bad
good one . I love the podcast
stupid alphabet mob bullshit, skip
ohhhh nooo not the evil Christians! Unreal.
wtf is this narration? can't understand wtf this dude is saying. lol
Really REALLY great story 👏
The strong accent makes the story authentic, but combined with the crying baby in the background it makes it unlistenable.
skip. "trans" = mental illness.
teenage lesbian astronaut bullshit. pass.
There are no "revelations" in mathematics, there are only the discoveries by observant and thinking minds which describe their discoveries. In short, math is not prescriptive. It is nothing which has ever been to be revealed by deities or any supernatural supreme being. It's descriptive, meaning, it describes the facts of this universe as they are! !
forever a victim. ffs
I love how the all inclusive podcast tells people what to do with their bodies😂
Tht ending.... 😭
zzz zzz boring
nasty shit is nasty, skip
had to skip... many drugs were consumed in the making of this story... didn't get it
oh noes a big scary AR15 and "assault rifle" ahhhhh save me.......
one of those stories that could be deeply intriguing if it wasn't so preoccupied aggressively telling you it was written by a man. Born sexy yesterday trope, asshole gets all the women's attention, use of the G-slur, I could go on. I sloughed through half of this acknowledging that the author is renowned and thinking maybe I could learn something, but the forced romance and that thing men in sci-fi do where they teach women to smoke without mentioning the addiction made me want to crawl out of my skin. I don't know why this kind of fiction isn't considered unacceptable, but I do suppose this episode was recorded in 2014.
