The people running Asmon’s streaming cubicle need to come in and clean it up 😂
For the win...
What do you mean they come in to deposit more trash lmao
Pretty sure that's fake trash.
dw its not real trash, its just prop
It's just a set. It's all props.
Asmond lives in a mansion and is driven to work every day in a fresh lambo.
"I'm only 10k away from being a 7th level fan" sounds like how certain religions work 😆
Certain? Damn near ALL of them

Ah yes, Official Tier 7. or OT7 for short. Xx_L-R0n-H_xX is the biggest fan though, his account is OT9!
You know what else is a dystopian nightmare? Watching someone react to a video of someone reacting to another video
Yet we still watched
Dystopian inception
And yet you're here
@@brian197686 I was referring to ops comment
For good measure, I'm here reacting to your reaction about it...
It's weird that viewers feel they have some kind of personal connection with these streamers. The fact that it happens to Zack is really disturbing. I'll have to dm him some advice about it later, because I know he doesn't take care of himself mentally. Lol, sometimes I think I know him better than he knows himself.
That's some good satire thank you sir
perfect
Had us in the first half
Thats a good one, cheers
Lmao I love the sarcasm
I have a friend who lives in HK and was a livestreamer. She explained to me that most people who watched her was 27-45 year lonely man, who stays at home all day and the only interaction with human beings they have is with Her, livestreamer.
Edit: she stopped livestreaming becouse she was unhappy and had depresion. She did not have time for herself, as that time was spent thinking about what to do next in the livestreaming.
I livestream when I was younger because I was lonely and wanted friends. I thought being able to spend time with a community all day would make me feel less lonely and sad. As lovely as people were it didn't help. It's like because they're not with me in person it never truely satisfied the need. They know alot about me and felt close to me but I just feel isolated. There were also incidents of people who wanted more and got very angry I didn't give or understood.
😂
The sad thing is that that man believes he sent her $75,000. In actuality she would have only received a small portion of it. His money went straight into the company’s pockets 😬
As someone who has a damn good friend who works at 7-Eleven and as someone who has worked at 7-Eleven myself, be cool with the cashier and they will give you the donuts that they can't sell for free. We used to donate the donuts that didn't sell to a homeless shelter just down the road and the workers at the shelter were so cool to us we would also give them free fountain drinks.
Also, if you're in Emergency Services (fire fighter, police, ems, etc.), you get free fountain drinks and coffee. That's 7-Eleven policy.

@@mikedauglash3227 funny but God it's true! I know people who make 35k a year and are set up well for the future while there are people who complain about being in debt making 100k+ a year because they don't save their money.
Same in mcdonald's, at least in the uk if your police, ambulance or a firefighter you can get a coffee for free.
7-Eleven has surprisingly excellent coffee.
Bro that girl's agent deadass went up to her and told her she was not getting a day off in the following month.
Chinese work ethic really is wild.
"29 years old software engineer that dosent have a girlfriend." that hurts 😥
I think the craziest thing I have peeked behind the curtain of is Japanese idol culture. The agenceis quite literally treat their talents like walking bank accounts. Anything they do, or that happens to them even if its serious or personal, agencies will spin a story around it and make shit tons of money off one of their talents. The contracts they are manipulated to sign are pretty much just indentured servant contracts that pay well. Nothing they do, say, have happen will be private until the agencey determins someone more attractive can replace them. Its actually nuts.
Wait till you see what they do with Korean idols, ain't very healthy either. Maybe the problem is with the people running the idol agencies doesn't matter which country x).
It's worse than that by far. It's abusive.. sometimes.. worse. Asian Idol Culture is messed up and when I thought Japanese Idol Culture was pinnacle bad.. along came a window into Korean Idol Culture and it was even worse.
The new slavery. Now with a fancy bow and 10X more manipulation ;) lol
You think that crazy? Look at korean Idols, they are literally treated as toys.
I think our boy here Zack, can't grasp that the guys that fall into this BS don't have a real grasp on reality. Soooo, who is he yelling at? Projection is quite interesting.
Asmon, once he's 40: Has a company with 10000 girls running "live streams" and he gets a 10% cut from each of them. By 50 he'll be twice as rich as Bezos, now running a company that has 5 million AI girls live streaming. ;)
Dont forget those senior greeters at walmart were also having insurance policies taken out on them by walmart. They had learned the death rate among those greeters was high enough that they could profit off of their deaths.
