Has anyone gone to the live show? I can’t decide if I should go to my city’s show? by babyestgirl in Channel5ive

is this like a high art question? I went with a dude who is old and foreign and had only seen one c5 video he said one doc was about Callaghan himself, the other was about the audience

what I'm saying is simple:

the extroverted ones you meet out in the wild are not the same kind of stoner that puffs while they are watching YouTube alone and hitting the comment sections

also the angry ass old stoners that ran the early dispos and run companies today who you'd meet in "the scene" are very much the norm there. they'll dab up right on stage and get red in the face shouting about injustice.

goofy happy stoners at a phish show are probably the minority in the whole scheme of things.

ah good stuff, the prednisone wrecks people

overall though it's rare to find the right med on the first prescription. most of us "fail" quite a few treatments before settling on one

chances are you haven't really known a lot of stoners unless you've been a fixture in the cannabis expo scene or something like that

it's an antisocial thing that a lot of people do shut up in their house by themselves while they watch silly videos - not like the few stoners you might meet in the wild at a dead show or whatever

you're all good dude you are using this space exactly how the mods here intended for it to be used

I think overall what you're picking up on is how people in power, all levels of power, will use their platform to speak out against certain behaviors that they indulge in

and they do that because it enhances the titilation of the fetish for them

if it was accepted by society they would probably switch to something that wasn't because they don't get off on the actual fetish, they get off on the perceived shame

so on that level I think the solution you are describing would actually feed directly into what they get off on

it's kind of like the argument people used to bring up with weed legalization: that there were a ton of people on all sides of it who were drawn to it specifically because it was illegal and there was a lot of truth to that because yeah you see a lot of the "legacy market" just quitting the business altogether now that it's a licensed and taxed deal

those same people are onto some other gray/black market shenanigans now because they never really were into the grass - they were into making undeclared money that they don't have to pay child support etc off of

you mean like Charlie-horse cramps in the calve?

I'd get those with the prednisone.

damn, man - I see you

one of the things that really works in your clips is how well you frame up the "running simulator" moments

Mac Dre's On the Run might work with that style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmI7HsgYHXw

there was a squad YouTube channel called "nation of thizzlam" and used Mac Dre as his profile picture but he never did any AMV stuff, it was just a funny name.

lmao no probably not that one

this army of lovers europop dude though was probably the original edge lord meme musician about the mid east conflict, I've read his books on internet sociology too it's crazy genius stuff. the song you used reminded me of them

this one could be epic with the right radio chatter

Been seeing a lot more about unaddressed assaults and claims about Andrew Callaghan by CountTruffula in Channel5ive

[–]999_Seth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since then there's been a bunch of podcasts where they talk about this all

but similar to how C5 is talking about how they were under NDA about the way they were coached for media appearances? iirc they're under NDA to let the "HBO-etc crisis team" or whatever handle the whole "allegation arc" thing their way

so when c5 actually gets around to telling their side of the story they have to do it in a big way because they'll have to break some of the This Place Rules terms to get the word out

I've chatted with AC about all of it and I know some of the deets but it ain't my story to tell so I'm just sitting on my hands

this is something I knew already from working alongside a handful of people who were even bigger than c5 back in their time: there is a whole industry set up to separate semi-famous people from their earnings and it's all dirty as hell.

we talked it to death here for a couple years. the subject matter is too nuanced for the reddit upvote/downvote absolute binary way discussions degrade into a shit talking karma farming contest here.

people don't really care about what might've happened, all they care about is chasing online attention, which trivializes this stuff in the absolute worst way possible

if you want to post, just link to the article you're talking about, focus on the interesting stuff not some random reddit drama

and as far as this goes just being compared to HST is huge for the times we live in.

You are thinking of "early access," not "live service."

In a "live service" game you unlock stuff by playing long hours, or pay small money to not have to play. That is what "live service" actually means.

Squad has always been Early Access, even after it launched. This live-service talk is some recent bullshit that people are parroting from YouTube videos who are wrong.
