I don’t know how true it is... but his rationale for Mr Beast burger was that he wanted to help struggling restaurants during the pandemic stay afloat. Believe what you will... but it doesn’t seem like he was lying here.

I know it’s easy to be “rich man bad” but I’m having trouble finding any kind of evidence…

He makes WAY more money on his non-philanthropy stuff... He could easily make way more money just doing his game show things...

That being said... with the current environment. I think it’s a good thing that someone could make a ton of money with videos about curing blindness, building wells, etc than whatever Real…

The reason behind this guy’s success has been written about and published dating all the way back to Think and Grow Rich. We’ve seen it documented in Psycho Cybernetics and again in The Secret. His success can be boiled down to 2 main factors. 1. An unwavering belief in oneself. 2. His level of gifting of the income…

So horribly exploitive, using your platform and power to help people see or give people water. Just the worst.

“I’d like to not have to think about MrBeast anymore”

When I bought a used Lincoln in Oklahoma, my sales guy spent most of the time we were together loudly complaining about the female sales agent at the desk next to him, including talking about how bad she is at her job and threatening her with a crescent wrench. She didn’t seem super jazzed to be there.

Lots of issues with this and I’m surprised you didn’t really point them out at all. Did they take into account the number of people in each position that responded? It doesn’t look like it. I would put good money on betting at least 90% of respondents are in positions where they had time during the work day to…

The discrepancy you noticed actually makes up most of the pay gap elsewhere too (note: not the whole pay gap, there are other unfortunate things that lead to women making less and I don’t want to imply otherwise). The “70c on the dollar thing” is largely explained by womens’ career choices, choosing to be a…

You wouldn’t be making 200k here either - the people who responded to the survey were all dealership owners and upper-level management. From the sources I found, car salesmen are making 50-100k depending on how they do.

It is obviously a serious skewed sample. No, 85% of staff at a dealership is NOT management and owners, get a grip. Most likely they mailed the surveys out, and guess who gets the mail? Hint - it’s not the guy at the parts counter making $20/hr.

Automotive News polled over 1,000 dealership employees, of which 85 percent were men and 13 percent were women. The survey showed that 82 percent of men polled were in manager/owner positions, while just 56 percent of women polled were in that category

Re-reading Kotaku’s review of the game- outlining how terrible it supposedly is, and the long debates around it in the comments section is hilarious in light of the fact that the game is actually well liked and apparently a lot of fun- is pretty hilarious these days. Kotaku’s obsession with messaging over actually…

Also nice to see 6 of the top 12 games being single player, and that’s not counting Diablo which is to me, mostly a single player game. 

Most critics who reviewed the game in good faith gave it a decent score. We get it you wanted the game to fail

Yeah sure, 84/85 metacritic but “wasn’t a hit with critics” 😄

Honestly, Pauly Shore seems like the perfect person to play Richard Simmons. Compare his stoner weirdo schtick from the 90s to Richard Simmons’ onstage persona and they’re pretty damn close. If Shore can nail the off-stage gravitas that the teaser alludes to then I’m on board.

I’m not a fan of Pauly Shore, but I’d love to be surprised by this. It’s a known fact that many comics one would not expect to have the chops to put in a good, dramatic performance, not to mention sensitive and touching, including the most surprising of all, Andrew Dice Clay.

Now, I watched the trailer, and despite the fact that Shore bears a striking resemblance to Simmons (the voice isn’t bad either), I’m held back by a few things. First and foremost: the biopic is unauthorized. That’s right, Simmons—who’s chosen to live outside of the spotlight since 2014—hasn’t signed off on any…

WandaVision started out as something really interesting, but man did they bork the landing. It went from a meta-commentary on TV in general to a bog-standard mid-air laser/punch fight that could’ve been in any MCU movie or show.

I just don’t get the love for WandaVision, fun at first, terrible towards the end. That ending was beyond cringe, “they’ll never know what you sacrificed”, was as bad as most Youtube hate videos made it out to be, she killed people, mind-kidnapped hundreds? Thousands? All because she lost Vis to Thanos, like literally…
