I'm apparently way more forgiving of the occasional bad take than a lot of people here, and even I was cringing at the last one

[–] CrushKillDestroySwag@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

I watch plenty of YouTubers who have bad takes, especially regarding AES. I stopped watching WTYP when I realized I hadn't laughed once in multiple episodes.

I gave this pod a shot back in like 2020. Had to stop, it's just so boring and when they finally get to the topic it's still boring.

the only episode i could even make it 10% of the way through was groverhaus

The 9/11 episode was in the middle of recording when the news broke that Ginsburg was dead. Worth a listen.

I keep saying that we somehow need to make Rocz's joker laugh an emoji sound file somehow

They’re liberals.

Related: how Is Milo Edwards, someone who has lived in Russia, so goddamn ignorant about the Ukraine war?

Milo Edwards

His russian friends are so sus, like that chick he knows is the daughter of one of the chief architects of shock therapy

[–] KarlBarqs@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

The energy he gives off about his time in Russia is strongly sexpat vibes. Like showing up in the shitty post-Communism era to run rampant over the country, "partying" it up and shit.

I've always found it boring and unfunny as hell tbh

Podcasts should be launched into the fucking sun.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some of them are okay, even if most of them are bad and honestly have a negative impact on society

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used to have a list of about 20-25 i listened to regularly. Damn near every one of them political.

Im down to three now and the three i listen to are hosted by people i would consider politically left, but they make no mention of politics. Just jokes. Im so fucking burnt out on podcasts as a whole. I cut all my patreon subs, I even quit listening to our favoritest large adult son, Cushbomb. Im just over podcasts. Period.

I think Chapo is alright, but most of the time, like you, I'm listening to comedy podcasts hosted by nominal socialists (specifically Episode 1 and Podcast About List). What are yours?

liam is an awful lib. it's fine hearing alice's left-com bullshit, but I get my fill of shouty-notfunny-anticommunist-libshit from just living life ambiently in the world

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're fine, a bit lib but they're fucking podcasters so what do you expect. Even fucking Hakim has lib takes on occasion. Aside from the fucking Adam Something episode I've not heard anything I've not heard from a paid up card carrying org member when they're on a roll of bad takes.

I think we do sometimes have to remember that when you're extremely online in a public way, every bad take is gonna be used against you, forever. Even the ones you forget. I shudder to think of what it would be like if every bad take I've ever had on Hexbear was dredged up every time I posted.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

That's why I only ever post good takes

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

They’re know nothing losers except one who knows about buildings and things, and are bags of weird contradictions

Did you expect good takes about anything other than buildings falling down?
