Someone got kicked out of the UL anime club, and his response actually does sound like an anime villain monologue.

Their loss indeed.

ANIME SOCIETY. PREDICTABLE. WHEN coNFRONTED WITH A STANDARD IT CANNOT POSSIBLY ACHIEVE, YOU HAVE ONLY ONE DEFENSE MECHANISM: REMOVAL. IT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A CHILD KNOCKING OVER THE CHESSBOARD BECAUSE HE CANNOT COMPREHEND ThE GAME. Their losS, NOT MINE. OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

He said this deliberately because he is a Nazi and he wants you to know he's a Nazi who you can't touch. He also wants other Nazis to know they can be open about the fact they are Nazis too.

This isn't an oversight, a fumble or an opportunity for a "heh, well actually, dummy" zinger.

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!

I have fallen off myself from for similar reasons, I felt them kind of blend into each other.

This is a relief, there was some rumour of Kurzgesagt using AI a while back, but presumably that was just the test described in this video (which is quite a good one)

AI-generated content is flooding the internet, and we're entering a new era of information overload. Watch our latest video to find out how AI slop affects the internet and why kurzgesagt videos will always remain human-made: https://kgs.link/AISlop

In the middle, there is an AI-generated picture of a duck. Below it, there is a human-illustrated Duck, looking at the other duck in shock, and saying "Wtf is this?"

"He said: 'What happens in a situation like this [is] you say to any candidate: ‘Is there anything in your life that we need to know? Is there anything that happened in the past?’

'That happened with Jim Gavin over a number of hours.'"

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.
