going to the zoo and watching the strong, muscular apes, who would be tearing me limb from limb were it not for the bars between us, freak the fuck out as i show them google images results for "bloodrayne hd remaster" and "blade 2000 rave scene cosplay" on my phone
the thing about having a existential epithany like linus is that it mostly doesn't really matter what you're doing since it's all meaningless from a higher perspective. shilling high tech gadgets for a living isn't ideal but i don't think it hurts anything either and educating viewers on what to actually look for in products in terms of specs and features is good for the industry in the long run if it means people are less likely to buy obviously shit products just because of the brand name because they know what the words mean on the spec sheet. as far as tech channels go, LTT is pretty middle of the road with dishonest shills like unbox therapy on one end and stand up guys like gamersnexus on the other.
those were the dark days when i had to replace my piece of shit cathode lights every couple months because they would burn out, and everything was fucking molex. cathode.jpg
@crunklord420@colonelj@FailurePersonified tbh that rgb displayport cable isn't really that offensive at a product considering they're selling 8m ones at $75 when the cheapest fiber optic displayports on amazon here are $59. it's a stupid luxury item but it's not really that marked up.
excessive consoomerism is a minor sin to me. people who buy shit they can't afford have bigger psychological problems than just being susceptible to advertising.
>Couvade is a term which was coined by anthropologist E. B. Tylor in 1865 to refer to certain rituals in several cultures that fathers adopt during pregnancy.
>An example of couvade is that the Cantabri people had a custom in which the father, during or immediately after the birth of a child, took to bed, complained of having labour pains, and was accorded the treatment usually shown to women during pregnancy or after childbirth. Similarly, in Papua New Guinea, fathers built a hut outside the village and mimicked the pains of labour until the baby is born. Similar rituals occur in other cultural groups in Thailand, Russia, China, India and many indigenous groups in the Americas.
hello @shpuld do not be alarmed by the giant metal contraption around your head. you have lived a sinful life of substance abuse so i am going to make you appreciate your time on earth by making you play a little game. the contraption will open and split your head apart unless you drink one cofe an hour. if you can survive for six hours, the trap will unlock and you will be free to leave. jigsaw.jpg
@lain the kaiju will be programmed to only kill 1/10th the amount of people who would die from all the wars that it would prevent. there will be mecha battles but they will be staged like pro wrestling to give people excitement and hope for humanity.
@lain scheduled apocalyptic kaiju threat project for human improvement 2020
finally we can have happenings without the unpredictability or political ramifications. like a forestry controlled burn for the masses. world peace (between humans) against a common enemy it cant go wrong.
if you donate $20 you get to vote on the cool name we will give the next kaiju alien_baltan_1979_01.jpg
@lain crowdfund research to make kaiju attacks real to cull the surplus of males. please donate $500,000,000,000 stretch goal: kaiju incident rate increased from once every 8 years to once every 4 years.
