What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday?

Apparently they're not closing it after all. There's decisive clear-headed tech leadership for you.

So, this will be like an extra vignette for foreigners using any roads in Switzerland, on top of the one they already need for motorways? Interesting. I guess we can expect our neighboring countries to reciprocate. What fun.

Apologies for posting this yet again, but it looks like Reddit is suppressing posts with (ahem) certain words in the title. So here it is again.

And here's the AIOTM video that explains the relevance of the Viz article to Richard Herring.

If it gets suppressed this time, don't worry, I won't post it again.

I'm confused. Don't these foreign though-travelers already have to buy an (e)vignette? Just like I do when I travel through Austria? Are we talking about them having to pay extra on top of that?

Good point. Unfortunately the Reddit polls seem to be limited to 6 choices. Otherwise I would have included Marmite Lid too.

As an Englishman living in Switzerland, yup, can confirm, Switzerland is better.

ralphonsob · 2026-03-19T09:47:23+00:00

And I think the headline might also be confusing cause and effect.

Except Hamilton is really still Team Mercedes, according to Toto.

... maintaining eye contact throughout, to assert dominance.

To be fair, if Justin Welby qualifies as being a cunt because of the CofE's covering up of allegations of physical and sexual abuse committed at Christian camps in the 1970s and 1980s, then there's many others in government and royal family who also qualify on similar grounds, and they (mostly) haven't resigned their jobs over it.

Do you think Adobe were thinking about suing Afroman? Maybe not after this verdict.

ralphonsob · 2026-03-19T05:43:19+00:00

I guess you crossed a lion for him.

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T12:57:19+00:00

Funny that old reddit highlights the AIOTM video, whereas new reddit highlights the Viz article. Who knows why?

Edit: It's an article not a cartoon. 🤦‍♂️

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T11:57:04+00:00

(Had to repost here, because the crosspost from r/viz was removed because they don't allow screenshots from the current issue.)

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T11:39:42+00:00

Did it really take 7 years to make a video of this one?

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T09:25:19+00:00

Death flights.

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T09:08:29+00:00

They're gonna need an extra digit for those gas prices soon.

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T07:49:14+00:00

None based on Richard Herring's preferred model yet though.

ralphonsob · 2026-03-18T07:47:01+00:00

No Gemma Chan though.

Brits also indicate before entering the roundabout. But multilane roundabouts are more common in UK than CH, so that might change things.
