Sorry if already posted, but I thought this was brilliant.

Good article about Musk's transgender daughter. The Man is garbage. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/25/elon-musks-transgender-daughter-in-first-interview-says-he-berated-her-for-being-queer-as-a-child.html

@Danioover9000 Yeah, to be fair, there are some points where Joe does push back a little. A lot of the political stuff, less so though I thought.

@Merkabah Star My guess is RM Brown will do a summary of it soon. I'd be amazed if TYT didn't do something too.

I found this entire interview disturbing. Tucker says so many things in here that are so obviously false and Rogan just let's him get away with it. Seems obvious that Tucker has decided to go after that evangelical Christian $, now that he has burnt all the mainsteam bridges. Joe is lost... Maybe one day, he will find his way back to reality. I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more coverage yet. The whole thing is just cringe on so many levels.

There is a long PBS documentary about Dick Proenneke, called Alone in the Wilderness, but I can't seem to find the whole thing. Dude was the OG of filming off grid living. Moved to the Alaskan wilderness at 51, built everything himself and lived alone off the land for 30 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Proenneke

Extremely introverted. I occasionally struggle to find a healthy social balance, but for the most part, I enjoy my solitude, or the company of a few people I'm very close to and trust. I have a small group of friends that I do see regularly. I get a lot of routine socialization at work. I also play a lot of live cash game poker. For me, it's an almost perfect way to get a little extra socialization. You don't really have to talk much if you don't want to and can just kinda chime in here and there, but it lets you get to know people very well, assuming you play together a lot. Generally I hate large crowds, or groups of people. I'd much rather hang out with 3 or 4 other people. Anything over that, I start to get anxious. I would like to add a couple more close friends though. I'm 49 years old. I have already lost several family members and a couple friends. Of my highschool friend group of about 12 guys, 4 are already dead, and one might as well be. I can see the value of having a few good friends, especially as you grow older. The problem is, people suck. It's hard to find solid people. Hell, it's hard to BE a solid person.

Where it gets a little gray for me personally, is with extremely passable trans women. I do find them atractive. I have zero interest in men, but wouldn't rule out sex with a trans woman. It's almost a kink, if I'm being honest. Having said all that, I'm not sure the reality would live up to the fantasy either.

I found this guy pretty credible. Thought I would share. The information he reveals at the end, is pretty hard to explain.

Totally agree. I quit listening to them, mainly because of this. They can be a bit overly dramatic too. I really like Robert Wright's Nonzero podcast.

I totally relate to this. Most people aren't wired to relentlessly pursue success like this. Kudos to those who are. The world needs people like that too. It just ain't me. I really like this Einstein quote... "A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness."

Just to add some context to the videos I linked. The police pulled the man over after they received a tip that he was a felon in possession of a firearm. He had a lengthy record, including being a registered sex offender. Sexual assault on a 12 year old. The officer on the passenger side saw a gun underneath his ass. Turns out he had two guns. He pulled one from inside his sweatshirt and started shooting. He got what he deserved.

This happened recently in my hometown. Cops acted flawlessly. Everyone wants to second guess the cops. I do it too. Split second, life and death decision making right there. https://public.powerdms.com/Dec8366/tree/documents/2368208 https://public.powerdms.com/Dec8366/tree/documents/2368204

@The Mystical Man I agree. I was having this conversation the other day with friends. My buddy puts a lot of $ into his home theater. It's top notch. I love watching stuff over there, but my point was that it's always more about the story and the acting for me. Special effects, audio and picture quality, etc. are just icing on the cake. Give me a great story, well performed, and I'll watch it on anything.

It's definitely my favorite show of all time. The Wire is pretty high on my list too. My favorite Sopranos scene...
