    Idk about others, but Singapore doesn’t really have socialized healthcare.

    We pay for it with our salaries into an account and the hospitals use that when necessary.

    But we have all the luxury to have personal insurance and it doesn’t really cost too much if you have a proper job and all. Coverage is pretty decent too.

    I feel like we are missing the most important context.

    He basically lit the fire that started the whole debacle.

    He is known for his investigative journalism as mentioned. And he is from the Youtube sphere like Linus and has done collaborations with him.

    Steve however, turned his eye of Sauron on Linus this time and called out inaccuracies in his content due to a rush to meet timelines and a huge bungle on a small company’s proprietary item.

    This caused Linus to react badly and the community was pissed. Mud slinging started and an ex-employee’s sudden revelation of the toxic culture of the workplace(still not verified), had started a massive shitshow.








  • The comments and votes here baffle me.

    One step. That’s it.

    One step by actors being paid presumably millions. That’s all they need to do. All the steps you mentioned above can and should stay. But an actor can’t take 5 mins out of their oh so busy lives to learn to check clear a weapon? How is more safety a problem? What is wrong with people who disagree on that?

    Industry standards change throughout. Just because something worked before doesn’t mean it always will. Exhibit A is the man who died. Or is his life a statistical anamoly and within acceptable error? Do we wait for more people to die then?

    Does an actor blindly get behind a car and drive not caring if he runs anyone over because it’s the set director’s job to clear the path? Is he absolve of all blame here?







  • Agreed. I am all for accountability of the assigned individual but you hold an item that can literally hurt or kill someone you treat it with respect.

    Check clearing a weapon should be taught to everyone. The man can be an instructor but his word isn’t law. Every instructor knows the moment you hold a weapon you observe decorum that you treatg it as loaded.

    Now is Alec Baldwin innocent, maybe. But we have to use this experience to learn and change things in the industry aka, have actors who are handing weapons learn to check clear them.
