    "Jimmy, you have to indicate fate in a way that Spencer can read." Good gravy, that's cryptic.

      PresidentAlone true (I used to be a subscriber). It would be nice if Harmontown could have a business model similar to Joe Rogan's podcast, but there must be some reason or another why it can't work that way.

      Harmontown only makes money through feral audio and subscribers. Dan and Jeff don't make any money off the podcast. Only the production staff and editors make chump change off the paid subscribers and ad revenue. Wouldn't the world be better if everyone was like fucking Joe Rogan? NO NO NO NO NO. The world would be better with more Dan Harmon's then Joe Rogan's any fucking day of the week. Is this an old comment or something?

    Diegesis in filmDefinition.
    In filmmaking, the term is used to name the story depicted on screen,
    as opposed to the story in real time that the screen narrative is about.
    Diegesis may concern elements, such as characters, events, and things within the main or primary narrative.
    Harmon's reaction was like "I don't have time to educate fools" :D

    That D&D situation was painful to watch, but it was actually pretty informative.
    The improvers understandably did not understand now to deffer to a GM
    The GM understandably did not know how to interpret a subjective input into a subjective output.

    Dan was being such an asshole about the "human die" thing, he should have just let that guy improvise the results of whatever they wanted to be done.
    "I throw a tomahawk at the beast."
    "The tomahawk soars through the air, the light catching it beautiful in the sunlight... only to land 2 feet short of the beast."
    THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WHAT THEY DID, GOOD LORD
    And thank GOD for Scott Adsit, because he bridged the gap between Harmon's inanity and the rest of the group's understanding. I mean, I love Harmon, but holy CRAP was that frustrating.

    Dan is right about pretty much everything. He just needs to except that cultural progress is bigger than one man, all he can do is try to do what you can do, and understand that things are better now because previous generations made progress in even worse times.

      If by that you mean offering another point of view, non-white, then you are right. He spoke up when it was necessary because the three white guys were talking about black people's struggles and hopes. Was he supposed to stay there like a prop and speak only when spoken to?
