Engineers are usually iffy when it comes to anything that isn't directly tied to their area of focus

Rocz is the only engineer on the podcast though. And frankly, his takes are usually the least iffy of the 3. Though come to think of it, that's probably because he usually just sticks to the engineering side of things

The guests they invite though are frequently worse than Liam, in my opinion

Peak bad guest is that time they had some rando youtuber who went so openly fash they had to apologize on the show for inviting him on lol

Azov Something if I recall, but I can't find the episode where they apologized about it

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago

Lol i think it was like a "yeah, sorry about that" from Alice, which is a very mininal apology but Alice not doubling down when shit hits the fan is in itself impressive.

That's the episode that made me unsubscribe from the patreon. They haven't done enough to apologize for that guest, and they should have taken the Palace of the Parliament episode down.

War_Takes is just the worst. says he's neither a socialist nor an anarchist, but has a big twitter banner of an American M1 Abrams tank with an antifa flag on it. Beyond parody.

In my experience furries are either anarchists or fascists with no inbetween.

Engineering attracts a certain kind of clueless person with no common sense. I was staying at a friend's house once as a kid and his father, who was an engineer, was trying to pull down a living tree with a big cable attached to the hitch of his truck. I could see like three ways this could kill him and I was like 15.
