re: Joe Rogan is seriously thinking about moving to Texas because of L.A. shutdown

Honestly how is this affecting Rogan? He's still doing podcasts from his house. He has a personal gym in his house to work out. Has all the frozen wild game he could want. Has all the weed he could smoke. He's still working for UFC. Is he low on DMT or something? How is this affecting him?

I think rogan will be fine smoking joints on his 40+ acre compound, or in the city of Austin

That round rock downtown is too vibrant to pass up I guess

i just always considered the ikea and outlet malls to be the downtown area.

Downtown round rock is fun in like a downtown Hammond kind of way one strip of bars/restaurants that are cheap and nice and a good change of pace. But not something Rogan would be crying he couldn’t go to

I do love me some slap box pizza after a night of drinking

Rogan said he’d vote for Trump over Biden. On a scale of 0 to 100 with 0 being as far left as you can go and 100 being as far right as you can go, I’d imagine he’d be at a 40 on that chart. People beyond a 30 or a 70 I don’t think can be reasoned with to vote for the other side.

The problem in our current cultural environment is that the 20% on either end of the spectrum see the other 80% as the enemy. Doesn't matter if they agree with you part of the time or even most of the time. If they're not in ideological lockstep, they must be crushed. Politicians, cable "news" shows, talk radio and the internet encourage this mindset and benefit from it. It's rampant on the poliboard, but there are left wing sites that are every bit as toxic. I don't know how we get out of this mess, but if we don't figure out how to work together, we'll continue down this spiral. A first step would be recognizing that "our" side is just as guilty of it as those other guys.