Asmon saying he doesn't get burnt out was the biggest kappa of all time lol. Not saying he isn't justified but cmon bro, he takes frequent breaks
he is coping hard
Yeah, that's why he doesn't burn out. He takes breaks when he needs them and returns when he feels like it.
despite being a very very small streamer, about a year ago I had someone who was a regular and frequently donated start trying to look up my real name and identity via school exchange documents after I barely mentioned it in response to a harmless question. turned out they had been trying to find out things about me irl for months and the moment I found out and confronted them about it, I got a very ugly and disgusting conversation, which honestly made me feel very diminished and uncomfortable in the position of talking to people, on stream, in private and irl for weeks. I didn't hear again from them since.

Something about watching someone live has never sat well with me. Just seems creepy.
youtube vids-only gang ✊
I'd like to read why people like you find it creepy. For me, the creepy part comes in when people literally watch streamers for hours and hours on end and become a little bit obsessed and stuff like that. I listen to a lot of livestreams in the background while doing other stuff yes, but I mean the people that WATCH for hoooooooours...
@@omensoffate oh really? Then explain why I subbed to someone and never even watch them stream... That doesn't apply to everyone
@@Yambag How smooth brained are you? Vlogs and livestreams exist on TH-cam…
@@azrael8197 One could argue you’re obsessed with supporting them financially…
Industrial streaming is basically a low budget tv channel from early 2000s. Random, weird, non consistent
When Asmon talked about how Nickelodeon did things, it reminded me of the "relationship" between "Dake and Josh" and how later in life everyone was weirded out that Josh didn't invite Drake to his wedding saying "you betrayed him".
Dude... they were never friends, they were co-workers... Josh didn't invite Drake because he's not his "friend".
Drake made a fuzz online, Josh HAD to cave in to maintain his image with the fans... and a few months later the P allegations hit the news and Josh backpedaled his position real fast.
No one that does things to entertain you and capture your attention is %100 genuinely "your friend", not the live streamers, not the Hollywood actors, not the youtuber, not Markiplier.
You can argue that some artists care more about their audience than others, that some artists genuinely want to care about you, but due to the nature of his job it's nigh impossible to achieve... you're an amorphous blob of "people" that can't stand out from the crowd for more than 24 hours.
A streamer may really remember you, but he is just incapable of "caring" about you more than the relatively lose interaction trough the screen.
Hey! at least with this live streamers you can raise their awareness of you trough money hahahahahaha
I'd never slam some of these people, mostly men, who do this because while they may be good in business, they believe they're not good enough to have someone they think is beautiful love them.
That makes me sad.
Keeps has an algorithm that tells them what Asmongold is likely to watch and they sponsor those videos.
This is so prevalent in China because of the one child policy.
Because couples were only allowed to have one child, disproportionately more female fetuses were aborted than male. When it became illegal to check for a fetuses gender, many female babies were abandoned. Today, in China there is about 40 million more men than women.
China is patriarchal and misogyny is prevalent there. Women were raised as second class citizens, sometimes even as a burden that the family had to find a husband for and pay for the dowry. This changed when parents could only have one child. They had to put all their hopes and dreams on that child, regardless of the child's gender. The child would have to take care of their parents in their old age. So girls were all of sudden raised to have agency, to want more than just be house wives whose job was to obey their husbands. The problem is that the men were still raised according to their old traditions, so now in China there is a discrepancy between the expectations of men and women. More and more and in the work force, earning their own money and building their own career. Even though China has made it possible for parents now to have two children, many are still choosing to only have one or none.
Because of the male to female ratio in China, women are the ones with the choice. They don't need to settle. They get to choose someone who fits their lives.
"Dance for me monkey" comes to mind when I think of live streaming.
honestly some peoples best talents are just being hopelessly obedient and wanting to be ordered around and prettied up, and the agency route is a very tempting option for people in that field. there are definitely better ways to go about it if you can find them, but for some people it's genuinely a somewhat gratifying career path
I just like to listen to people talk. They can talk on stream, on a podcast, on a video or on the radio. Talking is interesting.
Well put.
It looks like Asmon still has a little bit of eyeliner on, and I'm here for it.
