Linus’ employees were the ones trying to use the GN name to up their own reputation, GN called them on that and it ripped the company apart. They had to put in the new CEO, they last floatplane subs. In that whole back and forth, GN made like 2 vids and Linus was permanently affected.

During the honey thing, like dozens of creators called out Linus for not blowing the whistle publically on honey when he knew exactly that they were doing months before the news broke. LINUS hyper focused on GN talking about it because GN had already hurt them so badly.

It’s a feedback loop where Linus knows which knife cuts him the deepest, so he’s focused on blunting that edge. It’s transparent at best.

I genuinely can’t imagine feeling that way. GN produces a crazy amount of hardware related content. They delivered a near fatal blow to Linus’ ego because of how silly the comparison of the Linus slophouse compared to GN was when it happened. But like the number of times GN has covered Linus compared to the damage they did is incredible. Count the coverage on one hand for GN vs the evisceration LTT experienced.

You know GN doesn’t give a shit when they didn’t even cover the jet, or several of the highest profile on camera employees leaving. Which is free money. I think I see people who see GN as solely anti-Linus as approaching from poor faith. Which maybe some other people do as well.

Natural immunity in response to ebola would not be a choice i would predict people making in this country, but they’re doing it with measeles, so fuck me I guess.

This is a crossing the Rubicon moment for Trump. The entire maga apparatus understands that at least the pretense of consequences await them if another group takes over, that includes people who have been fired or left. It happened to them the last time. They know this time the other side is getting voted in on consequences, and they know the other side knows they have a year or two post election to do it, or else they already risk getting wiped out in the midterms just like the situation that republicans find themselves in now.

It’s life or death right now for a lot of members of this admin, and they are gonna act like that. Good luck us.

That’s the real problem, I like not having to worry about what I’m eating or drinking more than I’m discomforted by the results, I’m sure that balance will change at some point.

I would get on a regular antacid and see if that helps. As I age my acid reflux has been morphing into gerd and the generalized chest pain is random and terrifying but solvable with some tums.

Good.
