Which involved one laughing at me, and telling me to stop being silly and be serious when I was being serious.
and the other one being a christnut that, in their christlike duty, decided to bilk me for a few thousand dollars before telling me I needed to go to church and submit to jesus, because being a godless heathen was why i had my problems.
edit.
Not tryin to gate keep ya or play who has the best misery, to be clear. Just sympathizing.
Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17
Roosterteeth started circling the drain for me when they were shilling those bullshit sugar pills that were supposed to make you a better gamer. Alpha Brain i think it was called?
And I completely fucked off of them when they shilled perscription pill mills to their young/underage audience, then Geoff…the massive piece of shit that he is, tried to deflect all the criticism away by claiming he has ED and twisting all the criticism into attacks against his supposed medical issue.
Then, years later, you found out about how abusive and miserable it was to work there for anyone that wasnt a face, how they exploited their fanbase for unpaid work, and how everyone behind the scenes was either a racist piece of shit to the non-white staff (Which really makes you look back at some of the on screen interaction with ray differently), or were A-OK with all the racist shit being said (which makes you a racist too, dipshit).
I dont know how the fuck it hasnt collapsed as a company yet.
I used to watch Big Clive and supported him on Patreon.
Then he started going off on wild shit about weird conspiracy theories about vapes being harmless, and government just wanting to get rid of them and lying about the lung damage or something to that accord… and of course, Covid had to come into it to, where he made wild claims about it just being a regular flu and the whole response was blown out of proportion and really dismissing it as a threat.
I dont know how far he’s fallen since then since I cancelled my patreon and fucked off from viewing.
I just recently started watching him, so I’m kinda bouncing around from his old stuff to his recent stuff, and i’m not really noticing a significant difference besides what you would expect with time and experience.
I mean, I do get the pretentiousness, bit it feels like its more played for laughs as a character and not real? at least to me?
But like I said before, I just started watching him, and i only watch the game videos, none of the podcasts or anything, so I don’t have any basis to even have an opinion yet, much less make any solid statements, just curious about info and whats being talked about… Which is why i appreciate the reply with examples.
Though I could definitely understand a tonal shift happening if some random entitled internet fuckface randomly showed up at his door.
I’unno. I’ve seen a few of his videos too, and he strikes me as a cunt as well. I will admit I’ve not watched enough to say that for an absolute fact that he is actually a cunt, but I can say that what I have seen has definitely done nothing but encourage me to avoid him.
I’d wager the war goes from internal, to internal civil war, if Putin dies, as various power blocks try either secure their own positions/power, or reach for more.
assuming they didnt try to blame the west, which then things get far more worse for NATO states, and possibly hot
Not much, I’m currently on Linux (Nobara) and update almost every day, which usually demands a reboot… and if that doesnt happen, then power outages happen.
I think my record uptime was on Windows 7 at around 150ish days.
Do you mean Watch TV as in DVD/streaming, or do you mean watch broadcast TV?
If its Broadcast TV, None. Ever since Tochinoshin retired from sumo I dont watch broadcast anymore. short of like, breaking news or something.
If by DVD/Streaming… I dont know, maybe an hour in the evening? I have something on all the time, but most entirely for background noise and not being watched.
The best way to invalidate a lie detector test is to not take one, because you can not be forced to take one unless you are applying for a job to the CIA.
Phrenology is more legitimate than polygraphs, and Prenology is nothing but bunk hokum.
speak very basic and plain. don’t use coloqualisms, don’t use slang, etc.
One guy told a cop “I want my lawyer, dog”, and and they never got him one saying there were no dog lawyers, and the courts…of course, backed up the police, in clear violation of common sense and decency.
The only functional use a polygraph has is as a tool of intimidation and coercion to people who are uninformed about the true nature of the device and how the handler can manipulate the results.
Which is why daytime TV shows like Dr.Phil looooooooooooved polygraphs.
Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I’d prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I’d have to order and wait a few days to get…So I’m wondering what some of those things may be for you?
Used to be so many stores that sold parts for self repair. Most of them have disappeared (at least around me), and the few that remain are either a ridiculous drive away, or ridiculously expensive. Like, sure, I could drive 3 hours to your store, buy the part I need for 70 bucks, and drive 3 hours back home.
Or I can go online and order the part and have it in a day or two for less than quarter of the price.
There are plenty of other cheaper, better made cars out there, that don’t have stupid bullshit like charging you to replace the entire backseat because the seatbelts stained.
They preferred to delay the flight while they unloaded our baggage
Thats the part that would have me launched to the moon on a red hot rage rocket.
Cant take 30 seconds to let me board because your shitty fucking service told me it was delayed? But you’ll delay the plane 20 minutes to dig my baggage out of the hold and make everyone elses day on board miserable?
What kind of United Airlines level of pure customer hatred is that?!
I won’t go back to BK, because BK has gotten brain damage and thinks its fine dinning and that its okay to charge ridiculous sums of money for shitty burgers.
Shitty burgers that I was okay eating when they were 2 bucks, but I aint paying no 7+ dollars for that bullshit. Nah. Fuck you. Pull your heads out of your asses.
Also, in my experience, the ice cream/shake machines are never actually broken… They’re just a PITA to clean so no one wants to run them and have to clean them after shift.
Not to mention demanding accoutn owners be responsible for hundreds to thousands of dollars of fraudulent purchases made when their account gets hacked and stolen, Often telling them they cant have their account until they pay off all the hackers debt.
Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality....
because Reductio ad absurdum is easier than confronting hard truths they don’t want to accept and possibly risk firing off a dreadful thing called a “thought” in that inert mass of jello they call a brain.
Upvote/DownVote/Likes/Thumbs Up/Etc etc are all bullshit and have ruined online discourse by, for the majority of online interactions, gamifying and distilling it into whatever reaction the poster… on some subconscious if not conscious level, whatever will get them the most positive praise and trigger that dopamine dump in the brain.
And thats when its not just dogpiling people who are saying things that are true, but you just dont want to hear.
internet would be better if this shit never existed.
Because 20 years of social media have programed people to behave in very fake, upvote/like/positive attention dopamine reward center overdriving manners of actions to maximize attention and reward.
