Unadorned, unapologetic joy and passion are infectious. He’s a treasure

The number of people who apparently visit this site just to hate-read or because it gives them a target for condescension is kinda mind-boggling.

I mean, fuck the Herbs, but come on. 

They may be a data company, but they also use these metrics as targets / goals for the quarter or year. Fudging things this way with some kind of barely facile logic (ie: according to statistics, 61% of viewers watch together) makes it easier to hit those targets.

Youtube does it on TVs and phones as well. Then those videos get into your history and by god it’s annoying.

Um, he said that Final Fantasy has been one of the Playstation’s pillars since the beginning. Of the Playstation. That’s... true.

I had completely forgotten about that issue in my ‘89, but yeah... same here.

Literally every other story on the front page of Jalopnik is about cars. What the fuck are you actually on about?

Then I guess you’re a chump-ass, since you’re ignoring all of the people who get opportunities because of their parents despite being untalented.

I’m not up nights worrying about nepotism, but it’s clearly a fucking problem. 

Yeah, the gas brand thing isn’t a myth. My uncle is a (recently retired) chemist who worked at one of the big oil companies starting fresh out of his masters. Over his career, as recently as a couple of years ago, his team would routinely run chemical analysis of what comes out of the pump for the top 10 brands. The…

No, they didn’t directly state it, but that’s the implication. The subtext was “oh well, if they were foolish enough to fall for it, that’s on them.”
