Are you talking about a pre-GOML episode? I know Gavin moderated a "debate" between Jared and RA the Rugged Man a few years ago. Debate is in quotes because RA just made a fool of himself.

I'm a big fan of QOTSA / EODM and Josh's other work but I think his recent divorce may be turning him emo. I hope I'm wrong.

Sounds like something that would happen at the Fag Zone.

Yes. It just blasts a bit of table salt. I wouldn't point it at anything fragile but something like a window is fine.

Yes, but I think it's bit more complicated than that. Which, ultimately, has a more corrosive effect on our civilization? Look at crime in the inner cities and its indisputable correlation with out-of-wedlock births. Slightly more speculative, but the celebration of single mothers has likely caused misandry / denigration of masculinity to grow exponentially.

To better answer the question I think you'd have to make it more specific. What do you mean by "worse"? Morally / ethically wrong, or more damaging to our culture. If the former, abortion is worse and I don't think it's even close. If the latter, far more complicated analysis. My gut is that the celebration of single mothers has created far more collateral damage than abortion.

But then you get into a chicken/egg scenario: has a culture which has embraced abortion led to an increase in single mothers? It's a fascinating question.

That is a good provocative question.

In all seriousness, I wish them luck. They bought it with their own money, they own it. That said, it's going to be interesting when some "undesirables" show up and think everything is owed to them by virtue of their skin color. They'll send those blacks straight back to the cities in a heartbeat.

I'm an attorney and this is textbook self-defense. That said, things are so hopelessly politicized I doubt this kid will get a fair trial. Here's a good video summation of the shootings with all now available footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdMTghlrFiw&feature=emb_logo

That's fine; plenty of room for disagreement; What's important is that we can publicly disagree without fear of reprisal. And, I suspect, he'd agree with that.

I know Gavin hates video games but this post has nothing to do with the game (I don't play these games myself). I saw it posted over on http://thedonald.win and assumed it was a right-wing meme. Just learned it's the real trailer. In the trailer, there are quotes from Yuri Bezmenov, propagandist for the Kremlin, who defected to USA in the 80's. I then watched a 15 minute interview with him wherein he describes the socialist/communist plan of how to destabilize a country. It essentially explains the Clown World we're living in (2+2 = 5). Mind blown. Watch the trailer and then watch the interview. HIGHLY recommended.

Based upon the hideous shoulder tattoo, definitely him (unless this is a photoshop).

Thanks. If I'm around next week, I will. Sometimes want to make a comment but it's too trivial to call in.

Knew he fucked up the minute I saw it. I think that was his home address.

I follow him on Twitter. He's a welcome sane voice but I don't see him doing anything terribly original. I don't mean that as an insult. He has about 500k followers so hopefully he'll grow the ranks here.

FTA: "Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become quite literally, bad religion run amuck.

Cancel culture’s refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society. Compassion is the primary experience — the heart event — out of which emerges the genius and generosity of the imagination. Creativity is an act of love that can knock up against our most foundational beliefs, and in doing so brings forth fresh ways of seeing the world. This is both the function and glory of art and ideas. A force that finds its meaning in the cancellation of these difficult ideas hampers the creative spirit of a society and strikes at the complex and diverse nature of its culture.

But this is where we are. We are a culture in transition, and it may be that we are heading toward a more equal society — I don’t know — but what essential values will we forfeit in the process?"

Pretty sure Discord nuked it a while back which led to the .win move.
