Do they cover the patreon drama? Or they gonna swerve it completely and not even address their mistake.. as a $10 patreon for years now I don’t think it’s the end of the world and I don’t plan on stopping my payment. I think access to pkn and early access to pka is worth it. But I can see how bigger supporters would be upset by the lack of follow thru on promises.

[@DrZeuce]

Dude that's on average almost all farm kids lives. Where im from they all had trucks first and privilege could be the word for it, but I eventually I recognized my parents (mom only for me) just didn't have the ethic theirs did. Like the most city kids could do is take the family mower and hit the neighborhood hitting licks. Or get into selling drugs which pays a little better even at 13 😂😂

he had a privileged childhood but you can tell he's disciplined and works hard for what he wants, this isn't a bad thing, more parents should raise their children this way imo.

[@jayperz]

I really like josh. I found him a couple years ago when I was going through my divorce and I came across his video about his divorce. There was a lot I could relate to and it really helped me in some of my hard times. After watching it a few times I watched some of his other videos about his life and I was shocked. He’s such a nice and humble guy and doesn’t deserve anything that’s happened to him. I love his channel though. As someone who has never had the desire to work a corporate job and aim to be self employed, he has a lot of insight into the corporate ecosphere that will keep you away when the corporate salary looks so appealing

I feel like their distaste in Christianity or religion in general is because their parents lacked any reasonable judgement when introducing them to it. They all sound like their early experiences in the church were borderline abusive cults.
