...Yeah that's enough.
Blatantly, and knowingly, lying (let's not pretend that wasn't the intention) about his compensation to billet is too much. No excuses for that.
You know what really sucks? Owning their stuff. I got the screwdriver (it’s pretty nice). I’m drinking from one of the water bottles right now (it’s also pretty nice).
How am I supposed to go on using that shit? I can’t do it in front of anyone who knows. “Oh you like that LTT stuff? You know what they did right?”
All that goodwill flushed because of ego. All that cost, sunk. And the worst part is that this discourages me from buying merch from anyone else again, lest I get burned again someday when it comes out they too are the opposite of the image they portray for money.
I guess there truly is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Or.... just don't give a fuck and reply with "Bought it before the shennanigans, bro. Not gonna toss it."
But what will people think? 😱
True answer: They won't give a fuck
Yeah, I suppose I’m not going to actually give a shit. Still feels bad, man.
I used a Tek Syndicate mug up until a few months ago from way back when Logan was still cool. It was a sweet mug regardless.
What's so special about their screwdriver? Can I fight off a Dalek invasion with it or something?
Just pretend that your specific money went into the pocket of one of the employees whose fault this isn't.
Well at least you don't have the ltt underpants
….uhhhhh
(Lol nah thankfully I never went that far)
Just put a sticker over the logo if you don't want to sand it
I would dremel the logo off.
Just keep the L to show everyone what you really think about Linus.