He definitely does. Trying to figure out if he had it on for a specific reason
@@SaosinComeClose look up Asmon Mizkif cosplay stream, they were on Emiru’s stream and she turned them into anime girls. I’m sorry in advance for what you’ll see lol
I don't think Asmon or Philion realize the differences between how things are between China and other parts of the world. That is why Apple had to build nets around the Foxconn manufacturing dormitories, the workers would get so stressed they would jump out the windows. Apple just paid to have the nets installed and still has 90% of all Iphones made on the Foxconn Campus.
The story about Sun Dan-Yong that started the whole thing was even crazier, he was beaten for losing company property then jumped from a window.
Yeah, his comment about them being 9-5 workers is so American its actually funny. Unless these girls are so outstanding that they manage to get an extremely good contract, their manager controls everything from what she eats to who she talks to and who shes going to do some "unspoken rules" with to in order to move up the food chain. Add to that extremely predatory terms around scandals or media coverage with huge fines and they're really not having an easy time.
@@arc00ta I deal with Chinese manufacturers a lot. It is getting to where you can't afford not to. 10 years ago Chinese items were 1/10 the quality of Western version at half the price, now same price but 7/10 the quality, some times the quality of work is on par.
I work in the Green Industry, and every time an environmental bill passes in the west more resources go to China, which is hilarious because of how much Coal power they go through for their factories.
It's amazing to me that there are people in the US that want that level of bullcrap here.
China is crazy. People get treated like slaves over there. When it comes to higher education, the government decides where you will work and study. It's freaking sad and terrifying at the same time in my opinion.
I feel very blessed to be born in the USA instead of China or any other country that holds China's values.
@@rivervaughanmusicstuff5771 the best saying pertaining to this was something along the lines of "the greatest trick the devil ever did was to convince people he didn't exist" and that's exactly what China has done. We had decades of red scare when it was Russia but people seem to have forgetting what a communist country is really like.
Asmon's community really despise Phillion and I really don't know why, his videos are good and the topics he covers are interesting.
I was wondering about all these comments...
Phillions content is good but he’s way to smug and he forces his opinions heavily a lot.
I don't watch his videos but he seems condescending.
@@TipsyFGC Well yeah that's the point of having a commentary channel, everyone with one of those will let out their opinions and jokes... That's how the channel gets a personality of its own. Otherwise it's some Chills-tier braindead boring "content" imo
Think people don't like him due to their perception of what they think he is.
Has nothing to do with the content or anything he's actually done.
Which...I guess is fine, but it's high key dumb af. But I get it. Some people are just hard to listen to. And he is just hard to listen to on an instinctual subconscious level for some people.
“They stage an office to look like a bedroom”….ya, you exactly explained cam girls…

"People want scarcity, they just want to have the things that are scarce." is some truly big brain shit.

But then, I would argue that it's not different in lot of other jobs. Enterprises min/max your work and replace you when you underperform. You get to feel like absolute shit while getting little pay compared to shit you had to go through. But if you complain, you get yeeted and someone else takes your spot.
I think it's contextualized a lot better when this type of culture is perpetuated by a country that has a 1 child policy and its gender population is mostly men. Loneliness is a becoming a disease and it really shows in our society of online communication.
The US also has a lot of Incels, it's more a capitalism thing.
8:26 interesting wording choice there. She "receives" 30-45k in donos but how much of that does she actually get after the agencies get their cut?
I'm not a huge fan of reacts content, but I do have to acknowledge the artistry and mastery with which you do it @Asmongold . I think if more creators applied what I can only describe as your guidelines or rule set, it wouldn't feel as tainted and lazy as it's become. Thoughtful commentary, real time engagement with your own viewers, honest assessment other creator(s) and source content (if multilayered), and not always taking the obviously popular position (or always taking the outrage position), elevate the style. IMO watching a fully produced TV show or Movie, and periodically adding a "This is shit!" isn't meaningful transformation or effort on the streamers part. So hats off for not being the latter.
There is also a unique aspect of Northeast Asian cultures not touched on here. Purity of women is much more important there than in Western cultures. A "sexy" woman in Northeast Asian cultures would be considered "cute" and "meek" by modern Western women's standards.
I wish he had more empathy for this lonely guys, desperate guys. They need help and they propably don't know they do. I mean that kind of parasocial relationship is propably really damaging for your mental health
Whales in games and rich simps online are the same to me. You are validating the existence of these services you are paying for, and enabling the cycle to continue.
I don't get the angle of making these girls seem exploited. They are voluntarily working for money, possibly loads of it. They're not minimum wage workers in a KFC.
