The white savior complex of Mr. Beast videos can be pretty rough, but I really don’t hate him like other people do. Dude got his money started by saying words thousands of times and makes a big deal out of being a good person with his money. When other YouTubers in his sphere get famous by filming dead bodies in suicide forests and proudly hoarding as much money as possible, I have to respect the guy whose making networks of food bank and makes a point out of being a good friend. He saw the SunnyV2 video on Kris and said that he didn’t give two fucks about how Kris’ transition affected the company because she’s his friend and it’s her life. The Mr. Beast subreddit also took transphobia way more seriously than I expected them to, and they widely said it was because Mr. Beast content is about being a good friend, bigotry and concern trolling had no quarter.

At worst, Mr. Beast is a well meaning lib. As much as I don’t like the practices, he’s a good community guy who wants to bring people together. Mr. Beast making organizing charity a cool thing to do is good.

Open source people are also open bar people

Crazy that although Mr. Beast has old clips of transphobic jokes, Mr. Beast handled Kris coming out fantastic. Linus talked about Emily like Linus was banning the transphobic comments just to keep decorum for the business. Mr. Beast talked about Kris like he was offended that people were insulting his friend.

If you told me 5 years ago I’d end up liking Mr. Beast and turning away from LTT, I don’t think I would have believed it

They’re good, old techtuber. Used to be a really big company until one of the guys they hired to help expand just fucked up everything. Very well informed but he’s still an entertainer

Also to add, this looks like a doctor’s office/pharmacy and not a liquor store. Probably trying to keep people from stealing shit or getting prescriptions under fake names.

Most do but scanners aren’t cheap or perfect. There are scannable fakes.

It’s easier to just say no and not take the business if you think it’s a risk. Don’t wanna lose your liquor license to a babyfaced undercover cop testing fake IDs. I’m not saying our laws on alcohol aren’t ridiculous, but as a business owner it makes sense to protect your ability to sell alcohol when it’s your money maker.

Tek Syndicate surprisingly came out with one of the best takes I’ve seen on this situation. This could be a real damaging moment for LTT, but getting an employee union could address the criticism perfectly.

Watermark does a lot for spreading websites. iFunny and 9Gag should not have had the staying power they had in the ages they did, they were pretty much entirely propped up by their watermarks. Unintrusive stuff like transparent logos with a link are cool. As long as the purpose of the watermark is for the image to actually be shared rather than lock it into the site, it’s effective.

Yeah, children are still people, they can pick their own names

Extremely old and extremely young people get them

Phishing. Unless he provided some sort of specific information, it’s just bait and nothing to worry about. Honestly, these people are dumb too. Even psychics know when they’re finding new people, they just say something super specific and hope it matches. The signs that say “Clara, I’m waiting for you” and shit

I miss Google play music. Shit was fire.

When I was in high school, I heard someone say “I don’t know why poverty exists when we can just 3d print money”. What the 3d has to do with this, I do not know

No idea, this is the first thread I’ve seen about it. It was my main instance so I’m kinda worried.

I have no idea how Source went from being so taxing to so insubstantial in the course of a few years. By the time I really got into gaming around 2010, Source games were the ones we’d throw on our shit box laptops and play together in class.

Metro 2033. I used to play it on my Dad’s slightly more powerful machine until I could upgrade my machine. One of the best examples of art direction and great graphics being utilized together. Last Light looks like a PS4 game no matter what platform you play it on. Easily one of the best looking games ever.

Just wanna say, dude was truly one of us. What’s more genius than getting an entire field started by doing a shit ton of coke and writing mommy dom fan fic? He is proof that the best way to get the good answer is to just give the wrong answer and wait for people to respond.

We can trash on him all we want, absolutely GOATED tho

I mean, think of it this way. I’m into BDSM. However, I’m not into being absolutely nothing in the dynamic. Calling my partner master owner or mistress feels weird. I just want a more powerful term for her where the power dynamic is completely removed from anything loving.

Her: “Have you been a good sub for me today?”

People who don’t say mommy: “Yes CEO, I got that quarterly report finished for you.”
