Because he wants to be the original, damn it!
“But mom, I want to be a Tesla founder!”
“You weren’t there when Tesla was founded”
“I want it anyway, waaaah!”.
He has the emotional maturity of a spoiled child. Once you see it, everything he does makes 10x more sense.
- Comment on Zachary Levi Says ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ Critics Rating Was “Oddly and Perplexingly Low” 1 year ago:
Because it’s healthy to read and understand the thinking of the people who disagree with you.
If their arguments are irrational and the information they use is incorrect, you will get a better insight of how they came to forming their wrong views. It can help you avoid doing the same, and it can help you in arguing for your position.
On the flip side, if you find that their arguments are solid and based on facts, you might be convinced to change your wrong views.
I don’t see how being a public figure should any difference to what I stated. Besides appeasing the crowd, I suppose, which isn’t a good reason to do anything.

No, you’re a normal person.
The internet politics have just turned to rabid purity testing, where even reading what the opposition (of any issue) says is considered endorsement and betrayal.
A sane person will look abnormal in an insane asylum. And I don’t know how to better describe Twitter than an insane asylum.

But let’s just go even further. He was on the podcast of Shawn Stevenson. The first podcast episode I found of Shawn Stevenson regarding COVID cites in the episode transcript, among others, Geert Vanden Bossche, who advised stopping all mass-immunizations for COVID and has written all kinds of crazy, grammatically-and-factually erroneous content on COVID.
I don’t care about Zach Levi whatsoever, but this has to be the biggest reach I’ve seen.
So he was on a podcast, of which the host, in a different episode that did not include him, cited a person who has at some point advised stopping mass-immunizations for COVID (from what you said, I interpreted thats not the statement he cited).
When you’re 3 levels of guilt by association deep, it seems like you’re just grasping at straws to support your position.
- Comment on WGA Picket in New York Doubles as Unionization Effort for Animation Writers: “We Are Going to Get This God***n Industry Organized” 1 year ago:
WAG can go fuck themselves for stealing the role of Angel Dust from Michael Kovach who has poured so much time and effort into bringing the character to life.
But here comes WAG and stronghands away what he has worked so hard for, something that could have been a big career break for him, because he’s not part of WAG without offering to onboard him.
Creating that level of injustice under the guise of protecting voice actors is one of the most disgusting things I’ve witnessed in my life.
Michael Kovach is a saint for being graceful about it and having the restraint not to go nuclear on social media.
It’s just another ultra corrupt Hollywood clique that fucks over upcoming independent creators. I sincerely hope WGA is blacklisted by every studio until every member is forced to leave and it doesn’t exist anymore.
- Comment on How TV Writing Became a Dead-End Job 1 year ago:
That would make sense if taxis weren’t basically a mafia-like organization in most places.
Here, the taxi drivers are the absolute worst. They drive worse than student drivers. They don’t give two shits about the customers - if you order a taxi and they find someone more convinient hailing them they’ll just pick up that person and never come to pick you up with no notice. They can’t follow basic GPS directions from their device and you often have to guide them.
The taxi companies send any complaints directly into the shredding machine. They have a legally enforced monopoly over a region and customers have no choice.
And I’m talking about a major city in America.
There is definitely a healthy middle ground, but just going back to taxis is not the solution.
- Comment on Say goodbye to the name Twitter’s Bird. Elon Musk changing Twitter logo to ‘X’ 1 year ago:
Yep. You can’t tell me you don’t know a manager who would completely unintentionally do just as shit of a job as Musk.
Well, Musk is that manager when he’s unrestrained. The way he was publicly arguing with software engineers who built the software while himself being clueless, should have been the last confirmation anyone ever needed.
Musk is perpetually sitting at the peak of Mount Stupid of the Dunning Kruger scale.
- Comment on Lemmy.ml/c/ps5 is moving to Lemmy.world/c/ps5 - Please upvote for visibility 1 year ago:
As opposed to moving to a decentralized instance?
Every lemmy instance is centralized, it’s not a bloody blockchain.
- Comment on Firefox outperforms Chrome in speed for the first time according to a Speedometer assessment 1 year ago:
There is this misconception of “using a lot of ram = bad”, but memory is not like cpu or gpu cycles.
Unused memory is wasted memory. Chrome will use available memory to improve responsiveness. Primarily the memory use comes from keeping all open tabs in memory, so they are in the same state as you left them.
When the system runs low on ram, chrome will start discarding old tabs and giving back memory to other processes. Firefox does the same thing.
Also windows task manager is very inconsistent when it comes to memory usage. Right now it’s telling me chromium is using 1.4gb for 47 tabs. And memory usage is a lot more complicated anyway.

Vivaldi is chromium based, so it’s pretty much chrome with a different UI.
- Comment on Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time 1 year ago:
It’s their “use in case of emergency” tool.
It was popular so they are bringing it out as a distraction.
