Yeah alot of people want a health segment. I just couldn't figure out how to a cram circuit of nutrition onto a short podcast. I mean it's simple yet complex, there's a lot of subliminals message out there when you go shopping. They literally hire neurologist, psychiatrist, and psychologist to aide in facing displays.
Also, the labeling is a bit contradictory/ controversial....

you're right, let's talk about mitch romney's 47% video so we can say a bunch of shyt we already know.
or let's talk about paul ryans latest speech in wisconsin, or romneys tax returns... or any one of the other 100 distracting stories put in our mainstream media to disguise the fact we're getting fukked by both parties.
yes please, let's discuss
what did he say?
You need to understand that this is a collective group participation effort. It's not Leyet's personal soapbox. You're a good addition to the show just like everyone else. But if you just want to ramble on and on about your opinions on your pet topics, then you should just record yourself ranting unopposed for an hour.
You keeping getting all salty about people talking about things you don't want to talk about. How are you going to say fukk politics and don't talk about it when politics has always been the primary backbone, and by far the most discussed subject on HL, like KTL before it? If you want to talk about nutrition go ahead, but that isn't even a big HL topic. That's a topic for The Gym. Say what you will, but you can't be getting all mad like "fukk politics and I want to talk about eating organic food" on a podcast for a subforum that is mainly about politics.

I don't know about that. The Locker Room constantly has the same political topics as in here, with much bigger numbers.

There are more threads and posts here that pertain to politics than any other subject or field, though. That is without question. People talk about politics here more than anything else. TLR has politics threads too and they do do numbers, but they're less than 1% of the total threads there.
That's true, and at one point I tried to get more of them to post in here, but they were resistant. I never did get BK to advertise that they should probably post them in here. I got busy, but also a lot of them think cats in here are weird. But you would get much more lively discussions if they did participate.
I won't lie, a lot of times I don't catch things until you guys report it and it's mainly because we all have seen each other post. I can just look at the names and know the stance and the format of the post. Reading the same thing in the TLR is often more interesting (even if hilariously ignorant sometimes).

I certainly don't think HL posters are generally any weirder than TLR posters. Every time I lurk there I see multi-page threads of beef fukkery, people putting their whole lives and personal info out, 5000 dudes clit-riding 2 females, racial arson, dudes with vitaligo on their face putting up fake body-builder photos claiming it's them, everybody supposedly being a baller who makes a ton of money and fukks different dimes daily, and a general extension of high school. Most people here may be "nerds" or whatever but generally stable and normal minus a few notable exceptions.
i have no problem discussing politics... it's just the manner in which we discuss politics.
we focus too much on the 90% of politics that's show and tell instead of the 10% of politics that can actually bring substantial positive change for our society.
our political convos are extremely shallow.

look man, it is what it is, my critique of your anti politics point of view isn't necessarily about the substance of it, it's just that it's repetitive and lengthy. Last time it happened I also found it personally annoying cause we were just in the middle of discussion some economic policy issue when you cut in with the "nevermind all that though" viewpoint. I think as long as we can have exchanges rather than monologues it's all good. Monologues can be good too, but man, not the same thing each time
You mentioned community economics as an idea when I asked for concrete ideas to address your concerns, I think that's something we can touch on, I think small and community driven capitalism is going to be important too
Broke Wave
The GOAT
Leyet I feel what your saying to some degree but on the other hand your idea of a political discussion is usually not based on any substantive facts, its mostly based on vague diatribes about the federal reserve system and no practical soloutions. We understand the Fed isn't great but there is literally hundreds of other political issues... like if the hot button issue was farm subsidies... how would you go about discussing that?
the truth is, in real life, i am completely solutions oriented. and i feel the reason that doesnt cross over to the boards or the podcasts is because for the most part people do not want to discuss the solutions because they'd rather debate about what the problem is. which is fine, because in order to see the solution you have to see the problem first. but still we gotta have balance.
i can dig deep on the economic and political practical solutions if yall ever let me get there... but we always get stuck battling at step one about what the problem actually is.

I take a slight bit offense to Leyet saying our political convos are "shallow" when he doesn't even understand what we're talking about most of the time.
Leyet on the joint where it was me you, Looney, Zero, and Brokewave, you didn't say a word and left the call, then got on the board and ranted about how we're talking about bullshyt.
We were talking about the Ryan plan and its policy implications: whether or not these policies of privatizing Medicare, slashing the safety net, eliminating the capital gains tax, eliminating the estate tax, promising ends to loopholes that are not specified, what it would do to the deficit, etc. and if some of these policies would possibly be implemented by either party and what it would mean the people and the economy.
How is that bullshyt? That is meat and potatoes policy discussion, not shallow talk about who scored the political point of the day like how you see on the mainstream media. I think our political discussions are superior to what you usually see in the media because we spend more time talking about the nitty gritty of policy, and less about the popularity contest aspects of it. You can't say it's shallow and bullshyt just because you didn't do your homework and know what we were talking about.
and if yall wanna talk about annoying, its annoying as fukk for yall to have the same tired roundtable discussion about whatever the political hot topic is for the day, when most of that shyt is on WWE status.
the mainstream media will always feed us things to keep us distracted from real issues, especially in the political spectrum, and especially leading up to a presidential election.
we been having these same kinda discussions for 40-50 years b... time to evolve.
and im not saying we should abandon voting altogether, but we must evolve as a society to become just as active in other areas of political participation.
