  • Trigger Warnings Not Included
    Oct 10 2025

    On this Seshisode of Thoughts Off The Stem, host Justin Barone jumps into an online debate about clever marketing, freedom of choice, one-sided opinions, and the softening of a triggered society.


    This is where overthinking, oversensitivity, outrage, and clever marketing collide. Join the sesh as Justin dives into the debate on freedom, personal choice, and why some people manage to get triggered by absolutely nothing.


    That’s right — we’re tackling marketing controversies, social sensitivity, and the absurdity of overthinking how something looks. Sensitivity is at an all-time high, and society’s now projecting fears and discomfort onto inanimate objects — because apparently everything’s offensive.


    Justin shares his take with sharp sarcasm, biting humor, and unapologetic wit, serving up laughs and logic in equal measure.


    Perfect for fans of comedy, edgy humor, and sarcastic takes on modern life.


    Trigger warnings… not included.
