He knew they’d say no. I dunno what his endgame was here, beyond a desire just to have his work be heard by people. Because unlike the courts, he knows that once it’s on the internet, it’ll stay there.

Not sure if you misread, but the hoarder *was one* of the people who formed an alliance to stop Mathias Rustemeyer (the guy who quit).

But the “more work” thing is a huge level of protection.

This is why I fucking hate Google Authenticator. I’ve had this sort of thing happen to me before and in the end I just wasn't ever able to access the associated account. I much prefer 2FA that texts or contacts your phone directly.

If you ever drove the multitude of terrible cars that came before it, you'd understand. Cars that let you down, made you nervous in bad neighborhoods, could have made you late and cost you your job and put your family at financial risk. Cars that lost all value before the payments were done. If you had to put up with…

Jesus Christ man, point taken, but can you dial back the misogyny a bit?

Am I the only “old” around here who read car magazines back in the day? One of them did an expose on this very “feature” of the GM cars at one point. It actually was not (totally) penny-pinching for once - it was fuel economy ratings!

As frequent union steward in an American union. We are not a good as we could be because everyone is attacking our right to exist. We are in fight or flight mode all the time. Liked a cornered animal we are lashing out and not getting to be our best.

In all seriousness, though, this kind of thinking is what caused Chrysler/GM to suddenly have no appealing, affordable or desirable cars when the bottom fell out of the economy or when gas prices rose - so they had to go hat-in-hand to the government for a bailout.

Sure! One of the few giant essential industries in the world where the U.S. is a leading player is farming. So naturally a bunch of manufacturers with control over a handy choke point are going to destroy it in the interest of short-term profit. It’s the American Way.

Dude, I was punching walls recently. Couldn’t figure out why. Turns out it was the collapse of morality in 2015 and then the collapse of the nation in 2020 and 2021.

The funny thing about good meaning libertarians (having been one in my youth and distinctly different than the ones selling liberatianism to the masses for personal gain) is the constant doubling down even when evidence is presented that a system of completely open markets doesn’t work. When removing/lack of…

Neutral: This week sucked. I didn’t have power for the past four days. I was fairly prepared, but there still wasn’t much we could do to help anyone else.

Think about it for just a few seconds and you can come up with any number of reasons why he limits himself in this space. Heck, he might actually have cheated on his wife before and he has set up extremely stringent boundaries as a part of repairing their relationship, which would obviously lead him to fumble a bit on…

Man I’ve said this before but y’all really gotta lay off the relationship stuff with his wife. There are an abundance of intimately personal and valid reasons for them to hold this position as a couple, and he’s always sent raids and other stuff to female streamers, it’s clearly not coming from a position of bias. You…

I mean, all things considered, he’s not exactly wrong about this:

Sounds like his avoidance with interacting with women stems from the exact fan interactions he’s talking about here.

Patton Oswalt told a story on Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast about a time in the 90s when he was seeing a Citizen Kane revival when a man sat down behind him and started a vulgar, “man of his time” running commentary about the actors in the film, muttering to themselves about who was gay and other…

what do you mean? After Burner had a couple of sequels

Pfft, that’s tame.
