And the millions of doses ruined because of the US own fucked up logistics. That all got memory holed I’m sure

That’s exactly how my sick cat behaved, lol

The videos cool, but something about that smugness when narrating about the german inability to recognize their own complicity in the Nazi’s genocide really got me heated. Real fucking tone deaf considering the current genocide these smug fucks support implicitly. USians, Germans, French, etc

Anyways. Muted with no subtitles this is some interesting footage, I’ve never seen WWII footage like this in color.

The first one was in a big box of pc games I got as a kid in the late 90’s, commander keen was another I remember.

Exactly! That’s their brain on idealism I guess.

Yea, I mean more that they use it as a litmus test. Shit like “Israel has a right to defend itself” and defending “Free Speech” for Nazis

Libs love tolerance for the intolerant, it’s like their version of leftist purity politics

GTA IV runs best on Linux under proton as well

I’ll play Baldur‘s Gate 3 when it’s released as abandonware

Hocus Pocus is a good one to check out, 4 games in the series, all great

Just like covid, why waste an opportunity to price gouge

Nope, and I don’t know why that trope remains. Just about anyone can get weed and try it themselves

I love peoples dipshit opinions about weed use, chalk it up under “sore losers”

Starbucks employees have had a lot of success. Might be worth reaching out to their Union and finding out how to unionize Chipotle, then start working on that process locally. That sound absolutely exhausting though and no guarantee’s of unionization

People in the west have been so used to having things their way that any sort of change is obviously the workers fault

That dickhead in charge of Chipotle specifically blamed the workers instead of taking ownership. That’s worth burning the company down I reckon

Cheating in general defeats the entire purpose of doing the thing, it’s in the name. You cheat yourself just as much, as cliche as that sounds

Those are all the same reasons I’ve been watching his stuff for years, and VWestlife even longer.

VWestlife even still makes most of his videos in like 480p with Windows Movie Maker and all in one take, he is incredibly true to how he wants to do things and I love that.

Cathode Ray Dude- mentioned elsewhere as well, generally cool dude

Tech Tangents - haven’t seen mentioned, another old tech guy that stays in his lane politically and makes cool content

Technology Connections - my favorite “well technically” nerd

VWestlife - a gem of youtube, untarnished by advertisers or thr algorithm

Dr. Angela Collier - Smart Science Dr who makes cool commie adjacent videos

Ethoslab - my one parasocial relationship is this reclusive canadian minecrafter who uploads once a month and I mostly catch on other peoples server streams

Robot Cantina - old dude that’s making diesel electric batter vehicles out of his garage for cheap, really cool electrical and mechanical engineering going on with just one dude, fabrication as well.

That’s my main “small business chud” talking point, ridiculous rents that drive up the base cost for absolutely everything and drive small businesses out.

A co-workers wife has had a used bookstore for a few years, had low rent negotiated with this cool old Chinese man. He passed away, the property was sold, and their rent is jumping so much she’ll have to close.

I foresaw this happening to them when they confided in me how precarious their business was and even then how much of what they made went towards rent despite them paying half “market value.” She doesn’t even pay herself a Salary, they just barely break even. When I asked them about it at the time it was just some nebulous future problem for them.

Probably bought the cheapiest bulkiest frozen patties dude could find at Cosco. I imagine those come down to a pretty small unit cost

schizophrenia is not inherently bad. It is not inherently dangerous.

100% this. Absolutely true. If he’s a good friend keep at it and maybe keep an eye on him if he needs help.
