Oh that’s good. I like that.

And fuck you too btw PirateSoftware :)

That… didn’t end well, did it?

Outdoor ceremony in 40 degree bone chilling weather.

40 degrees is chilly? I don’t want to know what’s warm for you. Do you live in the Sahara or something? Dry heat?

Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?

Would be better if citizens actually cared and didn’t dream of becoming the USA 🤷‍♂

This isn’t “just a petition”. It’s a formal path to get a response from the EU commission. If it reaches the thresholds, the EU commission is forced by law to consider it. It isn’t some random petition that can be filed away and never heard of again.

Which is exactly what the EU Citizen’s Initiative is about 👌

Gaming is the biggest entertainment industry on the planet. Globally it generates more money than music and movies combined. Germany alone had an estimated 49 million players in 2022 (wikipedia), with France 45 million and Italy 36 million. Even if they were wrong by one decimal that would still make more than 12 million in those 3 countries alone.

The vast majority of European gamers are just too lazy to do anything in their own self-interest. It’s embarrassing.

I understand why he’s frustrated. EU citizens are just so damn lazy and won’t help themselves. I’ve told all my friends and family, brought it up at parties and other gatherings to anybody who plays games. But there are EU gamers (streamers and consumers alike) who are chronically online, on every proprietary platform out there and who don’t give 2 shits about the campaign.

Edit: Fuck Thor.

I lamp? Is this a moth meme?

The black dude escaped? Where to?

Lesser wierd peepol

Fucking A. Printers back in the days used to just print and had refillable ink cartridges. Some expensive ones are still chugging. My dad has one from the 90s that still fucking works. The new one we got cries about colour missing when trying to print a black n white page 😩

100% my problem. My mom bought a sewing machine about 4 decades ago and it still works to this day. It cost her a fortune, but it paid off. Sewing machines nowadays have all kinds of fancy electronics in there and if it fails, you’re fucked. I don’t even know if paying more really gets you a better quality sewing machine…

Exciting! I don’t play DotA, but this sounds like an interesting idea. You might get a good response from the people on Steam. Just post it in the dota 2 discussions. I assume that’s where the majority of them are?

Thanks for sharing. He does sound like a devout Christian who does believe in a creator, but because of science is questioning his beliefs. It would’ve been nice for him to keep that opinion out of the video and just stick to the point: this thing is awesome.

As an atheist agnostic myself, I don’t think anybody can claim to know that there was a creator or not. However, there is much more evidence for the lack of one than for it. Who knows, we might be wrong and we’re just in some intricate simulation created by sentient beings, but that then forces the question if those sentient beings are in a simulation themselves and how far up does it go? The other option is that nothing was created and it just came to be.

Both options still raise the question of how either (creators or existence) came to be. To me, they might be unknowable.

What I do like about his presentation of the options is that he says wherever your flag is, learn more and always question your position. IMO that’s actually sound advice. Nothing is for certain. Neither scientists nor believers can claim to know anything for certain. The difference between science and religion is that science is a process of learning with need to discard incorrect knowledge, while religion is the claim to know everything claiming there is no need to disregard facts as it is impossible for them to be wrong. Scientists can easily fall into the latter trap too.
