1 in 5 people catching covid have long covid, but fuck you if you don’t want to take that risk in exchange for some treats. Just get yourself and everyone you know infected again and again, it’s fine.
(Apologies comrades, but both archive failed to work, and nitter looks broken, possibly due to Elon banning third party apps?)
I'd like to pair this with her assertion a couple weeks ago that China fumbled their covid response because "they didn't buy enough western vaccines"
She's on a bad take marathon
... let me just call up my geopolitical arch-rival who is gearing up for a genocidal 3rd world war against me and buy their medicine
The first episode I've listened to in over a year and she just shits out this take in the first ten minutes, I just turned it off like give me a fuckin break, if I wanted to listen to that asinine level of analysis I'd wacth CNN
While I guess not as bad her "mastodon is bad because too many mods" take seems designed to irritate me specifically and has basically the same structure of treat defending backed with severe misunderstanding of what is being criticized. I'm rapidly starting to find her more annoying than Liam.
Rocz and Devon do all the work. Alice and Liam just say shitty things and soak up free money.
Also except for Devon they're all admitted alcoholics who aren't even trying to quit, so the patreon is just enabling them tbh. Liam's excuse is "I used to be addicted to heroin, so this is nothing."
I do believe Liam’s been trying to quit/severely cut back lately from a couple comments he’s made on the last few episodes

Probably not. especially if you're expected to appear on webcam and write coherent emails and make coherent phone calls.
Because, and yes this varies to some extent, but in the case of WTYP they make enough now (at least 30K a month now, probably more, so probably 10K a month for reach of them, 120K a year), you get way more disposable income than you do from a normal job and you're literally allowed to be drunk on the job, which you only have to do once a week, or in the case of WTYP, once every whenever they feel like it.
Meh. That's never been a good excuse when actors or comedians punch down or say problematic shit, so why should this be an excuse for podcasters?
this implies I or anyone else has the power to do otherwise, lmao. Was I stopping WTYP by criticizing them? No, of course not. When you say "let them have their vices", the subtext is "don't publicly push back when they're wrong!"
things nobody said. Besides, I can't withdraw my patreon money from them because i never gave it to them in the first place

You left out the part where she stated "it also gives them a good excuse to continue their actions in Xinjiang"
lmao holy shit you're right, my brain straight up blocked it out
Put me off the TF extended universe. Still going to keep bootlegging TF itself for Riley's financial news summaries but not giving them a penny.
This is the way

How does that even work? Like forget any bias or doubts about Xinjiang, how from her POV would covid help their actions? Excuse more lockdowns? according to this pov seems they already have everyone in camps so that wont change anything
