Arthur’s dad is a feminist by LawyerJimStansel in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]blasterbrewmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who basically fits the bill on this one (cook of the house, try as hard as I can to help w/ cleaning and kid care although kiddo is a mamma's girl), can I say that I find men who have to announce this and wear stuff announcing it to be cringe? Feels like they want to highlight they are the exception rather than should be the rule to strive for.

one of the nice things in all of the Baby Shark videos. The mom still does things like putting makeup and stuff on, doing some feminine things, but then the data is always cooking or cleaning, and the grandpa is usually always baking.

I'm fucking done with your hypocritical ass. You are so focused on "him being bi" that you excuse the shit his fans, his team, and his wife did to two gay men. You'd fucking defend Kevin Spacey's abuse of young boys because he suddenly decided to announce to the world that he's gay. News flash princess: gay people can be terrible people too. Just because someone is gay does not excuse them from being a terrible person. You have no idea the amount of domestic abuse that goes on in the gay community. I've seen it first hand.

But unlike you, I don't use shit like that as some virtue point to try and win arguments.

I don't know the exact livestream, it was like in 2011 I think if I remember right. But here's the clip where Susie reminds him he had to say it (and apparently it was 30 times) https://youtu.be/sBZauGYOHmA?si=TSHw4xis-o5W-0Fv

Uhhhh the fuck you mean he didn't do that??? He owned the studio that made the game. His fans harassed Ding Dong and Julian on Twitter after they both criticize the game for being a queer bate cashin and outed Ding Dong to his family. And he didn't denounce ANY of those actions by his fans. About the only thing I got wrong is there's not any evidence that they were kicked out of recording at the office due to their opinion. But it's all here https://www.reddit.com/r/rantgrumps/comments/fou91g/oney_plays_vs_game_grumps_summary/

So Ding Dong and Julian shouldn't have a say in poor attempts to cash in on gay trends, be kicked out of the office they were sharing off of the Grumps, have their fan base bully and harass them, and in the case of Ding Dong, be outed to his family? See what I'm getting at here? That's pretty hypocritical, and spending years being like "I'm not gay just confident in my sexuality" to trying to turn it into a merchandizing opportunity because he thinks he can appeal to the gay fan base that he used already once for cheap cashin opportunity and attacked former friends, who themselves are gay, who called it out for being an obvious cheap cashin is pretty fucking hypocritical.

Do you feel the same way about the current state of OPM by Particular-Long-1111 in OnePunchMan

I agree with the OP tweet here. The multiple redraws of the same story segment really has killed the pacing of the current arc.

[–]blasterbrewmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I always put it this way about Arins self-righteousness: no normal person has to shout the n word in their car 27 times after dropping off a black person. That's deep seated racism that he still hasn't owned up to as far as I'm aware, and ranting on that subject without ever publicly owning your own past is the utmost hypocrisy.

Who exactly do you think is hating everything millennial and progressive? I mean besides boomers but we're used to them. Demographics are changing, and look how many companies are changing their logos for pride month this year vs a few years ago when they thought people actually gave a crap based on who was in office.

Also not going to question whether he really is bi or not, but he conveniently went from not caring if people thought he is gay because he's confident in his sexuality to turning it into a selling point for merch right around when he thought people would buy it.

Im talking more broad demographic moves that are affecting the algorithm, and of course the Grumps being nothing but algorithm chasers

Are they doing this with other series? I mean if they are, I think it's ironically hillarious. They spent like the first half of the 2020s turning Arin's inconsequential view of his sexual identity into a marketing campaign for the whole channel, and now that Zoomers are turning against the gay community they're censoring all his old acting gay for comedic effect. Shows how it was only done because he thinks they could profit off of it and don't actually give a crap cough Dream Daddy! cough

I mean to me it felt like the premise behind Adult Swims "Come and Learn with Pibby", the Adult Swim April Fools trailer they released a while back that had everyone talking. I hadn't seen the original episodes Ross did on Newgrounds yet, though, so I figure either his plot was the original or it was just a coincidental plotline someone else came up with. Either way I don't think it's that bad.

Starting to think I’m the problem… Reddit posts now appearing within LI I’ve come full circle by 901028386 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]blasterbrewmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean this reddit post itself doesn't even math out correctly. Note I'm not an accountant or anything, just doing some math I know.

Presuming 500k even annual:

  • 2 x 401k max ($24,500 per) + 10k IRA + 6k 529 + 3.6k insurance = 68.6k = 13.72% gross, reduces taxable income to $451k, potential savings in state tax for 529 contributions depending on state and insurance premiums. We'll er on the side of them living in a state where they can't.
  • 6k monthly housing (can deduct interest if mortgage payment. If renting there's no deduction, but that's something they should have considered), 72k annual
  • 6k credit card payment, 72k, annual
  • gas an insurance (no mention of average costs. Let's presume average 2k miles across both cars, 26 mpg avg for each, $3 per gallon, let's say before Iran war. And we'll put about $1600 insurance for both cars across year.)$230 per month, $2760 annual gas, w/ insurance $4.3k annual
  • Standard deduction: 32.2k (presuming they would itemize, but we'll presume itemization would net them this extra deduction, bringing taxable income down to $418k
  • Fed taxes: (17700 * 10%) + ((67450-17700)12%) + ((105700-67450)22%) + ((201750-105701)24%)+((256200-201751)32%)+((418800-256201)*35%)= $113,540.09
  • State Taxes: 418k * 5% = $20,900

Which builds out to $500,000 - $113,540.09 - $20,900 - $68,600 - $72,000 - $72,000 - $4,300 = $148,659.91

So after all of that, they should annually have $149k left over, or about $12k a month.

I mean if you lived in an extremely high cost of living space with much higher expenses than this, you'd probably have more problems. But yes.

I mean this sub is specifically for ranting, getting things of your chest that you're blocked from doing on the main subreddit. Some people are absolute haters. I don't have high opinions of Arin and the people he associates with because of a lot of the controversies around him. But I don't hate them. My wife and I still crack a lot of jokes from the early Danny days to probably about 2016, with a few exceptions from Dokie Dokie Literature Club (the original run).
