@VigilantFox Simple fact:
No one who is not presently obese, ever wants to become obese.
No one.

Watch Jillian Michaels run circles around a “body positivity” advocate in a debate about excess fat.
WOMAN: “You’re saying that it is inherently unhealthy to live in a fat body.”
MICHAELS: “Yes.”
WOMAN: “Where did you get that evidence?”
[Michaels lays out the evidence]
MICHAELS: “Have you heard of something called adiposopathy?”
WOMAN: “Mmmhmm.”
[Answers wrong]
MICHAELS: “No, that’s not what it is.”
[Educates her]
WOMAN: “I want to pause.”
MICHAELS: “Of course, you do want to pause because it’s irrefutable. You don’t even know what I’m talking about.”
[Audible gasps]

@RobertSole9 I've thought about this over the years. Ultimately I think illegal drugs now serve a purpose of keeping the criminal class occupied, with the market being funded by crimes against the working class. Few stately homes/galleries get robbed and no rich folk are held to ransom....

@kravietz2048 @MichaelAArouet @EquesNaturae Putting the late 1800s aside, before the year 2000 the UK was fairly low immigration. There's still plenty of labour potentially available, but converting central bank money into profits via benefits payments while getting labour from abroad is a double win.
English
That’s the fundamental contradiction of the British economy at works - it depends on cheap labour, which it initially got from Eastern Europe migrants. Because British social system is by definition class-based and exploitative, you can’t have too many culturally similar immigrants because they will start challenging the system from inside. British elites don’t want a system based on high wages, such as Norway or Switzerland have, because that would reduce their profits based exclusively on rent on property passed dynastically between generations who are increasingly less capable of doing any actual work or innovation. So the only logical solution here is inflow of cheap labour, which can be only provided by illegal immigration from remote places.
English
Isn't it ironic that many Brits voted for Brexit because they wanted immigration to go down?
How did this happen?

@levelsio It's not just their leaders. There's still support for this kind of suicidal empathy across Europe. Got plenty of flack for this piece on London from folks in the UK committed to the "it's not so bad / it's inevitable / you're bad for noticing" circle. world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remem…

Funniest part of it that this was mostly Brazilians with Italian heritage getting passports A demographic that's high educated and high income and culturally aligned with Italy and Europe, I mean they're genetically Italian! Instead they'll now give away passports to low educated welfare seekers without income from cultures that hate them It seems European governments enemy is immigrants that are a net positive addition to their culture while wanting to bring in more people that want to destroy their societies

@JeremyClarkson @DeAthCardiff It would be great seeing you implement some alternative farming methods: intercropping, no-till etc. Soil health improvement while staying productive with reduced input costs instead of the wilding scheme where production halts:

Every season of Clarkson’s Farm highlights how unprecedented rain, drought, or heat can cause massive problems. His own show reveals the real consequences of climate change. I guess it’s easy not to care though when you own a farm mainly as a tax dodge.

@MrSpock83339 @GriftReport Water is safe to use for subduing Li battery fires. There's also a big difference between 1000s of densely packed cells in an EV battery and sparsely distributed single cells in a vape shop.

@GriftReport Should use powder on electric fires. Water is like putting petrol on the fire.

Glasgow Central fire looks like it was made worse when someone used a water extinguisher, as the person filming stated they were using water on an electrical fire/lithium battery. Moments later, there was what looked like a large battery explosion from the vape shop, these battery's are common cause of fires as they can become unstable.

Youre not sad or happy but not comfortable with ther situation so you get as good as you can so as too not lose what little bit of experience and life you have, you begin to learn fear, you wonder why this is happening to you? by the time youve figured it out youre turned off and tossed into a garbage bin and cells proliferated off your trained ones are spawned in to start the journey over only with learned experience but the why has been stripped away

@BobFromAccounts Nobody cares about arbitrary categories... tax is tax and drivers and haulage companies pay more than enough extra to build and maintain all roads. In addition the economy (i.e. all taxation) is 100% reliant on the road network. Can't cycle to an office that wasn't built.
English
Hey drivers!
Fun fact: these cyclists on their daily commute, who probably don't even own a car, pay as much towards the roads, the upkeep of roads, and the building of roads as drivers do.
Just so we're clear

@carrut92267 @ABridgen Involving ourselves in foreign conflicts is certainly a catalyst and I would love that to stop. However we have NGOs/criminals directing all comers towards Europe, with benefits and legal systems pre-tailored to maximise numbers. War plays a smaller part than presented.
English
@ABridgen If you don't want asylum seekers in the UK , Stop starting wars. Its really not so hard to understand, it pretty simple.
English
I think this policy will incentivise even more illegal migrants to enter our country because if they are refused asylum they will be expecting a lottery win as compensation !

@Kanrabbai @RupertLowe10 Briton is a name used to describe the ancient peoples of the British (Anglo-Celtic) Isles, including those from Armorica in France, a region which encompassed modern Brittany (where the people are now called Bretons). Be careful getting information from AIs.