The major cities in China have 37 million more men than women. It's truly a sad dystopia
When you comment to people not realising the fabrication, most 100% do, but if you deny something enough it eventually goes away for many. Denial is a strange thing.
Wow this Philion guy just never saw people sitting in a chair 12 hours straight with no soul inside. Telemarketing is far worse than this and he calls this min-maxing life? Touch grass mate
At least telemarketing develop some kind of skill while appearances which you depend on as a streamer fade over time and leaves you with nothing when your appearance is not good enough for streaming
@@Martin1jg I think that's why V-tubing is a thing. Projekt Melody could be 100 year sold and you wouldn't know that she's being played by a different, younger person.
somehow this situation reminded me of the movie "Her" with Joaquin Phoenix, where he develops a personal relationship
with a Smartphone female AI-Bot.
Balanced take:
TL;DR : Men? Stop it! Women? Stop it! Streamers? Stop it. Everyone have some self respect and stop throwing money at people just to get the illusion of emotional connections, and stop recieving money to maintain the illusion. Para social relationships are bad. Streaming and the internet might've been a mistake.
Lonely dudes trying to buy their way into relationships:
Stop it! Get help.
She's not actually into you, she doesn't know you, she doesn't love you.
Maybe she loves your money, but I almost certainly guarantee she doesn't have anywhere near as emotional investment in you as you do her. You may want to plow her, fair enough, but we both know that's highly unlikely at best. You're not going to get a relationship with her just by throwing money at her on stream. Stop simping! You're hurting yourself, and enabling scammers, pua's and other awful ideological bad actors to further exploit you, by telling you it's not your fault, and here'swhy all women are streetwalkers. Take some responsibility for yourself.
Streamers, especially of the tub/kiddie pool and selling fart jars and bathwater varieties:
I get it. It's free real estate.
These pay pig lonely bottom of the barrel beta bitches are throwing money into the street, everyone else is hoovering it up, why shouldn't you get the bag too?
If you're not doing it, someone else is, so why not get paid just for existing ? They want the illusion that they have a chance. They want to lie to themselves. They're consenting adults and no one's holding a pew pew to their head and forcing them to throw money at you.
Besides that you put the time and effort into keeping your body healthy and making yourself look attractive. Hell, maybe you're not even doing that, and they're still trying to throw money at you.
Desperate degenerate lonely men with more disposable income than sense seems to be increasingly common these days.
You do you, but are you happy with objectifying yourself ? Is making and maintaining para social relationships really what you want to do with your life? Are you comfortable with randos draining their bank accounts or blowing their inheritance on you not feel just a little weird and sad and creepy?
The longer both sides continue to repeat the behavior, the more ingrained it becomes socially, and the more it accelerates. Which causes more loneliness and deepens the divide between the sexes and increases the antagonism between them, which gives rise to more Andrew Tates, who exploit and accelerate and spread unproductive ideologies that further increase the divide and antipathy towards each other.
Are you kidding me? That's what you got from this Chinese propaganda video?
100% agree
How you gonna tldr longer than the actual vid?
@@elijaht3223 lmao🤣
Why did you write all this.
To be fair, just because it’s mens fault, doesn’t mean it’s not also womens fault. Both parties contributed in creating this situation.
We all need to think about how we contributed to this. I don’t pay livestreamers, and I don’t intend to, but I can see what kind of loneliness would drive someone to do it. They can’t meet people in real life and survive on fantasy. Rejection is one of the most powerful fears humans have.
That doesn’t mean it’s ok to exploit them, but there’s probably some desperation on part of the women as well. They’re selling themselves, a sort of digital prostitution. I can see why someone would do that, too. Doesn’t make it good or virtuous, not even evil, necessarily.
So what caused this situation to happen? That’s what we need to find out and stop.
I’m a barber and keeps and rogaine only work to keep your hair loss at a minimum and once you stop it’ll all fall out quickly. Very few people have any growth stimulated. If you were bald cause of stress it will grow back but if you are bald because of genetic only hair transplant can help you
"It's me, it's ya boy, zack" just doesn't roll as easy as " It's me, it's ya boy, ASMONGOLD"
that dude who gave away like 70k coulda got himself a nutritionist and a gym membership and coulda found himself some real girls instead of ONE from the internet. priorities bro....
@@Lewtable cultural or not going to the gym doesnt mean just body building. plenty of "gyms" offer alternative workouts like pilaters, yoga, cycling, or even just get on a treadmill of some sort. the whole point is, he could have had real interactions with actual women IRL instead of trying to bribe what he thinks is an online prostitue.
