Well kudos to that engineer for absolutely nailing the assignment.

They are pretty similar in a lot of ways. Like how Matt Walsh walks around with a gallon of meth on most days, and he probably has kids tied to his radiator in his basement so he can grape them. Just uncanny really.

What kind of tech do you work in specifically? You might be able to pivot to a different role instead of completely changing careers. I only say this cause I did it a few years ago to gtfo of security. Turns out that made a world of difference for my stress levels. Now feel like I’m doing something instead of asking people constantly to do basic security configs and to patch their shit that hasn’t been patched for 5 years.

Is faggart like a new slur? Or do you just have questionable rhyming skills?

The first two seem fine, but ChatGPT is 4 syllables, and “ChatGPT just stares back” is 7 syllables. So chatgpt can’t write a haiku very well apparently.

Asmongold is a megaphone for shitty opinions. Like I posted elsewhere he’ll change his opinion if he gets called out, but the damage was done when he put it on the megaphone in the first place. His take on the “never play defense” is to not have any actual opinions when confronted then just go right back to saying other right wing bullshit.

Asmongold does that. Like the dude doesn’t have any real opinions other than what gets views. If he sees the winds changing he’ll pull a 180 in order to take the heat off himself. He also has hoards of followers and youtube minions to make him seem far more centerist than he is. He’s like the personification of the alt-right playbook for dummies.

I mean watch/listen to The Alt-Right Playbook series and tell me this is not what he does on a daily basis: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJA_jUddXvY7v0VkYRbANnTnzkA_HMFtQ

PirateSoftware is what dumb people thinks a smart person acts like. His audience can’t even pay attention unless he draws boxes in paint. I do understand how he can seem initially likeable, but if you watch him for more than a couple of hours you’ll see his knowledge is shallower than a spilled glass of water.

Hold on there buddy! There’s no reason to be derogatory towards hobos like that. I don’t think I’ve ever been quite so offended on the internet as to have someone associate my good (user)name with the likes of Asmongold. If you don’t bring that down a notch I’m gonna send the ghost of Woody Guthrie to haunt you until your dying days.

Yep they actively campaigned against the petition and fundamentally misrepresented it.

10 months ago PirateSoftware started a campaign against it starting here-ish: https://youtu.be/ioqSvLqB46Y

Also 10 months Asmongold did a react video that supported PirateSoftware: https://youtu.be/AhVsyhjcndw

PirateSoftware refused to acknowledge that he got several things wrong, and even refused to acknowledge it when confronted. He actively bans people with dissenting opinions in his stream so it wasn’t surprising that he refused to acknowledge that he was wrong. About a week ago Charlie (aka Penguinz0) confronted him about it and he still refused respond to basic factual inaccuracies: https://youtu.be/6sJpTCitKqw

Ross did a video talking about the whole thing last week as well: https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo

There’s a lot more to it, but that’s the broad strokes. I hope PirateSoftware’s stream keeps declining until he is relegated to complete obscurity. Also, PirateSoftware can eat my entire ass.

Both are past 100k now! I want to issue a special “fuck you” to all the idiot streamers that tried to kill SKG. And of course a special “go fuck yourself” to PirateSoftware and Asmongold for being fuckwit right wing tools for corporations. You have a special place in my heart as illiterate lapdogs to shitty corporations and right wing shills.

At least you chose a fantastic game to go out on. RDR2 is like one of the most amazing games ever produced! I still go back to it when I run out of stuff to play despite beating the ever living hell out of it.

Felt the same way about GTA. I don’t think the story is supposed to be serious though, but it certainly is disjointed and not very compelling.

Have you ever play the Mafia games? Those games felt like a much better story with the right mix of city destroying chaos. Not quite as open as GTA, but I don’t really think that’s a bad thing. I really enjoyed 3 despite the missions being fairly repetitive. There’s just something about running around killing the Klan that just doesn’t get old to me.

Exactly what popped into my head too. They also had questions that were ambiguous. “What’s the big staircase in Rome?” doesn’t really have a single correct answer much like many of the literacy tests in the Jim Crow south.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say if a random immigration official knows about your anonymous lemmy account you were already mega-fucked on the immigration front. They’ve been watching you and probably have a 3 inch thick file on you before you walked in the door.

I was the opposite. I could absolutely destroy the ball at bat, but I would literally sit in left field and pick grass.

Have you ever shopped at a Trader Joes? Those paper bags are by far the best paper bags that I’ve ever used, and can carry about as much as my reusable ones.

It also isn’t true. LBJs approval rating absolutely tanked because of the Vietnam war.

Johnson’s approval ratings had dropped from 70 percent in mid-1965 to below 40 percent by 1967

I’ve never used one of these services. Are they like a credit card in that they have interest/fees only if you don’t pay off your balance? Or are there upfront fees to using the service?
