  • I think that was every normal person's experience with minions. They were funny as side characters in the film, but then the sequels and spinoffs leaned too heavily into them and the memes started and everyone with 2 braincells to rub together said "fuck this" and ignored the minion scurge to fester

  • 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

  • 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

  • The farmers I know go through a handful of local butcher shops to handle everything from that point forwards. The butcher gets high quality meat to sell and the farmer doesn't have to deal with the parts of the process that aren't part of their skillset or that they otherwise don't want to handle. So while they aren't part of the killing and butchering process, they are confident in their trust of the individuals and small businesses they rely on for it

    From what I've seen and learned, small businesses and small farms have the capability to handle the process of breeding and nurturing their stock for processing into the cuts of meat we buy at the store in a humane manner, but very large farms and very large meat processing operations every individual is simply too disconnected from the full process to ensure every step is as humane as it should be.

    Ultimately this is why we need to greatly expand the USDA to ensure every step of the process of our food being brought to our plates is as humane and safe as possible. The USDA already has full time inspectors who work at meat processing plants full time to ensure everything is safe and by the book, with the power to pause operations at any moment if they see a problem, but this needs to be expanded. We need USDA and FDA inspections to be frequent and thorough at every food processing facility in the country. Farms that product stock for these facilities need to be regularly audited. The erosion of the FDA and USDA is part of why there's been so many salmonella outbreaks and food recalls in recent years

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    What is the big deal about Kick.com ?

    Jump

  • Well, it's quite simple really:

    1. Kick has very little moderation. Pirate streams and gambling streams abound on Kick
    2. The worst people who got banned from YouTube and Twitch continue to stream on Kick and who wants to be associated with that?
    3. Kick is owned by a gambling company. Seriously think about it for more than 10 seconds, the service is entirely built on AWS which costs so much even Twitch which is literally owned by Amazon can't turn a profit. Venture capital ain't handing out free money to super unprofitable companies right now so they clearly are making money somewhere, and that somewhere is gambling

  • I was playing The Witcher 3 recently and I'd amassed way too many random animal pelts so I just went to any merchant who would buy them and sold about 200 various deer and goat pelts until the merchants had no money left. I have no clue what the merchants are going to do with all of those pelts but that's certainly not my loot goblin self's problem anymore!

  • Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO

    Jump

  • Realistically Tailscale seems to currently be running on a model of get all of the self hosters to love running it at home so then they advocate to run it at work where all of the pricey enterprises licenses make the real money.

    I've actually seen some real world usecases where if I had more political push, I would've put Tailscale onto the running as a potential solution

    Hopefully they have the right people in place to push back at the VC firms about maintaining their current strategy rather than scaring away all of their best advocates before they can truly get off the ground. Having worked at a company owned by a hedgefund, part of the trick is having the right people in place in the company who can block the worst decisions by the capital-hungry owners

  • Have your parents ever said something so unhinged that you’re just left standing there like🧍‍♂️?

    Jump

  • A few days ago my mom made a "joke" that clearly having good kids skipped a generation right after commenting about how well behaved my kids were.

    With my own kids now I've been realizing how many of the "behaviors" my parents would complain about and expect me to improve upon were just normal kid stuff

  • Except most people just click a link on their desktop that goes to a thing they have a completely different name for anyways. If you don't tell them anything (or just say it's a new version of Windows) they likely won't notice the actual differences, just complain about missing a specific icon for something without being able to correctly name what it is

  • Probably is still true, but I've not been paying close attention to the AI market in the last couple of years. But the point I was trying to make was that it's an apples to oranges comparison
