He drank the kool aid and is now in full blown culture warrior mode.

Even if you think transphobic jokes are funny, he does them way too much and for too long and his comedy suffers for it.

He’s always been the king of terrible takes (how old is 15 really?), it’s just that he used to be skinny and have a higher pitched voice and yell the word “bitch” a lot, so he was sort of like a clown in a way. His stand up was always about race relations, and while the jokes were great back in the day, modern observations on current events mean you have to choose a side, and being an insanely rich gen xer, he chose conservative.

dangblingus,

He literally called himself a TERF (trans exclusionary radical feminist) in one of his standups. It literally means he doesn’t think that Trans people should have equal rights as everyone else.

dangblingus,

Literally the last 5 or 6 of his specials he’s made “dunking on trans people” the meat of the runtime.

dangblingus,

She openly tweets about people pretending to be trans to get sympathies, she donates to anti-trans political groups, the only time she opens her mouth is to say some dumb ass shit about trans women not being women. How many examples do you require?

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

dangblingus,

Yeah, I too can make wildly lofty promises that probably won’t need to ever be verified.

What happened to the PC games (or what happened to consoles)?

I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I’m coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it’d be one thing if I just wasn’t seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and...

dangblingus,

GPUs are dirt cheap right now.

dangblingus,

I keep hearing this, but I’ve never encountered it. Still only given a tip screen on debit machines at regular sit down restaurants. Never once seen it in a fast food or retail environment.

dangblingus,

But that’s literally what the gratuity is for. Conscientious restaurants want to make sure their staff gets a little something something from a large party, auto grats are for that reason. If they expect a tip on top of that, something is wrong.

dangblingus, (edited )

The “fuck you pay your staff” sentiment is very valid, however, you shouldn’t reward a business that doesn’t pay their staff well with your money. The reality is, every single restaurant pays their staff a slave wage for the work they have to perform. Even chain restaurants work their employees like dogs. People who excel in the restaurant biz are hard working mfers.

dangblingus,

Okay, that’s insane. Part of the social contract we have in tipping culture is that your server is supposed to be a superstar. Crazy nightmare dinner rushes aside, no waters???

dangblingus,

Barbers generally have to rent chairs in salons, so a massive chunk of the fee you pay them goes directly to the salon owner.

dangblingus,

Yes. Same thing with hair salons. Many tattoo artists are regular working class people who pay money to the shop owner to be able to have a chair/bed to tattoo people on.

dangblingus,

Many times shops dictate fees. If you are getting tattooed by the owner of the shop, their fee might be exactly what they take home at night, in which case, I don’t feel compelled to tip, but if you were tattooed by one of their artists, I’d tip. They pay the shop owner to work there in many cases.

dangblingus,

Ridiculous. I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating there. I get it, it’s supposed to guarantee a tip for your server, but that’s breaking the tipping social contract. I don’t know if your server is actually good at their job. Not only that, but it doesn’t sound like you ever receive service in this place.

dangblingus,

Wow! You must be rich, mister!

dangblingus,

Because as we all know, bacteria stay put and do not travel to anything else, even if it touches the bacteria laden surface.

dangblingus,

Watch is more convenient, it’s also insanely insecure. Watch out for NFC scanners in public.

dangblingus,

As opposed to using debit or credit, which is also owned and controlled by all of the major credit card companies.

dangblingus,

What is this comment? Who talks like this?

dangblingus,

Ahh yes, floppy disks, where if you breathe on it, you just corrupted 1.44 megabytes of data.

dangblingus,

Sounds inconvenient! I take it back. Secure yes. Convenient no.

dangblingus,

This is definitely not normal sibling interactions. It is categorically creepy and the direction makes it seem like theyre romantic partners.

dangblingus,

It’s the direction of the commercial. The editing, the long drawn out eye contact, the lack of family likeness. The director shot it like a romance.

dangblingus,

It was controversial even at the time.

dangblingus,

Maybe that’s actually why they support fascism-lite?
