If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • LTT comes across as someone who simultaneously wants to be a boss and also do nut taps in the locker room. He himself admits he sucks at PR and then does PR solo style anyways or with Luke held hostage. He often takes things personally when it’s actually a really good opportunity to show growth and standards, but I swear he misses the mark every. Single. Time. This behavior also corroborates the feelings of a staff member who left because someone higher up was creepy to her and wasn’t ever confronted because that’s the environment Linus fostered. You can’t be a boss that’s always joking because sometimes it’s serious, and when it’s serious, it’s not always personal.

    MKHD Always seemed like a bit of an Apple shill, but I gotta say it just got worse and worse. It’s like he was shopping for himself and once he became a millionaire everything seemed like it was cheap if it was at all novel. He also handled that app launch insanely badly and seems like the type of dude to be impressed by anything a tech bro presents to him.

    Berm Peak completely similar vibes. He’s rich, so crazy expensive bikes and accessories are almost always a great deal because they’re in his budget and high quality.

    Ethan Klein I honestly don’t know why I ever liked him apart from the copyright lawsuit with Matt Hoss. I appreciated the goofs, but for some reason it took me way too long to see that some of those people in no way shape or form deserved that treatment. Patrice Wilson for example, not to mention later when he devoted his entire life to hate watching Hasan and Hasan-adjacents while being incredibly deceptive about his and his wifes views on Israel. I ditched him before all that, but man what a massive shitshow he turned his channels into.

    EEVBlog got high on his own supply. He’s always been a bit snobbish, especially about sub par equipment that he already made up his mind about before opening, but I saw him talking about running for office with some dogshit platitudes that mean nothing like, “Dave’ll take it apart and fix it all” and seemed very defensive when people were asking what his platform actually would be. God complex vibes from all that.

    Gus Johnson because he treated his ex like crap and ran from accountability, and is now sneaking back into YouTube through his and his brother’s account without ever really addressing his failures. He just wants everyone to move on and accept him again.

    Cody Ko handled the fallout of sexual assault allegations horribly and is best friends for life with a known rapist, putting that relationship above everything. Gross guy, but before all that came out he was just a funny immature frat guy with a lot of jokes and good reactions. Major failure to meet the moment.

    Scott Kilmer - just shitty political takes eventually wore me down.

    AVE - shitty political views and then talking about teaching his daughter racist nursery rhymes was the final straw for me.

    Following up on a report:

    Sources which are structured towards a political belief as a mantra, ergo, “In defense of marxism” are more akin to party announcements, which we do not allow, even from the Whitehouse website, and definitely not from the DNC, RNC, etc. For this reason the post will be removed.





  • Part of maturing, as someone who insists on solutions when confronted with complaints from others, is acknowledging that those complaints aren’t necessarily put out there to be solved. Sometimes they just want to let you know they’re unhappy to lower the expectations of them for a while or to vent. If all they want is to be left alone or vent, insisting on solutions is akin to criticism when they need it the least.







  • To the biggest degree it’s comfort elsewhere and numbers attracting numbers. To a smaller but still substantial degree it’s the same reason the top 3 phone brands have less customization and a more plug and play experience than rooted phones. It solves a huge amount of the problems with Reddit, but reddit is simpler to join, simpler to understand, feels more secure, and has so many communities and active users that even inactive communities can look active by how many people mistakenly post there.



  • Depends on the OS. They can be chopped down by removing windows aero / transparency features among some other memory hogs, plus if it has an nvme or sata SSD then virtual memory can do some fast enough heavy lifting. That being said, I think the last OS Microsoft made that could run functionally on 4gb without significant virtual memory useage is Windows 8 and I wouldn’t wish that experience on you, nor recommend it for security reasons. If you use Linux you probably won’t need to upgrade for a long while with that easy workload.

    My pi 5 acts like a normal decent computer on Linux builds but windows would crunch it.

    Edit just to say that the main task you need to worry about is likely decoding. If whatever APU or GPU you have doesn’t have a built in ASIC for modern hvec then I could see it lagging significantly regardless of OS and memory size. You also mentioned browsing, which means I wouldn’t recommend staying with the last MacOS you can get for security concerns. Linux seems like the obvious choice.
