Well deary, I wouldn't want to get in any trouble

They make it sound like they are only notifying you that you are about to be arrested. They don't ask for payment and fake refuse the first offer if the mark offers. Then, when the madk is very worried they are about to go to jail, it is much easier for them to believe whatever because it's harder to think when you are panicking. So something like "our payment system is down so we cant take payment with cards right now. You need to pay within 30 minutes or I can't reverse it. I guess I can pay out of pocket, but you need to get me the equal amount of gift cards" or some shit like that.

Place your bets: What do you think he did? /s

If you open up to someone and they get weirded out this bad, they probably weren't worth having in your life anyway, or at least aren't right now.

Granted, if you have actual past trauma, you should work on it with a therapist instead of your partner. And if your partner hasn't gone through something similar and can't relate at all, you shouldn't go into great detail about it. I disclose what the general trauma was about and leave it at that.

Fuck all that "Gary Cooper" John Wayne build walls bullshit.

Anon tries to be ethical

Reply in thread

The scale is subjectively relative though. Maybe anon feels that because they eat meat, don't recycle, don't tip well, etc, that he is acting unethically. By that scale, he's probably significantly much more ethical than someone without that awareness.

It's really worth the watch. The main thing everyone is upset at is LTTs treatment of a small two man startup Billet Labs that sent LTT their one of a kind prototype watercooler. It would cool a cpu and gpu at the same time. LTT used a 4090, which it was not designed for, and they shit all over it.

Billet Labs sent them a 3090 ti, build guide, the cooler, and talked to an employee there about design choices that was not communicated to Linus as Linus criticized a lot that should have been covered. If you watch the LTT review video of the cooler under the context of this being a two man group startup showing off their prototype, the video comes off as very flippant and unprofessional. It was a LTT shit show video where the entertainment came from the use of metaphorical duct tape and bailing wire to make something work with no regard to how their opinions could break or make Billet Labs.

On the WAN show Linus said he didn't want to spend the $500 bucks in man hours to do the tests correctly and the results, even if significantly good, wouldn't change his opinion that "no one should ever buy this."

Billet Labs needed the prototype and video card back and was told twice they'd get it back. LTT sold the prototype at an auction for charity.

Linus put out a response, after Steve's video, making it sound like they were already in talks to pay Billet Labs back for the cost of the prototype. In a follow-up video Steve reached out to Billet, Billet says that they had not heard anything else from LTT until Steve's video.

That's just the core issue that everyone is mad about, there is a TON of stuff covered in the video and its worth watching. It's like a respectful professional nerd "Content Cop" video with the amount of depth he goes into everything.
