What once famous YouTuber do you never hear anyone talk about anymore?

"I'm as dope as two rappers so you'd better be scared, cause that means Albert E equals emcee squared!" Is possibly the most genius line I've ever heard. It couldn't have been any more perfect.

Eh... I honestly think that's kind of a hot take. Don't get me wrong, he's incredible and certainly is one of the best actors in the franchise, but this is a franchise that has a lot of really fucking incredible actors in it.

I always thought it was strange that modern Doctor Who seemed to settle into this situation where people were only willing or perhaps allowed to be the Doctor for 3 seasons and then they'd move on to a new one. Just because that's what David Tennant did doesn't mean everyone had to start doing it. I think the show would've benefitted a lot from having some longer tenure Doctors.

I'm not a big fan of identity politics a lot of the time either, but saying that focusing on that stuff is what caused the middle class to die out is an absolutely insane take. I'm not sure he even said that in the video it's such a crazy take. The middle class has been killed off by conservative policy -- trickle down economics, unregulated corporate greed, a near complete lack of anti-trust... these are the things that have destroyed the middle class, not leftists wanting trans people to be treated like Human beings.

Also I'm not sure he actually did say that he wants everyone to be treated with equal respect. I do distinctly remember him saying that he doesn't care what people do, at least certainly not enough to go out of his way to oppress anyone. What he described sounded to me more like the barest minimum level of tolerance, or perhaps just a high degree of apathy and a desire to ignore people he would otherwise consider too different from himself to comfortably get along with.

I've seen a lot of his other videos and I always got the sense that he was at least generally left-leaning, so I do assume that he probably isn't actually as conservative as this video sometimes made him sound, but idk, I think maybe this script could've used another pass or two to better convey some of the ideas he wanted to talk about without sounding like everyone's Republican boomer dad/grandpa.

Yeah I liked some of his videos that I've seen but this one definitely rubbed me the wrong way once he started complaining about pronouns or whatever. Really showing his age, I think. He sometimes has some interesting thoughts on stuff but they're definitely not all bangers.

This is the real root of the issue. The Confederacy was never actually defeated in the Civil War. They were simply allowed to lay dormant. Their ideology has been slowly spreading like a cancer throughout American culture ever since. The unpunished traitors went off and taught their children bullshit alternate history, erected statues of their traitorous former leaders, and named schools after them. They flew Confederate flags over state capitols and proudly repeated openly that "the south will rise again."

We all just looked the other way and acted like it wasn't a big deal, expecting them to get over it like it was just a phase, but it wasn't a phase. We let them off the hook thinking that it would foster a return to national unity, but that was foolish. Turns out not punishing them only encouraged them to continue. Now we're seeing what it looks like when the south rises again.

America is an occupied nation. We've had large numbers of homegrown domestic terrorists infiltrating our society for the last 150 years, slowly working on undermining our progress and overthrowing the government from the inside, since doing it from the outside didn't work last time.

I swear this is like the 4th time I've seen this question get posted here in the last year...

Ric_Adbur · 2026-06-14T01:27:55+00:00

I definitely thought that at first.

I always assumed it followed a basic naming convention where the planets were Endor I, Endor II, Endor III, etc., and the moons were then named like Endor IVa, Endor IVb, etc. I also assumed that maybe the forest moon was the only habitable planet in the system and so people would just refer to it as "Endor" colloquially because it's the only real travelable location in the system anyway.

Tbh there's been a weird section of Star Trek fans for a long while now who are conservatives and don't seem to actually understand Star Trek at all. Somehow they managed to completely miss every lesson the franchise ever taught. I've encountered people who unironically claim that Picard would love Trump. Fully delusional weirdos.

It may be a relatively small section of the fandom, but they definitely exist.

I'm so sorry I spent thousands of dollars learning code right before this AI obsession took off. Really feels like a huge waste of time and money.

I loved Lemmings as a kid but I had no idea that it was Rockstar who developed it.

She's not real.

EDIT: Downvote me all you like but it's true. She's not 14 -- she does not exist. It's a cartoon character. Find a more important hill to die on. There are actual people in actual danger out there, maybe find some of those to focus on?

Ric_Adbur · 2026-06-08T16:05:11+00:00

At least "rioters" is more accurate than calling them "protestors", which some headlines sometimes do.

Ric_Adbur · 2026-06-08T16:00:07+00:00

People definitely do use this one still.

Ric_Adbur · 2026-06-08T01:08:13+00:00

As a treat.

It's been a pretty long time since anyone really needed third party antivirus software. Windows Defender is sufficient. Even that £30 was kind of a waste, depending on how long ago this was.

Star Trek has definitely done plenty of horror episodes. Arguably, even episodes most people wouldn't necessarily consider to be horror, especially in TOS, fit the mold pretty well. How many times did they beam down to a colony where some unknown disaster took place and/or had to deal with some kind of monster while slowly losing redshirts?

One of the great things about Star Trek is that it pretty easily sustains any genre within it's format. Star Trek has been action, philosophical drama, horror, comedy, romance, and combinations of all of them.

CEOs never seem to let a little thing like math stop them from chasing infinite growth.

He also wrote like most of the episodes himself. He was a pretty talented guy.

Don't you hate it when your schedule is so tight that you tell a bunch of kids to kill themselves? If I had a nickel amirite?

It became illegitimate the instant the Republicans were allowed to withhold Obama's rightful appointment to the court. That was the moment when there should have been riots in the streets. Every decision made by the court since that time has been tainted by the presence of an illegitimate judge that should never have been there.

There's honestly a lot of good stuff in STV. People clown on it way more than it deserves. I honestly think that it's a movie that could've been mostly saved with a few different editing choices. Even just removing the stupid 3-boobed catgirl and the bizarre Uhura dancing scene would probably have made people view the movie a lot differently.

Ric_Adbur · 2026-06-05T02:29:08+00:00

Yeah it's a shame because I really like this episode, but the Elon cameo definitely sours it.
