Episode 236 - Take a Number

from Here's What I Don't Get · host Here's What I Don't Get

Check out the Video Episode! We here at HWIDG would like to elaborate on some of the findings in our ILLEGALLY hacked and released emails this week. First, Tab would like to apologize for the underwhelming amount of gun and ammo purchase receipts, but in his defense, they were made up in number by just pounds and pounds of meat. Secondly Tim would like to say that the only reason the daily "Please release Rhinestone in 4K UHD Blu-Ray" emails he sent to Bob Iger stopped were due to threat from Mr. Iger himself to "burn the master negatives of that honky-tonk piece of crap unless you stop contacting me". We would also like to take this moment to preemptively leak this week's episode contents:- Department of Public Safety- Amazon Sidewalk- Massacres- Lazy Twitch StreamersThe Department of Public Safety? More like the Department of waiting all day to pay a ridiculous fee to arbitrarily keep my privilege to travel.Villains in real life aren't moustache-twirling, top hat-wearing bozos that scream "I'll get you someday, Superman!" No, in real life they tend to hide under the guise of "just your average multi-billionaire philanthropist" or "glorious leader doing the best for my country". And that's the key, is that they present themselves as doing the public a service for their own good. So when Amazon says they're going to have a camera installed in every room of your house by 2025 so they can keep you safe from danger, Johnny Everyman says "Thanks, Amazon!".What exactly defines a massacre? What do you imagine when the word comes into your mind? People tied up in lines, wearing hooded bags, waiting to be executed? Machetes hacking up sleeping innocents? Well, I'll tell you this much, it's a lot worse than a riot. 10/10 people would agree that "massacre" implies worse things than "riot" does. If some damning new evidence came to light that changed how we saw an event, I'd say a name change would be in order. Just changing an event's name to make it sound worse than it was? Hm.....Video games are meant to be fun. Can you have fun playing a game with someone telling you where to go and how to play the whole time? I don't think so. So when a streamer doesn't bother to look in the settings or skips through the tutorial just to have their chat do all the work for them, it makes for a bad time. I barely want to see someone else play a video game in the first place, so if you're only barely playing the game and not being interesting in another way, what's the point?All this and more on this week's episode!
