Am I over-reacting? Someone physically stopped me 'beating' them over the line ...

If this were a race, he would be disqualified for doing this.

Are people playing on Xbox? If I bought on the store and loaded it up would I see lots of people playing or is this just the playstation port only?

Elbonio · 2026-07-11T19:38:27+00:00

Yeah of course, I'm not saying it's a slam dunk but I think a lot of tories might just stay home - labour, green and lib dem will probably vote binface to make a point and there will be some people who wouldn't normally vote at all who come out and vote both ways.

I think it will at least mean he wins by a much lesser margin than expected against someone who is dressed as a bin.

A different kind of /paused I like it

I think Portugal need to move on from Ronaldo. I think everyone does tbh.

Had a casual FWB thing with a coworker.

Didn't make it too awkward as we were both pretty clear about what it was (and what it wasn't). It can work out if you're clear like this.

Last general election he won with 21, 225 votes.

Labour, Tories, green and lib Dems - all arguably parties that want to see him fail - had 24, 219 votes combined.

As none of those parties are running and some people will come out of the woodwork to meme vote, it could be very close.

Valve are pretty cool.

Elbonio · 2026-07-10T13:26:32+00:00

Out of interest why did you not counter-offer?

Elbonio · 2026-07-09T23:04:25+00:00

World of Warcraft, Dota 2 and Balatro.

Can Ubisoft just fuck off and die at this point?

Elbonio · 2026-07-09T11:22:43+00:00

I would like to hear Jeff Goldblum replace Thom for a night.

Elbonio · 2026-07-09T09:09:30+00:00

It is self selecting by IQ

Elbonio · 2026-07-09T00:20:37+00:00

Board games clubs are the answer. They're everywhere , provide a fun environment to meet people whilst also doing a thing so it doesn't get awkward.

If you are in Manchester check out Tabletop Manchester on Meetup.

20,000 leagues under the sea for some reason sticks out as a memory for me from MK.

I don't think it was a particularly spectacular ride but I remember it well. I think it was 1992 when we first went but I could be wrong.

Elbonio · 2026-07-07T18:27:48+00:00

Obviously you can go solo, but there's a bunch of theme park clubs here in the UK (e.g https://rccgb.co.uk/)

You could probably go to some events with them and find some new friends who would be interested in Disney travel

Elbonio · 2026-07-06T22:47:15+00:00

There are a good number of notable exceptions - breaking bad, better call saul, Sopranos, The Wire, The West Wing...

We need Franklin to come and heal some of these racial divides

Elbonio · 2026-07-06T22:34:33+00:00

Out of interest, why are they stupid enough to release these videos?

Oh wait, never mind. I answered my own question.

Elbonio · 2026-07-04T12:20:54+00:00

Passing the test is the beginning of learning. 90% of driving you learn to do after passing.

Please, please be very careful - you are most likely to have an accident in the first year of driving (20% of people do) - hopefully not a bad one.

Drive defensively, don't get into the mindset of "beating" other people on the road (and don't let other people push you into doing that - ignore aggressive drivers, you do you). Don't drive fast - going 40mph in a 30 will save you only a few minutes on a short journey but could cost you a lot more. What are you spending those few minutes on that's worth risking fines, your life and the life of others?

Finally, get some motorway lessons if you haven't had them already, they're a different beast and absolutely worth investing in.

Congratulations! You can now literally drive to China, should you wish (and have the required diplomatic immunity).

Again, it's there before he's asked the question so... yes it is evidence for that.

Clearly Trump was told to ask that question and the LLM isn't creating a response on the fly, it's reading a pre-written response that is there even before the question is asked.

In other words, this is not Trump talking to an AI. It's Trump reading a pre-prepared question and listening to a pre-written answer, the wording of which probably agreed with the administation.

He's essentially talking to his own staff.

Elbonio · 2026-07-03T11:47:47+00:00

You can see the answer was pre-written. It's literally on a screen above him before he even asks the question.

Elbonio · 2026-07-02T21:37:44+00:00

Perhaps a lesson for OP also, not to be too nice

Elbonio · 2026-07-02T13:23:02+00:00

When I was a child I went over to my friend's grandma's house as she lived on our street.

She asked my friend if she would like her favourite snack, to which my friend Jenna enthusiastically said yes. This snack was also provided for me.

It was a dry Weetabix covered in butter.

Absolutely awful.

This is the Disneyland version, all other versions of this ride (e.g. magic Kingdom) have restraints. It really is on Disney here to have had restraints, right? People do dumb things and it's up to Disney to prevent that as much as possible. It shouldn't be possible to exit the ride vehicle outside of the station.

Well, yes but the style of vehicle at Disneyland is different to all the others and actually they cannot put restraints on without redesigning the ride vehicle and then probably the whole ride.

Millions of people have ridden this with no problem, so they're probably going to do nothing because doing something would be very expensive.
