My father-in-law has been divorced three times. Each of his exes have told him directly that they left because he’s too controlling. To this day, he openly and genuinely states he has no idea why he’s been divorced three times - “I try so hard in marriage. I just don’t get it.”

Some people can’t hear the truth even if you rubber stamp it on their forehead.

Cue: Elon Musk.

Never underestimate a human’s capacity for self-deception. I think it’s our most perfected trait.

“Democrats did it.”

-Elon Musk.

I’ve heard the best thing people can do against Musk is to vandalise privately purchased Teslas. I’ve heard that will put mass fear in the market not to buy them.

I’ve heard that vandalising commercially owned Teslas will only result in insurance payouts and more Teslas being made.

I’ve heard that the best way to vandalise privately owned Teslas is to use spray paint, which is relatively easy to clean off (not hurting the owner too much) while being very media-affective.

That’s what I’ve heard.

Why would I tell anyone? I’m not condoning any action of vandalism at all. It’s only what I’ve heard.

Now that you’ve heard it too, you can tell others what you’ve heard without condoning it either.

Ironic that Joe Rogan hosts a monthly ‘Protect our Parks and Wildlife’ pod, then considerably helps to get Trump elected, who then makes moves to fuck up parks and wildlife.

I’ll be honest with you guys… my wife and I (Australian) had a three-week holiday to America planned for June which I just cancelled last week because I don’t want to give you a single fucking dollar.

We’re going to Japan now instead.

Well, maybe America was always the bad guy, but had (mostly) good people in control of checks and balances. Like, it was always Anakin, but had Obiwan keeping on eye on things.

But now Obiwan is dead and America is in the tower chopping up kids.

Hmm, convenient.

Sorry America, but you’ve gone Anakin Skywalker. You are now the bad guys.

I guess I didn’t see him as scripted or paid-for until that 4-guest GOP-a-thon, then it was blindingly obvious (and I’m not American, so I don’t even care about your politics).

I liked Joe because he never appeared to have any agenda, usually saw, or at least humoured both sides of an argument, and right or wrong (yes, he was plenty wrong), he was always at least genuine.

Now, he’s just a 3-hour long commercial.

I fucking loved listening to Joe for probably a decade, but I haven’t listened to a single ep since December.

That Trump, Vance, Gabbard, Musk run was a stunning indicator to me that he is now bought and sold, and his pods are scripted, which is a complete 180’ on why I liked him.

He used to be genuine and a centrist. Not anymore.

Imagine the morale there. No one’s going to give a fuck there now, and fair enough.

If my instincts are right, it’s less about him not being invited back, and more about him realising Joe has been bought and sold and him not wanting to go back.

I’m triple-vaxxed with two degrees and one in science.

Unfortunately, your capacity to understand what I’m talking about has hit its limit, and it’s not even close to where I need it to be to keep me interested.

I agree.

There’s literally video of Biden addressing the nation saying if you got the vaccine you would NOT. GET. COVID, nor get sick, or die. Would you like 20 or 30 links to that? Let me know because about 1000 news outsets reported on it.

I’m not anti-Biden or anti-vaccine, but he was wrong to say that, period, and Rogan called him out on it, which Rogan got slammed for, which he turned out to be absolutely right about.

It’s fools like you who blatantly, blindly pick a side with no nuance or care for any discussion. You’re like a MAGA mirror opposite.

For the record I’m against most of what Rogan says about most of his scientific statements, including most of his shit about COVID. He’s a meathead, but he has been saying for years that getting the vaccine doesn’t stop you getting the virus, which is correct.

If it butt hurts you and the mod censoring me because I’m open to things he says that are right instead of blanket-hating every word, you can both get into a 69 position with each other and make gargling sounds.

You hear that, trigger-happy mod? Now you have a reason to intervene. I come here once every 6 months so flex as hard as you need to, big man.

I’ve been a pretty consistent listener of Joe for a decade, since before he really gained true popularity. He’s never been perfect and he’s said and done a whole lot of dumb shit over the years, but I took him for entertainment and nothing more, so his missteps were always forgivable.

But last year’s Trump, Vance, Musk, and Gabbard interviews back-to-back on the eve of election proved to me without a shadow of a doubt that Joe Rogan is bought and sold, and I’ve not listened to him since.

I don’t hate him, but his appeal to me was that right or wrong, he was always at least genuine. Now he’s just a 3-hour advertisement.

In my opinion, what fucked him was reaching ‘escape velocity’ as he calls it. He knows he’s untouchable now so he’s stopped auto criticism.
