There's been a ton of anti-Native racism in my part of the US recently so hearing Yugopnik mention that making fun of Native names is something he regrets was nice. That sentiment of respecting other people's languages and cultures is unfortunately rare these days.

[@CraigKeidel]

Sadly anti-Native sentiment seems to be pretty prevalent all over the US.

I can't believe they made an entire episode on Crowder without even referencing the "It's Sam Seder, what a f*cking nightmare!!" thing

[@omarqasirov8754]

"Oh...there they are! OH NO, The Deprogram! What a F*cking nightmare!" - Cold Feet Crowder probably.

[@whenyousawsayu]

Y’all forgot about the time crowder once said that he “ reared his bisexual head”. It really speaks to the crossdressing and other behaviors.

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

It's sad to watch. Somebody who so clearly knows what they want but represses it. To the point it kind of leaks out. Like bro, just go out and be the flamboyant drag queen you want to be. I admire folks like that. It speaks to incredible inner strength to be brave enough to just be. To not worry about judgment constantly. And I'm sad for those who can't do that and have to hide parts of themselves. It's a terrible waste.

The road to millennial conservativism is paved with rich parents and the crushed dreams of Hollywood/Broadway rejects.

Both wrong. It’s growing older which makes fiscal responsibility non-avoidable… (especially if more than one mouth to feed is present) this is quickly followed by the realization of how much money the govt takes from you and the market realities in general

[@therat1117]

Not all enbies are trans, my guy lol.

[@mirrenmoomin6314]

@@therat1117yes? Transitioning from a binary gender to a non binary gender is kinda trans??? Like sure some NBs don’t call themselves trans but most do.

[@therat1117]

@@mirrenmoomin6314 That isn't a transition though. I was always genderqueer, I was just put into boxes as a youth. I am trans cuz I'm using hormones to biosculpt my appearance, but that makes me transsexual, not transgender, a term which I consider overused for anyone neither man nor woman. Especially if they aren't transitioning, just coming out.

[@velkettin]

​@@therat1117 transition isn't a requirement to be transgender anyway? nobody *has* to call themselves trans and the line between cis/nonbinary/trans can be thin but the term has been used to include nonbinary people and the like for decades regardless of transition plans or lack thereof

[@therat1117]

@@velkettin Look I'm old enough that I predate the term 'non-binary', and before about 2016 we all called ourselves genderqueers before the cis decided we ought to be called non-binary, a worse term, and kept saying it until we weren't allowed to use our own word anymore. And I can tell you, nobody called us trans back then because we were our own category (I'm also trans, but for other reasons). And how is someone meant to be trans if they don't transition somehow, even our beloved crossdresser comrades transition when they get dressed. That's what the 'trans' part is for. If you aren't that, then you're probably a genderqueer/enby like the rest of us. Not that people shouldn't call themselves as they like, I'm just grumpy that we keep getting sidelined in our needs because people generalise our issues as trans issues, when they can be very different.

Yugopnik becoming a furry because of baldurs gate and lola bunny is perhaps the funniest development in this show

[@JohnHunterPlayerr]

“Rhyme was big for him” I died at that.

[@Atoll-ok1zm]

I remember the whole anti sjw era of the internet. Man did I bite hard, though in my defense I was in middle school at the time. Started out as laughing at cringy femminists, progressed to sexism and racism, whole deal. Oddly enough it contributed greatly to my radicalization when I realized, after being ostracized from most of my friend groups, that the problem was me and not them. Next few years I actually learned a little in school, and over the next few years moved from clueless conservative, to liberal, socdem, to a proud and much happier with myself communist. Was it che that said something along the lines of "a communist fights with love in his heart"?

