Not at all. Just responding to a link with a link. I didn’t realize the Battletoads memedom went beyond misidentifying games. TIL.

I don’t get it. Why would I say my favorite game is Battletoads? Now, if they had posted a screenshot, asking what game this was, yeah, then it’s obviously Battletoads.

It sounds that way, especially since the next like is pronounced “mighty swerds.” 😂 And that’s what I thought it was for years. But in the context of the rest of the lyrics “worlds” makes sense.
In any case, Nightwish is no stranger to misheard/pronounced lyrics.

Hierarchy. The invisible sky wizard makes the rules, and if we don’t follow them we burn. And so on down the line, priests, pastors, presidents (unless they’re black, hoo boy did that send them over the edge), police, parents. Do as you’re told. Do not question authority. It’s practical preparation for school and the workforce at least.
Meanwhile, all of my birthday parties were keggers because the weather was nice and the adults liked to party. And I was at most 4 years old when I learned that I shouldn’t touch the small squares of mirror. Or the plastic film canisters.
There’s nothing quite like the smell of hypocrisy in the morning. Overflowing ash trays and last night’s beer cans when you’re trying to eat breakfast comes close though.

What’s even weirder is being raised by Christians, taught to hate the blacks and mistrust the Jews (using the usual inappropriate slurs at every opportunity), never going to church outside of a few Easters, and growing up slowly learning that your parents were full of shit and they never actually read the book they said was so super important.

Dammit. Back in my day, Jesus was just a humble public access TV host.
- Comment on AI might be creating a ‘permanent underclass’ but it’s the makers of the tech bubble who are replaceable 1 week ago:
if you are among those panicking about being forced into the permanent underclass, you are already in it.
Well, yeah. And it’s been like that for many generations. AI is just the next big thing. But it’s nice to remind people every once in a while.

debate
Granted, I dont care to watch the rest of the show, but from the clip that was less debate and more old white fucks shouting over one another in a desperate scramble to place themselves above the dangerous subversive radical trying to talk sense.

nine out of 10 major evaluations used binary grading that penalized “I don’t know” responses while rewarding incorrect but confident answers.
This is how we treat people, too. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard IT staff spouting off confident nonsense and getting congratulated for it. My old coworker turned it into several promotions because the people he was impressing with his bullshit were so far removed from day to day operations that any slip-ups could be easily blame shifted to others. What mattered was that he sounded confident despite knowing jack about shit.
