It’s a burner account. I want to engage, debate, and test ideas without being forever married to a possible throwaway comment. That OK with you?

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@Triwidow50 @Sky5Tim @damonheller Or a whole lotta people fled the industry, found new work, and they’re not coming back.

Im sure some people saved up and are taking an extended break but that doesn’t explain the depth of the lack of help in hospitality & restaurants.

It’s not always the narrative.

@alwaysgreen99 @SheaBUTTAskin @Thevaultjmu414 @deray @billmaher You can accomplish one without the other.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@TripxFontaine @m_bt54 @HannahRKeyser @espn Well I mean at some point we all draw a line and make a determination.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@TripxFontaine @m_bt54 @HannahRKeyser @espn We’re headed down the road towards the topics of “problematizing” and “problematization.”

@The_Hof24 @gharley75 @acm21111 @David_Alongi @HannahRKeyser The Trump interview definitely bothered me, I’ll grant you that.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@acm21111 Should they partner with MLB? Or vice versa? I guess that a business decision.

Women’s hockey told them to fuck off for the reasons you and others have stated which I thought was a TERRIBLE move, costing them a platform to promote their league in its infancy.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@acm21111 Fair enough. I think part of this boils down to (1) Are you a young, (2) Are you the target audience, (3) Can you hang with this kind of humor?

If you don’t meet some or all of this criteria Barstool might not be for you.

There’s plenty BS stuff I don’t get. Some of it I hate.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@acm21111 @zamboni_jumponi @MichaelJ251 @charles___954 @NBonzella Some of that is shock jock antics (including the Ponder thing). Some of that is people trying to push the boundaries and (in some cases) failing. Some of it might be fucked up (I see a coupe of firings there).

Imagine an equally sober analysis of Howard Stern.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@TripxFontaine @m_bt54 @HannahRKeyser @espn Well it does put them in context.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@zamboni_jumponi @jordanpatrick32 @HannahRKeyser I googled and read. It’s a handful of tweets and comments.

I hate that Dave likes Trump and did that ballwashing interview. I also think Pardon My Take is a perfectly fine show. The sex tape was weird, the barstool fund was solid.

It’s not all or nothing

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@NCCaniac42 @HannahRKeyser @dagmar27 Barstool can have issues without being as bad as some people here say. It’s not all or nothing.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@zamboni_jumponi @MichaelJ251 @charles___954 @NBonzella @HannahRKeyser Ok so lay out the case for misogyny against barstool. I’ll listen.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@TripxFontaine @m_bt54 @HannahRKeyser @espn @TripxFontaine so what’s the damning evidence against barstool?

Every platform has fans it can’t fully control but the “stoolies” are pretty tame compared to stern/O&A fans & quite honestly compared to maga/antifa twitter warriors.

There’s certainly some total assholes but 🤷‍♂️

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@TheSusuBunny @HannahRKeyser I don’t think it’s really like that. Barstool has a lot of male energy but it also puts women in position to succeed.

And What content do you really find totally offensive?

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@acm21111 @David_Alongi @HannahRKeyser What things are we talking about exactly? For ALL the shit Dave has said in front of a camera/microphone there’s like one or two comments people bring up. And they’re pretty much one off comments. Now the sex tape is kinda fucked up but 🤷‍♂️ it was consensual

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@HeadAsploding @Chasicle1982 @Mayita883 @suniljoed @Phil_Lewis_ I’m glad the people saying “well it sounds like” aren’t cops trying to determine if it’s a cell phone or a gun.

[humourmeter @humourmeter]

@Chasicle1982 @Mayita883 @suniljoed @Phil_Lewis_ There’s lots of people buying into lies on the right. But everyone everywhere is doing it too much now. People with hair trigger reactions and no chill who are in a race to freak the fuck out, without evidence or an interest in the facts.

@GaryCuzz @Rockies @MLB By jumping to conclusions everyone here just handed the MAGA fuck heads a W and ammunition they can use when a potentially more credible claim is made. Congratulations dummies.
