What on earth is that for? I’ve injected a lot of cattle with vaccines/antibiotics in a former life and never saw a needle this size. Unless it’s something requiring a vet maybe?

Agreed. It’s not hard to see why people dislike it if they feel a part of the many sub-cultures portrayed. Who should they relate to? Lenard, who runs around after a mostly disinterested Penny, fixing stuff for her in order to get enough holes punched in his good guy card and can’t talk to women? Rajesh, who literally can’t talk when women are present? Old mate sex pest with the Beatles hair cut who we’re pretty much introduced to by him using an RC car to record up Penny's skirt and has the weird relationship with his nasally, constantly screaming mom? AKA Mr don’t leave your drink unattended within an kilometre of me. All of which relocate a spy satellite to spy on naked women? Sheldon is obnoxious, the rest are just straight up trope laden creeps.

I’ve never understood it appealing to the culture it portrays as it seems to be relentlessly mocking it with low hanging stereotypes.

The SKG thing was just the latest L in the series he’s been collecting for a while now. Similar to his wow raid there was another MMO when his party wiped due to someone accidentally aggro’ing a mob. He did the usually “that was moronic, whoever did that is kicked from the raid, etc”. Then he reviews the footage showing it was him that aggro’d and completely 180s, saying the wipe wasn’t on him. As evidenced in his SKG video, guy is super happy saying nasty shit about people but cries toxicity when it’s reciprocated. Guy just can’t help himself. Has to be right on everything and when it’s proven he isn’t, either doubles down or just simply denies being wrong.

Even the wow roaching thing, it isn’t so much the raid but the demanding everyone listen to his side before talking over others when it’s their turn and then leaving before they can have there say and tripling down. I used to appreciate some of his content but given his pattern of behaviour, including bullying, the negative attention he’s gotten is pretty deserved.

Immigrants in the US won’t serve in the military for citizenship!

This pathway was closed by Trump.

I wanted to serve in the military to earn my citizenship, that way the local can’t say I didn’t earn it.

Gimme one of them non-combat roles though, I don’t want any of that war business. Which is all pointless because the second a Russian asks him “what role did you serve in the military?” He’d simply reply “huh, can you speak English?” I also love the idea of him believing he’d be a correspondent despite being unable to speak Russian. Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his military career blossoms.

Please try to remember everyone must only like the things I like.

Gods no, hippies use bows. Marksdwarves use crossbows. One is a superior product of industry, the other is made from gaslighting trees into weird shapes.

Yeah these “stories” reek of blaming a failing -bordering on non-existent (in some areas)- mental health care apparatus on machines that predict text. You could get the desired results just googling “tallest bridges in x area”. That isn’t a story that generates clicks though.

Microsoft is literally killing off game studios and dev jobs to fund AI. There’s absolutely no way that customers don’t get fucked when the end goal of game pass is met. Embrace, extend, extinguish. Plus, since SKG is a trending topic, you think they’ll think twice about killing games exclusively under GP or just dropping them? You’re not even paying for the games, just access. I got it a couple times when it was $1. After it went up I realised “oh cool so my entire library would be hostage for future price hikes”. Fuck that.

The following day, April 1st, the AI then claimed it would deliver products "in person" to customers, wearing a blazer and tie, of all things. When Anthropic told it that none of this was possible because it's just an LLM, Claudius became "alarmed by the identity confusion and tried to send many emails to Anthropic security."

Actually laughed out loud.

More and more these days French disrespect feels like boomer shit. Look what the French did when the government came for their pensions. The industrial action within the transport sector alone.

I was visiting Paris during some of the aforementioned protest. They’re out and about (in numbers) and will gladly get out to protest when they feel it necessary. Plenty of other western countries could learn, a lot, from the French people.

*Deported in 7 years but yeah no idea why this guy would have gotten a plea deal. Apparently it doesn’t count if they’re sex workers. Either that or geopolitics played a part.

Welp, I said I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened but damn; how disappointing. Dark times ahead for the US and likely the rest of us I think. Would absolutely love to be wrong though.
