Right or wrong (I think right, personally), a lot of people have a lot of time on their hands because they're sitting at home due to a pandemic (while loved ones are getting sick). This is different than normal "cancelling" over a bad joke; it's about being tired of misinformation being spread that is elongating this virus and causing countless deaths.

Not a big fan of Rogan but he isn't spreading misinformation, he's speaking his mind, voicing his opinion. There was a time only a few years ago when this was a time honored concept called Freedom of Speech.

  I agree. I think he has some dumb takes on things, but I actually signed UP for spotify as a result. Before I was just using a combination of adblockers to block 90% of spotify's ads.

  It’s pretty crazy how anyone talking outside of the party line is now a racist and a anti-vaxxer and god knows what. You can’t stop people from thinking differently from you unless you’re willing to instate a China-level state

  >People are still sitting at home? That is not my experience even a little bit. In a company I work for not a single person came back to our local office, in fact, many people decided to move further away from the city and we said publicly that forced coming back to the office will mean changing jobs for us. That's coming from ~150 developers and testers. Even my neighbour who works in a call centre works 4 of 5 days from home... Like is anyone coming back to your fancy cubicles or dirty openspaces?

    I wasn’t specifically talking about work. Where I live feels as close to pre-pandemic as it ever has.

  Yeah since I got vaccinated I've been going out every weekend, most people ignoring the mask mandates and local pols have given up on speaking about or trying to enforce them lol.
