Hate the game, not the player. Or both, your choice.

“For those really hard to remove, stubborn shit-stains, you need…”

"you would basically kill the AI industry in this country overnight.” Cutting through to the heart of the issue here, economic FOMO. “If we don’t steal this data, someone else will”.

I don’t think you understand how bad the UK is.

I’m British.

I’m only saying that it’s arguable which is better on most issues

Sorry, but it’s really not. The UK, like so many other countries, is just following the fascist trail blazed by the USA. I hope this doesn’t come across as me trying to defend the UK, by the way. It’s just that I’d find it hard to find many countries worse than the USA, by almost every metric.

No? I mean, if you don’t see how bad the USA is, I don’t know what to say to you.

I ain’t reading all that

Is the kind of anti-intellectualism that I’m seeing plastered all over the internet. Maybe it’s confirmation bias on my part, but I swear that people are getting increasingly pissed off with having to read anything.

I was watching a streamer the other day, and the chat was spamming “UP” every time someone chatted more than 3 lines. They were reveling in it.

These days, they lock you up and throw away the key. Just for saying your English.

“look man, it’s just a suggestion! I’m trying to help, here”

Crikey, there’s 13 entries just for this one guy! What a prolific source of shite.

Everyone with a platform to speak about fascism in their country should talk about the fascism in their country.

Is that Simon Whistler? If it is, I’m with you on that one.
