There’s an additional hypothesis that a lot of the violence in the 60s and 70s was also driven by people who grew up in broken homes with unhappy marriages that couldn’t be ended

I appreciate that they at least save the really “safe” stuff for their other brand Box Lunch, but they need to let Hot Topic be edgier

I found the best experience with my GBA was simply to use it in a dark room with my MadKatz purple clip light

Honestly my interpretation is that many of the malls that were either built in places they shouldn’t have been or built too large are finally dying off but I’ve still been some absolutely popping malls as recently as last week

Basically any mall that continues to rely entirely on a big box store or 4 to sustain themselves is crumbling but those which have refocused on smaller stores are in much better shape

Hot Topic is losing its edge (seriously there was like one rack of fishnets and the rest was branded stuff including Bluey branded stuff) and Spencer’s has been reducing locations.

That was Logan Paul, and actually the Paul brothers’ antics actually greatly delayed Pewd’s immigration as the Japanese government actually stopped granting new visas to any social media personalitiws for some time after the Paul incidents.

If I remember correctly he wasn’t able to immigrate until mid-2020 thanks to the Paul Borthers’ lack of respect for anyone

I worked in customer service escalations for a large company. We had a couple of dedicated people who handled inquiries on complaints sent to the AG, skipping several tiers of support if someone from the AG’s office asked about it. Usually it was some bored office adminstrator who’d share the customer’s complaint and await a response from the company and make sure everything was above the board, and largely exist as a mediator between the customer and the company. Involving the AG is a very good step to take in a customer service failure on any kind of order/RMA problems, especially if you’re out money

That’s super cool. I’d love to know more about Nebula’s business practices, do you know where I could find that information? I’ve seen some interviews with their leadership that didn’t go into anywhere near the depth that I’d like and that’s about it

I’m worried about Nebula’s business model being profitable enough to be sustainable in the long term but given their business model includes making every creator on the platform a part-owner of the platform that does limit how bad things can get

Others have pointed out how people keep growing up in their 20s and 30s. But also as a media personality, you can’t ignore the possibility that he’s playing a character on camera. It could legitimately be he just kept acting like his younger self while recording because that pays the bills

He emigrated to Japan a few years ago

My wife was a PewDiePie fan from before the slur incident so I’ve loosely seen some of his content over the years. He’s apologized multiple times, and he’s shifted his style significantly multiple times since then.

Basically in the last few years he’s grown up a ton. He married his girlfriend of a decade or more after earlier refusing marriage, had a baby, emigrated to Japan and now posts tons of creative and day-in-the-life style vlogs

LBRY is cool but I’m honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It’s mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.

Peertube has actual large creators who aren’t weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there’s kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users

I haven’t lived at the same address but I now live in a small enough town I’ve seen deer, turkeys and bald eagles from my yard, but I grew up in the suburbs where a raccoon was the wildest thing I ever saw

complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).

See also: folks who insist on collecting all grass clipping when they mow. It’s free fertilizer that helps save some water. Some folks care too much about a golf course lawn that they fail to realize the obvious benefits to slight adjustments to their practices

Bald eagles have made a resounding comeback after nearly being hunted to extinction around the '30s and '40s. If you live anywhere near the Mississippi you’ll probably see tons of them.

I once nearly hit one with my car. Coming around a blind corner there was a giant ass bald eagle in the middle of my lane. Seriously it took up the entire driving lane and was about as a big as a small car with it’s wings partially out while it chowed on some prey

It would be hilarious if Trump’s, Israel’s and Iran’s actions end up triggering significant climate action out of the sheer cost of continuing to burn oil. The last fuel crisis in the 70s actually caused significant amounts of research into alternatives and some interesting electric vehicles were actually released during that time

You laugh but several members of Congress bought stocks in defense contractors shortly before this military operation

Meh, skill issue
