The Reckless Ben and Bricks and Minifigs controversy is unreal.
Highlights:
-YouTuber inherits $200k worth of Legos from Father
-CEO of B&M Ammon McNeff buys retailer, steals Legos
-RB Requests Legos, CEO refuses, sells them instead
-RB Sues and WINS but CEO refuses to pay
-RB travels to Utah to serve the CEO Papers
-Cops show up, arrest RB, accuse him of "stealing legos" (and drugs)
-He is swatted at one point, nothing found (he didn't steal they did)
-RB is held against his will for multiple days
-RB by a stroke of LUCK, convinces judge to release him
-RB is unable to serve papers and FLEES to Mexico
-RB is now fighting to expose a MASSIVE Mormon Conspiracy of INSANE proportions (hundreds of millions) and fraud that you would not believe
(not to mention police corruption and a MORMON MAFIA)
-the CEO is risking a $400 million company/millions in damages just so he can steal $200k Legos
-Utah gets exposed as Mormon Israel.
This is the most insane case of blatant corruption, actual Mafia's and a genuine SOCIOPATH CEO (one for the medical books) I have ever seen, be advised folks, I 100% Stand With Ben and will likely investigate myself... absolutely historical/diabolical.
It should go without saying, but if you are a Lego collector, trader, or parent/buyer...
Do not EVER do business with the store "Bricks & Minifigs." These are known thieves who stole a dying old man's collection that he worked his entire life to build.
They're also in a weird Mormon cult and like to weaponize police/swat people who try to serve them legal court documents.
Dangerous, dirty, corrupt rats who don't deserve a cent. Spread the word, tell your friends family and neighbors. It is incredibly important to rid the country of a company filled with religious cultist rats who couldn't honor a deal and simply give a man his Legos back.
it's ok to like what you want to like and love what you want to love
don't let the internet bully you out of expressing your enjoyment, this place isn't real and is filled with people who want to steal your joy
Every game launch becoming a culture war is so lame.
It’s just a bunch of fake gamers stirring outrage to prove things are "woke" or “anti-woke” when in reality they’re just fucking video games
It’s really fine for people to like different games than you. You have become the exact thing you hated the most by forcing political discussion around every game
My last post on Mixtape:
This game isn't one you're supposed to stream to people. It's one you enjoy by yourself and reflect on life.
There's no agenda. There's no politics. There's not even really gameplay, but that's okay.
There's just being able to look back at the moments you grew up with.
That's why its so good.
We live in a world where people are performative. Where everything we do is judged and reposted, liked, shared... This game brought me back to the times where I spent 30 minutes setting my AIM away message. When me and my friends would wander streets away from our house until I heard my dad whistle. When I wandered out with my buddies in some parking lot to smoke clove cigarettes because we thought that was cool.
If you don't want to spend a couple hours by yourself with your own thoughts thinking about the moments that made you who you are... fine.
But Mixtape was deliberately made not to make you nostalgic for the 90s, but make you nostalgic for that moment in your life that took place around then.
Maybe you were a bit older, maybe you were a bit younger, but the people who grew up between the 80s and early 00s lived in such a unique cross section of technology and humanity. We could disappear for hours and then come back and play WoW with people all over the world.
That's what Mixtape does so well. Everyone has moments in their life that they should reflect on. If you choose not to, it's your loss.
Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is 👇
They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day.
A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence.
No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible.
When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside.
700,000 animals are already wearing them.
They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it.
Now read the technology again without the word cow..
24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days.
$2 billion. And guess who led the investment…
Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military.
His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that.
They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test…
Most people have no idea what’s coming…
Kobe Bryant hasn’t spoken in six years. He can’t defend himself. He can’t fire back. And maybe that’s why they picked now to talk.
Jeremy Lin and Dwight Howard... Two guys who couldn’t survive one season next to Kobe. Sitting on a podcast. Telling you about leadership.
