What is?

I stopped eating at fast food chains 10 years ago. Every once in awhile I will grab a quick burger when I am too lazy to pack a lunch. I probably go 3 or 4 timers per year, usually Wendys. It doesn’t taste as good as I remember.

I've remodeled tons of fast food restaurants to know better than to eat at any of them. Those places are vile.

Was working in a remodeled Burger King just today. The place is dirtier than the portable toilet outside is. Not sure how they even pass a health inspection.

Let me make sure I understand this correctly. So you believe that mask can't keep the coronavirus out of your body but it CAN keep oxygen out? Oxygen molecules are almost a thousand times smaller than the coronavirus molecule bro. You people are something else I swear!

Are you asking or answering for me?

I keep reading and hearing about Spotify and musicians removing music and blah blah blah over Joe Rogan. These musicians are saying it's because he, Joe Rogan, is spreading misinformation and false information on COVID and or COVID vaccines. Really? He is?? How do these musicians know what the correct and factual information is?

This boils down to these idiots basically telling everyone else that they are not allowed to have views, opinions or an opinion different from theirs. If I have an opinion and you have an opinion but neither one of us know the facts... how the fuck are you going to tell me my opinion is misinformation and yours is not?

Then you have Whoopie the racist bigot who's real name is Caryn (Karen) go figure, telling the world "y'all white people go fight amongst yourselves" and that "the Holocaust wasn't about race". Next she will say COVID was made to keep the black race down and it was made by racist White/Asians. Pffft.

4+4=13
Cancer can be cured by taking a hot bath in vinaigrette dressing.
My Lepai amplifier puts out 2,000 watts RMS using a 5V 1A power supply.
Seatbelts and helmets do more harm than good.
The Earth is flat.
Tissue paper makes a better girder for a building than steel.
Standing water freezes at 45 degrees fahrenheit.

Now, who the fvck are YOU to question my opinion or views on those things? What makes you think you or anyone else knows ANY facts that say my interpretation is incorrect, or that I am providing misinformation?

Now apply everything I wrote above to the situation of Joe Rogan giving medical advice versus what is coming from the medical community around the world.
The key is that there ARE plenty of things that have been proved and can be considered fact, and those facts can be used to either support OR contradict what someone says.
The thing is, YOU can handily disprove every statement I made above. *I* cannot prove them in any way. See where I'm going with this?

If you want to believe unproved claims simply for the sake of believing them or being contrarian, go right ahead. Buy those diet pills. Send your money to that preacher. Put those refrigerator magnets on your gas line to get 50% more gas mileage. Wear those insole that "visibly draw the toxins" out of your body through your feet.
Or, be a smart consumer and do even a LITTLE due diligence and ask for proof before you spend your hard-earned money.

If you already DO consider before spending, I'll ask WHY would you do that regarding a $20 magic insole, but not an unproved medical treatment. One being shilled by a standup comedian/MMA emcee/game-show host, who has no medical training and has no proof he can offer of his claims?

Well instead of hypothetical, because that is all your argument literally is, how about you quote, for ALL OF US HERE, exactly the medical advice Joe Rogan gave to his listeners.

I didn’t watch a single Joe Rogan episode until this week when this all happened. I watched a few now. I can’t actually believe anyone is freaking out. It’s nonsense. It’s almost like a bunch of sheep morons just saw it on Twitter and are acting like parrots but never actually watched any of it. One of them is probably named Rob.

It’s cute to see authoritarian fascists act like they have to protect everyone’s ears from hearing lies. Listening to stuff on your own is so 2019. Didn’t you hear?

You have people dying from taking things because a game show host-***-President suggested it.
Tens of millions STILL believing the election was "stolen" simply because he claimed and continues to claim it.

Rogan gets paid a shit-ton from Spotify because of the size of his audience. FOLLOWERS do something: they FOLLOW. If he is providing disinformation in a time of crisis like this, it can be a big problem.
You're old enough that you should remember a TV show comedian telling kids to take money from "dad's wallet" and send it to him. It happened. In volume. Big legal issue. Maybe you remember a certain group that killed themselves at the urging of their leader. What if he had urged them to first take out a bunch of innocents before offing themselves?
Remember those guys that flew some planes into a couple buildings, because their leader told them to?

If you don't understand how power over can be misused or abused, and why it's bad to have someone in a position of power providing misinformation to the public, I doubt anyone here could explain it to you in a way that would make sense.
Common sense.

Not fully cognizant of how many rules and regulations exist that have made your life safer, better, and probably saved it many times over, huh?
Do you actually think society would operate just fine and dandy without rules? Hell, YOU couldn't even control yourself WITH the rules in place. Just imagine if none existed at all.

You will simply call it a lie or "something people say".
To get it direct from the horse's mouth, listen to his Sept 1, 2021 podcast.

Are you going to suggest we also burn books about homeopathic medicine and religions also? Just think of all the lives you could save by burning books with opposing ideas..

Maybe the Bible should be banned from being for sale on Amazon?
