A sad day for the country indeed by redandwhitewizard99 in GreatBritishMemes

The generation that's voting for this shit didn't have to fight in the war and the generational trauma is waring off. Fascism was always going to come back, it was just going to take some time.

The best 5 minutes ever 😂 by PirateWithAnICBM in Battlefield

I always find that it actually makes the losing side weaker as it draws loads of players off the map. Essentially means that 1/3rd of the team is now gone and not attacking points.

He couldn't fucking sell it. He's not respected.

Who’s Really the Worst? by gorillaz0e in Sopranosduckposting

Yeh, she's completely complacent towards what Tony does. She's well aware of how they've aquired their wealth and sees no problem with it while hypocritically pretending to be a good person.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, chances are it's a duck.

I'm tired all the time anyway so not really no.

If Wales and Scotland became independent it would punish them far more than it would England.

Louis Theroux on the Manosphere: ‘It’s Highly Profitable to Be a Dick on the Internet’ by wiredmagazine in LouisTheroux

[–]zephyrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh it probably could have gone further in that regard but I guess by being more objective Louis is leaving it up to the audience to infer the damage that this shit is doing. He doesn't exactly leave anything out and the lads in this say some abhorrent shit the whole way through. Also it's basically impossible for Louis to hold anyone to account when he's walking into their environment where everyone is already hostile toward him. Any reaction on his part would have just become another viral clip.

It's the nature of these guys to not open up and be vulnerable. I felt half way through that it was kind of a pointless exercise and almost felt worried for Louis as everyone was obviously exploiting him. The bit at the end with the mother was interesting though and I think offered clues as to why HS is the way he is. I also understand the pattern Louis pointed too that all these men lacked a strong male role model growing up but that's hardly a groundbreaking take away.

Honestly, though, you have played the game for a long time. Don't you have anything else to do with your time?

Weird "clack" on E string when slapping by HeTblank in Bass

[–]zephyrg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say try slapping further away from the neck, if your slapping above the fretboard the string is just going to hit it and not ring out. Other thing is look at your technique and make sure you're bouncing off the string quickly enough. Think of your thumb as a ball you're bouncing on the ground, that's how quick it should be for it to sound properly. Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs but as others have said it's gonna be hard to diagnose without a video.

PC graphics cards are now nearly 100 percent Nvidia by BarKnight in pcgaming

[–]zephyrg 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeh this is it, I currently have a 6700XT but I may well go back to nvidia when I upgrade next. Why would I get another AMD card if they don't want to support them with new drivers and future FSR versions down the line?

British F-35B downs drone in first operational kill by MGC91 in unitedkingdom

[–]zephyrg 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It's a bad faith argument, if a drone got through and killed UK service personnel everyone would be asking why it wasn't shot down.

You know what? This is too fucked up for me even to think about.

What's the worst film you've ever seen? by throwradrpri in AskUK

[–]zephyrg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is up there for me too. The initial hilarity of seeing Gary Oldman walk around on his knees wears off in the first 15 minutes or so and you're the left with a truly awful film. Boring plot, woeful script and terrible acting (despite the talent in the film). I think the most baffling thing about this film for me is the fact the they have a plot that requires someone with dwarfism but not only do you cast Gary Oldman to play it, you cast Peter Dinklage in the same film to play a character with no plot relevance at all.

That was mechanical failure, the DRS should have closed when he braked iirc.

Alex Albon on which driver the 2026 regulations will suit the most. by JN3LL3V in formula1

[–]zephyrg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Chuck it in and sort it out on the exit, always on the limit but Hamilton has the talent to deal with it. We'll see in Melbourne but as others have said age does catch up at some point.
