ryguytilidie commented on Spotify deletes 70 Joe Rogan episodes   jremissing.com/... · Posted by u/Acrobatic_Road

A shock jock? Howard Stern was a shock jock. Have you ever watched Joe Rogan?

He has a 3 hour conversation with a guest where he talks at lengths about pretty much anything he wants to ask them about.

That isn't a shock jock!

>He has a 3 hour conversation with a guest where he talks at lengths about pretty much anything he wants to ask them about.

Or, for the last two years, Covid and only Covid.

And anyone who disagrees with him, including the world's leading experts are stupid.

Then he has Alex Jones on to say provocative things to boost his audience.

But yes, we will call this open research, and not being a shock jock somehow...?

ryguytilidie commented on Spotify is removing Neil Young’s music after falling out over Joe Rogan   techcrunch.com/2022/01/26... · Posted by u/FinnKuhn

I wonder if Neil would think about being a guest on Joe's show. I've never listened to Joe Rogan, and I don't know if I've ever heard a Neil Young song, but that seems like it might be the principled thing to do, to explain your position to Joe's audience. And I wonder if Joe would have him on? Would people just expect Joe to talk over Neil or otherwise be rude to him? If that was the expectation, then of course I wouldn't expect Neil to participate.

"If you disagree with someone, the only honorable thing to do would be to go on their platform of misinformation to make them more money while they present your position in the most disingenuous way possible."

Come on, you can't be on hacker news and have this poor of critical thinking skills, right?

My favorite part is how on Monday mornings when I have a meeting I can just 100% count on one of these things happening:

-One of them will have a dead battery, even though they've been in a perfectly clean case that charged it yesterday and will charge it tomorrow. -They will no longer be paired with my phone for some reason. -They will pair with my phone, but just not recognize that they should be the primary audio output and calls will just play on speaker phone.

But sure, they "just work".

Not exactly what the OP is talking about, but I do consulting and have ~5 gmail accounts.

My FAVORITE feature ever is: "huh. You just woke up on a Tuesday and need to get to work? Well, we've logged you out of all your accounts and need you to log in again."

The worst.

> When people talk about defunding or abolishing the police, they refer to razing systems like this (or parts like this in larger departments) to the ground, rethinking and rebuilding based on the needs of the community.

Some sure. Certainly not all. I don't even think most. If I'm wrong, then the meme itself needs better phrasing.

ryguytilidie · 4 years ago
So you're dismissing the defund the police movement based on the phrasing and not knowing anything about it? What would be so harmful with learning about the thing you're speaking about with authority before doing so...?

Its really weird how the "its just a flu, lol" crowd is totally okay with flu vaccines yearly but having more than 3 vaccines against a thing that has killed millions of people is JUST TOO MUCH. CAN'T HAVE THIS.

What's sad about this interaction is that, at least for me, if that person had said "Hey, we actually already hired somebody for this, but I'd still love to meet up for lunch and hear how you'd approach some of these problems" I'd do it.

I like problems, and I like solving problems. I've been lucky enough that the pay is honestly just a bonus most of the time. Having a contact at a company I think is cool is way more valuable to me than the cost of taking a train an a few hours of my time.

ryguytilidie · 4 years ago
Totally! I don't think I've ever turned down a request to help someone. But in this case he basically admitted that he kind of lied to me so that he could get my advice, while asking for my advice. Bleh.
