  • While I mostly agree with you, I do think there are problematic things in this article that make Linus come off as disingenuous at best, especially seeing that he played the “I have 0 idea what I did wrong, I want to sue you but i wont” card.

    As for the reciepts for lack of citations, while I think it’s obvious that Steve is asking for citations and he shouldn’t have to ask, it’s always best to make your request explicit. It breeds animosity to have expectations and not state or ask them clearly. I could absolutely see someone being naive in these exchanges and thinking that Steve was reaching out not to get a citation but to fix future mistakes.

    The worst thing about this bullshit though is the lmg clips video title. It’s a serious allegation that Linus allegedly wants to resolve, but they cover it in cringe memery. And I say this as someone who watches LTT and not GN.

    I think if Linus had just called out Steve’s beef and publicly requested some forum to speak privately or publicly and sort out differences, that’d be one thing. But with the lmg clip title and the “want to sue, but I won’t” bs, it all just seems kinda gross. I know that Linus may not be personally responsible for that, but the company uses his name, and he started it.




  • Likewise, I think 2 years of public service or military should be compulsory. The truth is we do need a defense force given the world, but it’d also be nice to have americorps or something expanded to fit the service option. Make military service more enticing than the other, I don’t care, but provide room and board, and a spending allowance at the very least for both.







  • I agree with a lot of what you’ve said in the nested chain, but Trump didn’t have power over the fed, and macroeconomics are typically not something a president has sway over. So if you’re mearly saying the economy was better under Trump, and Biden had shit luck inheriting something that was bound to turn ugly as the economy of Covid caught up to us, sure, ok, but the way you worded it is ambiguous at best.

    It’s a shame so many people are unable to see that the world is hurting economically from covid still. That food prices and inflation are a global issue. That it’s silly to pin that blame on a single individual. That so far America seems to be weathering the storm better than other prolific countries. That other than the black mark of Isreal and Palestine that overshadows his entire presidency, he’s done a lot of good domestically.

    Oh well. :/
