Cook said he continues to make the videos, from which he earns $2,000 to $3,000 a month.

Professional asshole gets shot and learns nothing. All over 2 to 3k a month. Dude could literally work at mcdonalds and make that kind of money.

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 51 points 2 years ago (4 children)

I'd rather get shot than work at McDonald's. Have you worked a low wage customer facing job? Literally anything is better. I'd rather have children kick me in the balls all day.

[–] OrangeJoe@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But you would also have to be a total asshole and go around harassing strangers who are just trying to get on with their lives.

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

True, my point was more about using McDonald's as a measuring stick is a bad call. Like I'd seriously have to think about it if I have to do one or the other for an extended period.

Harassing people seems like less work

[–] Lev_Astov@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Having worked in fast food and factories, I'd much rather the fast food work than any kind of repetitive factory work.

Should make a YouTube channel and call it Ow My Balls

I'd rather get shot if it was a mild wound and I didn't have to pay the medical bills afterwards*.

America, the land of opportunity!™

Well if you get shot at McDonald's, you'll get workers' comp. for a while. They'll cut you off eventually, pay you pennies on the dollar of what wages you lost. They will cover your medical bills though.

Do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life...

This kid loves being an obnoxious asshole, it's his calling.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's working up his immunity by getting shot with smaller calibers first, by the time he's making 10k/month, he'll have himself immune to high-caliber rifle rounds from people that are trying to kill him from a distance.

Sue the youtuber until he bankrupts.

~~What McDonald's are you working at for $25+ an hour?~~.

Don't listen to me

[–] xkforce@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

2,000 a month is 12.50 an hour not 25. And here 12.50 is below minimum wage.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago

You're right, my bad. I'd like to blame the bad math on it being early morning... But it's just me being dumb.
