“Oh and by the way, this is a sponsored video 🤷” and then spends half an hour sucking a company’s dick for money

That and the shampoo ad killed my interest in the channel, and ever since then I’m extremely wary of everyone. Kurzgesagt is also up there, for producing propaganda for a billionaire’s charity.

Making a 20 minute advertisement rife with misinformation and having one single statement saying the video is sponsored is bad

IIRC, it was way too confusing to be useful as an educational video

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, but AVGN himself didn’t actually plagiarize anyone, right? It’s the network in charge of his channel that did

Hey, you can name and shame, it’s alright. The video was the wildly popular Man In Cave, by the wildly popular youtuber Internet Historian. He wholesale ripped off Lucas Reilly’s Mental Floss article about the incident, pretended the video was taken down because of youtube’s famously awful copyright strike system, and then re-uploaded a hastily edited version that less obviously (but still obviously) rips off Reilly’s article.

Jesus Christ, I just looked at their schedule there’s a total of 7 hours of TTG per day. Where’s the Adventure Time? Where’s the Billy and Mandy? Where’s Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy!?

The sleep mask looks like the obvious bet. Have you ever been awake for 20 hours straight? It’s not debilitating, but after about 18 I start getting woozy. I’m gonna go with it anyway, because even if I take the penny and win the lottery, the one thing money can’t buy is time

@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Idunno, now I’m conflicted. On the one hand, having 20ish more years to enjoy life would be great, but winning the lottery via the penny would make the 40ish waking years I have left much higher quality

Incel as a term describes something much more specific than “virgin (but they don’t want to be).” That may be the literal meaning of the words, but like, we all know that the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea is not democratic, people’s, or a republic.

Incel, the way it’s typically used, describes a particular type of person who’s embittered by their long-lasting virginity, and because of that, views most or all members of the opposite sex as lesser than them, believing that they’re in some way owed sex, and have been denied that ‘right.’

I’m gonna eat a bunch of weird shit like rocks and styrofoam before I die, and confuse the shit out of whatever student gets to dissect my stomach

I make x dollars per hour

A meal at a restaurant costs roughly x dollars

I trade one hour of labor for x dollars, then trade x dollars for one meal

YOU DO THIS TOO

those numbers and papers have no intrinsic value, but are instead valuated by some dipshits and can become worthless overnight.

Remind me again what Bitcoin is

@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lmao yeah me trading an hour worth of work for a meal that I will consume is the same thing as me trading an hour of work for a nebulous pile of 1s and 0s and hoping some dipshit will pay 2 hours worth of work for them later

No matter what Wikipedia says, Aleph Null is the real way to say it, because it sounds so much cooler

Oh yeah. It’s an absolute fucking insult to the man. He didn’t actually feel any of the gravity of the situation when he remarked “now I am become death, destroyer of worlds,” he wasn’t making a reference to a religious text, he just remembered that cool time he had sex and his lover dismounted, walked over to the bookcase, pulled a random book off the shelf, and asked “what does this means?” before getting back on

It’s actually much harder to watch Oppenheimer, because you have to see him say his famous catchphrase in a scene that could show John Green how to make sex more awkward

He says, as Tatlock remounts him with the book in hand. “It’s ancient sumerian, and translates to… It’s Oppen-time-r”

Who does this brand of acceleration help? It’s not people, we die from it. Same with all the life. Is it future life that it helps? Why value potential future life over existent present life? Shouldn’t we be working as hard as we can to improve conditions instead of giving up and killing ourselves?

The fastest way to ease the pain of a broken arm is to cut it off at the shoulder, but sometimes the fastest way to do something is the worst way to do it

At least eco fascists have regard for non-human life. Eco-accelerationists seem to want all life extinguished

Depends on what you’re knowing. The world only starts to look worse and worse when you learn more about geopolitics and climate change. I’ve never had new knowledge about orbital mechanics or lockpicking or 3d printing give me a negative outlook on life

This is why I only get into old, long finished shows. Who tf is gonna cancel Witch Hunter Robin before I finish watching it? Is Sunrise gonna find animeflix’s server rooms and light em on fire?

Bro wtf where does the river come from? I tried following it upstream on gmaps but it just stops in the middle of some field. Not even a mountain or something
