Sorry, but this is a bit too much of #thathappened for me.
Thanks for apologizing
"And then everyone around us stood up and clapped at my husband's response."
I hate to say this, but this is one of the most Reddit flavoured “thathappened” posts I’ve seen on lemmy
One negative thing about Reddit's slow downfall is that all the same shitty actors will start to come over here and employ their same old boring karma farming tactics. Hopefully the way lemmy is federated keeps things from getting too shitty. Reddit's corporate overlords are getting more and more controlling. On lemmy, at least for now, you can just hop instances if you start getting cranky.
ThatHappened is a flat circle. Sometimes things are so conveniently contrived looking that they did really happen. Truth is stranger than fiction.
The most believable part is that is what a Rogen fan would say.
Maybe. But i've never actually met or talked to anyone that says shit like that. Do you guys discuss podcasts like this with friends, or even worse, randoms? It's like taking about some reality show or something, who cares what an idiot has to say about a subject. It boggles my mind.
This kind of wordvomit has to be related to close to 2 decades of 140 character limit "discussions" online. I never understood why anyone would want twitter, and i get a greater feeling of justification in my belief for every day that passes.
I've typed sentences like that in the past in online ~~shouting matches~~ discussions, does that count?
Also, yes, I discuss podcasts with friends and coworkers.
And then sometimes rogan or täte can come up, if said coworker "hates Mondays" (to use a term from Innuendo Studios excellent YouTube series on the Alt Right Playbook)
Sometimes you’re in a social gathering that’s polite and one guy invited has a bug up his ass. Like, I have a guy in my social group who keeps joking that women are going to get forced to get pregnant. All the men in the group now vocally tell him it’s not funny. He’s not even weird in other ways that are noticeable.
I’ve also met full gown men who still love Rogan and believe the sentiment of the post. They are often kind of close minded and dumb.
Just be really grateful you haven’t had the misfortune to run into these members of society haha
(I agree with your sentiment about twitter. I never saw the draw)
maybe it's less of a flat circle and more of a downward spiral.. or maybe things are just getting more and more stupid every day.. or maybe it's a cyclical decline.. or maybe THE PRESIDENT IS SELLING CARS AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Dunno. I presume something close to the second part happened, too. A Neuroscience PhD would not likely marry an imbecile.
People using the word "intellect" in the same sentence as rogan makes the first part quite unbelievable too. Also, in my experience, people also refer to themselves as PhDs or physicians, because saying "doctor" outside of formally addressing one doesn't reveal anything about what the person actually does other than their ""intellect"".
The husband quote is what I (husband of wife with masters degree), would have thought to say in the car on the way home.
My best friend's uncle's ex girlfriend was there and she said everyone clapped as well.
The husband? Albert Einstein.
I believe the first part. I dont believe the quick and clean comeback.
I do. Because it's not the first time that someone talked down to his doctor wife, and it won't be the last.
I'm sure the first time he said nothing, but by the fifteenth time, you get good at it.
Yeah, my wife has a higher level of education than me, and I get it.
Fair point honestly, i can see it.
Idk, the US is currently run by a Nazi admirer who is famous for bankrupting businesses, yet hosted a celebrity reality TV series about running a business, and while being a known adulterer is somehow generally supported by Christians in the country.
That doesn't even begin to get into the DOGE shit show... Reality right now is a massive #thathappened
yup. story's total bullshit.
Everyone clapped. It was awesome. Completely owned the guy.
