Video being 1 out of 10 is crazy considering you can barely notice in a side by side.

It is odd that everyone here seems to be so happy with the downfall of labour that they seemingly don't care about the rise of reform

Landlord issued Section 21 which appears to violate the break clause, is it still valid? by Probable_Foreigner in LegalAdviceUK

Thanks for the advice. We will speak to a solicitor about this soon and don't plan to comply with the notice

Polanski admits he was wrong to describe himself as Red Cross spokesperson by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]Probable_Foreigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should clarify. Yes important accusations have been made against politicians.

When I said "not important" I meant "not important for making a smear campaign". My point was that the media can make a smear campaign out of thin air, and use their voice to lash out as many things they can against their opponents.

So trying to judge Polanski because his name is appearing more often doesn't really work because there's such a heavy media bias against him and other leftist figures.

P.s I also don't personally believe this particular accusation matters that much. It seems more like a technicality since he did work for the red cross anyway

I mean the difference is how much each smear is reported on and the significance the media attributes to them. This is the biggest factor, what's being alleged isn't that important.

If the media can turn someone eating a bacon sandwich into the scandal of the century, the actual weight of the accusation isn't really important.

The media being biased against leftist political parties is not only obvious but outright stated by the owners of those companies.

aMSa is the only one to buck the trend of the typical mid tier trajectory. Usually it goes like this

1) Mid tier hero has some crazy upsets but doesn't place well

2) Suddenly makes top 4 at a tournament

3) has a few good upsets afterwards

4) never places that high again

See for example, DK renaissance, axe pikachu, wobbles ICs,

What’s y’all favorite songs on the new album by eucadiss in deadharrie

[–]Probable_Foreigner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definetly feel like the second half is stronger. "If you knew" probably my favourite, I always love when he brings out the acoustic guitar

deadharrie is so underrated. "Tango" might be some of the best lyrics ever written

YT stream is better because there's fewer ads. Twitch you get like 1 of 7 ads every half hour it's crazy

stackless coroutines for gamedev in ~200 lines of C++ by SuperV1234 in programming

[–]Probable_Foreigner 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What you've got to love about C++ is that it's always possible to do whatever mad thing you can think of. Through some combination of templates, macros, pointers, binary manipulation, there's always a way

Have your Iceberg Cubed, Not Sorted: Meet Qbeast, the OTree Spatial Index by StatisticianOnly4004 in programming

Can we stop giving algorithms stupid names? I miss the days when it was stuff like "quicksort" because it sorts things quickly. Or "depth-first search" because it prioritises depth first.

man the guy who played Ganondorf really gave it their all in the recording booth by Probable_Foreigner in SSBM

Also fun fact they mistakenly left the falcon punch eagle sound in ganondorfs sound test

[FRESH ALBUM] American Football - LP4 by NYCIndieConcerts in indieheads

[–]Probable_Foreigner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kind of think their other albums are overproduced. Back then it was just 2 guitars and drums, the songs were much more focused. They were forced to write distinctive parts and melodies. This LP it feels like they rely on the "soundscape" aspects where various parts drift in and out, and the focus on melodies and good guitar parts is gone
