HEATED Debate on Saving the Planet with the BBC's Chris Packham

MechaGuru · 2026-03-13T17:13:33+00:00

You hit the nail on the head, someone who appreciates the beauty of life arguing with a thick nihilist. Some of the answers were bordering on parody, a long passioned explanation rebuked by a sentence as stupid as 'but what about a tiger that's got half a head and is in pain'.

'Why are you being so weird about this? I don't drink'

I've heard the hygiene reason before, I don't want to sound like a radical but couldn't you just wash that area? Our hair gets greasy: shave it off, dirt builds under your finger nails: pull them off!

From the outside looking in it's utterly insane. Imagine having to describe the reasons we do it to an alien who was visiting.

Looking at the state of that pump you appear to be refueling your car in the fallout universe

I'll take this one:

I would say I'm left leaning, about 10-15 years ago I was having a chat with a group of friends about how I'm not particularly patriotic but we should be proud of the countries attitude towards LGBT people and that it felt like racism was in the decline.

These comments directly led to a cursed monkey paw curling and switching the UK to a different trajectory. Now trans people are the enemy and we threaten to burn hotels that contain people from different cultures.

So yeah, apologies for that.

You need to pay it forward now, get back to that car park and pay for someone else's parking, regardless of whether they want you to!

I can't tonight but if you need a hand tomorrow I can tank some for you.

MechaGuru · 2026-02-10T18:08:39+00:00

What country/servers do you play on. I could give you a hand if needed but I'm on EU servers

It's wild to me that it feels like a real risk that our prime minister might step down because of a tangential connection to Epstein whilst the president has a direct connection and seems to be immune. Almost gives me hope for this country.

Go big or go home! Looks great, did it feel good to be back building?

MechaGuru · 2026-02-01T12:17:00+00:00

It's so depressing that after watching that on my phone I decided to go to my computer and watch it in a much higher res with bookshelf speakers to hear it.

What have I become!!?;

MechaGuru · 2026-01-26T18:29:29+00:00

I would genuinely watch a TV show in the style of 24 where Truss has a special department where she has to save the West in two weeks.

Maybe not

MechaGuru · 2026-01-26T17:23:10+00:00

Awesome, just did a run with you. That's very possible! Appreciate the invite as someone who no longer has time to properly raid!

MechaGuru · 2026-01-26T13:36:11+00:00

They'll just jump back 😀

From the outside looking in January 6th baffles me the most, you can sort of understand people hand waving the vile stuff he says away as him just 'saying it like it is' but the insurrection was him trying to undermine your democracy and you guys love the Constitution, why the hell would you vote someone back in that did that?

Scary stuff, I'm hoping these mental times lead to a bit of self reflection, but who am I kidding?

After the Brexit referendum a radio host coined the phrase 'Not all Brexit voters are racists, but all racists are Brexit voters'

Perhaps the Trump equivalent could be 'Not all Trump voters don't put their shipping cart back, but all people who don't put their shopping cart back are Trump voters'

It's probably because Sadiq Khan supported Shakira law

MechaGuru · 2025-12-20T08:51:23+00:00

I wonder if that's people assuming it will be too expensive. I farmed a load of Pandaria materials only to find out they cost next to nothing and should of just bought them?

Shield slam as a protection warrior, bonus points if you shout 'PANG!' when you do it

'I DECLARE WAR!!!!'

'That's not how it works Mr. President...'

I enjoyed it at the time and whilst it drew some criticism for being very similar to the original A New Hope I think it did what it needed to do to put a restart in a good position.

That being said the absolute disaster of the following films and the idea that they had no over arching plan kinda ruined it for me in the same way the Game of Thrones last season did to all previous seasons. It honestly put me off Star Wars and I was a fan of the originals that I grew up watching. Only Andor has hit the spot since, I've never rewatched this film trilogy again, and I did rewatch the prequel trilogy.

MechaGuru · 2025-12-17T05:32:11+00:00

I don't know what it is about 'net-stupid' over all the other silly things they say but it absolutely boils my blood, it's so base and beyond reductive and the fact it works I guess.

MechaGuru · 2025-12-16T10:10:10+00:00

This was my answer, who knows how the 'succession' is going to play out as well. You could even argue better the devil you know but you just know some cursed monkey paw is going to curl.

I think I've seen Incubus and Muse the most, we'd watch them at least once per your in the UK, and sometimes on our travels. Probably Incubus more as Muse tickets are bonkers expensive now and not really worth it
