      I feel like the PR person that handled his AMA was told they’re never allowed to do social media PR ever again. That was up there with the EA or James Corbin(or w/e the fuck that dudes name is) AMA.

          One of the big happenings on reddit.

          https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/p9a1v/im_woody_harrelson_ama/

          There’s a comment with links to the actual answers but reddit is such horseshit I can’t figure out how to link a comment on mobile.

          If you want to avoid the shit site, tl;dr is woody Harrelson (or most likely some pr guy) put up a reddit AMA (ask me anything). The internet takes the anything part to heart, including a weirdly specific question about woody crashing a party and fucking a girl and never calling her. Woody (or the pr person) basically answered every question by referring to rampart, his new movie, or asking to keep the discussion related to rampart. It was a shitshow and it’s followed his name in every internet discussion for 13 years.

      Are you looking for an actual answer? From Wikipedia:

      In April 2020, Harrelson made a post on Instagram promoting the conspiracy theory that claims a link between 5G networks and COVID-19, which was later deleted.[58] In May 2022, Harrelson said he “doesn’t believe in the germ theory” and found the use of face masks as a preventative measure against COVID-19 to be “absurd”, adding, “I’m sick of like, you’re wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you’d die, you’d be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic].”

        Harrelson said he “doesn’t believe in the germ theory"

        Fucking what. We’re doomed, and we deserve it.

          Yeah, or at least about 20% of the people I used to be in contact with before I realized I’m much better off jettisoning them before I (or they…) do something irreparable

            I just nod and fake-smile a lot more.

            I just re-heard the “kitty litter for the furries” tale for the hundredth time (gotta be 5-6 years now, and EVERYONE can google!), yet here we are.

              I’m not cishet, and after I got told by a “moderate conservative” (according to his own definition and his voting preferences, anyhow) acquaintance that he thinks the world would be a better place if gender minorities didn’t exist, and that we’re all pretending anyhow, I realized that my life is going to be better without any sort of contact with his kind. Too many of them are either quietly or overtly literally dreaming of genocide

        “I’m sick of like, you’re wearing a mask, and you think it contains your breath—but if it did you’d die, you’d be breathing in your own carbon monoxide [sic].”

        JFC. How do these people believe this when it’s so easily disprovable! Just last month I put a mask on when I got to the airport for a 14 hour flight to Europe, and didn’t take it off until I was waiting for my friend to pick me up at the other end of the journey. Also slept through half the flight with the mask on.

        I’m still alive.

        edit: Hilariously I didn’t even realize until just now that he said carbon monoxide not carbon dioxide. What a moron.

        I mean, his argument is technically right, you would die if the mask was completely hermetic, it just completely misses the point that masks aren’t there to “contain your breath” but to catch particulates.

        Well that’s, something. People who clearly don’t know anything about science probably shouldn’t talk about it.

        “5g causes covid”, “I don’t believe in germ theory”. Pick one.

      Well, he never answered the best question in his Rampart AMA, so I will never forgive him.

      I swear this is a true story. I went to a high school in LA and you crashed our prom after party (Universal Hilton). You ended up taking the virginity of a girl named Roseanne. You didn’t call her afterwards. She cried a lot. Do you remember any of this and can confirm or have you been so knee deep in hollywood pooty for so long that this qualifies as a mere blip?

      /not kidding. This really happened.

      Ever heard of “The egg” theory, encarnation would not have to go with the flow of time.

      Not religious, but damn I love that theory. There is a Kurzgesagt video about it, or this one which is my favorite.

    I can’t match any features up except the eyes, so how is it that she’s totally a tiny woody? I can’t unsee but it’s all there!
