"There's ideas where I'll start it off and it's just like this ain't going anywhere... and then I'll find a whole other angle.... like what if I was a woman..."

"... and I was watching this and I'm looking at this fucking meathead on stage and I'm like okay, like, I got to figure out a way to get them to understand that just cuz I look like this doesn't mean I'm a bad guy. Like like let me like work this into your head first and then explain it from my perspective.... It's an automatic assumption.... it's an untold prejudice that, like, men with muscles in particular are assholes... a mean person...."

Joe Rogan, explaining his comedy-writing methodology and reflecting on life in this gendered world.

 

Elsewhere in the conversation — at  15:12 — describes a confrontation with 2 women: "I was at a Starbucks the other day and two lesbians walked in. They saw me and they left.... They said, 'We can't, we can't do this.' And they looked in my face and they said, 'We can't do this,' and they left."

He's like a progressive lesbian deflector. I need to get me one of those.

A binary complement of sex-correlated attributes (e.g. sexual orientation) is indeed an inspiration for human evolution and creation.

He should’ve broke into a little “Hammatime” jig accompanied by exclaiming, “You can’t touch this” to send the Sappho devotees on their way.

The treatment Joe described.....can extrapolate to how an all out elimination Hunger Games or Civil War could happen.

I couldn't tell whether the "lesbians" were averse to Joe Rogan, the well-known person, or to a muscled-up tattoo'd guy, the automatic asshole.

How did he know they were lesbians? Was he making an assumption based on their appearance?

He doesn’t know if the lesbians were reacting to Joe the man or the Joe man with muscles and tattoos or Joes the man who in their minds helped Trump get elected. He doesn’t know but an embrace of and seems plausible…

They weren’t interested in him. Ipso facto, lesbians.

Curious George said...

"How did he know they were lesbians?" Well, if he was in Madison they would have crew cuts, flannel shirts, construction boots, and spiked dog collars on. And would be referred to as Alders.

The first car I bought was a Subaru. It was the early '80s and I got it because it was a station wagon and I wanted the extra space for my German Shepherd. I tried to teach my boyfriend to drive it (manual transmission) and ended up with a car that wouldn't go into second gear - I had to skip to third. I always blamed him (he was a jock, why wasn't he coordinated enough to shift gears?), but now I'm not sure that transmission problems aren't a thing with a lot of Subarus.

Eventually it got taken out by a deer, a big buck that disappeared (not on its own) after the police officer confirmed that it was indeed a deer I hit and when the tow truck driver showed up to get the car. I went from "Oh, look, Bambi!" every time I saw a deer to "Get those forest rats away from the streets!".

There aren't many absolutes, like I'm drawing breath right now and I know it's keeping me alive, other than that, most of life is relatives, relativity, themo-dynamics, Einstein, Feynman and refinement.

There seems to be an aversion to that, an aversion to uncertainty, which, to listen to some physicists tell it, it's the biggest mystery (I wrote misery first) of all.

An example of 'absolute' is the show 'Pluribus'. I don't believe people would want to live like that.

Sigh. Read the post, the entire quoted part, then come back and apologize.

We've lost the important distinction between "can't" and "won't."

It's a [blank] thing, you wouldn't understand. But you can get a bunch of people who do understand on a Signal chat.

Jupiter said...

Really? It's entirely possible that the last time I went to the supermarket, the mere sight of me was enough to cause two or more lesbians to flee in existential panic. After all, I don't shave every day.
But if that occurred, I did not notice, because why would I? I was looking for grapefruit, not lesbians. Fresh-squeezed orange-grapefruit juice is my latest self-indulgence. The frozen stuff is so expensive you might as well go with fresh (Maybe that's true of lesbians also? Dunno. I've seen the frozen kind, but I've never tried squeezing one).

Maybe Joe should have an assistant do his shopping.

"I couldn't tell whether the "lesbians" were averse to Joe Rogan, the well-known person, or to a muscled-up tattoo'd guy, the automatic asshole."

Many lesbians of the butch persuasion aspire to look like tatted-up, muscled-up guys themselves. When they saw Joe they realized they could never compete with the real thing, and left in despair.

Dear rage-fueled leftist lesbians. Feeling is mutual - stay away from polite society. In fact - please move to pluto. tx.

Peachy said...

I'll bet this is another rage-fueled lesbian.
Or a pal of Mark

Peachy said...

Leftwing lesbians are behind a lot of mass meme lies.
Like "Trump is going to round up and kill all the gays!"

A rage-fueled broken lesbian started that rumor. I'd bet.

