Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.
Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.
I cant say the same for a lot of other people.
Actually the one who was clearly out to impress daddy did the best, 2 years later he proved his business model could work and got bought out. Probably because he mentally tied his entire self worth to the project and just refused to be told it wouldnt work.
No thats “Are you mad at me now daddy!?!”
I mean, I know 3 people who launched “Startups” and 2 of them had serious “ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW DADDY!?!” energy.
NFS Underground 2. I will pay full price on preorder to EA.
Thats 3 promises broken at once.
Yeah thats kind of the whole point of social media. You post, people comment.
I see more reposted memes about the song than times I hear it.
If people shut the fuck about it, Nobody would care.
I think that in a practical sense theres also a difference between drinking water and water to top up a swimming pool or run a sprinkler for hours a day to keep your lawn perfect.
Policing or regulating this in any meaningful way would be a nightmare but its a legitimate counterpoint.
Theres something enormously satisfying about asking the question “And are you willing to give me that in writing?”
Then watching them squirm as something in their brain goes full Ackbar “ITS A TRAP!”
Because Nintendo games on Nintendo handhelds almost never go wrong and you know what parents love? Their kids shit always just working. You dont have to check the system specs, you buy the game at the store and it WORKS. You wrap the game under a tree at Xmas, you can tell grandma “Nintendo Switch” and while she might pick something shit, its going to work.
Lemmings love to act like they are enlightened for figuring out the Steam deck is better… its not for you. Its for 5 to 10 year olds.
IMO the guy kind of has a point but mostly not.
Take website builders like Squarespace and stuff like that, you can be super good at using the tools to generate an excellent looking page and do it in a fraction of the time it might take someone else. Sure its a skill, one you probably spent time and effort developing, but it doesnt make you a web developer and if someone uses the tools to exactly copy your work pretty much exactly, yeah that sucks but your just using someone elses tools.
Or building a really cool and “unique” car using off the shelf aftermarket parts. Theres literally nothing stopping someone else just doing the same thing using your car as a template.
I get the “why” he is upset, but… I dont care.
I laugh every time I see the words “literally unplayable” because of minor headache
Started with Atari 2600, now VR simrig racing.
Yes it was. It was so frigging good.
They do damn near 10/10 work when they give a fuck, Thats probably the worst part.
Siege was damn near perfect as a tactical competitive shooter for the first few years. The Division was great, Just Cause was enormous fun and so on.
The problem is they hit a winner, and then milk it and milk it and milk it until we hate it or them.
I go hard on my cuts, the logic is like if I were doing no-fap November would I casually look at a bit of porn here and there? No, that would make it suck more and make it feel longer. Id rather get the results in 8 weeks of suck than 12. Theres room for pizza once I get back to maintenance.
If you cant provide me with a recipe link for that I’m going to make it my mission in life to find out where you live and make you pay.
Mushroom pizza is absolutely and unreservedly my favorite thing to eat anywhere ever and probably always will be and that particular one looks like about the best one I’ve ever seen.
I am also in the middle of a cutting phase, pizza is absolutely off the menu at the moment and I am physically angry that you made me look at this.
LTT is tech content like Donut media is Automotive content. It’s edutainment at most.
I find it funny the amount of hate that LTT gets, it’s niche entertainment and you can watch it absolutely free anywhere in the world and Linus rejected a 9 figure sum to keep ownership of something he built, say that out loud… “He turned down over $100,000,000.” Yes they flog merch and have floatplane and all that bullshit but that’s how they stay independent.
You can take Donut and Motortrend as examples of how it all goes to shit. MT were YT only, then moved to their own paid streaming platform, then sold out to a network and told all their international subscribers to kick rocks because the network deal was more money.
Or the Donut route, where you get bought by venture capital who suck all the fun out of the job, try to monetise everything and wind up having all the talent leave and go start their own channels because they took a fun job and just made it a job.
Well I mean, it IS a step up from my current jobs policy which is “Yes you need a car to get here, no we arent providing one and if you don’t have one you don’t have a job”
I generally go with “so I guess I’ll just go fuck myself” or “then she woke up talking bout pressing charges so I pulled my dick out her ass and left”
