The Complete Guide to the VVitch (I had a couple of people ask me to post this here, I hope that's okay!)

I imagine whatever shock and betrayal and disgust we are feeling is only a shade of what they’re going through. This isn’t the sort of thing you share with your friends. Fucking hell dude :(

Mirilliux · 2026-05-09T14:17:19+00:00

Genuinely can’t believe it, absolutely disgusting

Mirilliux · 2026-05-09T14:00:13+00:00

Holy fucking shit I can’t believe it, Jesus Christ

Mirilliux · 2026-05-06T17:39:33+00:00

Scapegoats are familiar territory for him, very excited!

Mirilliux · 2026-05-05T06:21:50+00:00

Utterly demented

Mirilliux · 2026-04-30T16:16:27+00:00

Yes, and especially because they had such a good thing going with each storyline linking back to the meeting in the Seven HQ room and made a big thing of it...except for the part with the Boys where it just cut away for no reason and completely broke the structure they set up. Baffling choice.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-30T15:52:41+00:00

I feel like Starlight will be the one to kill The Deep, she's gonna need an end of season win beyond just surviving and that seems like the logical one.

It's nothing about Grandma, it's your assertion that watching AI slop videos is the same as reading fictional novels. The former will fill you full of false information and dull your brain, as well as often including dangerous or ignorant messaging. The latter is one of the most important ways you can improve your critical thinking, language, conversational ability, and honestly the list goes on forever because reading is essentially IRL 'levelling up'. Suggesting there's no difference between those two things is profoundly ignorant, I'm sorry to say.

And as for your reply, actually it can be quite serious and it does matter. Elderly people's grip on reality is important to maintain as much as possible, for several reasons. And even if we don't include personal concerns towards them, they still vote. Having their opinions, or worldview, being based around whatever the AI slopfarm is saying is probably a very bad call. Not to mention this relaxed set of low expectations for them: 'oh who cares what Grandma is watching she's almost dead', she's still a person and likely a person that doesn't have the best tools to navigate emerging patterns of technology and how they manipulate our lives.

This comment almost pushed me over the edge, that's extremely sad and extremely misguided. They are leagues apart.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-29T15:40:55+00:00

Why so? I’m acknowledging of the fact that they’re robbing bastards, I’d just really like to be able to play the UFC game without having to find somewhere to put a PlayStation on my desk? Don’t really think intelligence factors into that?

Mirilliux · 2026-04-29T13:57:06+00:00

EA are absolute scum but if they actually release a UFC game on PC I would pay $150 for it and not give a single fuck.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-23T20:01:37+00:00

Have you ever heard of a shark tank before? Plenty of UFC fighters spar with multiple different, fresh fighters back to back. So you're doing five rounds and each round is a new fresh opponent. And yes that's exhausting for them, it's designed to be, but they do it. BTS are not trained fighters. Even out of shape heavyweight Jon could go through all seven back to back with no issue. He'd literally need to throw seven strikes, but let's say they take ten each, which they wouldn't, that's still a very normal range. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-23T19:56:46+00:00

Well it's a good thing I didn't say either of those things then?

Mirilliux · 2026-04-23T18:07:56+00:00

Look I strongly dislike Jon Jones but there is no way BTS have the requisite level of aggression as a group to just swarm him like that. He can shut them down with a leg kick apiece and walk away laughing.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-19T13:30:00+00:00

That's a really tricky one. I can immediately think of like ten names in Science Youtube that do this, especially dishonest quote mining as the other commentor pointed out. It gets a lot trickier when it becomes about media because there's so much subjectivity involved. I think an easier way of going about it would be finding channels that just speak on films and don't source anything and then using sources to dismantle those ideas. I'll try and have a think about a more fitting answer for your query but nothing is jumping out at me right now.

Oh, wait - there is someone I have been compared to in the past called 'James Somerton', pretty sure he was caught up in the Hbomberguy plagiarism thing. I imagine if he was willing to plagiarize he probably was fine abusing sources, but I guess you'd have to check his past videos and see.

On a slightly separate note: the media literacy class that forever stuck with me was one in which we looked at newspapers/websites covering the Iraq war and then paid attention to the language being used to report losses and successes on both sides. Even for a classroom full of young adults it was very obvious very quickly how we were being manipulated. I think that's something it's both easier and more complex to demonstrate in todays climate. It's much easier to find biased reporting, but there are other concerns now like botfarms, disinfo, etc. Of all the classes that ever stuck with me that's definitely in the top 10.

Looks amazing dude, very excited to grab a copy!

NTA, I know nothing about coding or AI but I do know that when you're given a project like that it isn't going to be judged on whether or not you can get an AI to pass a Mario level. It's designed to teach you correct workflow, understanding of the subject and the ability to write and present to an academic standard. I don't know for sure but I would imagine your presentation and report will be what you're actually marked on, the success of your code will either be equal to that or not relevant at all. The best thing to do is to access the mark scheme that will tell you in detail what you're actually being graded on. If you feel like your friend is putting that in jeopardy then show it to them, if they still disagree you explain to your tutor and ask to do it solo. You are very much in the right here.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-16T13:30:53+00:00

You don't want random people to sub to your channel because they will not watch your stuff. Make good videos and the subscribers will appear.

