    "Taking over another sovereign nation was just a ‘special military operation’! It wasn’t a ‘war’ until they started resisting and defending their homes and got assistance from the West! I mean, we all see how that works, right?! They should’ve just laid down and taken the beating, it would’ve avoided this whole thing!

    …also it would be great if people would stop making fun of our military, it’s making recruitment hard. There’s only so many people we can imprison and conscript through Wagner."

    Their Turkey Ranch and Bacon sandwich with a bit of Arby’s sauce is S-tier fast food. And their curly fries, while not the best fries around, definitely beat McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, etc. Plus their horsey sauce is a nice take on Horseradish if you’re not in the mood for a lot of spiciness. So yeah, Arby’s is pretty solid.

    The issue with the suicide wasn’t at all Linus’s fault and is just being thrown around sensationally to make him look as bad as possible.

    Linus’s old workplace, NCIX (kind of like Canadian Circuit City) went out of business, and he went to the out of business auction to try and get the YouTube silver play button from the NCIX youtube channel that he had started. A young dude that has started his own youtube channel that got screwed out of his own silver play button won the auction, and he just wanted to have one since the marketing network his channel was a part of screwed up and he didn’t get one from YouTube despite earning it. Linus approached him and asked to buy it back from him, and the guy agreed. But after Linus saw his YouTube channel and understood his situation, he decided to let the guy keep it since he was being cool about Linus paying him for it at cost of the winning bid, and not trying to extort anything from Linus.

    But his fans got upset anyway since they’re bored teenagers, and started harassing the guy constantly to give the play button to Linus. When he found out, he told the community to stop-

    But of course they didn’t, and eventually the guy stopped making videos. He was already depressed and bullied at school and his personal life, and according to the reddit post by his father, he took his own life a couple years later, and his mother ended up committing suicide as well because of it.

    I’m pretty angry about the whole situation and the allegations of harassment, but trying to pin a double suicide on a person that didn’t cause it for article clicks and up votes is just sickening and unethical, IMO. Linus already has plenty to answer to, but piggybacking off of the recent controversy to try and pin an incredibly sad and serious situation on him that he didn’t cause is a disgusting move by shitty media outlets.

    It’s referring to cable packages. Oh you want to be able to watch FX shows? Then get the blue-tier package to add 30 random channels, 28 of which you don’t want for another $30 on top of the base price! Oh you want AMC too? Then get the green tier for another $45 as well that also has 35 channels you don’t want. Sorry, we don’t have a package with both FX and AMC, you’ll need to get the blue AND green packages on top of the $60 base subscription. Sorry, you can’t just choose what channels you want.

    Circa 2011 it’d just be like Netflix and/or Hulu were all you need to get most of the content since they had deals with the different studios. Now they’re all segmenting off onto their own.
