While I think Linus can be way too whiny at times. I think he handled the situation well if everything stated is true. He made it clear on his forum that they terminated the partnership/sponsorship. He could have made a ‘more public statement (e.g., a video on ltt)’ but as he stated, viewers probably would have raked him over the coals for doing so. It likely would have been perceived as ‘oh no! Honey stole money from me but gave you a discount. Woe is me.’

He still is too whiny as of the last few years but as a small business (very small; ~20 employees) owner myself, I kind of get it. I go out of my way to try to give my employees the best possible experience but sometimes people think I’m just taking advantage of them (despite me paying my full-time employees 1.5x my pre-tax take home rate). So I kind of get why he acts that way at times. Now, I don’t condone it, but I understand.

Edit I love what Steve from GN is doing. I reported the honey extension when this news initially came out. I have supported all his pro consumer reports/actions.

17 C here as well. I used to find it comfortable but as I get older, I’m needing more and more clothes or blankets. I blame my thinning hair.

Plus 1 for Ahoy! So happy he seems to be back making videos a bit more consistently.

Which are lies? I’d be happy to present sources. I mean, if the left’s “marketing” is wanting to help others, yeah, that’s pretty good marketing. I personally like helping others which is why I lean left I guess…

What have they convinced me of that’s not true? Please enlighten me. I do like debating and am open to having my mind changed (I did consider myself a Republican for the majority of my life after all).

I didn’t know the left did all this:

-Plotted to kidnap a governor.

-Committed an insurrection.

-Threw away a pandemic response plan because they thought it would hurt big cities more than rural areas.

-Let businesses take PPP loans when they didn’t need it and not hold business accountable for what they did with those funds.

-Block student loan forgiveness saying it’s too much money to spend (very hypocritical based on their PPP loans stance).

-Put policies in place to make voting harder.

-Reversed Roe v Wade to let the states decide. Then when a state votes in favor of abortion, they don’t want to honor the people’s decision.

-Trying to stop legalization of marijuana (even when it’s put to a state vote) despite it being overwhelmingly favored by both parties.

-Banning/preventing life saving medical care (example ectopic pregnancies).

-Blame gun violence on mental health but then vote against mental health programs…

-Ignore experts in fields of science and education because it goes against their agenda.

-Plead to let the people decide on a new supreme court judge at the end of a presidential term (i.e. let the next president appoint the judge), only to not do the same when they hold office.

-Have Nazis on their side…

-Are in favor of gerrymandering (an unfair political strategy)

Oh wait, all that wasn’t the left…

To say the left has gone crazy with the current state of affairs is blatantly ignorant. And to cast a wide net on anyone who opposes what you think is right is also extremely dangerous and akin to facism. I don’t think every Republican is out of touch or crazy. I think they have many valid concerns. What I disagree with is the majority of Republican politicians. There are actually a few Republican politicians I do like just like there a ton of Democrat politicians I don’t like. It’s the direction the Republican party is going in regards to policies that I disagree with.

And the right literally have stated they are in favor of smaller federal/national government and that states should have more power (hence a smaller government…)

Yeah, we did that and there was an insurrection… Do you think if they get voted in this time and then lose next round that they will leave peacefully?

You guys who? I used to vote Republican… I’m an independent voter who wants a political reform of ranked choice voting, removing the 2 party system, etc… I only vote Democrat now because the GOP shoved their foot so far up their ass showing their true colors.

The GOP went full orange cult. They’re now hell bent on taking rights away and decide to vote against anything positive for their constituents as long as it is under the name of opposing democrats. They used to be the party of small government. Now they want to control everything and remove only regulations that ‘stop profit.’ They’re not even close to being the same party they used to be.

Except the GOP has already started doing those things… It’s not like this is coming out of nowhere. I hate the DNC but hate facism a whole lot more so the choice is clear.

Same here. I left for about 10 years but started coming back gradually a few years ago. After everything that happened this year, I made the full switch to Mozilla on all my devices. I’m very happy to be back though!

You can get wireless IP cameras and put them on a separate wireless network that does not connect to the internet.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted when you’re right.
