Peak redpilled content
- Comment on unnecessary expense 3 weeks ago:
The problem is that anyone has a net worth that high to begin with. Nobody is able to work that much harder than a regular worker.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 3 weeks ago:
I think its quite a different thing for someone who has a net worth in the millions. It’s not the same at all for someone living paycheck to paycheck.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 3 weeks ago:
I really don’t see how that makes much of a difference. The CEOs can just leave if the board doesn’t pay them what they want. And since the boards want them specifically as CEOs, they end up paying what the CEOs are asking for. So the CEOs are paying themselves with some extra steps. Or am I missing something?
- Comment on My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate. 3 weeks ago:
The delta P you’re talking about has much much higher ambient pressure than what is the case here.
And even underwater there is a limit to delta P.
- Comment on From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs? 4 weeks ago:
Ah yes, local markets, where nobody is trying to sell anything

The least sexy thing in your post is how miserable your sister seems to be.
Humor is sexy. If a woman won’t date you because you took that photo as a joke, you’re dodging a bullet.
- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 4 weeks ago:
Nintendo doesn’t really do sales
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 4 weeks ago:
That’s nice, I guess they found other ways to fund their government.
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 4 weeks ago:
When you’re renting, you’re always also paying this tax indirectly. Its a tax of having a roof over your head, whether you own it or not*. So it has nothing to do with ownership.
I guess you can argue somewhere in the direction of “tax is theft”, but that’s a different discussion.
- kinda opposing my previous statement, I guess it would be more accurate to say that paying the tax directly to the government is kind of a proof of ownership.
- Comment on Every fucking video... 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps because you’re logged in on YouTube?
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, owners pay taxes to fund the government. But paying taxes does not mean you don’t own something, as if you were renting.

Well, we do have the words leasing and renting.
The difference between owning games on steam and actually owning a game? When steam shuts down, you suddenly don’t own any games anymore.
When you own a house, you can do whatever you want with it. If you choose to use it without utilities, you can for no extra cost. And payong taxes doesn’t really have anything to do with ownership.if anything taxes are proof of your ownership.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 1 month ago:
Who gives a flying fuck what others think? Fuck that egotistical bullshit.
Isn’t egoism kinda the opposite of caring about what others think?

- Comment on Gen Z is ‘task masking’ in the workplace. How harmful is it? 1 month ago:
50% seems like a low estimate.

I got this m3ssage yesterday and checked out the matrix server. It was a bunch of anime profiles spewing racist nonsense. Reminded me of 4chan with the vibes. Not for me.

- Comment on Is it weird to hate a language because it bring up bad memories/feelings? 3 months ago:
Trauma is not weird.
- Comment on Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"? 5 months ago:
Another comment explained it pretty nicely:
But you can’t have [a platform with absolute free speech] while allowing for hate speech either because hate speech silences the voices of its target.
It’s basically the tolerance paradox but with free speech.

For that matter why is it my business to pay for profit content creators?
If you prefer creators who only do YouTube as a hobby, that’s fair game, no questions asked. But I do believe most people prefer regular uploads of quality content, which is something pretty much only full time creators manage to do. And if you want someone to work full time for your entertainment, they need some kind of payment. Who do you think should pay them?
I do what I please and it is up to them to figure it out.
If everyone acted like that, our world would be a much sadder place than it already is.
The only creators calling third party clients theft are the ones making millions
So why not support the ones who don’t say that?
I’m not trying to say what you do is theft. In my opinion it’s much more nuanced, and also about how much you earn, etc. But in the end I dont think there’s any way around having to pay the people who make quality content. So if you have the means, please at least consider doing so.
