So he got in a slapfight with forums posters about not paying people for writing articles and then wrote an article meant to satirize digital media companies for not paying their employees?

That's either some 4D satirical chess or a guy in a glass house warming up his throwing arm.

What a lying sack. And then of course he instabanned the one prior content creator who said he didn't get paid.
 
It's fascinating how SomethingAwful is Bernie HQ while ResetERA is Ridin' with Biden.

It makes Debate & Discussion quite the entertaining place to read through at the moment. Let's listen to some thematically appropriate music while we read together.

Goons are either overpaid IT types who are shit with money or people on government assistance/gig-economy workers/underemployed types who are shit with money.

The recent purchase thread in PYF is hilarious sometimes. Guys who are counting down the days to their next paycheck spending thousands on collectibles, shitty Patreon albums/artwork/other assorted garbage the minute they get paid.

The best was the "Can I sue CPS???" guy who had saved up $3000 for an epic gaymen rig, then got busted by CPS for the shithole condition of his hoarded up trailer with holes in the floor of JUST ONE room. I wonder what happened to that poor kid.

If I remember right, that guy actually did a follow-up thread where they had fixed their place up, and gotten their life together

I'm glad he namedropped 'simplycook', it is a British version of Blue Apron and has their recipes online. I grew up poor apparently because I thought beef stroganoff didn't need any fancy cuts of beef. Also, the recipe calls for 300 grams of meat, not 500.

Doesn‘t Blue Apron provide the meat, though? Otherwise what’s the point? You might as well just buy Hamburger Helper.
 
Here's a few caps to finish the "TGRS doesn't like their 'uppity,' 'poor cultural' black mod" QCS thread since it's now closed:


It seems some posters are now able to voice their disapproval of Barney/Cascade whatever and not catch a ban, since he fucked off to the off site.

And other posters (some trans) pointing out that all recent drama threads (past few months) about mods and forums in general seem to be coming from people that post in "that" TGRS thread who are "internet keyboard warriors." Good stuff.

Bonus:
Way earlier in this same QCS thread KM stopped by to shit post and run away. Don't think she ever came back.

The End

(side note: Fluffdaddy, the mod this thread was about, seemed to stick by his opinion that he doesn't give a shit if you're trans or whatever. It seems he's along the lines of: if you suck you get probed/banned, if you have a problem with that take it to QCS and bitch there, shut the fuck up about FYAD and offsites, and stop being morons and posting personal info on the forums. To be fair though, I think that's how it turned out? Every time he replied to whiners to defend/explain himself they tried to change their complaints to something else he did. So much fucking text walls from all sides I just didn't read any of them.)

Even if @Lowtax wasn't lying, who the fuck would want to work for free for 2 full months even if you do eventually get paid a whole $40/week.

It's fucking 2020 - even fast food joints will pay you during your training/interim period. It's such an incredibly bad stance to take to try and save 40 dollars. Lowtax makes nearly that much by licking a battery on his stream but somehow can't fathom the idea of hiring people outright or paying something that isn't unbelievable garbage.
