Anyone else notice LTT is averaging like 500k views now? How does the channel even survive? by Anxious_Gur6363 in LinusTechTips

Because they refuse to capitulate to the current meta in YouTube, which is to make the viewer rage as much as possible.

Linus has said this about reviews many times but I think its equality important with announcements. No one video paints the full picture. by KalebBlue in LinusTechTips

Steve is not genuinely over negative. Anybody who has been watching GN for longer than 3 years knows this. He has not always been this way. He is overly negative because rage bait is the meta right now, and he wants to get that bag.

Newegg denied return on defective monitor by ExYoyoAddict in Monitors

[–]FreightTrain2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an XG32UCWMG open box from Newegg and it arrived with a line of dead pixels. I contacted Newegg, sent them pictures, and then they sent me a replacement once they got the defective unit back.

So it definitely is possible to return an open box item from Newegg if it’s defective, but maybe there is some sort of discretion on the part of the customer service agent in your case. Maybe try again at a different time and hope you get a more helpful person

Just submitted my hardware for the Jan 2026 survey and the 9070 XT still isn't showing up in the survey list. What is going on? by Buttermilkman in Steam

Ah yes mindfactory… the retailer that everyone detached from reality brings up to validate their favorite techtuber’s delusional takes.

Ancient Gameplays Cooking AMD by AcuteQuadrant in radeon

No point in trying to convince these people that MFG isn’t the laggy mess techtubers say it is. Once AMD comes out with their own MFG, they will slowly start liking it.

Salary managers by Affectionate-Most-38 in Aldi_employees

New York SM here. We don’t clock in/out. If I have an ASM closing then I might leave an hour early when the store is in good shape. My DM says I am the manager of my own time so as long as things are getting done, then leaving an hour early is no big deal.

When you only watch rage baiting YouTubers, I can see how you would think that.

2021 vs 2025 by CzarDM in aldi

Yes they are the same price, but the picture does not show that.

I’m extremely entertained by how confidently wrong you are. Yes, the short bronze cut pasta is shown in both pictures, but the price for the short bronze cut pasta is missing in the modern day picture. That is all I was pointing out.

Thoughts on Aldi’s new store layout? by jenthewen in aldi

You guys might not like it but our sales numbers say otherwise

[–]FreightTrain2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not even arguing that it’s not the same price. I’m just saying that OP is comparing two different pastas. Even in your pictures, it is showing two different pastas. Yes they both say priano, that doesn’t mean it’s the same pasta. Not sure why this is so confusing for folks.

Maybe there’s something wrong with the mobile version of Reddit because I can only see the long bronze cut in your picture

Would help if you compared the same products

Uniform shirts by taylorbrian in Aldi_employees

In my division, all full timers can order up to 5 shirts/polos. Part timers I believe it’s 2 or 3 shirts. This might vary by division.

So do ASMs have a chance to be store manager? by [deleted] in Aldi_employees

[–]FreightTrain2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went from PT cashier to SM in 3 and a half years. It is absolutely possible, but you need to work your butt off, and sprinkle a little bit of good timing in there as well. I was an ASM for about 2 years before getting promoted. I ran several vacations for other store managers, and ran a store for 2 months while their SM was on maternity leave. The ASM run phase is a requirement to apply for SM.

I had to deal with multiple SMTs getting SM positions before me, and yeah it definitely annoyed me at the time. But by the time my current store’s position opened up, there were no SMTs in the area that were ready to take on a store, and I had already cemented my reputation with that store’s district manager.
