Which is exactly why Jonathan Frakes sits down like that!

See, I can get behind this 100%! Real, actual egalitarian society, and not constant isolationist/factionalist/nationalistic bickering.
Thank you for being honest and not flaming, I can certainly appreciate that perspective. I must be jaded from seeing people equate the EU and NATO so often.
I’ve seen a few lemmygrad users that aren’t tankies, but by far the majority are extremely opposed to the EU, NATO, etc. Nothing against you personally, just thought it was funny.
When someone literally named Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml praises the EU…
Brb, gonna go ice skating in Hell!
Yeah, his shtick of being the weird anti-social sardonic ass got old real fast once it became clear that it wasn’t an act (or once it was an act for so long that it just became his personality). I think working around him and Geoff specifically would have been extremely draining, having to walk on eggshells all the time lest you become the object of ridicule on the podcast/let’s plays.
Looking up all the RT employees that I remember on Wikia, though, it was pretty surprising to see that they ended up being some of the least problematic people there, at least from a legal standpoint. They had their issues, which I don’t want to diminish, but it was always very transparent with them admitting they’re assholes pretty much every chance they got. But, like, Ryan was fired for sexual harassment and grooming, what in the actual fuck?
Obviously this is all parasocial, so who knows what they were, or now are, really like, but playing a dick for 20 years might just make you a bit of a dick.

Wow, end of an era, even for people like me that fell off the RT train years ago. RvB was such a hit (at least the first several seasons, it seems like they ended up making 19?!), and they pivoted to different types of content and kept trying to diversify revenue streams ever since (games, movies, podcasts, etc.)
RT should be remembered as failing in selling out to Fullscreen/AT&T/TimeWarner, etc, etc., but more importantly, engaging in honestly some pretty horrific working conditions that were exposed over and over again throughout the years. They eventually made some changes that moved the company away from being a bro-fest for pals, but only slightly and way too late.
The IP should still have immense value, so it will be interesting to see what happens in that arena.
I think, other than RvB, my favorite memories of RT revolve around Gavin and Monty (RIP). Hopefully the less popular/wealthy employees are taken care of, somewhere far from Austin. The founders though… Gus, Bernie, Geoff, Matt, etc. are all multi-millionaires and/or long gone anyway, and I’m pretty sure each of them have their own controversies to deal with…

Just ask Gary Bowser…
“Pretend you are my dad, who owns a racism factory…”
Uhhhh no? What was the last time MSFT had a higher market capitalization than AAPL? A lot longer than one week ago…
So Debian is Wario, and LMDE is Waluigi?
As a LMDE user, I’m okay with this.
Yes, but I’d be willing to bet that most shrinkage isn’t due to disgruntled employees; it also covers non-employee theft, accidental spoilage, non-malicious misplacement, etc. It also varies wildly by industry.
…When the bot tries to explain Lemmy markdown to Dessalines, lol.
Good ole close the ticket with message “PEBKAC”
…downloading its movies via BitTorrent, an online service on which unauthorized content can be accessed by almost anyone with a computer and internet connection.
Ah yes, BitTorrent.com, where all of the illegal material on the web is! 🙄
I’m so sorry… it seems like your printer has daemons in it…
