Really curious what put it over the edge. It wasn't the arrest. Was it the acquittal? Was it Mewgenics? Hard to tell.

Chris Chan finally got a Wikipedia article. I was kind of hoping they would continue to hold the line on that as it became increasingly ridiculous to do so.

The Mr. Beast toys are, in terms fo their designs, much closer to the Walmart brand (I think it's called Action Force?) than anything else on the shelf that has a name brand. They have these elaborate unboxing experiences, of course, but wouldn't you like a cooler guy at the end?

Like all of the ones that aren't toys of him are like "tiger man" or "lion man." Like the Roblox game tie-in toys (which are a significant chunk of the toy shelf these days) are all characters from those games and even the basic ones tend to be more interesting than the Mr. Beast ones.

I am not a fan of any Mr. Beast products except the chocolate which K genuinely enjoy. I find myself consistently frustrated by how boring his toys are as a manchild who loves collecting little guys. They either extremely generic or just a him. Very disappointing.

Watched the Folding Ideas Mr. Beast video and found the chocolate bar bit very revealing. Honestly, I preferred the original ones but I did get tired of hinting for non-smashed ones.

Looked up "dopamine detox" on YouTube because I got recommended a video about it and was curious. Noticing a pretty big divide between the videos that say it works and the ones uploaded by accounts run by psychiatrists.

Got this goofy 3 faced Chinese watch a while back and wore it today. For some reason, the battery in the face that actually tells the time was dead and only that battery was dead.

Disrespectful that Ben Collins is still using the "Tim Onion" handle now that Tim Apple is dead.

My manager recommended it to me a few years ago. I liked it, actually implemented some of the stuff for a bit. I've forgotten nearly all of it since lol

I read Atomic Habits, it's not a hard read. I can chew my food, I don't need somebody to chew it for me.

Downloaded some sort of self-improvement app a while back and booted it up finally and it's like subscription book summaries. Even if it does make me smarter, paying to not read books will make me feel dumb enough to outweigh it I think.

We need to stop accepting views expressed on Twitter as real opinions. The sooner everyone assumes that the median post on that website is done in bad faith and principally designed to chase clout, the sooner we stop letting these fake controversies take up all the oxygen in the room.

We've basically turned generations into a new form of astrology. The way people two years older than me emphatically tell me they aren't millennials like being born in 80 and makes you fundamentally different than someone born in 82. Get real!

Too be clear, I haven't read. Musk committed the cardinal sin of microblogging (character limit too big) and I'm not going to indulge it, even in screenshot form.

There's a screenahot of a lady talking about Pragmata that I've seen floating around that people are like "oh wow that's insane" about, and here's the thing: it's a multi paragraph X post from a paying X user. Of course it is insane.

I don't understand why the game designs in Beast Games keep being so bad. Every game dev is getting laid off every day and you're *the* rich YouTuber. Just hire someone.

Actually the media I like is the problem with society. It's my fault. And I vote.

I do believe that Halo 5 is actually a DLC pack for the real, scrapped Halo 5 that was expanded into a full game out of desperation, but I don't think that counts as a conspiracy.

I don't think I have a conspiracy that I 100% believe. I came up with the idea that Disney planted the Joker/incel connection, but I don't *really* believe it. Easier to believe a lot of critics were just dumb.

I get that you don't want your stuff age restricted because it messes with the algorithm, but most of this stuff should probably have an age rating on it anyway. Saying "r-" doesn't make it not about rape! And there's a whole separate YouTube for kids!

It's in tons of videos, especially if you ever go near true crime stuff, but it particularly sucked in this one because it was so good. I don't understand why they have to censor things like this so heavily. True crime shows are like TV-14 usually.

Was watching the very good Sarah Z video last night and it really frustrated me that she had to censor words like "rape" and "suicide." I really wish adult creators could talk like adults in the videos they make for other adults.

bluesky poster, suddenly: "everyone likes baby stuff except me. i do what's Required"

Reinstalled my podcatcher after not using it for a couple of years. Can't believe all of these people are still making these shows after I quit listening.

She didn't make any death threats that I know of, it just reminded me of other times big accounts got banned (for making death threats)

I saw Molly Shah either deactivated or got banned, which made me think to post it, but honestly I've been sitting on the thought for a while lol

come on man.