Try going a full day without ever making any assumption about anyone or anything based on appearance.

Burn all the boats, with Joe Rogan's mutilated body in one of them.

"And they looked in in my face and they said, 'We can't do this,' and they left."

Did anyone else have a vision of a Victorian woman fanning herself due to the "vapors"? This kind of delicate, fragile mentality (so damn common these days) is why I generally can't stand other women. What if they had missed Joe Rogan by a few minutes, and sat in the very chair he was JUST sitting in? Would they catch the vapors anyway? Would their butts be covered in misogyny afterwards?

It also reminds me of some of the deeply religious people I've known. They would decline to stay in an establishment due to "satanic" vibes or a "lack of Christ's presence". Very little difference between the two.

"I was at a Starbucks the other day and two lesbians walked in. They saw me and they left.... They said, 'We can't, we can't do this.'"

Yet, I bet they pride themselves on their tolerance.

Cruelly Neutral said...

Just like some people devote themselves to studying "body language" because they believe therein lies considerable information, information can be gleaned from someone's appearance.

Do lesbians in the United States face discrimination? On the one hand, Renée Good was murdered. On the other hand, certain social media influencers are highly compensated to downplay or relativize such crimes.

Rustygrommet said...

70% of all lesbian marriages end in divorce. Also. They are more likely to be arrested for domestic abuse.

And they looked in my face and they said, 'We can't do this,' and they left."

Consider yourself blessed.

I can't speak for Joe, but where I live - one of the bluest areas of the country - they make no secret of it ... be it appearance or actions. Often both.

And they looked at me like I was a rat in the toilet bowl and they said, 'We can't do this,' and they left.

Maybe consider not posting.

Renee Good was "murdered" in the same sense that a escaping criminal that pulls a gun on a cop is "murdered" when their choices lead to the inevitable.

bagoh20 said...

I was at a the lunch counter the other day and two white women walked in. They saw my black sister and me and they left.... They said, 'We can't, we can't do this.' And they looked in my face and they said, 'We can't do this,' and they left.

"Renee Good was "murdered" in the same sense..."

Leftists use words to obfuscate, not communicate.

What’s interesting to me is that lesbians are now being stereotyped, and for probably a majority, and maybe even a significant portion of the country the stereotype has become decidedly negative. Leftist lesbos have become a laughing stock to at least the right. The idea that they went lesbo because they are too fat, ugly, and crazy to get and hang onto a guy. Nothing virtuous about being a loser in life. Just pity.

Yes, for some lesbos, it isn’t a voluntary decision. Some are really homosexual. I have known some. But for many of the most militant, they went lesbo by choice. They are actually wired as bi or hetero. And many of those come from failed heterosexual marriages.

If you meet them, as a guy, you can very often determine which is which. There is essentially no male/female fission with the homo lesbians. If they are male haters, they are almost inevitably hetero lesbians.

In any case, coming out as lesbo, is seen more and more as just announcing that they are losers in life, and not the virtue signaling that they want you to think. No one really wants to know what consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedrooms. But advertising that you are too big, fat, ugly, tasteless, and stupid, to get a guy, is no longer a good way of garnering sympathy with many Americans.

No. Renee Good wasn’t “murdered”. She just won herself a Darwin Award. She fled being arrested by federal LEOs, and that became a violent felony when she struck and injured one of the LEOs with her two ton deadly weapon. And we all know what would have happened if she hadn’t been shot there - likely a heavily armed, trigger happy, SWAT raid on her and her partner’s house. We all know that, so we don’t do that sort of thing.

Back in 1987, they were considered one of two good snow cars. We looked at one, because we needed a good snow car for an expected 150 mile round trip daily commute on the CO freeways. We went with an Audi Quattro, because it seemed like every Subaru owners we knew had turtles theirs on slick roads. They inevitably walked away, because they were very safe, otherwise.

Fast forward almost 40 years. Maybe my best friend drives one, as do his three (beautiful and straight) daughters. He lives in N ID, and they live in that area, with all three having gone to college in nearby MT. And while service isn’t all that they could want, it’s certainly better than for Audis, with one dealer in the entire state of MT, maybe 4 hours away from us on clear roads.

They appear to be very good snow cars, after they fixed the turtling problem. Popular in CO for that reason. Boulder, in particular, is full of them.

Joe Bar said...

We had a Subaru once. Bought it before we shipped out to Germany. Definitely NOT the car for the Autobahns in 1987. We did manage to tour a lot of Europe on it, though.
