[insert low-effort Jew joke here]
See, I made that joke without making it obvious. Sometimes I just forget this is a forum for autists bullying other autists.
Autistic? Perhaps. Though it's part of a broader point about a certain level of laziness and lack of attention to detail they have in their reporting. A frequent example is not taking the time to learn the pronunciations of the names of the people they reference. It shows a lack of care that makes you start wondering what other little details they're missing.
They're journalists who take pride in nuanced and fact-based reporting. That's how they present themselves: reporting on Internet bullshit and getting into the weeds. Is it wrong to hold them to a higher standard than some random retards with a microphone shooting the shit?
I mean, yeah? Kind of? It's their job? A stupid job, sure, but one which they're paid rather well to perform. I discontinued Primo last month for this reason. If it's not a topic that directly relates to them or their single area of expertise (troonery) then they are mostly useless. The video game coverage a couple months back was just dire, and I'm dreading the prospect of them discussing the recent stupid drama on Twitter surrounding Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.
They used to have someone called "The Mysterious Lex" who goes by LexerLux on both Reddit and Twitter. He seems odd and it's unclear what he actually did for them. Neither host announced his departure which makes me think he was quietly let go.
He does seem odd. More degenerate than Trace, who seemed to be able to balance out his weird with a socially functioning, normie side to his personality.
Makes me think he trooned.
I only mention MX records because they're mentioned literally seconds after the words "email server" and were quickly explained as "Just a way of looking up who owns or operates a website", which seems contradictory to "This genius did an MX record lookup and assumed they hosted our entire site."
If you looked at the MX records for my personal websites, by this logic, you'd think protonmail owned/operated all of them. Do you not see how these little ambiguities add up to muddy a reader/listener's understanding as a whole? The devil is in the details, as they say. Giving the correct answer would've taken up 2 extra seconds of runtime; seems worth the effort to me.
It comes down to how many stories they have to report per month as a 3-person (counting 2 0.5 support staff) operation. I enjoy the show but it’s hard to argue that they cut corners pretty outrageously.
Refusal to learn anything beyond the bare minimum needed, or not having any curiosity or wanting to learn for the sake of learning is part of why society is such a mess.
