I assume one of the Billet folk must have shit in his cornflakes or turned down a sponsorship request or something along those lines.
I might be spreading misinformation but I’ve seen it mentioned by multiple sources so I’ll take a lesson from LTT, Linus invests in a company that makes gpu waterblocks.
I looked it up and think I found what they were talking about. It appears they are 57th out of 127 at just over 70 million barrels annually (if I’m reading this correctly) with the number 1 spot taken by the US at nearly 15 billion. I think I agree with the other response you got, just a bad faith comment trying to shit talk a country they don’t like.
According to Billet themselves, they heard nothing about compensation or payback until about 3 hours after the original GN video went live… Which Billet hadnt even replied to before Linus made his post saying they’ve already made the deal on compensation.
It becomes especially enraging when you put it into context. Servicemembers volunteer to serve on active duty and as a result cannot dictate what state they live in. This is a way for the military to say “it’s okay to join because we’ll take care of our own if you’re forced to live somewhere that doesn’t help you.” Now this dude is trying to take away another recruiting tool and hurting his own cause of getting more trigger pullers.

If you think millions of girls in the US are impacted by trans people you’ve bought more propaganda you think. Much closer to dozens than millions but probably more accurately hundreds. I’m more inclined to protect the girls who would become suicidal because they’re being told they don’t belong in public but you do you.
I know what you meant and there aren’t millions of cis girls impacted by trans girls. That number is a massive inflation to make the impact seem more worrisome. It’s called fear mongering.

The bodycam pc for my local sheriff’s office is an area accessable to anyone who can get past the lobby and the password is one of the top 3 “never use” passwords. The problem is much deeper in many locations.

Nah Americans are crying about it and terrified it’s going to happen here. They’re cool with black people getting brutalized but now they’re worried their homophobia (not saying the girl was homophobic) is going to get them beat up. Kind of poetic.

Density is extremely important. The town I live in is a small town even though it has a high population, according to the person you responded to. But the way it’s spread out there isn’t anything near a small city culture. And we’re much too far from actual cities to be suburbs. Voter turnout is probably the biggest issue here.
