I take a lot of inspiration from them as content creators. I give up extra money to have better content by not selling people things. I don't have to facetiously pretend I like a company that we all know sucks.
I get enough, I don't need more.
Got back into RLM recently and must praise them for being the last YouTubers on earth not hawking a VPN or some shit at me in a torturously unfunny sponsorship segment, or segueing into a Nebula mention instead of having a good conclusion to the video. Kings, all.
PSA for Discord's new age verification!
If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it.
Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+
It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

I remember a story from an episode of the Comedy Button that Dan was on about Dan double fisting Bud Lights at E3 and press events. Now that E3 is dead, this is the logical next step.
sumo wrestler is handed a giant bottle of soy sauce
This looks like I made it with AI but no, when the sumo wrestler won the big tournament today at the Royal Albert Hall he was gifted a gigantic bottle of soy sauce.
oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened
Let’s have some just retired Mitoryū love. 🤗
When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks. "We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges. "When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.
Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔

Ditched Duolingo the moment they said they were considering AI & have not missed it.
For anyone learning #Japanese who wants a good web & app resource, I HIGHLY recommend renshuu.org . It has done more to help me brush up on an maintain my Japanese ability than Duolingo could ever dream. 😎👍🏼

I can let you know if there any extra tickets available from my community members. I assume for the September tournament?
Yeah. Osaka has a small venue and the tournament happens during peak tourist season in a tourist heavy city, bad combo for availability, yeah. Fukuoka is an underrated city at least! Great food and cheap accommodations.
BuySumoTickets is still around, but they've had to suspend tickets in Tokyo entirely. They now recommend Fukuoka (the November location) and Nagoya (the July one) as the best way to get tickets from them for the foreseeable future.
Yep! The one such event I can tell you about is that some couple brought their receipts to the gate and tried to use them as a ticket. They were refused and threw a temper tantrum and caused quite a ruckus. Quite a no-no in Japanese culture. They were too stupid to see the sumo.
Sorry Jess! I saw your original post about wanting sumo tickets, and usually would have recommended a 3rd party vendor that was incredible. But they've been banned by the JSA because 3 people that they sold tickets to caused issues at events. So now, we can't easily get tickets anymore. :(
THIS IS HUGE! The FIRST 100% effective HIV PrEP drug, Lenacapavir, is APPROVED AND GOING GLOBAL. The makers are providing AFFORDABLE access to the drug in the United States AND beyond, signing ROYALTY-FREE licensing agreements with SIX generic manufacturers to produce AND supply it.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: "The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!" And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.
The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.
