Oh hi, Russ. I’m not your mate govnah.
If Sky were being honest in this headline they would say serial sex pest and known grifter Russel Brand. That’s what I’m fucking on about.
- Comment on Russell Brand latest: Comedian pleads not guilty to new charges 3 days ago:
That sex criminal hasn’t been comical in any form for decades, and personally I’d argue never was. Not that I expect anything from Sky, but they’re really diving deep in the muck to protect a notable sex pest this time. It’s almost like people shouldn’t be linking tabloid slop on here.
- Comment on Epstein arrests: 0. Nancy Guthrie: still missing. The head of the FBI: 4 days ago:
Exactly as intended by the administration. All governmental bodies will be made subservient to the great leader through installing purposely incompetent and bad faith loyalists and sycophants. This should not be a surprise at this point, it should fill us all with righteous anger.
- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 4 days ago:
Huh, I wonder why they would do that… So Weird ™. Surely unrelated to the tRump republicans axeing PBS funding in this current term…
- Comment on AI blamed again as hard drives are sold out for this year 4 days ago:
This framing is journalistic malpractice. Using the term blamed implies room for doubt where there is none, it’s a clear and provable driver of this issue. We desperately need public funding for journalism, as long as outlets rely on private investment to function there will always be this kind of manipulation and bias infused into news media.
- Comment on Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too 5 days ago:
Please inform him that I have no interest in what he thinks, and also remind him that he belongs in jail. Thank you.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 5 days ago:
Thankfully, it’s not, not in any meaningful way. The source is a big indicator of how much you should trust the assertion being made.
Actual broad metrics show that gaming in general is currently the most profitable entertainment industry, and it’s not even close. So that’s good, MS is just assmad that they’ve very efficiently begun removing themselves from that industry at this point.
- Comment on Xbox’s leadership shift proves it: the gamer era is over, AI runs the show now 5 days ago:
More wishcasting gigacope from window’s personal diary. The windows gaming era may be over, that’s the kernel of truth.
- Comment on Given the obviously wide reaching implications of the Epstein files why arent other world governments demanding access or copies? 1 week ago:
They typed Israel, you read Jews. I think you’re the one with the problem there.
- Comment on America Isn’t Ready for What AI Will Do to Jobs 2 weeks ago:
AI is snake oil and the ones ruining the jobs are the corporations and billionaires. AI will be a net positive for society once we make it a public project and reclaim the stolen wealth of the oligarchy, who use it to maximize their extraction and destroy society. Cool article, or whatever.
- Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses 2 weeks ago:
Your experience huh?
- Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses 2 weeks ago:
Every single ‘manfluencer’ is a closeted loser who specifically wants to take your money and cause you to be alone and miserable like they are. Every time. They should be openly ridiculed and loathed, and I hope this trend just elicits legal action and ends quickly, and that minimal harm is done to the victims in the process.
- Comment on Windows 11 is finally killing off legacy printer drivers in 2026 — and it’s going to shake up a lot of older hardware 2 weeks ago:
I think windows central needs to take a look outside and see where the winds are blowing, the only thing this will shake up is the stability of windows 11 market share. People are already switching away from this toxic dysfunctional OS at a growing rate, either to an older version that still works or to Linux or some other competitor, this is going to accelerate the trend, and for no reason but hubris.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
So true
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
MS is about to learn how hard it is to build trust in commercial markets, and why it’s a terrible decision to set that on fire for a short term profit. Honestly, it’s hard to find a better example of a company that had a more comfortable and ideal position in their market, that just decided to disrupt itself without any pressure or prompting. You wanna gamble, you gotta be ready to lose.
- Comment on Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020 4 weeks ago:
I’m still on the fence as to whether their current CEO is just a complete business illiterate, or some kind of corporate Manchurian candidate… It’s sure LOOKS like malicious mismanagement to me, a nobody pleb.
- Comment on AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think that guy is as smart as he thinks he is. Maybe it’s all the evidence that Microsoft is literally committing suicide on his watch… maybe it’s a hunch… but the suspicion it’s strong.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 5 weeks ago:
Tell me more about how you don’t understand war at all. Nobody wins.

Swing and a miss.
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 1 month ago:
Well put all around, and in response to your final point, I’m really not sure. I want to say this is the value of public education, but I don’t recall a terribly strong effort to educate people in common sense and media literacy so as to not be manipulated so easily, and end up voting against our own best interests back when I was in the system. Still, I had access to better education than most young people do today.
I think that lackluster regulation of media really is failing us too, since any billionaire can just buy up a large organization and dictate what it will and will not report on, and how it aims to persuade people in out society. All of this requires rooting out apathy and corruption in our governing public servants, and strengthening regulation, and every day I see more of the exact opposite of that. It’s hard to tell what the endpoint is that’s going to force a turn-around, if such a thing even exists beyond a systemic collapse that strips the power to manipulate the systems of governance from the ultra-rich.
Generally that means terrible suffering for all, and I’d much rather see a better path, like, oh I don’t know, massive taxation of enormous and excessive private wealth. Until I see politicians willing to take meaningful actions to resist and confront oligarchy, and a general public developing more self-awareness, I’ll continue to believe that outcome seems like a pipe dream.
- Comment on Why do your own farts smell so bad in the shower? 1 month ago:
One could theorize that the poop particles expelled with the fart are better trapped in the moisture in the air, so as you breathe in the very humid air, and consequently your own poop particles, the sensory elements in your nose and sinus have an easier time detecting them. This is partly owing to how the moisture also makes them more likely to stick to surfaces inside your body as they travel your airways on the journey to your lungs, where your poop particles may end up. Hope this helps.
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 1 month ago:
If the Canadian government were real it would exact punishing fines on the company’s Canadian held assets in response to this. And I don’t mean cost of business fees, I mean hurtful costs, because these giant fucking companies seriously damage Canadian lives when they just rugpull the labour after making massive profits of Canadian operations. There is no justifiable reason to side with Ubisoft or their scumsucking management here.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 month ago:
Boy, that company should probably fire the CEO, what with him forcing it to commit suicide.
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 3 months ago:
He’s talking about a system to eliminate, not support and elevate the poor here, mark my words. Do not give this brain-damaged, broke-dick, eternally divorced Lex Luthor anything but sentencing for crimes against humanity.
- Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You 3 months ago:
Crazy how much money is flooding into something so absurd on its face. You nailed the gambling part especially, looks like they’re not even waiting for the AIs to develop to flood that junk on every available platform and visible surface. There should be laws against it honestly, gambling addiction is absolutely ruinous.

Not in years, I avoid that shit like cancer, I feel physical pain when I’m sitting through ads. Can’t say I’m at all surprised.

Question: What does AI advertise to you if you want nothing and have no money?

Gearbox, fire your CEO.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 5 months ago:
everybody knows shiny = real.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 5 months ago:
I bet there’s modpacks out there that make the game look 100 times better than this remaster.