You’re arguing a factual statement incorrectly.
Someone that is from United Kingdom is called a British or Briton. So literally, a Scottish or Welsh or Irish can British. While someone from
Wales is British, he doesn’t speak English rather he speaks Cymraeg, does that make him less British?
Let’s bring it down. Someone of Jamaican dissent , born in England, holds a British passport, what shall we call the person?
Jamaican?
Even though he might not hold a Jamaican passport.
Isn’t he British?
I think the term you’re looking for is English. A Chinese born in England cat claim English cos she’s not a native inhabitant of England or its descendants.
I think anyone that isn’t claiming to be is sick.
I’ve not seen anyone do that before.
So get your facts right and choose the right battles and terms.
Well done o

If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. Nor would that apply to India, Thailand, Mexico, Denmark or anywhere else.
So why is England different? Of course there is an English ethnicity. I am entirely bemused by how so many argue against that. It’s just a fact. Politicians who say otherwise are cowards. This is painfully obvious.
Restore Britain’s position is clear.
English ethnicity exists - it’s the only sodding data point that the Government collects on anything.
Of course someone who is not of that ethnicity can be British, obviously. But it equally does not mean that the English ethnicity is imaginary. Those two things can be true at the same time.
I got in trouble years ago for suggesting that the footballer Paul Pogba was French, but not ethnically French. It’s insanity. That is just a factual position. Common sense, clearly.
Separately, Restore Britain has said from the very start - owning a British passport does not make you British.
We have seen how lazily those documents have been frittered away. Holding that piece of paper does not automatically make you British, we are very clear on that.
Is the Egyptian lunatic Alaa Abd El-Fattah British? He has a passport. Restore Britain says NO. No, he is not and he should be stripped of that paper and deported.
Being British encompasses so much more than that, it means so much more than that. It is not simply a piece of paper. It is culture, shared beliefs, patriotism, language, a common understanding of what is right and wrong. That has nothing to do with ethnicity, obviously.
But for even daring to suggest that English ethnicity exists I’ll be roundly attacked.
It is just a fact.
Every other country in the world manages to acknowledge ethnicities exist without descending into hysteria.
England should be able to do the same.

It’s already on the market and has customers. (Link in bio)
I never said it’s “the most optimized software ever” (I don’t even think manual code ever is) but from the purposes of performance metrics, it exceeds the requirements of a video editor (scrubbing, rendering, playback)
I’ve done systems programming for fintech, games dev and real time positioning systems through my career so I understand the core concepts of building a video editor especially when it comes to pipelining, rendering, codecs, color transformations, matrix transformations, gpu shaders etc.
Agentic Engineering is a multiplier, and an incredibly capable one at that. It does requires core competency, (my mom ain’t gonna make a website with it), but it’s well proven at this point.

Alright interns, we need to have some real talk here I am tired of vibing on stream. I dont really like vibe coding unless its a tool i have no desire to build (how i manage things on my stream / how i write my youtube videos are great examples of things i would never build but i have). I dont like vibing the things i care about. I hate the code it generates, i hate the feeling of getting everything i ask for and nothing i want. I hate the subtle offness around vibe coded things. It is just driving me nuts. So for the next while i am going to be done vibing on stream. I genuinely have been trying my hardest to make this work and i cannot quite put a finger on why i hate it, but i do. And i just feel so horribly guilty and wrong because i am not getting the results of "everyone else on twitter." How am i, someone who prides themselves on making youtube videos that i think are actually good for people. To make videos that help people laugh at the silliness of tech or learn something new. But here i am not able to keep up with all these people claiming the sky is literally coming down. I just feel horrible and guilty about it. Now i know the world is changing fast, and i want to be able to understand that change super well, be able to talk about it, be able to give really accurate opinions about it so for the last 3 months i have vibe coded an absurd amount of things. But now... i am just tired of it. I dont want this any more. I want to be a tradcoder. I dont know why i told everyone this, but i just have this growing sickness that is just eating me alive around vibing and i dont know how to express it. You all are fired, CEO ThePrimeagen

@guillaumepiolat @v_language There are a couple of tiny libraries out there allow use of native file/directory dialogs.

@v_language Often the shortcomings of simple UIs is that they lack open file dialog and save as dialog. It is a differentiator, I think.

@Zarrapastroso00 @WrasslinRyan @BladeoftheS There isn't an economic argument, tourism generates wealth and a lot of tax revenue via sales and employment. Hospital/doctor visits are also paid for either directly, via insurance or via the EHIC scheme. Not everything is about money though.
English
@WrasslinRyan @BladeoftheS They use public services, hospitals roads, cleaning, police, but don't pay taxes
They get drunk, vomit and urinate in the street, leave the beaches full of trash, harass women, and make noise at night.
They don't respect the spanish language, religión or culture
They are scum
