Here's how we handle manchildren on the Steam forums at No More Robots:

Also, he keeps describing himself as being at war with people in his own country

I find the implied cyclical or eternal-recurrence narrative of the Zelda games one of the most interesting things about them, all the more so because it probably is not actually a conscious narrative decision by the makers so much as a byproduct of the way they tell the stories they want to.

"First, videos that suck are the future. If I could make a video that sucks this much in one hour, imagine how hard I could make something suck in two hours, or even three."

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

Everyone I know who did an apprenticeship is now, e.g., a glazier or a painter-decorator. These are fine professions and, speaking as a totally impractical person, ones I am glad exist. Is Britain's main problem that we don't... have enough glaziers?

Apprenticeships! In... something! But not in any of our successful industries, that'd be unBritish!

Boosting this one because the Leader of the Opposition in a country with highly successful and profitable HE and culture industries thinks we should do less of that and more ???????????

Has to be said that large numbers of the establishment/elite in the UK have been radicalised to the point where they are living in an alternate universe

Mostly in the Science of Discworld, IIRC, but also some of the later Rincewind ones, when the Wizards as a group have become more prominent

I actually wrote on this very topic about

It's the Unseen University's computer, created by Ponder Stibbons, powered by ants!

He did computers (well, one computer) with Hex. But yeah, I suppose he might've gotten on to personal computing eventually

There's a certain social liberalism which at times is expressed as a clear anti-racist narrative (explicitly in Jingo!). But the Patrician is still an *actual* patrician, a member of a hereditary aristocracy. Then there's King Verence and the Low King of the Dwarfs

He also made a speech to the 2008 Conservative Party conference, albeit the subject matter was not especially ideological www.theguardian.com/politics/200...

Huge fan of GK Chesterton, often mocked leftie activist types, depicted various benevolent dictatorships as good models of governance... Yeah, I don't get *overwhelming* leftist vibes from Discworld

Not exactly shocking that she enjoys the work of the guy who was the UK's bestselling author for much of her life, is it?

once again the only thing anyone wants these AI bots to do they are 100% incapable of. oh but hey here's an answer to a different question that doesn't in any way answer the question asked, you're welcome! courtesy of @jotform.com

A thread of inspirational quotes from two of my idols: Kemi Badenoch and Ange Postecoglou

I think that he's like Boris Johnson, in that there's no way he *actually wants* the *actual job* of being PM. He's just had too many people tell him he'd be a good PM and lacks the reflective capacity to go, 'Hang on, no I wouldn't'

Must be some of this. Just one anecdotal example, but the only guy I know my age who was an actual member of the Conservative party (and in fact worked for a Tory MP during the Coalition) is now a Lib Dem

We are deeply concerned by reports of a violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester today. We unequivocally condemn this act of violence.
