I'm pretty sure none of that stuff is restricted to the US, that's just how humans operate, everywhere.

I'd argue that the bigger problem is that people learn plenty, but often their education only ever moves in a direction that reinforces how they already feel. The illuminati-nut is maybe the perfect example of this. I'm sure if you broke down how much time Keith's sister spent reading theories or perspectives that support her own paranoid fears versus time she invests in perspectives that call that poo poo into question, I'd bet the latter wouldn't even come close.

There's a difference between your beliefs and your interests.

Hyperbolic example: a new bill that exempts me personally from all taxes and awards me a three million dollar monthly stipend for contributing the magnificence of my existence (and residency) to our great and deserving nation. Or a restriction on people named Nancy being employed by the DMV because gently caress her she told me to fill out the wrong form last month.

That said, yes, tons of people vote without thinking nearly enough.

Gold Coins are the filthy fiat currency endorsed by the Royal Mushroom Family, Invincibility Stars are the one true currency that you should invest in.

The strict limit that you can only own 999 of them at a time works to mitigate inflation.

I'm more curious about the wild fluctuation in the Gold Coin/Frog Coin exchange rate. Tadpole Pond has strict deflationary policies to keep its currency strong vis-a-vis the gold coins of the Mushroom Kingdom, but the Midas Falls exchange set at 30 gold coin/1 frog coin is still a far better deal than one should be able to get otherwise, and that fixed exchange rate will open the path for Soros-types to devalue the Frog Coin.

And how does the Frog Coin currency fair at the Toad Town Stock Exchange? I mean, let's not even throw in the Beanbean Kingdom's absurd exchange rate, which can change from being anywhere from 100 Beanbean coins to 10 Mushroom coins, to 99,999,999,999,999 Mushroom Coins translate into just 99 goddamn Beanbean Coins. I mean, where's the dichotomy in this it's insane I tell ya!
How such kingdoms can even CREATE a trade agreement is just beyond my understanding. And we don't even know anything about Sarasaland's agreements other than some sort of mutual friend policy.

The end sequence isn't as funny as Sonic getting spiked, so I don't see why he'd want to. Also Lucas needs to be congratulated on discovering a new Sonic 2 glitch that I don't think anyone had seen before.

Thanks for checking out the Run Button Patreon page! Don't mind our temporary video

Hi, I'm Keith Carberry. My cousin Kyle Churchill and I have been making series-encompassing, conversational let's plays for a couple of years now. We have almost five hundred videos (and hundreds of hours of content), where we undertake such tasks as: playing all the Sonic games, playing all the Mario games, and other ideas that suggest we have no regard for our own mental health. Our aim is to continue to make funny, interesting and well produced videos with a natural and easily accessible chemistry.

Because we love what we do, we want to release as much content as we possibly can, but it gets very expensive. We've put a couple thousand dollars into games and equipment and we spend dozens of hours each week commuting, recording and editing. That's what it takes to put out more than one or two videos a week.

The past four or five months have been rough in terms of video quantity. We have jobs, school, girlfriends, etc, and finding the hours has become harder and harder. For the last few weeks we've been making a real effort to put out more content, almost as much content as we'd really like to be putting out, but to sustain this pace we need your help.

This in no way means our content is no longer free but if you've watched and liked our show, or benefited from our hundreds of hours of content, we ask that you consider pledging to ensure not only continued content, but increased quality and quantity. We've worked, and will continue to work (with the help of our patrons) to come up with fun, exciting and different rewards accessible only to you guys. We'd like your help, and we want it to be worthwhile.

What this money goes to:
Getting a capture-enabled 3DS
Upgrading our recording equipment
Paying for Keith's commute to Kyle's house (~2.5 hours total)
Allowing us to spend more time recording and editing
Funding game purchases for streams and let's plays.
