Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I love his cohost sitting there like "holy fuck I didn't know Linus grew up in the 1940s"

What linus is actually trying to say is very true though, it's wild how pervasive that particular word was not even that long ago. Like back in 2013 it was still pretty much normal for most people

Anyone remember Mind of Mencia?

I didn’t until you brought it up

I used it until some years ago because I legit didn't know it was a slur until I joined hexbear.

You can pinpoint the exact moment Luke wonders to himself if he still has his old manager's phone number for when Monday rolls around after Twitter gets to this.

After the initial shock he kinda looked similar to me when I dissociate. I'll never forget how pissed he looked during the "trust me bro" warranty episode. I saw a supercut on reddit I think since I stopped watching Linus sometime soon after I heard his attrocious takes on unions.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

He did have terrible takes on unions but I did have some respect for him saying in no uncertain terms "if my employees want to unionize that's their choice, nothing I can do about it" which of course is a low bar since that's just legally true, but I've known plenty of small business owners who don't recognize that fact at all and think they're petty lords in a feudal system

What a rollercoaster

It's funny what this implies he thinks a "soft R" means

I was thinking something like "wascal" but with the real r-word slur.

The n-word hard-r is definitely worse than the n-word soft-r/a, but Linus' definition of hard vs soft r is more ambiguous as to which one is worse if used in a sentence.

I had a speech impediment until like 10th grade so I feel this in my bones. Everyone used to come up and tell me, “Hey [TheDoctor], say [the r word] for me. Real quick.”

Edit: Did I say “everyone”? I meant my friends. Only my friends did that to me. I’m autistic btw.

Linus is so lucky that they both had different understandings of the phrase. Imagine if they were on the same wavelength and just kept talking assuming everyone knew what they meant lol

clown-to-clown-communication "yeah man it's just the way it was, everybody was throwing around the hard R in 2003" clown-to-clown-conversation

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

He wasn’t justifying it lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Are those emotes pictures of of JREG? Because it’s funnier if they are.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Lol what a blunder.

Honestly good job walking it back though.

Nuh nuh no... I was talking about {adjective of having a intellectually delaying disability}, not the other hard R -
