Random Internet Shit you've come across

This is so damn funny if only because I couldn't agree more. I'm kind of surprised that podcasts are still even a thing. Certainly, they're loosing more market share everyday than AM/FM radio.

I've become way more discriminating with what I listen to podcast-wise. There are so many me-toos out there and they are all interviewing the same damn people. It's just like when the "insiders" all went on the Sunday morning news program tours.

I prefer the long form conversations on some of the podcasts as long as the conversation is interesting & something I want to learn more of, but some of these folks just talk & yuk it up to hear themselves. Lex Friedman has some good ones. Rogan is good when it's not the comedians or UFC stuff.

That's just thing. There are only a handful of shows that are worth a listen and the rest are just blah blah blah, me too repeats of all the same BS and guys who are just in love with their own voices. And really, this isn't just my opinion. With the exceptions of the Joe Rogan's out there, the podcast industry is in a major decline and I don't see a recovery.

What I could never understand is the niche markets like Jeep podcasts. I've been asked countless times to be a part of these shows and I tried listening to a few just to see if it was worth it and OH MY FRICKIN GOD, I just wanted to stab myself in the ear they were so lame and boring. But then, that's just me.
 
The ugly truth is that the HR departments and the recruitment offices of many government agencies are heavily populated with or even controlled by these rainbow types- so guess what they push and guess who they hire? In most FedGov agencies being active in DEI will fast track your promotions, consequently guess who ends up in leadership positions and guess what agenda they champion? Employees who aren’t rainbow types are heavily ‘encouraged’ to be ‘allies’ of the rainbow types. Being an ‘ally’ means you actively demonstrate your ‘support’ or loyalty to the rainbow, failure to do so singles you out. Many employees don’t actually believe in this shit but they do not want to jeopardize their livelihood so they succumb to peer pressure. This is not my opinion or some conspiracy theory.

If Trump gets elected he needs to ban DEI from the military and all FedGov agencies.
Yes - Literally every day I get atleast 2 emails about some DEI related stuff. If you can be a DEI hire - they will fast track you in. Merit and credentials do not mean jack anymore - they want to fill the varied identity checkboxes. I guess you can always self-identify as (insert x minority group here) lol. There is such a thing as "trans-racial" nowadays ya know. :ROFLMAO:
 
I do not really care where someone is from - what their sexual orientation is or whatever their religion is. Where i draw the line is when I am told I need to participate in some one else's fantasy (pretend) so they do not feel bad. Its really sad to see where the country is heading - you cannot say sir or madam in the military anymore. Shoot i remember last year someone tried to report that the American flag hanging on my cubicle made them feel "uncomfortable & unsafe" - without getting into detail where I was at, it should not have even been a thing. If your going to work for the government - try and stick to defense (they are the least moronic) - public sector has gone full retard. I don't know of any industries anymore where people care more about the work/business they are in - then forcing people into an ideology and fantasy. Maybe the trades ? Fabrication ? Welding ?
