      He’s a YouTuber guy with a kind of distinctive voice, does a lot of Let’s Play videos. Recently he’s branched out into podcasts & stuff. Seems like a decent dude, unless I’ve missed recent drama.

      It’s the concept that government spending actually leads to more consumer spending. To calculate the total economic growth of a government spending package, you add in a multiplier (aka a markiplier) to the total expense to get the total economic growth.

      The govt spends 1 mil, 500k of that goes to consumers who spend it again, then 250k of that is spent again, etc. The total growth is 2 mil. This kind of logic is used to justify government spending packages.

      I don’t know for sure, but my first thought was the homemade compass my dad made for me in elementary school when I lost mine. He made it out of a pencil, duct tape, and a pair of needlenose pliers.

    He is a man who at one point in his life owned five ovens. A man to fear.

    when i was younger i had a really bad fear of markiplier when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse markiplier and he would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alone

    Who the fuck changed this from vampires to Markiplier

    the real question is why I was completely ready to accept that this person had a debilitating childhood fear of Markiplier

    Who the fuck changed this from Danny devito to markiplier
