In a similar vein, a religious group funded a study on the power of prayer helping hospital recovery. They found that it does nothing if the patient doesn't know you're praying for them, and actually makes things worse if they do.

Maybe not as a whole, but if it convinces even one on the fence parent that it's fine to vaccinate their kids then it is a resounding success

The schadenfreude is mostly on Gavin, but also on everyone else who thought it was not going to break. Timestamped to the money shot; whole video is worth a watch, though.

It's really surreal seeing someone from your school days become internet famous, like I still remember Gavin as a little dweeby kid from school with funny hair and here he is a dude from small-town Oxfordshire living it up in the USA playing videogames for a living with millions of subscribers following his every move. Schadenfreude's on me I guess, should've invested in a slow-motion camera instead of a degree, then perhaps I wouldn't still be stuck in the shires earning gently caress all as Brexit approaches :smith:

Prester Jane's Decoding Authoritarians thread covers that. She personally believes she does, and others with more professional experience in the things she talks about have corroborated her knowledge. Trump is the picture perfect example of "getting high on your own supply", and his mood and behavior during the debates and on Twitter seems to depend heavily on how much his ego is getting stoked.
Thank you for posting a link, I had forgotten where that thread was. Time to catch up on it.

The Feds don't prosecute anyone unless they're drat sure they'll get a conviction. Joe is hosed.

That reminds me of the "Dilberito" people brought up in the Scott Adams thread in GBS.

quote:

Criticism
The product failed to catch on in the market, leading Adams to "several years and several million dollars later" to sell off his intellectual property and exit the business. Adams himself noted "[t]he mineral fortification was hard to disguise, and because of the veggie and legume content, three bites of the Dilberito made you fart so hard your intestines formed a tail".[4] The New York Times noted the burrito "could have been designed only by a food technologist or by someone who eats lunch without much thought to taste."[5]

It's crazy how effective DXracer's marketing has been. They gave free ones to all the right people and now everyone that starts a twitch stream thinks you need one to be taken seriously as a gamer.

Is that why that caught on? Of all the embarrassing things about being "a streamer" those loving chairs are the most embarrassing.

Feb 10, 2009




we were talking about them in SH/SC the other day. They emulate racecar seats, so there's no lumbar support. There's very little horizontal g-force at a desk, so the bucket shape is useless. They do make one with RGB LEDs, however. Popular conspiracy is that they give them to youtubers, which is how they're everywhere.

Buy a real ergonomic seat (even the ikea ones are good) not a 2 Fast 2 Furious gamer throne.

edit: haha they have their own reddit modded by staff. Here's #2 alltime post:

Man that's horrific. One moment you're surrounded by delicious food. The next you're dying helplessly in a pretty brutal way.

The lovely thing is that apparently still happens to people (including kids) in grain elevators all over the corn belt.

I was eating dim sum at a restaurant in the same building as my workplace and as I was walking out to my car there was a huge flock of pigeons milling about in the parking lot. They were pecking at some poo poo on the ground and a huge work van approached the flock. The birds slowly moved to the side as the van inched forward but one pigeon was going to town on the poo poo on the ground and it got popped by the van. I heard its bones crunch and everything. The van continued on and the pigeons came right back and started eating the fresh corpse of their buddy.