More revealing about China than about streamers
Dude this shit is the best! I listen to your content while working and I’m laughing out loud at this stuff. Love it
People unable to comprehend how China streaming can have almost twice as viewers as the population of the USA is funny XD Half the worlds population is practically in Asia and Asia Minor. The rest of the world is deserted in comparison.
Isn't every vtuber independent or in an agency just farming simps? Also, I'm pretty sure if you could read the minds of all ASMR/bathtub streamers, this is the exact info you get. Idk why Philion is acting like this is so unheard of.
This is the least appalling thing I’ve seen come out of china in regards to media and social control
That's a legit question tho: how the hell a fake book would be cheaper set dressing than actual books? Just buy old catalogs and encyclopedias, they're sold by the pound.
Wild guess...going really dystopian with my speculation here...but maybe they use fake books, because real books might could be read, theoretically, and said book might possibly say something the government doesn't like, or want their citizens to know about considering how censored their internet and media are.
Or maybe it's like someone's brother in law or who ever has a business selling fake books, so which ever manager's in charge of buying set pieces for the streamers that have to fill their fake bookshelves in their fake bedrooms with fake books makes sure to kick back to their brother in laws company or whatever, and is the only one they can get their fake books from.
My guess is the company just buys them in bulk so they cost almost nothing compared to their income. They have the advantage that since they are hollow they weight way less than real books which is useful for transportation, and they will be transported a lot if streamers only stay in business for a few months.
Only thing I learned from this vid is livestreaming isn't dystopian, China is dystopian.
Everyone is either the product or the customer Aware
Something exists.
US Military: Weaponize it!
China: Monetize it!
Normal People: I just wanna have fun...
Weird take that there's something wrong with appreciating someone without makeup on.
The most dystopian part of this whole thing, was the fucking sponsor section placed right after the heartbreaking part about how exhausted that poor girl is. Fucking shameless.
Audience: "Too loud, turn it down, make it quieter"
Don't you guys not have volume buttons?
17:58 some of these guys are in countries where porn is banned, some of these guys are in prison, some prisons allow inmates to have tablets. this is just what it is
This issue involves women too, the guys watching these get the idea of a perfect girl in their mind and it makes women who don't slather their faces in make up feel ugly. I cant wear makeup because the feeling of it on my face makes me panic I cant stand anything on my face so I've just had to get used to the fact that I'm not pretty at least not to guys my own age because the cam girls have placed the bar WAY too high. Id rather be alone than force myself into a life where I'm in a constant state of panic but not everyone is okay with being alone and it really tears them apart.
It's a business enterprise and it seems to be doing pretty well. The streamers get donations, and the business gets a cut. That's not what's dystopian- there are similar operations here in America. The difference is that in China, an employer can legally say "You didn't make enough money so you're not getting a day off this month" and it's final. That is what's horrible- the lack of worker rights. Sure, it happens in America sometimes, but it isn't legal. In China, you work the hours that your boss sets and you do whatever arbitrary crap they tell you or you're out of a job and may find yourself working in a sweatshop. THAT is dystopian- the ridiculous amount of power the supervisors have over their employees.
"They want you for one thing" yup, true...Hot sauce. lol Asmon needs to start sending us fans photos of him in Christmas sweaters as a Christmas gift🤣
When he get angry at the simps , I really get the feeling he's talking to himself.

@@jeremybolt8950 She literally got him a gift just a few days ago. Go check out his twitter for yourself if you wanna see. Anywho, hope you find success in whatever you're doing.
The only streamers I’ve grown to enjoy watching almost everyday is you and drdisrespect. I’ve never understood the simping side of streaming but I feel sorry for anyone who falls into the mindset of thinking more money = better chance they’ll fall for me. God bless their poor souls
Asmon, the absolute majority of people have to do things the don't want to do to survive and live.
I can think of much worse jobs than sitting in a cubicle and gaming all day long (without worrying about all the other little things a normal streamer has to do/deal with).
Do Asmon have a whole team that spread the filth around before he streams?
While I get the asmonds opinion of "take responsibility for your life" there are two ideas. The idea of of take responsibility and the idea that these people are mentally ill. Most people can resist temptation but these carefully crafted manipulation tactics are much harder to resist. Industry is moving more to abuse and psychoanalyze instead of providing quality. So I do think it is partially on the government and industry to limit the amount of scummy tactics they can use.
