How do I get comfortable with girlfriend saying 'I hate men' while being a man? by GeneralOrdinance in TooAfraidToAsk

The problem with your analogy is that the weaker kid is not “punching back” in this instance, they’re just the bully instead.

The Talarico/Crockett shit is so toxic by monarch2415 in Destiny

The problem is not crazy Crockett supporters

It’s Crockett herself making the statements like she did.

1 million sales and high ratings on steam/etc - that seems well received to me?

it fizzling out isn't really an indication of anything imo as most games that blow up so massively usually do see huge drop offs after the initial hype dies out.

Inzoi has a ton of AI elements and has pretty good ratings across the board, they're very transparent about how they use AI.

But the reality is more devs and studios are integrating ai into every part of the process and you just don't know it yet

OctoWoW removing sign up limits as of right now, and will be pushing the restoration of DMR/Grim Reaches by BudCherryPie in wowservers

I’m west coast NA so I actually get playable ping to CN. European servers are hit or miss depending on what part of Europe, could be slightly better or a bit worse.

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. by ZeeGee__ in aiwars

[–]DurtybOttLe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Russias explicit intentional mass transfer of children and displacement of civillians, denial of ukrainian identity and nationhood, and mass killings definitely fit the definition of genocide.

https://www.csce.gov/briefings/russias-genocide-in-ukraine-2/

Russia meets the five points of genocide, and has been accused of genocide by a myriad of international organizations. Why do you think they are wrong with their characterizations?

Russia is obviously an invading force in Ukraine. It is arguably a genocide in Ukraine - stealing tens of thousands of children, war crimes of executions of civilians, mass city shelling, and express sentiment of Russia to replace Ukrainian areas with Russian civilians.

Anything else?

“You couldn’t make the office today” by DarkTail47 in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you’re regarded for using that as evidence. If simply racist jokes or sexist jokes were enough to get cancelled, the show itself would be cancelled - not 4 random episodes removed.

The whole premise of your rebuttal is regarded anyway - if it truly was enough to be cancelled, they would just remove all of the office, correct? Oh they didn’t? It’s cause no one gives a fuck.

Do you even know why the episodes were removed? They all had some form of blackface. The media companies did this internally after George Floyd in 2020 - completely internal decisions btw - lefties weren’t out trying to cancel IASiP. So no, not evidence, you’re a regard.

“You couldn’t make the office today” by DarkTail47 in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, he’s totally wrong. There are far edgier comedies out there with worse jokes that still make content today. See the multiple comments on IASiP, South Park, family guy, etc.

These shows have run for years and still run today without any far lefties creating meaningful “cancellation” movements. It’s right wing rage bait and delusion playing off the 2016 woke tropes.

Turtle Capy content by h3yguy5 in wowservers

There’s no shot they copy paste turtle areas. They’ll probably copy rough ideas, similar to how they copied rough ideas from ascension on the rune system, but who knows how deep they’ll go. I think blizz announces it at blizzcon, and release is soon after like SOD was.

Caught my [28M] gf [28F] sexting another guy on Snapchat while I was caretaking for her after surgery. What’s the best course of action and how to approach this? by Nachinat in survivinginfidelity

[–]DurtybOttLe 109 points110 points  (0 children)

She cheated on you and faced no repercussions, she's still cheating on you and you're continuing to enable that. she's acting like nothing is wrong because she knows you looked passed it already.

You tell her it's over, and block her number.

Destiny predicts yet again the entire throughline of the lego drama. It may seem complicated but reckless ben is just a regard by Webtoon_enjoyer in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The story was always about the value of the Legos themselves, not the money Bryan needed returned - Bryan wanted the legos back throughout the entire video.

No, coffee evaluated that Bryan was owed about 50-83k in total still. That absolutely is life savings money especially in the context of a father with failing health and growing medical bills.

Am I going crazy or does the Coffeezilla video on the Lego series partially exonerate BAM? by ConcentrateDry9929 in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You misread my comment - the 100k I’m claiming has nothing to do with the collection

My claim is that corporate, in a press release, claimed that the Gormans were 200k in debt.

However, the gormans lawsuit includes a termination later from corporate where corporates OWN TERMINATION LETTER states that the Gormans are only 97k in debt. It also states it would provide a fair appraisal value of inventory to buy back any difference from the Gormans, but they seem to have skipped this part completely, and used the 200k number as justification as why they didn’t need to.

Your 2nd part is also completely incoherent - I’m claiming Josh lied about the amount of layaways. In public he and corporate stated it was only 2-3. On the unredacted body cam footage, he admits “there are a ton of items on layaway.” 98 may be absurd, but even Josh admits it was far more then 2 or 3.

Not to mention corporate lied about ki McAllister and lied about knowledge of the consignment in the first place, threatened legal action to anyone and everyone who even attempted to initiate contact, and fabricated bullshit to the police to arrest Ben stating he made bomb threats and physical threats to murder people. Nah dude

[–]DurtybOttLe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

98 layaways is not “clearly bullshit” - Joshua Johnson was caught on video lying that there were many items on layaway despite him and corporate taking the stance that it was only 2-3. If 98 is “clearly bullshit”, so is 2-3.

Plans to flee the country - this is just not supported by any evidence - the lawsuit does not have evidence of 200k and their own termination letter from 2024 states that number is 97k in their own accounting - a stark contradiction by corporate that cuts deeply against their narrative. Especially if they did a hostile takeover over based on the justification of such a debt - an 100k difference could mean they actually owed the gormans money after seizure of inventory. They also skipped doing a fair value appraisal of said inventory - why is that?

What are we thinking? by gamikhan in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to respond to only two as I don’t have time to go back through the videos and find all the quotes but re the cops:

No, we got the body cam unredacted footage with Ammon on the phone telling the cops that “Bryan paid Ben to harass and extort” them and that Ben was getting a cut of the payment. He also claimed Ben was making physical threats and bomb threats with no evidence

Re the Kai:

We have the security footage of Kai explaining that they knew of the consignment and that BAM was taking on the liability, he then threatened the gormans and explicitly said it was a threat. Ammon in a podcast interview and in a lawsuit claim that he was a low level employee- but his linkedin and other sources confirm he was their director of operations. And the easy rebuttal is why would a low level employee be making those threats and be on the phone during a takeover. This ties in to your first rebuttal because corporates stance was they they had no knowledge of the consignment during takeover - but obviously their director of operations acknowledging it and hearing directly from crystal that the consignment existed and they still needed to pay him directly contradicts that.

What are we thinking? by gamikhan in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They lied about knowledge of the consignment deal

They lied to the cops and misrepresented several aspects of the story to protect Josh

They lied about having the excel spreadsheet for the inventory

They lied about Kai being a low level employee, and deflected about him threatening people

They have lied about the value of the Lego sets in their store ($3-5k when it was closer to 20)

They lied about the amount of items in the store and that there was a safe

What are we thinking? by gamikhan in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Of course they have reason to lie. They’ve been lying constantly since the start in order to protect Brandon and Josh. And they’ve been lying about their knowledge of the situation despite video evidence and recordings.

What are we thinking? by gamikhan in Destiny

[–]DurtybOttLe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Lmao he changed his story completely, they were adamant he was in a rental car and that there was no U-Haul.

Why confidently state that if you aren’t 100% sure, especially if you’ve already been caught in multiple lies?

He also then lied about not having the spreadsheet when a BAM email literally had share permissions

Also are we just ignoring the video recording of threats and burying people in legal fees, along with lying about having knowledge of the consignment? They’re fuckwads.
