  • I haven’t seen any news articles about it, I don’t really care what they say. What I have seen, constantly, is people on this platform understating the fuck out it by saying “he was just stuttering and is old” which is really annoying.

    Also I think he was sick, I’d be feeling sick too if my handlers had drugged me like a maul and made me stand under studio lights for an hour.

    Your last point is unironically true though. He had information, it was mostly correct, and when it was incorrect it was mostly just the numbers that were wrong by a small amount.



  • Affected users might have blamed Firefox for the issue. Some may even have switched to a Chromium-based browser, as these worked without any issue.

    I’ve been having issues with YouTube on Firefox for ages, not these issues, different ones. I haven’t bothered to test if it’s only Firefox that has the problem because I’m not using Firefox for a seamless experience, I’m using because why the fuck would I use anything else on Linux? I won’t put google or ms into a Linux environment, even if I don’t really care about privacy or whatever, it just feels like mixing oil and water.

    Might use another browser like brave or whatever foss solutions are out there, but I’d be surprised if anything like that is better than Firefox.


  • Even so, academics is such a niche and marginal problem compared to, like, anything else capitalism fucks up.

    Scientists are still doing good things all the time under capitalism. Environmental sciences criticize problems that capitalists are loath to address all the time, but also apparently capitalism funded their research for a century.

    This post is just more populist tanky agitprop to make dumb people angry and distrust institutions and science whenever it tells them something they don’t like.













  • When I was an edgy emo teenager and all my edgy emo teenage friends and I were getting tongue piercings my older brother looked at me and said “is that for your boyfriend?”

    That wasn’t the reason that I ended up getting rid of that piercing (tongue piercings are annoying as fuck) but it definitely didn’t help my desire to keep it.





  • I point it out because I dislike seeing the side I identify with using the tactics of the side I don’t identify with.

    If the left wants to use misinformation and lies they are little better than Nazis spreading blood libel.

    Additionally this strategy is incredibly dumb in his particular instance. When you misinform you are gambling that people viewing the claim won’t attempt to look at the evidence. In this case the evidence is a single clip that is an obvious example of a hack. Many people are likely to investigate it. Many people on the fence will think you are liars, all Nick’s supporters will reinforce their belief that the other side are liars, and many of your supporters will think you are liars.
