AMDrones are committing mass suicide for falling for the Ryzen meme.



REMINDER: Never trust a company that continuously lies about their upcoming product as being competing with the top (Video cards with Nvidia, CPUs with Intel), then fails and backpedals claiming their product is about "Price performance". Ryzen is a fucking joke, we got the same performance five years ago and with less power consumption, this would be an insult if it wasn't so funny.

Commencing AMDcuck meme dump:

The thing that pisses me off about people picky about Dubs is their fucking excuses for liking shitty dubs. Asuka sounds fucking terrible in English Eva, end of discussion. Tiffany Grant is a terrible fucking Asuka, yet Sub purists will still defend her and their reasoning being: "She's a fan of the show!" this should be plainly obvious but being a fan of a show you're VAing doesn't automatically mean you're gonna be good at it. Under this logic, I missed my calling as a English VA for Darker Than Black and Spice & Wolf.

Not flagging them is faster until you get the deaded 50/50 scenarios where you spend a lot of time going over the surrounding area so the math adds up to one of the outcomes you're picturing.

Turk, you are not antagonizing, Cindy is antagonizing, Dazarobbo was antagonizing, Verb tries to be antagonizing (but he's grown on me shockingly). I'm sorry if I came off as flamey but I fundamentally don't think it's fair that Felix should be punished for the actions of people that do the same thing he does, even if that may not be the intent of those individuals.

Felix is still making millions of dollars off Youtube, he doesn't care too much, but what frightens me is the possibility of this happening to someone that makes end meat off doing this. It's the potential damage that's worrying.

Do you believe that feelings from obtaining a hard earned goal does not equate to happiness?

So what do you want to know?

"No" means nothing to an Ian.

I'm just curious. Happiness is an incredibly subjective view that can encompass a lot of of other emotions and feelings.

Does my answer matter to you?

3168
But they're not mutually exclusive? Can I not be satisfied while happy at the same time?

No, happiness is when a child gets something he desires, or when he's playing around without a care in the world.

You can be quite serene and emotionless while be content, and fulfilled.

3169
The accomplishment from that is happiness though.

Normies tell you that no matter what you should be happy in life. Live, laugh, love. I say fuck that. Contentedness, fulfillment, and glory are good enough prizes to pay for with suffering.

Because it's vital fuel to a fire. There is nothing wrong with making politically incorrect jokes, you see it everywhere. You see it in comics, you see it on TV, you see your friends making them, the only people who aren't allowed to make those jokes are politicians, Felix isn't a politician though, he's a guy who makes funny videos on the internet, he has absolutely every right to make politically incorrect jokes and make money off it.

Silencing Felix is setting a precedent that certain jokes can't be made, which is absolute bullshit; it's thought policing. The WSJ may not have any ill will in bringing him down (I don't believe that, but just maybe) but it gives the idiots like in the video I posted in the OP justification to start a censorship war. It's not only hypocritical because "It's only okay when X people do it" but it can turn into not even having to be offensive, it can be something that one simple doesn't like.

"PDP still doesn't get it" "The limits of Lol JK" one can not deny that the media is trying push a narrative that he believed this and try to defended himself with a "It's just a prank bro" when that is not the case. It was a REAL joke and they're trying to say "Well I didn't find it funny so it must be sincere" which is completely unfair. Is the person making the joke not allowed to defend the context? Just because a good number of people say they didn't find it funny doesn't mean it's still not a joke (especially considering a exponential amount of other people did find it funny).

He is a comedian that has been doing this for years, it's completely ludicrous to say him making a racial joke like this would be anything other than that. "Some people will agree with it!" So fucking what? We have been making jokes about Nazis since the war ended, it does more of a disservice to those beliefs than it does strengthen them, because everyone knows it's a joke as is Nazism. And that's such a weak argument anyways, that just mean every comedian that makes racial jokes are bad because some people will agree with those jokes as well.

Ian, why are you so heated over this topic?

The WSJ is pretty even-handed. They did a thorough job and covered the story well. The consequences of that are Felix's responsibility. You keep accusing the WSJ of being out to get him, but there's really no compelling evidence of that. They just reported the dumb prank of a public figure, as is their job. They even followed up with an article detailing his explanation of the supposedly non-contextualized imagery.

No compelling evidence? The fact that they don't attack other channels for similar jokes, the fact that they stay quiet about making their own jokes? The fact that their influence is shrinking incredibly and are now dwarfed by him in terms of money and power? Felix could buy the fucking WSJ if he wanted to, but that's a failing company so there's no point. To say that the WSJ has no ulterior motive to go after him is silly considering the writing is on the walls.

No, like an actual source which evinces the claim.

The person in the center of everything who has not done anything shady during his entire career and admits to his own wrong doing isn't good enough?

...Is it not okay to make jokes about black people?

When that same individual gets people released for the same reason and then refuses to comment on their own? It's incredibly dishonest.

Quote
Any source for the claim that they asked Disney to comment prior to asking Felix? Not that you've responded to any of my requests for sources of your accusations, nor that it even really matters.

How about Felix himself?

yet it's a "legitimate" joke to make a comment on throwing Jews in a frying pan.
When did this ever happen?
Quote
-One about Jews being adept at frying, after going to a Chanukkah party. Jews serve lots of fried food during that holiday to symbolize holy oil. It's not a anti-semitic joke, just a mildly humorous observation about Jewish customs.

Oh fucking please, as if I'm going to believe that when he says making jokes about black people is okay.

held to a higher standard
Higher standard than whom? You keep framing it like the WSJ was out to get him. They reported a few paragraphs on the prank, and he repeatedly refused to comment. If you agree that the joke was stupid and childish, and that his apology was insincere and infantile, then I don't even know what you're arguing about. Go watch hbomberguy's video.#Invalid YouTube Link#

Everyone else? They cherry picked parts of videos out of context and sent them to Disney BEFORE going to him for comment. There was absolutely no reason for them to do so. What could they have possibly gained from doing this other than making a clickbait article behind two paywalls? They went after him because they have waning money and power and they wanted to bring down someone above them.

We're condemning the fact that Felix is supposedly held to a higher standard despite the fact that his content is pure shitposting. You're the one who said in the other thread that Felix's apology and claim about his own JOKE (and only an absolute idiot would think it wasn't a joke) is half-assed. I guess third time's the charm on apologizing? He can say he's sorry and still show the bullshit stacking against him.

And what reason does the WSJ have to bring up PDP's behavior a month after he posted that video? They were clearly after him, there's no other reason to bring it up. Also it's incredibly asinine to say Felix's joke can be taken at face value because it's "poor" yet it's a "legitimate" joke to make a comment on throwing Jews in a frying pan. That's a complete crock of shit; Felix's videos have been nothing but shit posts for almost a year now, anyone who is claiming his joke could be taken as serious is either incredibly stupid or is completely dishonest.

I'm not being hypocritical, it's perfectly okay to make racial jokes, they're fucking funny. But if you're going to make racial jokes, you shouldn't go out of your way to get someone in trouble for also doing it.

It's incredibly hypocritical that you and the people trying to defend PDP (who has stated several times that it was offensive and wrong) by inflating other examples of offensive humor by public figures -- ya know, the same thing you're condemning?
