What's a phone?

i like that he's still rationalizing that he can't be at his desktop because of his foot

Rob sent people christmas cards

Damn

Should have posted my address

Where did he even get mailing addresses?

he asked them

pika did you get their addresses

no

As if there's zero way to elevate a foot while seated.

I honestly didn't know you could do that, sorry.

to be fair that's mostly on discord itself for having it enabled by default

it's the dumbest thing

it's better than some servers where the culture is to always @ whoever you are responding to no matter what

So your plan is to get a useless degree in something that a degree guarantees absolutely zero security outside of teaching exactly what you were taught to the exact same demographic as those who are majoring in that degree, with your backup being a career in something that has absolutely zero security and is almost never lucrative, and you actually RECOGNIZE it, but still bitch about worrying about it, rather than bitch because you're disillusioned and think you have a chance to make it and just aren't making it.

I didn't know you could do that

TIL

I always do that

I don’t wanna piss people off

what?

followup to that danny post

Like, I'm overweight, I 100% acknowledge it, but I don't fucking bitch about it, or bitch about anything that would be helped by losing weight.

Accept it and move along or fucking change it.

1) No healthcare is "free." You're either paying for it, paying for your insurance, or taxes are paying for your insurance. 2) Health insurance doesn't cover dental in the US, along with a huge amount of other countries. That's a separate insurance plan. 3) The reason dental is not covered so many places and is separate insurance is because the rate of dental trips for serious issues versus things like routine cleanings or an occasional filling are so low that it'd be a gigantic money sink for insurance companies/tax payers to include dental in health insurance. It's so far from essential the majority of the time, most dental things are easily preventable by just brushing your teeth regularly, so having people have regular trips to the dentist covered by any health insurance will drive the price of any insurance/taxes up so much to compensate.

I know we've probably had this debate a million times, but I don't know why we're so adverse to paying for medical services we'd rather pay for insurance (either through an employer plan or via taxes) than just pay what the service is worth, when we need it

I'm not debating it, I'm stating why insurance companies don't cover it.

My opinion on whether or not they should is irrelevant.

Megan's not unique was more my point. "I don't want to see a dentist because it'll be expensive" coupled with "I'll see a doctor anytime I need to"

just because they don't think about that they're paying for the doctor in a roundabout and inefficient way

Sorry, it was my brain going full pragmatism. It was mostly in response to the "it sucks to drain my bank account just to fix my teeth" comment.

If you're paying higher insurance rates or higher taxes to cover it, your account would still be just as drained, just you would have less disposable income. Basically, don't waste your money and you won't be "draining" your bank account.

Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure and all that jazz.

Rob question: So Rob privated all his videos for "mental health" reasons, but that's only on his BruceWillakers channel; he's done nothing with PkmnRob, TwoPlayer, Rurikar. Shouldn't he have made all of those private as well?

Or if the argument is that he doesn't even look at those channels so he wouldn't see any downvotes/comments he wouldn't like, then why doesn't he just... not look at his BruceWillakers channel the same way? Upload a video and just don't look at it again.

we've argued over and over again that if he really wanted to get rid of the things that make him sad, the best thing he could do is just delete all his shit and start over on a new channel, with a new community

Isn't that what the TILII TV channel was supposed to be for?

the truth is, he doesn't do these things because he doesn't actually believe any of the shit he says, he's just saying them to get pity points because that's what's popular nowadays

people will just give you money if you pretend to be depressed

yep, Fire's spot on

I think there may have also been that idea in his head, to do the YouTube paywall idea he's talked about

but he seems to have just given up on YT altogether at this point

your website really put a spanner in his works

that's so funny to think about

I just find it so stupid that he bitches about people being "entitled" to the videos, that he put them up, and he should be able to take them down and they should completely disappear from everywhere. Like, do you not know what VCRs were made for? Have you never heard of tape trading?

again, he doesn't believe that

he just hopes the people around him are docile enough to go along with it

And if he released any of the shit he did BEFORE it was easy to share shit like this on the internet, and had to release it physically, it's not like he'd be able to recall the physical products when he started alienating his audiences and then making dogshit and got butthurt because he doesn't get massive support for the dogshit he's making for like 100 people instead of thousands.

HiveQueen has fallen so far

her VTuber now "sleeps" on stream while YouTube videos play

I don't think I've ever seen this level of ethoting

also, there are 267 viewers but no messages in chat at all?

god, that really pisses me off

that's up there in scummy ways to be successful along with reggie's scalping and crypto mining

no, I'm actually wondering now how much of this is a scam?

this looks 100% botted

her socialblade looked kind of weird, but I figured she just popped off at some point

or is this just the VTuber meta, to have your fans idle the stream open 24/7?

I read this as etho-ting and was wondering what this has to do with Ethoslab

lol
