It’s whiny out of context. But imagine doing public speaking for 60 hours a week with audience members recording everything you say to try and twist it out of context. Then throw in the endless character assassinations, death threats, and the fact he covers genocides… I couldn’t do the job he does.

This quote is out of context. He explained that streaming itself isn’t what is hard, it’s having everything he says taken out of context, the endless death threats, and the constant character assassinations. Also, he was working 60-70 hour weeks.

Reminder that cognitive decline starts at 40. By 70, your mind is mere shadow of what it once was. Yes, even Bernie is a shadow of the man he was when he was 40.

It’s like most things in America - if you’re doing ok then it’s great, and if you’re not then the rest of the country just pretends you don’t exist.

That truly is the US in a nutshell. The US is fantastic if you are in the top 20% (and you have zero empathy for people you don’t know), otherwise this country sucks.

Define better. They eat healthier (lower rates of diabetes and obesity), but they also spend less money on cosmetics.

Jokes aside, as an American, I wish the US had lost the revolutionary war. Commonwealth territories ended up with socialized healthcare, a far better democracy, and far better labor rights, while the US ended up with fascist oligarchy. No thanks. I’d gladly trade my coffee for tea if it means I get a real democracy instead of a fascist oligarchy

Nicht wahr. I failed my first Discrete Math exam trying to teach myself using only the provided resources (professor, text book, notes, etc). The only reason I passed with a C was because I was able to watch lectures from better professors on YouTube.

I have also used YouTube to fix my car and many other things. Old Reddit (corporate social media) was a very valuable resource of knowledge.

Every single human accomplishment of note was only made possible through social bonds and social collaboration. We need each other. We need tight knit communities, but since so much of the soul of our race has been eroded by capitalist zombie consumerism and the atomization of individuals through car dependent urban sprawl, we are sometimes forced to rely on social media to meet that need.

Driving is inherently stressful. Hell, merely being around cars is proven to negatively impact your health: https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/newsroom/editorial/are-you-noticing-the-harmful-noise

Worse, too often these laws are selectively enforced only when cops are looking for an excuse to profile minorities and poorer drivers.

I would fully agree that confronting a lunatic face to face is dangerous, but the chances of getting shot for driving slow is next to zero.

They have Gold Sickness which is a cancer of the soul.

God I hate to use this word but it’s the only one that works… cucked.

Owned is a great word for this. Nearly all our news outlets are owned by billionaires which leaves journalists next to zero ownership over what they are allowed to write and how they are allowed to frame things.

Maybe in Europe, but in the US At-will employment means that you can be fired at any moment without cause, without warning and without severance.

It is unusual and I don’t like it, but I wouldn’t say it is bad. If I liked the person I would probably come to like the name.

I never tried that, but if you fill a bottle with water and submerge it in water then you can drill holes in the glass without it shattering

Also, DJT is just the tip of late-stage-capitalism’s iceberg of evil so wake me up after we abolish billionaires, convert all large companies into worker co-ops, and design our cities to be walkable places connected by public transportation

The Christian one should be a missionary actually helping people. Christian faith that only exists in church is a false faith

It is heart breaking to see Germany begin to give in to fascism again. What happened to “never again!” ???

Too true. I was just banned on Reddit for liking too many pro-Luigi posts
