For those unaware, the joke is that Lucky is NOT set for life. His character was introduced as a literal dumb hillbilly who barely spends any money, so he and everyone around him THOUGHT he was set for life.
After he gets engaged to Luanne, the well starts to run dry. Lucky manages to win another $53,000 settlement (it was more like blackmail money) and follows Hank's advice to start living more sensibly, including using the new money as a down payment on a house and looking for a job.
RE: Technoblade being roleplayed by a YouTuber.
This is horrifying, and I do not see it ending well.
“I only answer to him” is an incredibly unfair position to put Technodad in. He is grieving, and any answer he gives carries major consequences.
If he says yes, it could encourage thousands of others to do the same, creating even more pressure to accept this as normal. If he says no, he is forced to publicly confront someone using his dead son’s identity. He should never have been put in that position.
And a future “rebrand” for the YouTuber would not fix this. If you build an audience by roleplaying a dead creator, then change your name once the backlash becomes too much, you still used that person’s identity, fame, and fanbase to grow your own platform. From the outside, it looks like an attempt to become a pseudo-replacement for the real Technoblade.
I knew Alex before he had an audience. He helped us during the early days of Hypixel, spent time talking with our team, and was simply a good human being. He was the only creator we ever held a ceremony for when giving out YouTube rank. I also made videos with him, something I rarely did over the past 15 years.
The week I learned that Technoblade passed away was also the week my first son was born. I remember holding my newborn and thinking about Alex (Technoblade), and telling my son that one of my friends had just died. That is how personal and painful this is for me.
So yes, I am upset and angry. Watching someone roleplay as our dead friend while showing so little regard for his family, friends, and legacy is deeply disturbing. The leaked chats make it even worse. I have seen more than has already been shared.
To me, this does not look like a tribute. It looks like exploitation. I can only imagine how the people closest to Alex are feeling right now.
Roblox is making it way harder to sell a 2D outfit tomorrow.
A year ago you could publish one for 10 Robux.
Now to actually sell an outfit you need:
>verified age
>parental permission if you're a minor
>a paid Plus or Premium subscription
>200 Robux to upload
>600 Robux to publish
So the price of entry went from 10 to 800 Robux
The cheapest way to make your first Roblox item is about to become a paywall.
You will then receive only 30% OF THE VALUE.
You need to sell about 534 shirts (5 Robux each) to break even on the new 800 Robux entry cost.
Roblox said they wouldn't remove 2D clothing, but they raised the upload fee so much that almost no one uploads it anymore.
This is messed up...
Hot take, but companies should actually be held responsible when they poison people with contaminated food.
If they've had multiple incidents, clearly they're playing it fast and loose with sanitation measures.
Redo-ing the tweet:
If YOU let your kid roam around a mall and they find their way into Spencers, this is not MINE nor THE MALL'S FAULT
We should not AGE GATE THE ENTIRE MALL BECAUSE YOU CAN'T KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR KID
Yes this is a metaphor for the current state of the internet
facebook misinformation is radicalising our parents and grandparents into being so blinded by hatred and bigotry that to them everything has to link to immigration no matter what
it’s worrying how obsessed they are with it
will i be flayed alive and thrown into a vat of salt if i said i lowkey miss this era of people just being cringe and free and joyous on the internet compared to now where everyone is a completely miserable fucking zombie trying too hard to look nonchalant
