My hot take? No, it’s not

You’ll never change a mind with cruelty. You are merely selfishly expressing your anger

Best case scenario, this person now feels bad about buying a Tesla, but is now stuck with the car. They will likely have to waste resources fixing it and it may happen again. Sure, you could assume they’re rich and can afford to fix it but that wastes literal resources extracted from our planet to fix or replace the car. And if someone buys the used version they’ll have the same problem and may not be quite as rich the next time someone vandalizes the car.

More likely scenario, you piss the owner off and they dig in deeper. That’s just how humans work

I can find alternatives with enough effort, but I love me some heavy peated Scotch. The smokier the flavor the better

Good to know, thank you for the link

What VC money has Matrix taken? Genuinely curious

I was curious, so here’s the original post on Stack Overflow: Link (Archive Link)

There are classic ones like the Citadel (Mass Effect) or even Halo for the aesthetic beauty, but honestly I think I think it would be extremely serene to go to the cabin from Spirit City: Lofi Sessions. Each time I play that game I find an incredible desire to be in the cabin; my chest honestly tightens each time I think about being in such a relaxed, no-cares place with the perfect decor and perfect weather.

However, assuming this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I would probably pick somewhere unrivaled in beauty or technology (gotta pick up some useful things if I can…). I don’t think my desire for peace and tranquility can outgun the practical part of my brain

I suspected it was a smaller channel, but didn’t look myself. I haven’t heard of them up until this point so this story could be a particularly big opportunity for them, so it makes sense why they are choosing the delivery method that they are

My guy take it down a notch, damn. I’m not calling for his head on a pike, I have legitimate and valid criticisms. I apologize if the tone came off more critical than I meant it but hot hell you came in spicy.

But, to address your issue:

Why does one wrong make a right? Why does him exposing the issue invalidate any criticisms or expectations of quality or integrity? To me it does not, hence why I criticize. And I even said I was glad the information is coming to light, and I’m grateful for him drawing attention to it, I just wish it could have been done a little more tactfully is all. I would like to have all the information right now, rather than waiting for a “part 2”.

I also just don’t appreciate the stoking of anger, which has clearly worked. Ragebait is toxic and that’s what is being done with this story, from my perspective, so I don’t love it.

Sorry, friend. That sounds very toxic. I hope they stop soon

I can only assume your friend is the one who downvoted you

Also, I say “irregardless” when I want to sound like the mobster from It’s Always Sunny in Philidelphia

I’m glad this information is coming to light because I think that it should be fixed, at least as far as the affiliate link piece goes, but I find myself irritated by the sensationalism of the poster.

They’re really pushing to make this seem as evil as possible, and milking it for every drop it’s worth. Making this a two-part series and not exposing it immediately feels super shitty to me.

Just post the full information you have, if this is really so bad, stop trying to farm clips.

Also, not enough focus on the timeline. Honey’s business model has changed dramatically since it was released long ago, and I feel like the part two video is going to complain about the original Honey business model, which was literally just a coupon code aggregator, just based on the “cliffhanger” at the end

He mentions in the video that they stopped advertising that when the BBB brought it up with them.

I think for this story, the timeline is paramount. What Honey used to be compared to what it became are worlds apart. Claims they made when they were just a coupon aggregator should be considered in a different light than claims once they started partnering with vendors

• on the original D.K. game. It was fun as a kid and it’s fun to see the origins of the characters

These are “smart” channels that are mostly for entertainment but still teach you at least something:

• Stuff Made Here - fun engineering challenge videos
• Veritasium- math and physics explanations
• Mark Rober - kid friendly engineering challenges
• Technology Connections - everyday object explanations
• Steve Mould - science explanation of random concepts
• Outdoor Boys - outdoor survival
• Woodsbound Outdoors - outdoor survival
• Fireship - shorter, technology explanations
• Internet Shaquille - food and cooking explanations
• ElectroBOOM - comedic electrical engineering
• Company Man - light analysis of failed or successful companies
• Atrioc - comedic current events, marketing explanations

The outdoor survival ones are new to me, but for some reason I’m really into them.

I’d rather they not, but:

If game companies are going to do this, then they should just sell their content to Netflix or Microsoft and cash in on that licensing revenue while not having to do any of the work.

I do not understand why companies are choosing to make their own streaming services when they are just money pits that provide minimal benefit.

You could go back and stop yourself from wasting money on something silly at least

Hilariously, you only need to go back in time two days to when they minted the Luigi Mangioni coin and buy it right away (and sell at the peak). It ballooned something ridiculous like 37k% so that should set you up nicely

This is something I think about a lot.

Part of me would love to go back and redo high school.or college and just be a better student, learn more, and flirt with girls more (although now that you mention it the age thing would make it weird, you’re right). But I end up at the same conclusion - it wouldn’t be worth not meeting and marrying my wife.

It’d be so difficult to meet her again (we met on Tinder) and to make it so she’s interested in dating me. And then the relationship would be so one sided because I’d know every intimate detail of her past and she’d know nothing of mine.

So, I eventually come to the conclusion that nothing I could do in the past is worth risking her.

Similar boat. We aren’t even seeing my wife’s family because her mom is getting back together with her MAGA ex-husband and my wife just doesn’t want to be a part of that

If you haven’t already seen it, watch The Brainwashing of My Dad. It is a short documentary about this kind of experience that’s worth the quick watch
