Ugh, I wish this guy wasn't so problematic. I really did enjoy his off hand type of humor.

Other than the Destiny debate which he has sense apologized for saying he was stupid and out of his depth, was there something else he did?
(other than beat Suzy and leave game grumps or whatever the people over at conspiracy grumps used to say /j lmao)
He never actually apologized. He released a video saying he expressed himself poorly or whatever, then took it down anyway. He never said all the racist points he made were wrong.
There is a lot of overt racism.
My boss once said, in front of all staff that it's proven that more money doesn't make people happy, and I suggested that we swap out paychecks. She laughed, nobody else did.
I'd rather cry in a Rolls Royce than at the bus stop
Really says more about the disdain for western public transportation.
I'll take coach seats on the Shinkansen over the driver's seat of a Ferrari.
Brother, I think being rolled down the street by a sumo wrestler is a better experience than most public transport around here
Worse ways to get rolled.
Well I'd take the destinations on the Shinkansen for wherever I'm going now...
It may not buy happiness, but it sure as hell removes a lot of obstacles to happiness!
It really doesn't. But it does buy a bunch of prerequesites.
I love this quote from Mr. Robot (paraphrase):
I don't care about money, as long as it's enough to live.
No, but having enough money buys financial security to do what you want.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise
that they're giving none away
99% of my problems can be resolved by money. So there's that
The more money they have, the less happy they are. They’re addicted to making money, to watching the line go up and to the right. They’re addicted to trying to destroy the competition and buy them out, to consolidate more and more and more.
They are right when they say that wealth isn’t the key to happiness. They’re riding the bull and they don’t know how to get off.
They’re addicted to trying to destroy the competition and buy them out
And that's how they get evil.
Money may not buy happiness, but it can buy a jetski, and have you ever seen someone look sad on a jetski?
I speak from personal experience. It's impossible to be sad on a (working) jet ski.
What if it's working, but isn't in water so it isn't going anywhere
Then you just make the vroom vroom noises and pretend like you're zooming around.
I feel like if every billionaire in the world donated even 1% of their wealth, the world would be a much better place
update: my bored insomniac arse decided to do a little maths
assuming the bare minimum that each billionate has £1,000,000,000 each, 1% of 1 billion is 10 million. there's 3,028 billionares worldwide so if each of them donated 1% (10,000,000 x 3,028) that'd be a WHOPPING £30,280,000,000 and that's a very conservative estimate
Isn't this a picture of the guy who owned Pollen, the company that scammed hundreds of millions of pounds from customers and paid for a dream wedding abroad costing millions while bouncing cheques to his staff?
No this is the youtuber JonTron
I thought it was weird, thanks
Yup, they do look similar so I see why you got them mixed up
Better be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.
Reminder! If your utopia relies on everyone giving up their power peacefully, it is bound to fail. :)
