USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
I almost agree. My friends and wife are all much more casual than me, but when we play pubs it’s teams of unreal or kids with PR. I just wanna have casual pub with my friends. Work around has been playing ranked but that will only work for so long. Items and movement are absolute bangers though.
@AnnaRMatson I just don’t understand peoples hate. Sickest and fattest nation. But this HHS secretary is “unqualified” but we didn’t just magically become those things when RFK got appointed 😓.
Echo chamber will be the death of America. Thanks for always making great videos 🙌🏻🙌🏻
@SecKennedy@TheoVon Was a great podcast. Excited to see you keep taking down big pharma and MAHA. Sucks to see people with partisan brain turn against an environmental democrat that’s fought against pollution and evil corporations…. But also never gonna see a toilet seat the same lmao
@DeepNotShallow A @RoKhanna /@RepThomasMassie ticket would be able to heal this country and win so easily. Two great people with integrity and a hope of fixing our democracy and killing all the hateful partisanship.
Historically, brands like Bluey, Paw Patrol, and Peppa Pig passed through Kidscreen during their early scaling phase while the industry was deciding to bet on them. Being invited into that room means @Claynosaurz is no longer being viewed as “just a digital-native success,” but recognized as a brand with the potential to scale across games, products, and media and evaluated in the same franchise-building conversations as the next generation of global IP.
If you look at how global kids properties actually formed, there’s a phase where the brand isn’t huge yet but it keeps being pulled, repeatedly, into the right rooms. And Claynos is starting to get familiar in those rooms.
That’s the phase Claynosaurz is entering now. ❤️
feels right.
@JerichoXVI@mtgreenee I keep trying to explain this to people since it’s a very common thing to happen for older Fortnite accounts. Ofc maybe it is true but also it happens a LOT. Know lots of people who lost their epic accounts
While of course this is VERY possible. For people who don’t know Fortnite this probably seems pretty open/shut dudes alive and playing Fortnite. However as someone who plays this way to much it’s not. Unfortunately hacking of older accounts like his is very very common.
Search reddit or talk to anyone who has played for a long time. People hack and steal old accounts all the time. I’ve had seen it happen with some of my oldest irl friends. I would see “them” online after them not playing for YEARS and then next time we’re on the phone I ask them why didn’t you tell me you were playing again. Only for them to find out that somebody stole their account since it was old and had exclusive skins from the original seasons. And then they would go through the process of getting their accounts back through epic support.
So while I do think it plausible, I hope people unfamiliar with Fortnite realize this isn’t so black/white and it’s also very likely it’s just someone stealing an older Fortnite account for the exclusive OG skins

🚨 BREAKING - There are reports of Epstein's Fortnite account active in Israel , the username "littlestjeff1" that is in recently released Epstein Files , where the account bought $25.95 V-Bucks on May 7, 2019
The account is infact linked to Jeffrey Epstein himself through receipts ,in the recently unsealed Epstein files. These documents include a YouTube subscription receipt (e.g., for UFC Select) addressed directly to "littlestjeff1," confirming it as his username there.
People online matched this exact username to a Fortnite profile on Fortnite Tracker (https://t.co/Zc3ON5oJww), which showed stats like Silver 1 rank in Chapter 5 Season 1 (post-2019), wins into 2025, and past activity flagged in Israel.cd79946dcf907dc2a8 .
Seems like he immediately started playing fortnite. Fortnite Chapter 1, Season 10 ran from August 1, 2019, to October 13, 2019, The profile went private shortly after going viral, which aligns with recent X discussions.
Even though its not officially confirmed , I believe people are on to something.

Personally like the 3v3 mode much more.
5v5 is to much to “COD team deathmatch” The 3v3 fights and interactions feel a lot more meaningful when it’s less. Also more tactical for sure like you said. I like highguard a lot because it’s different 5v5
Makes it more like other games.
I could maybe see a 4v4 feeling perfect but like I said 3v3 already feels great to me.
Game felt a lot better than last week so that’s exciting too.
