I do kinda love Dan’s depiction of shower-takers as basically the football team in Revenge of the Nerds. All of society is a ravening group of homophobic (not sure I see the connection here) bullies cruelly mocking Dan. Even the medical professional who wants him to stop getting UTIs.

Dan used to go absolutely bananas about doctors, insisting that they were just serial killers who had enough of a support system that they were able to go to college.

a lot of the time he talked about surgeons specifically which honestly he's not far off, a ton of surgeons are 100% sociopaths, mostly because residencies tend to be highly abusive

Here's the poo poo-posting article that came up
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-world/2019/03/15/shitposting-inspirational-terrorism-and-the-christchurch-mosque-massacre/
Rob has been writing for us on a while on 8chan and these mass shootings, they're all worth checking out.

As requested in the podcast, we've looked into why Jeff got the email about Epstein asking for BitCoins. Turns out there's a Jeff "Davies" in Epstein's black book, and the uncensored version has an email address. We've asked Rob to check it's Jeff's actual email address.

Seconding this. I forgot where I heard about it, but I listened to pretty much all of it in a couple days.

Which, upon reflection, probably wasn't the best idea.

Everyone ripped on him and his book, and his lack of research or understanding, and he left the site very quickly.

Edit: and from my understanding, it is a very bizarre idea to name a book "it came from something awful" when the "it" in question is an unrelated image board created by a guy who got banned for something awful. The relationship kind of ends right there.

I'll be flying to the states in early November and if there's a show I'll probably take a couple of days to reach LA and watch harmontown, but so far I didn't see any shows were scheduled beyond this month.

Edit: oh so looks like the site was updated.
