@Grenade123 I have a FB that I use for about 5 minutes a week, if that. I have a cell with that is about 8 years old, no numbers in it and is only turned on once in the morning every other day, if that. I don't take it outside with me.

2018-05-17 14:36:41 UTC  

I havent used facebook since highschool. I'm graduating college this year

2018-05-17 14:38:16 UTC  

i don't even use facebook and haven't in like 3-4 years. Although for work i kinda need a cellphone on me 24/7 so must be nice to not need to

2018-05-17 14:49:23 UTC  

Guess Ill work hard and get that raise first, thats 1 days wage on my probation

2018-05-17 14:51:41 UTC  

I think it's one or the other. I need to talk to some ppl and they don't want to have to open up an email just to say hi. It is nice not having a phone. Ppl knowing that if I don't answer them right away it's not coz something has happened to me. And I have a good excuse for not getting in contact with ppl when I can't be arsed. ; p

2018-05-17 14:54:36 UTC  

but see, i still do that anyway and people just know by. Hell, my sister doesn't bother texting or messaging me. She texts my gf instead lmao.

2018-05-17 14:59:07 UTC  

been there.

2018-05-17 15:15:35 UTC  

anyone know about any data collection scandal involving the onePlus company that makes cellphones?

2018-05-17 15:16:04 UTC  

this mentiones there is a scandal like that, but its the first i heard about it

2018-05-17 15:16:12 UTC  

and i have a onePlus

2018-05-17 15:20:10 UTC  

I didnt use facebook from 2012 until the end of the 2017 election

2018-05-17 15:20:14 UTC  

the meltdown was too good to ignore

2018-05-17 15:21:03 UTC  

I have a Facebook account, but it's only to keep tabs on relatives.

2018-05-17 15:24:13 UTC  

appearently onePlus said they only collect data to improve its user experience

2018-05-17 15:24:40 UTC  

regardless, there is an option in the advanced settings where you can turn the user experience program off

2018-05-17 15:25:18 UTC  

there is still the question of wether or not that actually does anything though

2018-05-17 15:25:29 UTC  

i would need someone more tech savy to check

2018-05-17 15:48:23 UTC  

I am just going to put this here. Tim, I heard you were going some research on gamergate and thought you might like what one of the current iterations is. This happened last week in the gamer universe. http://monsterhunternation.com/2018/05/15/statement-concerning-my-being-disinvited-as-the-guest-of-honor-for-origins-game-fair in addition there’s lots of other brilliant blog work about this, from http://www.declanfinn.com/2018/05/correia-was-ringoed.html to https://madgeniusclub.com/2018/05/15/it-is-time-to-fight-back/

If every sub gave me 1$ per month Id be able to start a news organization

2018-05-17 16:39:02 UTC  

if every twitter follower and sub Id be able to start TWO news organizations, how bout that!

2018-05-17 16:48:09 UTC  

Is that accounting for twitter follower subscriber crossover?

2018-05-17 16:58:12 UTC  

go pester Peter Thiel. he'll probably fund you.

2018-05-17 17:11:52 UTC  

You could hire Vernaculis for concise armor penetrating journalism

2018-05-17 17:12:55 UTC  

he'd probably get killed by fulfilling his dream of live covering news in syria or yemen or something though

2018-05-17 17:41:12 UTC  

he can just go tehre

2018-05-17 17:41:14 UTC  

its not hard

2018-05-17 17:57:51 UTC  

>If every sub gave me 1$ per month
That's very wishful thinking, subbing and following is free. Not to mention that 1$ a month is a lot of money for some countries.

2018-05-17 17:58:29 UTC  

and btw, I think you should stop pushing your patreon at the start of the video. It's like asking to sub or like something before you get to the content

2018-05-17 17:58:42 UTC  

if every sub just gave $1m per month....

2018-05-17 17:59:47 UTC  

maybe you could gofundme specific stories?

2018-05-17 18:00:18 UTC  

In my country, 500$ would be enough to live. I wouldn't assume a guy with 500 subs should do youtube for a living =p

2018-05-17 18:00:30 UTC  

how was farmland funded? patreon? or a kickstarter or something?

2018-05-17 18:19:43 UTC  

maybe tim should go live in a cheaper country?...

2018-05-17 18:21:10 UTC  

google: "Lets do no evil"
random person: "But, addiction and manipulation is generally considered evil"
google: "Lets also re-write the definition of evil"

2018-05-17 19:13:03 UTC  

Patreon type, (but not patreon) got her there, but there was also a crowd fund that was surprisingly good @wacka

2018-05-17 19:13:51 UTC  

is it out yet?

2018-05-17 19:14:38 UTC  

Nope, but every time we push her she says the release date is closer and closer

2018-05-17 19:15:00 UTC  

Another company is editing it, so it's out of her hands