[@Stupididiot67]

I did the same but I’m more of a demsoc than a full blown commie. The “jokes” I made in 2016 on my shitty edgy meme account are the most unfunny shit ever

[@dougjaffray-StMoP-]

Im getting all four of my wisdom teeth out next Thursday, so i can attest to how expensive it is. Even with two different dental insurances (mine and my wifes) covering 80% of the cost, its still costing me $1200 because insurance considers anesthesia elective despite not being given a choice, and thats not counting the consultation. The consultation (just for them to do x-rays and for them to tell me what i already knew had to be done) cost me $300 and wasnt covered by insurance at all. Its astounding to me that it costs so much, to me whether you have a problem like mine, where your wisdom tooth is rotting out and your gums are getting infected over it, or not you should be able to get it done for free at the point of service. If i didnt have a decent union job, and savings to pay for it, i would be basically condemned to a life of tooth pain, and health problems related to the infection im developing.

[@themadman5615]

I wish you the best of luck with that, my friend. My personal experience was hell, given my allergies, but since you can have anesthetic it should be a bit easier. Still, it's going to be a process, and I wish you the best of luck with it.

I'm a dental assistant in New York State and I can tell you we most definitely don't have public dental care, and good dental coverage is rare and hard to come by. I wish we did, because people don't appreciate how important healthy teeth are to their overall health.

[@NimbleBit-rg1du]

@ JT, I live about an hour and a half from Chatt. It's a nice place that has beautiful nature all around it. Me and my family have thought about heading out there as well.

[@orion10x10]

JT picked a good brand for the headphones but he got the $40 ones 😭😂 as an audio tech I could never, oh god. but among the podcasting industry their more expensive ATH-M50x model is standard, I also have friends who master music professionally who use those headphones. Also the Shure SM7B is the standard for mics, I would never guess Yugopnik was using a phone to record his audio though so whatever y'all are doing is great, much love from Dallas! 🤠 (I want to leave too JT, someone send help)

[@SecondThought]

The M50x are the ones I use! I misremembered the price

[@artakaworks7821]

I think the cheapest ones are the M20X's, which are like 40$. Honestly most Audio Technica are like the ThinkPads of headphones. Even the cheapest ones are decent quality and durable as hell 🔥

[@CraigKeidel]

As long as the response is neutral and you have a passing idea of what you're doing I don't really think the boys need top notch hardware. Hell even ten years ago I was using Sennheiser HD 206s for rough pre-mixing on band tracking.

[@acid4413]

Ahh when i had to get my wisdom tooth pulled i got charged $800 just for some private dentist to tell me it would be another $1000 to pull it but if it was shattered or something (completely up to his discretion if it is) it would be another $2000 which i couldnt afford so after a few months of getting a nearly unlimited amount of painkillers and moving to another state to avoid being homeless i got it pulled for free a couple hours after i made an appointment at some clinic run by a charity organization or something

Amateur. I have been ignoring my wisdom teeth for fifteen years. First they came out at an angle, then cracked and started scraping my cheeks, eventually got ground down to knobs to a point that my gums started closing around them again, and **only then** i went to have them removed. It was only around 300$ for four teeth

[@katiemarshall4340]

Hey Boi's I'll put Hakim to shame here, in the UK (more specifically Scotland) any tooth removal is free baby!!! As I'm a ruddy cripple it's permanently free for me, free dental care is necessary and great for heart health. No slight to you of course Dr Hakim but I love bragging about the NHS because it's so bloody amazing.

Dental care is one of those things were even in the old ""socialist"" (lol) Europe we too can enjoy the wonders of private healthcare. We have mostly public universal healthcare (although the EU has been years now enforcing "liberalisation" and countries like Germany or Netherlands work with a combination of private insurance and public stuff) but it doesn't cover dental care or eye care. So it is freaking expensive and every so and so there is a scandal with one of those "cheap" dental franchises involved

[@Freeaviator]

34:30 a What?!

[@angryyordle4640]

The interesting thing is that there have been several accounts by people that have either worked with Crowder or are also political commentators of Crowder actually holding much less reactionary and conservative political views behind the scenes. Basically he tries to be as racist as he can on the show because he knows it'll get him an audience, not because he actually shares those beliefs

[@correctrper2941]

i think that just makes it worse honestly. but also I think people like that start to believe it after a while.