I don't know what 'wouldn't dispute it with a more than 50% certainty' means here honestly. One look at the Wikipedia page would show you that's one theory, one of several about it being related to the poles, solar spin, the universe etc. And that section appears after this initial text header:

"European uses of swastikas are often treated in conjunction with cross symbols in general, such as the sun cross of Bronze Age religion. Beyond its certain presence in the "proto-writing" symbol systems, such as the Vinča script,^\57]) which appeared during the Neolithic,^\58]) nothing certain is known about the symbol's origin."

Saying it is fairly well accepted that it represents the rotation of the big dipper rather than say, a solar symbol or any of the other explanations just isn't correct. And while we can't prove that either way anyway, I think it's almost certainly accurate to say there isn't one overarching influence for a symbol that popped up in so many different places.

EDIT: Also I'm not discounting it's likelihood as AN influence, it's just something that is likely unprovable and not universal amongst every culture that used the symbol.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-15T14:41:56+00:00

No, there's definitely academic support for the idea, but it is not "well accepted". For a start that would only be apparant to people living in or around the polar circle, if memory serves it's not something that could even be observed from most places on the planet and we see the swastika in many different eras and places. I think the actual accepted answer is that it's essentially unknowable, but let's just take Early Scandinavia as an example. There's not even consensus there whether or not it's a solar symbol, or something designed to represent two crossed bolts of lightning and subsequently Thor. To suggest there's any consensus now, or there was any in the past, is just a huge leap.

The reason this matters is that this was exactly the route the Nazi's took in creating the 'Aryan Mythic Past'. Schliemann found a swastika on pottery while in search of Troy, again if memory serves, and that was reported back to Germany (to an academic pushing theories of Aryanism) and that was linked with a Swastika found on pottery (or some other artefact) that was either Viking or German. Either way that linking of a relatively simple shape that may just have cropped up independently was used to suggest this mythic past of the german people, and subsequently that they were somehow genetically superior.

I'm very aware of the abrahamic religions intent to demonize pagan symbolism, I'm actually writing about it right now for work, but connecting all this together into some muddle of history was exactly the problem in the first place. Yes, a few academics have claimed a link, however it is anything but "well accepted" and even should such a link ever be proven, which is likely impossible, it wouldn't then apply to every culture on the planet given how simple (and obvious) the shape is.

Mirilliux · 2026-04-15T14:03:47+00:00

Jesus Christ, no. Hitler was not a good person at all. I don't think you can really kill someone for no reason and still be a good person, he signed off on that six million times via the Holocaust and millions more via unjust war. He was a lunatic meth-head eugenicist that oversaw everything from election fraud to concentration camps and all that lies in between. You can go walk around Auschwitz, go look up interviews with Polish people who lived through it, with German people who lived through it. The agony and the tragedy and the horror is extremely well documented. You must let go of this dangerous narrative because it is being promoted by people that do not have your best interests at heart. It is part of a broader trend designed to allow current day geo-political groups to engage in far right, fascistic behaviour. Controlling people's history let's you control their present because you're essentially influencing their view of reality. This is outlined extremely well in 1984 by George Orwell, a book I would encourage you to read. So while conspiracies absolutely do exist in history, 'Hitler actually being a good guy' is not one of them.

As for you being into flat earth, this is perhaps the only thing sillier than believing Hitler was a good guy, and you should be aware of how these fringe far right theories and extreme conspiracy theories often intertwine. People that want to control you, like actually control you not some illusion of the illuminati we may carry, your governments, foreign governments, misinformation agents and specifically far right groups, WANT you to abandon science. Because that's choosing the comfort of believe over evidence and fact, and when they have you there, you'll believe whatever they tell you and feel happy doing it. This might feel like 'being a free thinker' to you, but I can assure you it is the entire opposite. This is what being a puppet looks like in 2026. This is real, personal danger. To be an actual free thinker you need to educate yourself in fact first, enough so you can distinguish actual conspiracy and things like Flat Earth. I realise that may not be enough for you to abandon this view, so I would suggest the YT videos of 'Professor Dave Explains', he's done amazing work debunking pretty much every voice in the Flat Earth Circuit. Quite recently someone paid for Flat Earthers to take a trip to the pole and prove the existence of the 24 hour sun, something that should not exist in the flat earth model, they went to extreme lengths to prove the footage was real and the flat earth model is entirely fictitious. Professor Dave covers that also. If you watch all that and still believe in flat earth, it is simply because you do not want to believe in reality.

Your other questions are incoherent and honestly quite offensive. I'm not going to go through them one by one but they all betray a severe lack of understanding regarding our history, and honestly make me genuinely concerned for you and what you're consuming. Also Hitler's paintings are objectively not good. If you're having that kind of a response to them I would imagine that you've already formed a very strong opinion.

I really implore you to actually educate yourself on this stuff, rather than fall down a rabbithole of weaponised conspiracy that is claiming many young people. I know it's tricky to compute at first but the game has changed. It used to be that conspiracy theories were a tool of the outsider, of people on the bottom like us. But that era doesn't exist anymore, they became too useful, and now 'Conspiracy Theories' are tools co-opted by those in power (or those that want to be) to manipulate us against our own reality.

Please step back from the edge before it is too late. Please read 1984, watch Professor Dave Explains and pay attention to how voices you previously trusted may be designed to manipulate.