I wish a green screen dropped behind Asmon and he was in a warehouse lol
No in China the person gets 10% and the agency takes 90%
I wonder how much the one child policy, resulting in tens of millions of more young men than women, drive the success of this business.
A sad dragon lizard thingy once scolded me about parasocial relationships. "Was but your dream of Streamer, your soul had been corrupted by a deity of your own making, child"
That ad interrupting moment is the best part. Its soooo hilarious lol
This is no different from the customers that come in and try to act like we're best friends because I'm being nice to them. Like, I'm getting paid to be nice. One guy doubled down on his lack of social awareness that he at one point said that a stripper at a club "chose him" over anyone else in the club.
The disconnect is very real.
China: "Capitalism is evil" and simultaneously: "Strreaming is great. Let's make it into a money machine. We'll just use cute beautiful young girls to farm simps"
thinking about it, honestly after you get to a certain point in streaming, it's not different from this
streaming always been low quality content and waste of time. only money makes people do it and a broken society gives people reason to watch.
Anyone knows the name of the audio extension he uses? Looks pretty useful
Holy shit Asmongold went super saiyan with that rant on the simps.
Okay, for real, never in a million years would I have expected an Odyssey reference from Asmon. Dudes more well read than I expected. Props dude. Knew there was a reason I stuck around.
He's alot smarter and well read than people give him credit for.
Like alot more.

@@administrator4728 yeah, it's disappointing too. I only read then recently and thought how amazing these stories are, far more engaging than most of the crap I read lol
They really seem like geishas the way they train them and manage them.
There are actually a lot of successful male streamers. One type profits off of women, the other profits off men. The former has a fanbase demographic similar to Kpop or Western Minecrafters. Mainly moneyless young women, a couple older women whales, some married some not. And of course, also rich women who are trying to get into an exclusive romantic relationship with the streamer, those are the crazy ones.
For the latter, they create a large community of men to fulfill their fantasy of being a hero or part of a "gang". These are the only two that I've been a part of.
I mean... What if the constant Keeps ads are a sign.... what if you are the chosen one to experience the heights of what the product can do......
Don't forget 996, 9am to 9pm 6 days a week.
Not dead inside; vacuous, which I am pretty sure extends past the work.
We've al had friends online and we consider them a real friend.
This is what the older generation is not getting.
someone needs to start asking all these cubical strimmers to read their favorite part of the books behind them
Anybody here read Lookism? Yeah, this is literally just the 4th affiliate
You're right about those chinese streaming companies. But i'm pretty sure the company doesn't just take a percentile of the imcone, but like a normal job, the company takes everything and the "streamer" get a fixed income, which gets higher if she get more donations. But it's a tiny amount of the donations made.
I get Asmond's point. He is correct that one should not blame another for being dumb with spending money, but I disagree that I should not condemn such an indistry and feel empathy for its victims.
I would never blame victims of a cult, there are always factors I can't know. This seems comparable to me.
Well , I think some people are so obsessed to money that it seems like they just locked their minds to just think about money
The first name thing is really true. You don't know "mike", you know their character - Which is FINE, so long as you don't delude yourself into thinking that "mike's character" is ANYTHING like "mike".
I have to say, the documentary is not an accurate depiction of the livestreaming business in China, not only is the video outdated (everything in China changes at lightning speed compared to the US), not a single popular live stream platform was represented in the video, basically like talking about current social media problems in the US by examining myspace. FYI, thousands of viewers for a live stream in China is considered the lowest of the lowest viewing number, whatever platforms appeared in the video is definitely unpopular and not heavily regulated, leaning more towards "Chaturbate" than "twitch" platform-wise
I don't watch streamers. I just watch TH-cam when I need info. Streaming thing that's going on is just stupid. But I don't engage. The more I watch the more he kinda doesn't know what he's talking about
does somebody know the "extention app" asmon uses to lower/up the volume ?
I think Rogaine/Keeps (basically the same thing) have a quite high chance of causing impotence.
yeah people were doing the same stupid shit for all eternity -
but we are getting too efficient at it for our own good
I love how he juxtaposes the "Just buy her onlyfans" with "quit being a loser". Classic!
This feels like something out of a sci-if movie where people are being treated like property, like in Soylent Green how the women in the movie are literally referred to as “furniture”.
45:00 as another 7-11 employee, I can confirm.
