I feel like Markiplier keeps improving, over time his videos have cut out a lot if padding and fluff that was the standard in old school let’s plays, but it’s not a smash cut fest like some newer youtubers are.
He also is diversifying his mediums, like the movie that he’s currently making (not a “youtuber movie”, an actual movie adapted off the game Iron Lung).
The only real controversy of his that I can think of was when he stood up for PewDiePie when he said the n-word. Mainly because they were friends. With how many years he’s been going I’m surprised there’s not more.
I don’t know if they are in touch or not, but I just remember an impassioned video of Mark shaming the growing hate group on Pewds around that incident. He talked like a stern father.
I don’t know what their status was after that, maybe he quietly cut ties after the Nazi suit or the Fiver incident, that would be the wise thing.
Theoretically speaking, UBI operates within the structure of capitalism, so it’s right wing by definition.
Practically speaking though you have supporters across the spectrum. On the left as a poverty elevation strategy, and on the libertarian right as an equaliser to enable entrepreneurs to take bigger risks.
On the right the split seems to be between those who are rich, and don’t want to pay tax to fund UBI, and those who aspire to be rich but don’t have the funds or safety net to start a business and see UBI as a way to provide it (without seeing themselves as someone who receives state aid / benefits).
It can be either depending on implementation. If created to supplement lacking welfare services I’d say it’s progressive leaning. If used to replace and prevent welfare systems (Andrew Yang style), I’d say it’s pretty libertarian leaning.
American gen-Z punk rock anarchist, for what it’s worth.
in Earthbound, there’s an exploit where you can have technically infinite PP if you put a Magic Truffle to the last slot of your inventory and buy a good amount of Ketchup Packets.
When you use the Magic Truffle in a battle, only just a Ketchup Packet will be consumed but not the truffle - you still gain 90 PP.
We (Russia) tried to assassinate Ukraine’s leader multiple times but were unsuccessful. It isn’t fair that Ukraine was successful in their attempt on our leader!
That'd probably be true for a while, but after that they'd need to start an "election" where some military commander or other higher up will take his chair.
This isn't about truth or facts. If something major happens in Russia or related to it and the president doesn't show up to talk about it, that would raise eyebrows. Now imagine that happening over and over again. Putin dying would be the perfect opportunity for the US to start swaying Russia into a civil war. They definitely don't want the president's chair to be empty and contested for.
The most useful thing to them will always be to shove anyone atop that chair before the US notices.
I hate to admit it because there’s no real reason but I have never seen The Godfather. I’ve gone almost 50 years and still haven’t sat down to watch it, or the sequels. I want to I just keep forgetting to.
A lot of horror movies end with like two people surviving, or even a man and a woman who hug each other or kiss and walk into the sunset. Good luck with your PTSD and knowing all your friends and or family members dies horribly and you got to see it.
We can only hold the problem back as long as Mexico isn’t vigilant enough on them. If I was president, I wouldn’t invade Mexico but I’d definitely be suing them (and then maybe use the money to pay off national debt; what Mexico has been doing surely makes them indebted/owe us, right? Right?)
Was Dolly done in a vat? You can clone humans no problem. It’s just the age difference that’s the problem. And you don’t get to transfer the mind but we’ll have that figure out soon too.
Maybe it’s one of those things where two or more jobs are synergetic together, like how a cleaning person might also use what they find to become an artist, or how a taxi driver might make a good game show host, because CashCab said so. Or he might be doing the videos on his work breaks.
