No; what, he’s exactly wrong in saying that! Regardless on your thoughts on unions, that’s never something that a CEO/Founder should say about their company, first because it’s just incredibly stupid like you noted, but also because it’s the biggest red flag that you DO need to unionize ASAP!
At the end of the day, Linus was trying to sell ‘we don’t need a union because we’re the cool workplace’, but it’s always been because unions, by definition, dilute the power of people in his position, which I’m sure he feels very threatened by, especially the longer he built this Jenga tower.
And if you think that companies that are unionized are a sign of failure… well, I don’t know how to address that without pulling out my own hair.
Wow, that’s incredibly terrible, much worse than I could have imagined. I feel so bad for her, and so mad at the working environment at LTT. I started getting red flags when Linus kept bringing up his classic line “I feel like if my company unionized then I’ve failed” every other week on the WAN show. Unsubbed then because I thought he was being myopic in his little capitalist startup bubble, but no, turns out he’s just completely insufferable, and a union would have eventually led to a complete overhaul at LTT, if not lawsuits, something he would rather give up the CEO role to avoid.
Nice! I’m getting my Retroid RP3+ delivered today (not the atomic purple colorway, though), and I’ll be swapping out the joysticks for 3rd party Switch-style hall-effect joysticks. That swap should be less than 30 mins, but I really appreciate the inspiration! The sub-$150 retro gaming scene is getting crazy good!

They don’t stay in the open in tight-packed columns for long; they’re poorly-trained, not completely braindead. The AFU were likely waiting to see which tree line they were going to set up in, then struck.

Having driven and driven in a couple of Jeeps, I’d imagine you could get it to somersault like that by stomping on the brakes while doing anything over 60mph.
Well there’s also microtransactions in 5, which is why I didn’t mention that. It’s mostly just me yearning for the older style of simple flash game that doesn’t really exist anymore. 1-3 are pretty dated at this point, I just feel like 4/5 were in that sweet spot where they started polishing up the old classic style. 6 feels very polished, so it’s probably a bit of cognitive dissonance on my part as well in comparing it to the originals.
I just found two great rom hacks online you may be interested in if you haven’t already, Pokémon - Red Version++, and Pokémon - Blue Version Kaizo. While the former stays true to the original with added QoL improvements that make it more playable, the latter provides a challenging rearrangement of the classic that makes me feel like I’m playing Pokémon for the first time again.
