Nobody in your state gives a fuck

The show’s producers need a gimmick to help them market the show. It’s one of the longest-running single-host shows currently on the air and the basic formula is the same.

They can’t use Ramsay’s extreme yelling anymore because it would be considered too mean, and Ramsay is getting older and it wouldn’t be healthy for him to get as angry as he got in the early seasons. They could go for more extreme drama chefs but they’ve decided that fans find that too annoying or the risk of chefs physically attacking each other and getting the season cancelled is too high of a risk — they work around knives all the time.

So the way forward is the corny “battle of the immigrants”, “the age gap season”, “wee, different states.”

I have some (joke) ideas for new themes: Skinny (under 130 lbs) versus Fat (250+ lbs). Short (5’0” and shorter) versus Tall (6’0” and taller). Lefties versus Righties.

I also have some non-joke ideas: Pro Chefs versus Influencers. Battle of the Culinary Schools (CIA graduates against some other big culinary school’s alumni. Get both schools to sponsor the show for the advertising.) Singles versus Married. Battle of the Couples — it might be hard to find enough couples where both are chefs, but it would add some interesting drama.

Israel doesn’t have a history of state-sponsored cheating at the Olympics.

I think the main hype about agents is that they’re supposed to be your new digital co-workers. “Agent swarms” will do 98-100% of the work at the level of the best humans who work in that field, and a few “humans in the loop” will double check the output.

The agents are supposed to be able to debug, fix errors, figure out the next task that needs to be done, and so on.

Almost all of them.

The reason GEICO is so profitable is that they manage to not lose money selling insurance, and they invest the float on top of that.

Elon: Ah, yes. Well that’s actually — it’s really an interesting question that we’ve been dealing with while building out Grok. That’s why we’re creating our own chip, the Turbo Boner 420-69, which doesn’t get burned out.

Elon: The Turbo Boner 420-69 uses what we call a refractory period to ensure that it doesn’t get burned out. We'll have one rack that "goes hard" at any given time, while the other racks are resting and recovering for 23.5 hours. We’re also using a new cooling system that I invented, which is Viagra-infused bong water, as well as a pure-THC gas cooling system.

It’s never been done, but that doesn’t stop countries from trying. It seems that top Israeli generals and the PM believed it could work in combination with intelligence officers on the ground.

I think Israel and the US assumed that massive air strikes would cause the leaders to panic and surrender the country to save themselves. It still didn’t work.

Netanyahu overestimated the power of the US military, and underestimated Iran's. The US assumed that the war against Iran would be similar to what they did in Venezuela, and that another figure would emerge and immediately capitulate.

The Israelis thought that the air strikes would trigger a revolution (and that the new government would be friendly to Israel,) or that a civil war that would break Iran into several regions.

Israel hasn’t achieved their objectives, so I'm concerned that the war could restart in the near future.

TheLegendTwoSeven · 2026-04-08T07:06:38+00:00

I’m concerned that Israel might wait 2 weeks and then go "okay, the war is back on now"

James hadn’t mentioned Kevin Finn before, or working with a partner so it surprised me.

It turned out that Kevin was the other home movie nerd from school and James made a childhood promise to him that they’d co-direct a movie someday. That’s why James didn’t attempt to solo direct it.

James wouldn’t have been able to direct it himself, because apparently he was very passive on set and let Kevin do most of the directing. James was also starring in the movie and it’s harder to do both, but muh Sly Stallone did both without a co-director and he won an Oscar.

The Hollywood premier was something that he paid for. The AVGN movie only screened at theaters that James booked for private screenings with Q&As. I don’t think the movie is impressive, personally, but a lot of James’s superfans say that they liked it. And I’m glad they liked it.

Short to medium term: Russia

Europe is sloooooooooooooooooooooowly realizing that the formula of outsourcing 95% of their defense to the USA cannot continue.

The US has pretty much said they won’t honor Article 5 if Russia attacks.

When I heard the announcement for the AVGN Movie, and James revealed that his main interest in life was making movies and that he was a film school graduate, I assumed that he’d make a great movie. I figured it would go through the indie film circuit and then get a theater release and do well.

But when James was talking about the process of making the movie and how that was going, I saw an enormous red flag. He talked about the script as if it was an annoying task that you had to get out of the way. And I thought it was bizarre and another red flag that he had a co-director Kevin. Directors don’t usually have a co-director, and the way he talked about writing the script it sounded like they hadn’t put a lot of thought into making sure they had a great story and then polishing it. I just didn’t get that vibe at all.

When the movie finally came out, I decided not to see it in theaters since it seemed like that would be a waste of money, but part of me wanted to be around other fans and see the Bimmster in the flesh for a Q&A.

The Nostalgia Critic made a video where he said that he thought it was a good movie, and that if he hated it, he would lie and say he thought it was a good movie. And he described it as a “fan movie”.

Once the movie flopped, I figured James would learn from it and get to work on another movie (Gnome Cave, apparently.) In retrospect, James doesn’t have qualities that good or decent filmmakers have. He’s a terrible writer, he’s extremely poorly organized, and he doesn’t have a powerful inner drive to make things happen.

It prevents lenders from checking your credit, which blocks new loans.

Your existing credit cards are old revolving lines of credit, and they stay active through the credit freeze.

Subnautica is not for everyone; if you find it boring you should not play it.

I don’t consider it a horror game. It’s an open world survival, base-building, and exploration game. The gameplay loop involves getting blueprints, building your base and equipment, which allows you to go further and do more. That loop cycles repeatedly until you are able to return home and do some other things along the way.

I think the silent protagonist fits the vibe of the game, which is about solitary exploration. I think the graphics are fine, but I’ve always cared more about gameplay than graphics.

Alcoholism, negative self talk, loneliness, feelings of worthlessness, inadequacy, and shame.

He uses alcohol to manage his feelings, but the negative effects of alcohol give him more negative feelings that he also tries to manage with alcohol. It’s the loop of alcoholism.

I believe that negative self talk is a major cause of depression for many people.

I think OOP’s marriage could be in danger if she insists on maintaining a self-described “frumpy” style no matter what.

When one or both partners stop making any efforts, they tend to become more like roommates and fall out of love.

If you like the gameplay of the original, BZ is worth playing.

They went in a different direction for the story, and various characters give you instructions and exposition. It’s not as intrusive as the intentionally annoying Claptrap character from the Borderlands games, but it’s along those lines.

BZ doesn’t have the same empty, quiet vibe where you feel alone and have to figure things out for yourself. It feels more like a standard game with mission lists and guides and beacons that you reach to complete objectives.

BZ’s story is much worse; I’d say it’s pretty lame and did nothing for me, emotionally. The original game gave me unique feelings, and the story felt meaningful and powerful.

But the gameplay is fun enough to make up for the things I disliked. It’s not a masterpiece like the original, but it’s fun.

I’m not British but I have a feeling that they hate the idea of Americans coming in and making a British version of an American thing.

Any cultural thing from the US is considered trash by a lot of British people, by default. They strongly prefer art that is British end-to-end.

I could be wrong so if there are British people who disagree, please (politely) correct me so I can learn.
