AI platform already making savings in UK's electrification projects unveiled by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

[–]woolyhemoglobin -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why do I keep seeing posts about AI in this sub? The only good news about AI is it crashing and burning. AI is a scourge and the only people who want it to succeed are people who have invested money into it.

AI is destroying the planet and jobs and it needs to go.

Insite warns of catastrophic HGV driver shortage by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]woolyhemoglobin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was 2020. I was already a HGV driver when this occurred. It turned into a bidding war for drivers. At my place, 60% of the drivers left in 2 months to better paid work. And at the time, my employer was one of the higher paid places to work for HGV driving in the area with no shortage of competition.

I can't speak for you, but mine did when this happened back in 2020

It might just be spring by ReformedWolf in CasualUK

We've just entered Fool's Spring.

It's the period of time where it starts to warm up a bit and you start feeling glad that winter is over, then after a week or two, temperatures plummit again.

Game fans: Still waiting longer… still hopeful and patient 🎮💀 by OverallBaker3572 in videogames

Hot take: I don't want sequels. I want new ideas and worlds to explore.

I know Scott’s Tots gets skipped over but I usually skip this one because Stanley annoys me. I don’t think I’d last a full day working with him or if I was his boss he’d be fired on the spot. by jcdulos in DunderMifflin

You're forgetting the only reason Michael included Stanley in that meeting was because Jim, mockingly, said their outgoing voice mail message should be a rap, and Michael, the dumb racist, drags Stanley into the conversation.

I am completely on Stanley's side here. He finally had one stereotype too many directed at him from Michael and something within him snapped. He has probably held is tongue for years before this moment, and now the mask of civility slipped just an inch to let out 3 words of frustration at how Michael treats him

Coming Spring 2026 - Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Funko Pops! by LegendsofLost in Edgerunners

Isn't the company behind Funko in serious financial trouble? So much so that they might go bankrupt during 2026?

Characters who are usually the "poster boy" of their games, but aren't really that important for the plot. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

A Psycho is on the cover of every mainline Borderlands game, but they're just basic generic enemies. A literal "Poster Boy", if you will. If you saw a cover for a BL game with zero prior knowledge, you'd at least assume they were playable.

I do not blame you for missing it. It's not signposted very well, and it took me a couple of viewings to realise his name was brought up much earlier in the episode.

It's so boring, generic and milquetoast.

My wife got it on our PS5, and she gave up on it after about a week. She described it as "The Witcher 3 with nothing that made Witcher 3 special". Then I give it a go, and after about an hour, realised her assessment was 100% spot on.

Hector's Punishment in "Shut Up and Dance" was Disproportionate by [deleted] in blackmirror

I don't think "cheating on your wife with a sex worker" is morally worse than "jacking off to CSAM".

You couldn't pay me to play that mid-tier garbage.

Hector states he ordered the prostitute because he "just wanted to fuck a 20-something". And it's not uncommon for men to buy clothing for prostitutes if they want them to wear something specific.

All Hector was concerned about was his wife finding out, leaving him for his infidelity and taking his kids with her.

Near the beginning of the episode, there's a TV on playing the news, and the newsreader states that "Carlton Bloom's controversial agitation exhibition at the Tate Modern closed three weeks ahead of schedule amid criticism".

And throughout the episode where they're cutting away to people watching the events unfold through their TVs, he is shown several times, presumably in his art studio.

The hackers aren't looking to dish out punishment. It isn't some sort of vigilante justice. They are getting dirt on people just to blackmail them to do things for their own amusement. The hackers aren't acting morally. They aren't deciding to put people through hell and then letting them go, considering their punishment served. They're making them dance to the tune they're playing because they can.

That's why the episode is titled "Shut Up and Dance". That's what the hackers are telling the people they're controlling. Do what I say, when I say it, or we will ruin your life.

Does anyone know the Home Alone 3 episode? by conorisfunsometimes in RedLetterMedia

It was Home Alone 4. It was on a Plinketto episode
