Nah, if anything, your "absolutely no compromises" approach is the one smearing black paint all over everything. That level of inflexibility and brittleness will only get in the way of actually accomplishing things.

K good luck making any progress or solving any problems whatsoever then*. One day you might realize that the real world is shitty and messy and requires compromise.

Nah, I'm just saying you're being too picky. Right now, I don't really think there's anything wrong with rallying around a message of "Not Trump, Not Fascism". You know, considering those are the things that are currently dismantling our democracy.

Calling people turncoats when they should be considered allies does nothing to fight the real, current threat in office. All this infighting just sets us back and puts us further down the road to fascism. This quest for the perfect liberal party is a waste of effort because it's so pie-in-the-sky and borderline impossible to actually achieve in any meaningful length of time.

It sucks, but that's reality. Our democracy is fucked, and trying to find even more idealist liberals to replace the likes of Bernie and AOC isn't gonna fix it.

You know what, I'd take "not good enough" over "actively dismantling our democracy", but fuck me I guess

Delaying the inevitable seems like a much better option than, you know, the inevitable

You'd save a lot of pointless back and forth in threads like this if you just say what you mean, instead of making people drag it out of you bit by bit.

Brother what else is Colombia supposed to do to prevent an ethnic cleanse in an unfriendly state, other than sending planes to rescue their people from that state? Do you want them to declare war on the United States or what?

If you have constructive feedback, it seems like the photographer is open to it. It's not dunking on anyone to say "hey great work and cool idea, just so you know the image looks a little "off" on my screen, possibly due to my accessibility settings, which are blah blah blah... hope this helps, thanks for the great work!"

I remember when you pretty much only used Amazon to buy books

Plenty of UI applications* are this bad

Right? Like my dude, bare minimum at least write down those steps in a text document so you can reference it the next time you have to add something. Bonus points for putting it on some shared internal wiki or whatever Microsoft uses.

Steve poorly or never communicated what he thought were satisfactory resolutions to past comments or incidents and is upset that those resolutions didn't happen.

Steve very clearly says he would be happy with being attributed in a pinned comment on the video in question. Linus agreed to do that, then... didn't do that. Steve is justified in being upset with the lack of action here, he isn't Linus's dad, he shouldn't have to ask more than once for such a simple request.

and is only escalating the situation further by softly threatening legal action

If someone with as much money as LMG threatens legal action against you, it's prudent to lawyer up and prepare a case/countersuit.

while also hinting that they have way more evidence they are just conveniently leaving out

Because when you're preparing a legal case, it's generally a good idea to not give your opponents all the materials you're building your case with.

despite their current evidence being mostly empty (specifically receipts 1 and 2)

How are those examples empty? They may not be very extreme examples, but they clearly illustrate the type of behavior GN is claiming LMG engages in.

None of this spat should have been public

I can agree with you there.

If I had to declare a winner so far, Steve is looking worse for wear

Lol you lost me again

Everyone looks worse and this should have been handled privately. Maybe LMG should appoint someone other than Linus to handle fellow media contacts, because it doesn't seem like he's the best for that job.

Motherfucker pulled me right back in lmao

That song is about a gambler's desire for selfish self-preservation, not "having a backbone"

even the plagiarism email shows that GN appeared to be happy with the response, but now they're acting like they never were.

LTT never made any corrections or proper attributions, like they said in the email (which is what GN was happy about - that LTT agreed they were due credit and said they'd give it to them). LTT never followed through so it's pretty justifiable that GN's initial feelings would sour.

Same. I feel like once Luke started taking more of a back seat content-wise and letting Linus get in front of the camera by himself more is when things started going downhill

I'm pretty sure I went to a UCC church as a kid and had a great time doing arts and crafts at "Sunday school" lol. I don't remember learning a lick about religion, but I do remember the bomb-ass potlucks, and how our pastor was one of the coolest, kindest people I've ever met.

Looks like a piece of thinly sliced radish to me

Huh? This analogy is wild. Deli slicers are a specialist, commercial-level piece of equipment. It's basically the antithesis of everything a console strives for, other than the fact that it's a unitasker.

It's alcoholic custard

Isn't that basically what eggnog is?

Did you respond to the wrong comment
