Sounds awesome!

Ah, my bad, I’ll update.

Can I plug in an hdmi cable/keyboard/mouse and use it like a desktop and is there some way I can mount the android storage? (Eg can I get access to docs/pics/downloads)

Interestingly.as far as I’m aware Germans Italians were one of the last “ethnicities” to be considered white, alongside the Irish.

Edit: Originally said Germans, left the comment because it’s more about how whiteness is more about in group acceptance than actual skin tone.

Hol’up is Carmack a manosphere weirdo?

No one implied that.

Does that make the Wachowskis some kind of prophets to them?

I’d argue it’s not the inevitable outcome of capitalism. The grifters are connecting and feeding off each other like never before though. Trump/Tate/Farage/Rogan/Jones/Brand/Peterson/Shapiro are a few that spring to mind. They’re probably not sitting round planning stuff (well Shapiro probably is in the dorkiest way possible) but they amplify each other, vouch for each other etc etc.

They’re parasites with no moral compunction, they spot a glitch where they can get support, money and power and exploit the shit out of it with no regard to the consequences.

To my mind they harken back to the bullies of the 90s (and I’m sure before) and appeal to that mindset, wokeness bothers them because it represents progress that patches the glitch. I could ramble for hours but I’ve no solution, I wish someone did.

I’m aware of red pill/redpilling - it’s the specific slang I’m curious about. My knowledge/experience with Tate is primarily through the news and a few profiles by the likes of Robert Evans, which basically means I’m coming in with the negative viewpoint and no real experience of his content.

Without knowing the slang it likely passes me by as “well that’s how the kids talk these days” so I’m likely missing significant dog whistles all the time. I like to be aware - allows me to be vigilant and keep a check on myself.

Thanks! I feel the only new things here are simp and rizz if I’m honest. Simp seems to have gone the way of woke in that it’s lost most of its meaning, but when I see it used on YouTube it’s sinister AF. Tbh I’ve noticed this a lot on YouTube of late, high degree of racist and misogynistic comments in videos that feature a woman doing something “incorrectly” or if something criminal happens and it’s not readily apparent what the race of the perp is.

This doesn’t appear to be given to a centralised authority. If the authentication process fails then it falls back to the previous method anyway. In reality most people won’t bother to authenticate if it involves any significant work.

I’m not seeing the advantage of everyone having to do the same vetting process repeatedly.

I’m clueless, what slang are we talking about here, I doubt I’d know it if I heard it.

A French person decrying the lack of quality food in Paris in comparison to Scotland. British cuisine is truly amazing.

I can see them railing a line of asbestos just to own the libs. Better than vaccine denial I suppose, at least it limits the damage.

I’ve got a helmet like that, only works on women though…

I wouldn’t be surprised if he came up with it tbh, dude has a doctorate in economics and been the Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Governor of the Bank of England, he’s certainly got the experience to know how to play with an economy on a massive scale.

I’ve definitely missed an apostrophe there.

Mid century capitalism was certainly more worker focussed. CEOs salaries were more like single digit/low double digit multiples of average worker salaries. Profit got reinvested into development. Companies would literally brag about how well their employees were paid. This is the era that saw the US become a powerhouse globally.

Then Jack fucking Welch came along. He’s the motherfucker that started this crap with closing marginally profitable departments because it increased the overall profitability of the company as a %, which increased the stock price.

Meh, once they grow up their things aren’t nimble enough to assemble stuff any more. Waste of energy training them.
