His idea of foreplay is “Brace yourself, babe”.

Dude. I’m in that particular time of the month and I think every “Would U” answer of mine would be “yeah, sure.” That makes me feel better about it.

but what if he refers to the “luxury tents” at fyre as giants’ diaphragms?

Girl, you know he would buy you the world’s shittiest coral atoll surrounded by grouchy sharks and covered in old cigarette butts and empty beer bottles because it’s where the stoner junior high kids hang out.

Not only is it generally risky to hitch your entire profit model to one horse, but when they’re as mercurial and flaky a horse as Google it seems especially foolish. They’ve totally bungled almost every social platform they ever tried to launch save for Gmail.

heaven forbid people can’t play games for a living. this might be the one time i say ‘check your privelege’ unironically.

The only difference is the speculative nature of the work.

I wouldn’t equate one’s hustle to the same thing as speculating on collector’s items.

Not sure how that is coming off as an asshole. That is simple logic and good advice I expect any sensible adult to have. Some people have bet everything in turning Youtube into a “career” and have been lucky (or skilled enough) for it to work. Others have failed and put themselves into a difficult position

Why are these self entitled nerds upset that huge names like Pepsi and Coke don’t want their ads to be associated with their videos? Ethan and Hila bitch about it often, but the dude makes so many sexual and offensive jokes and expects a behemoth like Pepsi to care about his ad revenue? These people are hilarious.

This is one of the main issues with this whole Youtube as a job revolution.

I’m not going to say that making YouTube is not “real” work. But I will say it was always obviously and blaringly clear that it was extremely risky work which you should have known was risky and non-guaranteed when you picked it as your livelihood. It was always gold rush. The bubble was always going to burst.

depends on their work experience I guess, because Professional Streamer looks pretty bad on a resume

On the other hand, he decided to pin his family’s source of revenue to an unpredictable and changing platform that he has no control over. It was a risky maneuver that did not pan out. Vlogging as a primary method of making a living is about as sensible as investing in Beanie Babies.

Meanwhile in 200CC: Be first, get hit by a single green shell, end up 9th.

Ugh it pains me that vegans like that exist.

I wonder sometime if Switch is people’s first new game system that they seem so perplexed that in the few months following launch there aren’t constant new releases.

So i have a co worker who i talk to about video games even though she doesnt play. I was explaining to her Persona 5 and the story arc of the first palace. She looks at me deadeyed and said she doesnt like how this game sounds.
