'Murica! (179 Viewers)

I’m a big fan of long form audio. I really appreciate that we live in a era where you can listen to scientists, athletes, books etc while doing your everyday things like driving, going to the gym or whatever.

For me conversations are a bit easier to digest. At least you have multiple voices, emotions and the words people choose while speaking are often less technical compared to writing. Audiobooks are more monotone. The advantage with podcast is that those people are able to describe their thoughts into detail in a friendly environment, there’s more quality in those conversations compared to classic interviews we saw 10 years ago.

Had to drive 3 hours today, listened to The Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx and a geopolitical podcast where I had to catch up a few episodes. Good use of time compared to listening to music or the radio.

Maybe I should open a long form audio thread so we can share good podcasts/audiobooks/lectures here. Been thinking about that for a while.

Cool explanation on your perspective. I get hearing thinkers and doers in their own voices can be cool, and audio has a more direct impact on the brain.

But this also probably reflects the general lack of "dead time" in my life... i.e., time that I am doing something or am in a place where I can just play audio to fill the hour. I don't commute to an office. I almost never drive anymore. Though I do daily walks and listen to music though.

That kind of lean-back, passive consumption of someone's streaming media feed is pretty rare for me in general. Partly by design, as I'd read an RSS feed before I'd listen to a Spotify playlist.

Respect to this man.

I wouldn't be so generous to dole out respect for self-preservation. You do realize that he would naturally view Kenyan voter demand for U.S. aid, and remittance money that might come in from the U.S., as a threat to his political legitimacy.

Unless the guy is pocketing most of it himself, it's just a way to void his national sovereignty.

So now helping families with children is a bad

You know deep down in your heart no republican and most Democrats don’t give a shit about the children. Don’t gaslight.

If republicans truly cared like you say , then they would introduce is free lunch to school children instead of them starving . And free health care to children . But you know they won’t and you know exactly why they won’t .

Let’s not even get into the topic of school shootings and gun control.

Respect
Seems like corrupt people attract each other. This goon was the president of Kenya from 2013 to 2022 and was one of the worst. He is just rambling for cheap media points.

So they hire 3% disabled across the department each year, and then the suggestion is that somehow this is linked to a rise in safety concerns.

As if they are going to put someone who is severely mentally disabled or blind in charge of air traffic control tasks

Those people could always just run for US president instead...

But at least the CDC has a gag order. No tuberculosis blow-up going on in Kansas.

You don’t have Free School lunch or Medicare for underprivileged kids in your state? Sad.

Good to see Trump in the press room, real leader there. Took Biden three and a half years to finally do a press conference and looked lost. KJP blinking and stuttering looking at her notes, giving vague responses.

Meanwhile

what the actual fuck. it's not common sense, it's the dumbest thing that could be said. okay, not sure about that, let's see what nomuken has to add

btw as far as i know all people involved (pilots, air traffic controller, even musk) are white. only the baboon is orange

25th Jan ,Trump posts about how he's made aviation safe and practically owning this... now he's blaming Democrats, Biden and diversity...
Not even 2 weeks in charge and America is fucked... only another 4 years of this shit mess.

Respect to this man.

Before you say respect, you need to realize that's one of the most corrupt thieving ex leaders of Africa.


Even Trump would say "hold up, that's step too far" compared to this guy.

 

[Nomuken]

@Lion Oh I see. Yeah, we don’t have starving children in schools here.

Doesn’t seem too many people on this thread are in the States.

When you lose the Presidency, lose the senate, and lose the House all you have left is to yell into the void like an Italian Football Club thread @Bjerknes.

Good to know, a politician in Africa corrupt? that’s a shocker.

That may be the case, however can’t tell me what he’s saying doesn’t make sense.

fuck Christians

Interesting what happened to @Elvin doesn’t happen here.

I’m not a Christian or Muslim however I wouldn’t dare disrespect anyone’s religious culture or beliefs from various groups and people around the world.

How is it not as bad as saying “Fu*k Muslims” or “Fu*k the Jews” it’s terrible and yet we have tolerance for this. Really questions the Integrity and Character of this forum site. Talk about a double standard. Smh.

an other maga alternative fact debunked:



and yes, the dear leader admitted finally that tariffs drive up prices. temporary disruption my ass though, unless you get rid of tariffs, they aren't temporary

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Now another plane crash in Philadelphia...

When does Trump blame Biden and diversity for this one too?

ah the new Monica.

 

[s4tch]

ah the new Monica.

i read that she's got a 60-something year old husband, and when they first met, matt gaetz organized a blind date for them

it's a big family.

 

[Badass J Elkann]

Lol everything in the playbook is happening and it's only going to get worse.
More lies and broken promises whilst Trump out to hurt anyone and everyone except his rich buddies. I suggest you all read the project 2025 manifesto again so you all know what's coming next

RIP America
