Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Yeah, I'm sorry, but "photographer ushered towards photo op" is neither unusual nor suspicious, that's what they're there for. People seeing that as suspicious when shots have just been fired don't understand how dedicated photo journalists can be. The flag I'm happy to imagine was planned as part o...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Ehh, seems perfectly normal for a man that age, though it can't be helping that he's long had a reputation for those moronic fragile-masculinity yanking-the-other-guy off-balance power handshakes he does and the people he meets are probably responding in kind.

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

I think this will probably prove to be a mistake that does not go in the direction that Labour are hoping. Young people on social media are increasingly being radicalized by right wing influencers and I can see a lot of them voting for parties like Reform. I agree that's a risk, but frankly it shou...

Re: The Absolute State Of It - It's The UK Politics Thread!

I'm for it, though I don't think we should be expecting anywhere close to the figure being thrown around of newly enfranchised teenagers actually voting. Still, I reckon there's a decent chance we'd still be in the EU had this happened ten years ago.

Re: General TV News

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKZyYdwS3Wg I'm still vaguely interested in this and will watch on release, but it'll have been nearly three and a half years since the previous season when we reach November, and almost a decade since the first premiered. As much as I'd prefer stuff not to be rushed ...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Fans don't really work for me, my eyes dry out really quickly if there's much in the way of air movement and that's almost as bad as the heat. The eye drops the optician recommended don't even take the edge off.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Thankfully I have windows in the front and rear of the house I can open to get a good through-draught going, but that only works when there's actual air movement outside, which didn't really pick up until half ten on saturday for me. Has anyone ever actually investigated proper air conditioners? I t...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

The heat made the weekend absolutely wretched for me. I took part in the weekly Darktide session with the Discord group on saturday, and given it was warmer outside than in when I started, I didn't open the windows. My PC runs pretty warm (though apparently not warm enough to melt my motherboard, un...

Re: Aaand, In Other News...

Musk has actively been manipulating Grok into treating legacy media as false when it disagrees with his lunatic far-right narrative. It's somewhat unsurprising that they haven't learned from the history of this style of AI chatbot - not learning from history is pretty standard for the US these days...

Re: The F1 thread

I genuinely used to like Horner, when compared to the likes of Ron Dennis he was a breath of fresh air, but my word how that opinion changed over the last decade. He's a smarmy, slimy, wretchedly unsporting mouthpiece happy to have his team moan and complain about every single advantage their oppone...

Raid and I played it, and while the scope of what they are doing is amazing the levels of jank were beyond olympian :lol: One day, it might be amazing, but it sure ain't there yet!

Unable to decide how many developers it'll have to fire to achieve it's Q4 net profit targets, EA decides that selling enough copies for 1.25% of the world's population is an achievable goal for their next Battlefield game. https://www.eurogamer.net/ea-reportedly-expects-battlefield-6-to-have-100-mi...
