  • Their titles and thumbnails are clickbait, but I disagree here. First, plenty of YouTubers have shared that clickbait titles lead to more views at an insanely high ratio, so it’s worth it.

    Yeah, integrity might oppose, but if you have a message to send, you gotta go to your audience. I can see both sides, I personally wouldn’t do it, but I would rather have their voice than not.

    Their journalism IS better than legacy media right now. That’s just the said state of current media. CBS could have defeated the shakedown lawsuit, chose to settle. Paramount could have, chose to settle. None asking the hard questions when they have GOP on as guests.

    Meidas Touch doesn’t get GOP interviewees that I’ve seen, so we can’t compare apples to apples, but I bet they would ask a better question than what is little better than “why are republicans so great” like Fox does.

    That said, I long for the days (if they really existed before the 80s) of true investigative journalism and reporters of immense integrity without as much concern for ratings and profit.






  • Can’t we just accept that we are all human beings and likely are all flawed in some way and that even if you don’t see it, your partner is likely sacrificing and having to put up with your shit just like you have to put up with theirs.

    Such a great take. We will all give and take in a relationship, be there and need the other to be there. As soon as one starts feeling like they’re doing all the “put up with”, they need to take a step back, figure out what their needs are, and talk to their partner.

    And separately, a lot of people are just not emotionally intelligent. That’s harder to solve unfortunately.









  • I don’t, and I’m okay with it. I miss it, but I spend what free time I have with my wife.

    My former friend group that still plays a lot of video games took a different path. Some have no career progress, others have horrible marriages, and a couple are cheating scumbags.

    I like to think my wife and I made some good choices and we work to keep making them.
