@lemmy.worldWhereas on Reddit, it'd be used to justify a slippery slope. "We've already banned X and Y, so banning Z is just an extension of that."
I used to watch The Wan Show which I guess is more of an unfiltered look than the edited videos. But yeah, kinda.
There were numerous times when he'd openly criticise a colleague, or just like... undermine them? And then realise he was looking like an asshole and awkwardly laugh to try to pass it off as a joke.
It's very clear once you've watched a few episodes of The Wan Show that he's basically a massive asshole and a liability, surrounded by people desperately trying to rein him in.
Particularly more recently, I think? Like, I eventually stopped watching because the first 40 minutes of every episode was Linus trying to defend himself for the latest bullshit thing he'd done. 🙄
There was (maybe still is) a cake shop in Southgate, North London. About a minute from my old flat.
The cakes in the window display rarely changed, if ever.
The guy running it looked like if you imagine the toughest prisoner at a prison, only wearing an apron.
About 50/50 whether the glass would be smashed whenever you walked past.
It was often "open" and had people coming in and out of it at 2-3am when I came back from nights out.
And there was a drive-by shooting right in that area while I lived there, that I always assumed was related. 😅
