To be fair, (spoilers for the show) it was the bad place where you couldn’t swear
It don’t matter. None of this matters.

Hey it wasn’t all bad in 2020. The restaurant I worked at closed and I made more money on unemployment for 2 years than I ever had working in kitchens.
Relatable. I literally have a bad back because of trying to solo move an old TV in the 90s
You’re right, the term has taken on that meaning by now. It’s just relatively short compared to the multi hour video essays I tend to consume the most.
Mostly short form explainers about interesting subjects, presented in a sort of breathless British TV presenter style. Like a young Attenborough but less posh. Pretty good channel.
There’s not really a general association with fuckwits, the whole thing stems from Apple phones using a different color for Android users in a text, because they have a bunch of proprietary bullshit in iMessage that doesn’t work on Android. It’s a meme but also I’m sure some people take it quite seriously.
Edit: Apple users are fuckwits though
I’m pretty sure the person in the photo is doing the dance from the Wednesday show.
It also semi consciously feeds into the misogynistic trope of calling/implying that men are feminine as an insult. It’s just a bad look all around
As a fellow chipmunks hater, I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you to check out chipmunks on 16 speed. Truly a mind melting experience.
I’m sorry, you’re welcome.
I believe the implication is that these people are part of a psy-op from Russia. It was a common theme of online discourse during Trump’s presidency, with some decent factual evidence to back it up iirc. Many pro trump accounts on Twitter were suspected of being operatives, or even just bots, for example.
It’s kinda stale as a reference, but there is still a significant chance that these kinds of accounts still exist and engage in spreading disinfo.
That is too much leguizamo for anyone to attempt in a single sitting. Know your limits!
It’s a real photograph from the aftermath of hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. It’s a racist joke based on a real tragedy, making it double shitty.
Here’s the original
Liking ska punk
But south park once compared being intolerant of intolerance to being like a Nazi, so checkmate you fool, you unbelievable cretin. I am very smart.
Actual unpopular opinion: get yt premium. It gives creators the money they would’ve got for you watching an ad, while giving you an ad free experience, and also includes yt music which might take some adjustments if you’re used to Spotify, but then you will also not be supporting Spotify which is probably the worst streaming service in terms of paying artists.
(They’re all bad and many people would argue similarly against supporting Google via YouTube, so perhaps it’s a moot point, but that’s part of how I justify my sub to myself anyways.)
Anime was a mistake
It’s not the title, but rather a sort of “bonus joke” that pops up when you hover a cursor over the image (or long press on mobile I think). It’s a staple of xkcd and other webcomics, but I’ll grant that it does present some confusion for those who rely on alt text.
I for one appreciated that being in the post so I didn’t need to click thru for the bonus joke as I usually would. Perhaps it’s just better to call it something other than alt text.
I’m not opposed to listening to people I disagree with, but that’s not really the concern in this case. As others have pointed out, he doesn’t really present a balanced perspective on anything, he just invites guests with extreme views, skewing heavily to the right, and then allows them to present their views with zero critical analysis. He just gets high and nods along like “wow bro so true” while lunatics like Jordan Peterson calmly explain some bullshit that can be summarized as “I don’t like trans people existing, and I think we should put a stop to it.”
You will also not find him entertaining any extreme ideas from the left, which if he were truly the unbiased “just asking questions” guy he purports to be, he would do at least occasionally.
So really it’s a combination of the demonstrably false premise of him being an “unbiased centrist,” his overt ignorance of the subjects he discusses, and his outsized influence on the minds of his listeners.
He’s not just presenting ideas that I and others of the left disagree with, he is tacitly endorsing harmful and toxic ideas to his legions of fans, who then rabidly defend him in every venue online.
Edit: to clarify, I don’t think trans rights is an implicitly political subject, but rather one that has been politicized and turned into fuel for the culture war. It’s a minor thing but I felt I should make it clear since I used that as an example
In the guise of “just asking questions” and “listening to all sides” he platforms people with extreme views including some far right weirdos, and normalizes them to his audience. He is also just a walking example of the Dunning-Kruger effect and somehow one of the most listened to voices among his demographic, which draws additional ire from many, myself included.
No you’re right they’re super sad about funding the genocide
