Man… My parents used to kick us outta the house in the morning. They would tell us we could come back inside for lunch around noon but then we had to leave again. We would bike around and get into all kind of shenanigans. Call them from a payphone and instead of saying our name for the call we would just tell them where we were super fast and then they would hear that and decline the call lmao.

As long as we came home before the sun went down or we called them from a friend’s house to get approval for a sleep over they didn’t really care what we did all day. Good times.

I’ve been working with computers and building them my whole life. I am pretty good with windows. I regularly tell potential employers in interviews that I rate my skills with windows computers at about a 6/10. I can probably fix anything you broke, but I am terrified of editing hex code and other things that the IT wizards do with ease.

I can take apart most electronics and put them back together without breaking them which is not a skill that most people possess apparently. Back when I worked at geeksquad I became known as the “laptop keyboard repair guy” in the area. Other stores would literally send people to see me because apparently nobody else can take apart an hp laptop and remember where all of the 47 screws went or do it without ripping a ribbon cable. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Zero. Even if I vehemently disagree with someone I am still willing to see what they said.

I think echo chambers and “bubbles” are incredibly dangerous.

You know I’m starting to suspect that maybe corporations don’t have our best interests in mind…

Oh absolutely. He can pull himself up by his velcro straps and make his business work without government subsidies for once in his life.

That being said I don’t have any faith in our government to actually improve anything for general americans when it comes to internet access. Even if the federal government somehow did everything right the states would find a way to regulate and fuck it up.

Remember when our government spent billions of our taxes on getting high speed internet out to as many Americans as possible? Remember how literally nothing happened and they just shrugged when we asked where the money went?

This was during the Obama years too if memory serves correctly.

It doesn’t matter what they decide to do. The money will magically vanish and we will all get left holding the bag once more.

The fashion industry and the automotive industry are far and away the largest contributors to global microplastics. I’m not even sure if 3d printing people crack the top 100.

The majority of the 3d printed slop people see around is printed in PLA because it’s the cheapest and easiest to print typically. PLA will completely degrade in a few months in the correct conditions. At worst it will still break down after a few hundred years.

The more expensive and chemically complex filaments are a different story. The good news is that most people only print “useful” things with those more expensive materials. I have never seen anyone printing a Pikachu toothpaste poop dispenser out of carbon fiber reinforced nylon filament.

Of all the things to be worried about in terms of micro plastics 3d printing really shouldn’t bother you. There are many MANY much larger fish to fry in that department first.

Both is good is more in reference to picking both as the problem is good. Not that either choice is any good lol.

… Are you seriously implying that SAYING SOMETHING HATEFUL is on the same level as physically violating someone???

I’ve been physically assaulted. I would choose hateful words every single fucking day.

Jesus Christ it’s like trying to explain true empathy to a narcissist. I give up. You’re not emotionally intelligent enough for me to bother attempting to explain any further. Have a good night.

Yeah it IS you people that need help. Because I’m not defending a Nazi. I am defending a person that made edgy Nazi jokes in their youth because I have enough brain power and human experience to know that not every single edgy teenager and young adult goes on to actually support extremist crap. It’s almost like humans spend their youth learning what’s ok in society. What’s not ok. Where they land on issues. Where other people land on issues.

What’s more important to me and most other humans is what kind of person someone is today. What kind of person they have been like in the last few years of their lives.

Every single human makes mistakes. How they learn from those mistakes is generally more important than the mistakes themselves (obviously not always the case).

Grow up.

I’m not gonna bother arguing with you. We clearly have a fundamental difference of opinion when it comes to our ability to forgive past transgressions of others when we see personal growth and change from them.

Have a good day.

I’m older than PewDiePie. I have two little brothers that grew up watching him religiously so I ended up seeing a lot of his content and being looped in on his controversies.

What mentally insane people believe is completely irrelevant. Plenty of insane people have taken words of peace and love and somehow found ways to twist them into calls of violence.

Using mentally deranged peoples actions to blame a public figure is actually insane. Not once did PewDiePie ever make any calls to action and in fact he publicly denounced those people and what they did.

YOU need help.

He is not a Nazi apologist at all lmao.

He paid some Indian guys in fiver to hold up a sign that said something like “death to Jews” or something like that. He didn’t think they would actually do it and he of course he laughed when they sent back the video of them dancing and holding up the sign.

When he got backlash for the “joke” by mainstream media he felt they were purposely twisting things around in a certain way to make him look worse and he was going to prove it. He then wore a British WW2 military officers uniform for a video where he claimed they would purposely cut the video to misrepresent things and that’s exactly what happened. They claimed he doubled down and wore a Nazi uniform because he was a Nazi.

Not long after that whole debacle he then had the infamous “bridge incident” where he called some random gamer the n word while he was live on twitch playing PUBG. He made an apology video after that where he said: “It was something I said in the heat of the moment. I said the worst word I could possibly think of, and it just sort of slipped out. I’m not going to make any excuses as to why it did, because there are no excuses for it.”

Absolutely worth being criticized for the things he did in his past, but I don’t think it’s fair to cancel the guy forever because of those things. Especially when it appears that he has grown up quite significantly since those days.

You seem to be holding onto a lot of hate for something a very different guy did 10+ years ago. He’s gotten married, had a kid and moved his family to Japan since his young edgy days.

He absolutely deserved criticism for the stupid shit he was doing when his channel was exploding, but I think holding onto that level of vitriol for this long isn’t healthy.

People are allowed to grow and change. Im sure you said or did some incredibly stupid shit in your teenage and young adult years. I know I fucking did. If we never allow people to grow and change for the better then we are permanently locking each person to their lowest point and holding them there forever. I think that is an incredible robotic and inhuman way to approach the human condition.

Just saw your comment after I left time with the same thing haha

YOUR NEW MORNING ALARM

Marc Rebillet

Thank me later.

I thought about this a lot after the last time I saw this post. I am almost positive it was a The Prodigy mix that I made for myself. My little sister got a car with a CD drive in it as her first car and she asked for my old CDs and that’s the latest one I can recall making.

Crazy to think that 10+ years after I made that CD now my little sister is listening to it haha. And I was already listening to many cd mixes my mom and father had given to me over the years. That CD case probably has illegally downloaded music burned to CDs from over 25 years ago in it. Not to mention several actual CDs that are probably almost 50 years old at this point. My father loved the classics and after he ripped his entire library to cram into his digital magic box he let a lot of the physical CDs go to his son’s. at least 1 or two ended up on that cd case of mine.

I would continue on without a care in the world because superstitious people are a waste of my time. It’s just confirmation biases the game.
