denial makes me more irrationally angry than just about anything else. Anybody who supports that bullshit needs to be totally shut out of society.
I can confirm that this is exactly what the most current episode is. I gotta say, until now, I had heard of Alex Jones, but never really paid much attention him. Hearing Alex Jones on JRE cemented my distrust of Alex Jones and I think a ton of JRE listeners probably benefited the same. It was like getting Alex Jones on a non-home field advantage where he didn't get the opportunity to sculpt the landscape.
Gotta have stuff like this brought into the light so that it can be slammed hard with truth. It thrives in obscurity and withers in the light of truth.

I’m not sure that the current political state of our country lends validity to that last assertion.

Strong disagree. And I think the way social media companies have amplified racist/bigoted/conspiratorial messaging pretty well disproves it.
I think what knight might be saying (don't want to put words in anyone's mouth) is that in a 3 hour uncut interview, most sane people would say, man, that Alex Jones guy probably needs treatment. He really seems to have lost touch with reality.
To BBD's point, social media doesn't offer the same light. It is just misleading posts, memes and russians.
I mean it is what it is. I thought it was pretty entertaining, predictably nonsensical, and well moderated by Joe.
Pussification of America disagrees, whatever.
I think the best way to approach things is look at what BBD says and believe the opposite.
