Ah, those types of fans. It's always a personal thing though. It doesn't matter what they say as long as we're enjoying it.

I haven't seen any negative comments so far. What are they complaining about?

Ironically, if Steve's racist ancestors hadn't of gone out and colonised/stole people from different countries a couple of hundred years ago there might be less brown people in the UK to upset him.

If you look at this through the lens of "Trump is sick and hasn't been seen for days" then i hope it's true.

That's basically what i'm saying, but in manager speak.... "We discussed that in last weeks managers meeting"...
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social) reply parent
I like that idea. There's 10 people in this meeting.... 8 of them high level managers. Imagine what that's costing per hour.
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social)
Everything we're discussing in this meeting has been discussed in other meetings. It's adding zero value to the project but the person hosting the meeting is too weak to control the meeting properly.
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social)
This sounds serious. I hope he doesn't suffer for long.
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social) reply parent
It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a manager who should know better.
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social)
I love technical meetings where somebody new joins the discussion and wants to question everything that's been agreed over the last few months.

Sure, no problem, as long as the frog faced cunt gives up his EU pension..... no? Didn't think so. Also, you only get a pension out if you've put something in, so blaming immigration is just another dog whistle to his moron followers.

Tariffs are an Import Tax. *Americans* pay that tax and it goes to the Government. The Government then give it to the rich in the form of tax breaks. You've been played America.
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social)
This might explain the sudden increase in religious ads on youtube. Americans are now the enemy.
Sam Vimes (@samvimes6.bsky.social)
So i'm on the verge of giving up on Youtube. The unending torrent of repackaged AI voiceover shite, the religious ads you can't block, and all the AI wellness ads are just too much. Any good alternatives out there?

Ukraine has currently disrupted 17% of Russia’s oil refining production. If they can get the level to 30%, domestic demand would far exceed supply. That’s when things start to fall apart. (Data by Rochan Consulting)

I'm seeing a lot of Religious and Abstinence ads popping up on youtube lately. I keep down voting and reporting them but it doesn't make any difference. €10 says MAGA are behind this bullshit.
