Steve poorly or never communicated what he thought were satisfactory resolutions to past comments or incidents and is upset that those resolutions didn’t happen.

Steve very clearly says he would be happy with being attributed in a pinned comment on the video in question. Linus agreed to do that, then… didn’t do that. Steve is justified in being upset with the lack of action here, he isn’t Linus’s dad, he shouldn’t have to ask more than once for such a simple request.

and is only escalating the situation further by softly threatening legal action

If someone with as much money as LMG threatens legal action against you, it’s prudent to lawyer up and prepare a case/countersuit.

while also hinting that they have way more evidence they are just conveniently leaving out

Because when you’re preparing a legal case, it’s generally a good idea to not give your opponents all the materials you’re building your case with.

despite their current evidence being mostly empty (specifically receipts 1 and 2)

How are those examples empty? They may not be very extreme examples, but they clearly illustrate the type of behavior GN is claiming LMG engages in.

None of this spat should have been public

I can agree with you there.

If I had to declare a winner so far, Steve is looking worse for wear

Lol you lost me again

Everyone looks worse and this should have been handled privately. Maybe LMG should appoint someone other than Linus to handle fellow media contacts, because it doesn’t seem like he’s the best for that job.

Motherfucker pulled me right back in lmao

At speed, it probably just goes through the median

That song is about a gambler’s desire for selfish self-preservation, not “having a backbone”

even the plagiarism email shows that GN appeared to be happy with the response, but now they’re acting like they never were.

LTT never made any corrections or proper attributions, like they said in the email (which is what GN was happy about - that LTT agreed they were due credit and said they’d give it to them). LTT never followed through so it’s pretty justifiable that GN’s initial feelings would sour.

Same. I feel like once Luke started taking more of a back seat content-wise and letting Linus get in front of the camera by himself more is when things started going downhill

Lemons and limes are definitely fruits in my culinary culture. What are they in yours, if not fruits?

The distraction is the people saying things like “it was just an awkward gesture”, “it’s just a Roman salute”, “it’s no big deal”, “why are we still talking about this”, etc.

It is absolutely not a distraction to acknowledge and bring attention to the fact that the most powerful nation on the planet is now being run by a fascist Nazi oligarch.

This is a big deal. The executive orders are also big deal, but those don’t diminish this one. If you don’t think there are enough posts about the executive orders, you’re free to create them.

I’m pretty sure I went to a UCC church as a kid and had a great time doing arts and crafts at “Sunday school” lol. I don’t remember learning a lick about religion, but I do remember the bomb-ass potlucks, and how our pastor was one of the coolest, kindest people I’ve ever met.

Lemons and limes were right there man, they were right there

Doubt it

Ehhhh, American Idol winners are famous for falling off the face of the earth (do you know any other winners offhand besides Carrie and Kelly?), so I don’t blame people for not knowing her from that.

I think it’s also a stretch to say she’s the most (or second most) popular female country singer. Country as a genre is becoming less and less popular, being replaced by pop/hip-hop/rap for young people. I feel like Carrie Underwood was most popular amongst the subset of elder millennials that still listened to country or who happened to catch her hits on pop radio, but Gen Xers and Boomers are probably more familiar with Reba McIntire, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, etc, and zoomers and Gen alpha are too busy listening to literally any other genre than country to know who any of those people are.

Lesbian too! So brave 🥹

Looks like a piece of thinly sliced radish to me

Eh, the richest and arguably most powerful man on the planet just did a Nazi salute, twice, on live TV. I think it’s understandable that some of our nerves are a bit frayed when it comes to sarcasm/jokes about the subject.

Catfish was making a last ditch effort to guilt anon back into talking to them

Huh? This analogy is wild. Deli slicers are a specialist, commercial-level piece of equipment. It’s basically the antithesis of everything a console strives for, other than the fact that it’s a unitasker.

It’s alcoholic custard

Isn’t that basically what eggnog is?

Did you respond to the wrong comment

K agree to disagree

Dawg you gotta be a troll if you think I’m “disconnected from the real world” just because I know that better specs is why the steam deck can handle modern games and the switch can’t. Also I said that we don’t know what the switch 2 will cost, and that I’d be surprised if it was that low. Don’t put words in my mouth.
