Fake, cheap, and plastic with a huge price tag. What a perfect representation of the United States.

Would he have said anything at all or apologized if he wasn’t called out? I doubt it.

Agreed but on the other hand, his recklessness has brought a lot of awareness to the whole thing including a go fund me that is about to hit $500k. As long as Ben holds up his end of the bargain and pays the family, his antics will 100% be worth it for the family.

It’s way easier to ignore all the static and just watch the Reckless Ben videos yourself. Even if you don’t know the law as well as like Legal Beagle or somebody you can see there’s a lot of things morally wrong happening regardless of the law. Then there’s the police corruption. Also obvious abuse of the court system.

That moment when you realize you used the word crazy way too much in your rant… Crazy

Man I have been following this crazy shit even though I don’t even care about Legos. Crazy how this one YouTuber just wanted to make some content and managed to blow this whole thing wide open! It just keeps getting worse for them!

Like at what point does the corporation just decide they are going to give the Legos back or pay for them because it’s the right thing to do? Even without Ben getting involved with his crazy antics, corporate should have looked at the situation and told the new owner to pay for the inventory he inherited to the customer or give them back because it’s bad PR if they don’t. You’re building a brand on trust. How do you gain trust? By paying people what you say you’ll pay them no matter what happens on your side! I guarantee there are some huge collectors out there paying close attention to this situation that will never trust BAM now.

$200k on consignment is absolutely crazy to begin with though! I’d never trust my families entire life saving to a few page contract with obvious loopholes

I’m convinced that Israel had something to do with it. He didn’t get in line when the rest of the clowns fell into place. Then his handler aka his wife tried to convince him to get with the program, he refused. Fighting ensued, they were going through marital problems at the time (text message evidence).

Then whatta you know, his now widowed wife takes over his business, goes on tour with fake ass tears (videos of her dropping them in before going on stage), and brings in none other than her ex boyfriend to run Toilet Paper USA with her…

I just got a car that shuts off when stopped. I hate it. Especially when you stop at a stop sign for a second too long and it shuts off then you hit the gas and it hesitates because it has to literally start the engine before moving.

Bitcoin is still to damn expensive for me…

It’s competitive out there for hardcore gamers and Microsoft is losing. The ones who are buying on a massive scale are their demographic (obviously).

I personally kept gamepass through the price hikes because it’s the only thing I pay for gaming wise. They don’t make much off of me. I pay the monthly fee, play the free games, and occasionally buy a game that’s like 80% off. I will buy games on day 1 but they are usually huge releases like GTA6 or Fable… Games that come out once a generation or longer.

We’ve all been there. Talked ourselves out of boobies and gotta try and salvage the situation.

And for what? A cold ass burger that’s super small and tastes different?

I totally get that! When I visited the most was when they had the dollar menu and I honestly used it to survive back then. These days it’s the app and only sometimes but same thing.

You couldn’t beat $3.75 for 2 sandwiches and a small fry when I had $20 to my name that had to somehow last me the work week!

I’m doing my part helping put McDonald’s out of business. They aren’t cheap anymore and somehow the quality has gotten worse. I went from going once a week many years back to once a month then a few times a year to never. Every time I go I’m disappointed.

I have heard of taking mushrooms for various things. I’m into some supplements but not like, bio hacker level or anything. I heard you gotta watch out for toxicity in those mushroom capsules / powders and they can fuck with your brain in some people? I don’t know a ton about it so do your own research but it was enough info for me to never add them to my “stack”.

I did it the hard way. Job hopping! I’m in IT without a degree (I have certs now but didn’t when I started). I have years of experience because I took entry level positions but had gaps in my knowledge due to not having a formal education. I started finding jobs that I had 80% of the know how from previous employers specifically. The pay would always be low for what I was doing, but it was a trade off since I had things to learn. I had to look for companies that weren’t willing to pay top dollar for IT so they’d be willing to ignore my lack of experience on some things.

After landing the job, I’d focus on that 20% specifically for resume bullet points. After 1 year (very important to stay for at least 1 year!), I’d evaluate. Sometimes I’d jump ship taking along with me any references, promotions (job titles are important folks), and certs I could along the way. Sometimes I’d stay longer than a year depending on what was happening. The pay was never right so I knew I wasn’t going to stay.

Most of these places were small to medium sized, toxic, unprofessional, and had high attrition rates.

After years of that, I started landing positions mostly based on the network I built of professional references. I have professional friends that help me out that are higher up on the latter and I have ones that I help / bring up with me that are below me on the latter.

Being honest, this was not the easy way by far and I don’t even know if you could still do what I did.

Today though, I have steady employment working for a large organization. My pay is good but not great. I’m not rich but I can make rent and have some left over for savings working only 40 hours a week. Really that’s all I ever wanted! I’m still working on my career but I’m happy I don’t have to do it while killing myself to not starve anymore!

Anybody upset about this needs to be upset with their employer. If you need to work over 12 hours a day everyday you’re being severely underpaid. Saying this as a guy that used to do it to survive. My boss would praise me and tell people everyone needed to be more like me while knowing damn well why I was doing what I was doing. Tried to be the empathetic hand while completely exploiting me.

I completely agree. One things for certain, if there’s another COVID, the US will not shut down and send everyone to work from home. They are still dealing with the repercussions of the first time. Never again. They’ll let us all die first.
