[@jonasmuller9196]

About the Costco is communist bit at 11:15 there is a book about that exact thing called "The People's Republic of Walmart: How the World's Biggest Corporations are Laying the Foundation for Socialism"

[@AcceptTheNull]

Walmart abusing welfare by paying people only so little as to qualify for assistance is not the same as buying a single product at cheaper cost because you bought more upfront, by committing to purchasing only that one said product, known also as capitalism.

[@CitizenVan]

@@AcceptTheNull Haven't read the book, but from what I've heard people say about it, it's not saying "Walmart has cheap products, therefore socialism." It's more about how Walmart is an example of large scale central planning and how free-market capitalism is actually inefficient in many ways compared to a planned economy. I would assume that Costco, being another multinational corporation, probably does similar things to Walmart in this respect. Both corporations are capitalist obviously, but the book apparantely argues that if central planning can work for these corporations, then it can work for socialism or whatever. idk, ask someone's who's read it.

[@cdw2468]

@@CitizenVanthat’s exactly the point. it actually brings up sears as a company that encouraged internal competition and failed because of it. even if you’re not a socialist (i am one) i think it’s an interesting read

[@weirdblackcat]

@@CitizenVan also, Walmart would rank 25 in GDP if compared to actual countries. It's that massive. Bigger GDP than Norway, Ireland, Austria, and, well, the remaining >150 countries.

I'm jealous. My old ass can't watch movie at a theater without getting up to pee at least once. It's like pavlovian

[@aleksande222]

I was listening to him while falling asleep and in my semiconscious state, him speaking sounded like a madman arguing with the voices in his head.

[@Re-Crafted]

I only recently started watching NL and I don't understand the slang he uses. I am familiar with it, however the implied meanings seem different to what I am used to. For example, i thought "No disrespect, but..." is used when you want to politely disagree with someone, but when NL says "No disrespect, but...", it roughly translates to "Fuck you and everything you stand for bitch get owned." Is this just an NL thing or is this a Canadian thing?

[@gdjobufckngfruitcake]

It’s an NL thing. He also uses a lot of sarcasm so there’s an adjustment period of “Is he being serious or is it a meme” @Librarian we could use a “times I thought NL was being serious but it was just sarcasm Ryan in a 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 good disguise”

[@imaplague]

typically it is, however he uses it that way as a comedic thing of going against the typical usage kinda like hyperbole

[@_Sean.]

Typically it depends on who you're talking to and what context you're using it in. If I'm talking to my friends and we're trash talking, and I say "No disrespect, but..." then yeah it means the latter. But if I'm talking to someone I only know a little and I want to disagree then it would mean the former. (I'm also western Canadian, like NL)

[@null_wizard]

No disrespect, but...

Brilliant thumbnail.

You know it's a good joke when you can hear him open a can as he says it.

[@nadogger]

49:00 i was curious what the difference was between the spindown and a normal d20. it seems like a spindown is easier to cheat with, as there's a whole side that has the large numbers. theoretically you can try to toss the die to land on one plane with those numbers over the other. i kinda get it; if you're at a fnm where you gotta pay and hopefully win, i'd want it to be as competitive as possible, especially if the options there. but in a casual settings, it doesn't really matter as long as you give it a good shake and toss. and even then, it appears that many d20s aren't numerically random as well. depending on manufacturing, the grooves of the numbers on the die can affect the weight, as well as air bubbles and the like. ideally you'd have each of the faces that meet at a vertex to add up to 52/53 for it to be as close to random as possible. maybe i'm one of those nerds...

[@rolfsoldaat]

I played D&D with a DM who called out a (newby) player for using a spindown. Thought that was a weirdo move but it stuck in my head and now I'm that guy too. It's like a mind virus.

we dont have costco where i live. hearing ryan talk about costco feels like a mythological place. a fictional realm of wonders and hot dogs

[@TheBmang]

I genuinely just don't believe him when he talks about 1.50 hot dog

[@TemmiePlays]

there's few versionms of it in USa too, like Sams club ( used to be a walmart subsidary ) you PAY PERMONTH to be allowed to buy massively bulk items at a discount. the only way to reasonably consider the price fpor membership IS those hotdogs..which are longer than your arm and you get like 2 for 2 bucks.

Literally what

[@gigitrix]

It being the musical equivalent of Kendal Jenner passing a pepsi to a riot cop is not helping your case bro

[@TemmiePlays]

@@gigitrix it wasnt the musical equivalent to that. they made pop music, and that was a pop song. and it performed very well. there's musiuc that came out before WITL that still hasn't exceeded it's popularity. Unlike literally solving everyones issues with a freekin can of pepsi - the song challegend ideas and brought stuff to public eye that we were comfortable talking about. you kinda HAD to be in USA to have given half a crap bc other wise it IS jus music lol. the kendal jenner thing was a made up commercial over tnohing to sell pepsi. lol whjaty a garbage analgoy you whipped up , dipped in armchair slactivist sauce
