other times to listen to him

but those are usually his experiences at Vice

I prefer actually entertaining background noise, like history or game stream clips

dito

been listening to alot of Critical Role for that, turns out though 3+ hours a day isn't really that much for background noise

also i find those reddit readers kinda good for background noise, not proud of that one.

I get it, it's like putting on an audiobook of short stories

yah more or less

Extra History has been my main staple

I have them in the background allot while doing chores and whatnot

@Jokerfaic even after that videogames cause violence bs they pulled?

the extra credit guys seemed to be good at first, but last time i listened to them i was like "yah these guys have jumped the railing, not gonna spend any time with them anymore"

their 'credits' series is open to bias, yeah, but their history playlists are objective

I dissagree

how so?

was their irish famen one that made me stop trusting them.

they wanted to say that somehow it was free markets that caused said famen.

.... no... that's not at all what was said

Ireland was a net exporter of food during the famine

I have no idea where you got that

It was just potatoes

I don't remember all of what was said, but if you like i can go back and listen to it again to point said points out.

they mentioned that the prevailing factions in british parliament were split over market philosophies

they never said "free market caused starvation"

it's gonna take like 50 min for me to go back over all of it.

more then that really

take your time, you won't find any anti-capitalist rhetoric

that just wasn't a point mentioned. ever.

all i remember is there was an undertone at the time that mixed with everything else they were doing at the time got me to stop listening to them.

the larges lesson that should have been learned form all of that is "this is why you diversify your crops"

they laid out very plainly that while the root cause of the famine was a biological malady, it was exaserbated by apathy and general contempt for Catholic Irish in Protestant British parliament

and also, as a side note, a desire to not interfere with market forces

that's not saying "free markets killed people"

I haven't even gotten through the first half of the first vid, can you give me a bit?

whatever :/

well if that's how you are gonna be I won't spend the hour of time to find my train of thought at the time.
I don't trust them for several reasons, nither their game design stuff or their history stuff.

fine and well, just saying your complaint was unfounded

and your assertion that my complaint is unfounded is also unfounded but i'm not gonna take the time to dig into the points i had at the time.

you claimed they blamed the famine on free markets... that's just demonstrably false

look, I already said i'm not gonna watch the hour of chatter to find the points that made me distrust them, and no it wasn't an open "the free markets caused this" but there was very much shade of that flavor in there somewhere.

if you trust them you are more then welcome to do so, this is just one point where i stopped trusting them.
