The acoustics in Epstein's temple are actually great. I've been told

If there’s anyone to be mad at in terms of misuse of pronouns re: Ezra, it’s Ezra. This feels like the people who used to get mad at them joking about Jewish stereotypes when mocking Dershowitz.

Matty C

Agreed, though to be fair Ezra used to go by any pronoun, never really took gender or sexuality too seriously, and only recently started using they/them. I don't think they were intentionally misgendering to be malicious

Hot take, but there's nothing wrong with killing poachers

Yeah, a milli a year, but she still sounds like she's recording from Oscar the Grouch's trashcan from the Sesame Street. Ha ha. She sounds like her studio is setup in Osama Bin Laden's underground bunker, heh. It sounds like she's calling in from Steven Crowder's closet (where he is hiding too hahahaha)

teacup

I think you’re being a little uncharitable in your reading of what she said. I take it as “the right was successful at undermining routes that were open yesteryear” as opposed to “the right was successful at undermining routes that were open yesteryear, and that’s a good thing”

Yikes

Look, Ezra Miller sucks but it’s really not that hard to use the right pronouns. It’s honestly kind of hard to listen to that section, especially followed by a bit where you acknowledge they’re non-binary. Shit sucks.

Google the author of where the crawdads sing

BureaucracyNow

you’d think that a podcast that makes over a million a year could get amber a way to record that doesn’t sound like she’s live from Jeffrey Epsteins island temple

I mean, this is what she said: “Who could she sue? It’s not old school. It’s not the 90s. There’s no way to be litigious about it. She can’t sue the McDonald’s or anything.” With the added context of this conversation being inspired by the fentanyl lady’s bullshit claims, it’s pretty obviously a reference to purported lawsuit-happy frauds of past decades, the most culturally salient of these being the McDonald’s case which corporations very effectively propagandized specifically in the 1990s. This was the overwhelming belief of the public until Hot Coffee came out, so I don’t know why you can’t wrap your head around the fact that a person like Amber would make an ignorant crack about this.

If I brought up "prostitution" in the context of the 1990s, it would be obvious that I was implying your mom. All Amber said was that the fentanyl lady can't sue the McDonalds--from whose floor she picked up the supposed dollar bill. While I think Amber is wrong--the fentanyl lady COULD have sued, even today--I don't see how anyone is extrapolating from this that Amber thinks McDonalds was in the RIGHT in the famous coffee lawsuit.

The Children of Jack Acid

As an earlier reply pointed out, bringing up McDonald’s in the context of 1990s “litigiousness” makes it obvious what she was implying. I don’t understand the caping. Matt already brings the ML viewpoint to the show and communicates theory far more coherently.

I hate this fucking app

Kyle

I don't think she did anything but say you can't really expect to win law suits against a corporation anymore. You have like PTSD. Posting Traumatic Stress Disorder

Where The Crawdads Sing is I think the name of the fake screenplay from the show The B in Apartment 23. I'm not joking. The one James Vanderbeek's(blessing and peace upon him) man servant had.

K H

sounds like someone just cant handle the feminine dragon of chaos but ok

Harry P. Ness

not to mention she sounds like she's recording from the bottom of a metal trashcan

Isaac

She starts talking over everyone and blurting things out emphatically, suddenly everyone’s kind of just yelling out stuff. I agree.

Gorgeousgeorge

Of course Amber takes the conservative position on the 90’s hysteria of tort reform by mocking the McDonald’s lawsuit. Doesn’t everyone at this point know the seriousness of the plaintiff’s injuries and the millions corporations spent lobbying the media to frame the lawsuit as frivolous? Can’t believe everyone wants Amber back. The show has been at its best over the last several hundred episodes because it’s just been the original trio again.

I'm glad Amber has been on more often

I worked at a company that implemented QR codes for restaurants. I agree with your analysis, but also think that it's a symptom of tech companies needing to constantly validate their existence by delivering features that don't actually improve (and often actively degrade) a person's experience.
