What many people don’t realize is that a significant chunk of our oil processing infrastructure in America is designed for Venezuelas oil specifically. It’s very thick and that means a very different procedure for refinement. Thinner/watery crude oil from other places in the world is much easier to work with and many other places are already set up to refine that oil. Not everyone in the world is set up to process Venezuelas crude oil.

This also means we can’t just get oil somewhere else and run it through those same refineries with the same results. Venezuela has the single largest oil reserves and America spent a lot of time, energy and money to process that oil.

So yes it is about oil, but it’s much more complicated than simply “oil”.

Mostly unsubstantiated rumors passed around about why certain employees no longer work there. Linus has on multiple occasions admitted he was doing everything for the first time and he didn’t always get everything right as the company transitioned from some dudes in a house to a legitimate company.

Some don’t like him because of his opinions on things (most of the apple fanboys don’t like him because he regularly shits on apple and iPhones).

Some people don’t like him because of drama with other YouTubers (mostly Steve from gamers nexus).

As someone who used to watch him daily back when it was just him and Luke doing stupid shit in a regular house and doesn’t really watch him much anymore I don’t think Linus is an outright bad person. All of us are flawed in many ways. He seems like mostly a good guy and those who have met with him and worked with him that I have met or talked to only ever had nice things to say about him.

I don’t mind cheating in video games as long as it’s never against other players. Single player games or PVE games go ahead and cheat your ass off. As long as everyone involved with it is cool with it. The moment there is another human player on the other side of things NEVER cheat. Video games or otherwise.

Many moons ago I would to cheat in payday 2. Not because I cared about getting super rich but because I thought it was funny to make it rain duffle bags of gold bars that instantly kill anyone who isn’t hiding under something. Or just watching the absurdity of the AI trying to fight hundreds of little turrets. The people I was playing with were just messing around for a laugh at this point. We had beaten all the maps on all the difficulties and now we just wanted to break the game.

I stand corrected lol. Thanks Yall.

The full quote is “I can’t stand the word empathy. I think empathy is a made up new age term and it does a lot of damage. Sympathy is a better word, because empathy means you are actually feeling what another person felt, and no one can feel what another person feels.”

He was talking about how the democrats use language

I disagreed with the guy on a great many things, but cutting his clips out of context like this is pathetic.

If the data leaks are accurate it was a .30-06 mauser. Which would explain the instant severed spine and gush of blood from the footage. 5.56 just isn’t that large of a round and likely would never be able to make that type of wound with one round.

Man… My parents used to kick us outta the house in the morning. They would tell us we could come back inside for lunch around noon but then we had to leave again. We would bike around and get into all kind of shenanigans. Call them from a payphone and instead of saying our name for the call we would just tell them where we were super fast and then they would hear that and decline the call lmao.

As long as we came home before the sun went down or we called them from a friend’s house to get approval for a sleep over they didn’t really care what we did all day. Good times.

No it fucking doesn’t. You’re jumping to several conclusions and then making up reasons why you’re morally correct so you dont have to actually think about the nuances of human existence.

My local Costco prices everything at 88 cents because it’s in a heavily Chinese neighborhood and the number 8 is considered lucky to them.

It’s not always a dog whistle. But in this particular case it might be. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I’ve been working with computers and building them my whole life. I am pretty good with windows. I regularly tell potential employers in interviews that I rate my skills with windows computers at about a 6/10. I can probably fix anything you broke, but I am terrified of editing hex code and other things that the IT wizards do with ease.

I can take apart most electronics and put them back together without breaking them which is not a skill that most people possess apparently. Back when I worked at geeksquad I became known as the “laptop keyboard repair guy” in the area. Other stores would literally send people to see me because apparently nobody else can take apart an hp laptop and remember where all of the 47 screws went or do it without ripping a ribbon cable. 🤷🏼‍♂️

See my other comment responding to your flawed way of thinking.

It’s hard to trust people claiming so and so is a nazi when they can’t even properly define what a nazi is or how they know that person is one.

I’ll give you a tip though. Making a dark humor or offensive shirt/hat around a current event doesn’t make someone a nazi. Perhaps an asshole. Prick. Or some other colorful word you like, but it does not make that person automatically a nazi.

The only dipshits im seeing around here are people like you that cannot distinguish the difference between someone selling something they may or may not agree with from running a business. I am positive there are atheists who sell bibles. There are racists who will happily take money from people they hate. Unless you know the shop keeper very personally you have no idea what they think about it.

At best they don’t even understand what’s on the hat. At worst (given the context given from OP) they don’t care what the hats or shirts say on them as long as someone is buying them. To make the massive leap straight to “they must fully support this thing and hate minorities” is absolutely wild.

Is it possible they are actually Nazis? Absolutely. I am not saying that it’s impossible by any stretch of the imagination. I am simply saying that there is no way to know what that shop keeper thinks about anything. All we have to go off is the inherently biased retelling from OP.

I spent an entire afternoon talking with family on our patio before someone pointed out that my elbow had been ~6 inches from a black widow the size of a 50¢ coin the entire time. I had never seen such a big widow in my life and I grew up clearing out black widows from our breaker box and wood shed constantly.

Zero. Even if I vehemently disagree with someone I am still willing to see what they said.

I think echo chambers and “bubbles” are incredibly dangerous.

Are you purposely interpreting everything I say in the most bad faith way humanly possible or are you just retarded?

It’s almost like humans are incredibly complex and blanket labeling anyone who thinks differently from yourself as x thing is stupid.

Your way of thinking is small minded and short sighted.

I know that your kind hates Chick-fil-A because they are a Christian company that “hate the gays” or whatever . What do you think when I tell you that all my gay friends fuckin LOVE Chick-fil-A? Far more than any of my straight friends. Do you believe they are nazis too? Or could they just be gay people that love that sauce and that chicken? Are you capable of nuance whatsoever or is the entire world sorted completely into “right” and “wrong” in your mind?

Hopefully my grand children have a better understanding of the English language that you do. You people use “nazi” to describe anyone that doesn’t think exactly like you. 99.96% of the time I see people calling someone a nazi these days it’s literally just someone that has different beliefs. Yall have used the word so incorrectly for so long that it has lost all of its original meaning to most people.

Did none of you read “boy who cried wolf” growing up? Come on now.

The irony of that phrase being an absolute itself is not lost on me. My point stands.

I wasnt comparing rainbow stuff to nazi stuff. I was using a vaguely “opposite” thing to make my point about hypocrisy. Come on now.
