I’ve listened to it a few times now and, despite the snobbery of the cool intellectuals here I’m not ashamed to say I like it, and the video

Is there any suspicion that he’s just waiting to leave and doesn’t really want to be in the squad?

Can’t really grumble about the result. Leeds likely to be in and around at the end of season I’d expect. Our sluggish lack of ambition at the start of the second half cost us. More worryingly, we do seem susceptible to a more intense press, and our passing game folds as it did against Liverpool. Can’t win them all. The Championship title might not be the walk in the park that we’d started to believe.

Overall I think we gave a good as we got with a few scares here and here. Might be a controversial point, but much as I love him and everything he’s done, it might be best if Vardy wasn’t first choice any more. His pace is negated by the way we play to some extent, and probably isn’t what it was anyway. He doesn’t get too involved with the general passing around/buildup which probably isn’t really a strong point anyway. That leaves his poaching which doesn’t seem as effective as it used to be. Having said that, with Vards he could easily go on a run a score a few, so who knows? Hopefully Maresca. Don’t think Casedai is quite there yet either. Both our wingers are look sharp.

He always does the trumpet part so well. So many times I’ve heard it ballsed up.

😂 Difficult to know the outcome really, but some sort of social control of big tech, industry, etc surely, or we’ll be back to feudal times, but without the peasantry really having a role, or way of making a living.

Personally I prefer Free as a Bird, which i actually quite liked despite it not being universally acclaimed. Perhaps I just need to listen to Now and Then a bit more.

I know it wasn’t what you meant but the physical jobs like tradies, etc are likely to be the last to be replaced. That will require actual robots, that are likely to be a more distant phase 2.

Why are these people referred to as settlers, not land thieves, thugs and terrorists?

Aside from all the apocalypse stuff, I think there is a very real danger that administrators will very soon come to rely on AI and we risk a “computer says no” type dystopia in decision making. For a few years under the last government here in Australia we had a system in social security that was nicknamed RoboDebt. The system was programmed to work out what it thought people who had claimed social security of one sort or another, owed due to them having been paid “too much” due to their earnings during the claim period. As far as I know it wasn’t billed as AI, just a plain old algorithm that was hopeless flawed (and as it turned out actually illegal), foisted on the vulnerable by a government devoted to caring for the rich and crushing the poor. Many people pointed out problems with the system, but it wrought untold suffering on vulnerable people presented with huge debts that they could never repay. Several committed suicide. What will happen when AI gets involved? We’ll likely have these sort of systems by default. The decision making process of an AI will probably be extremely opaque. It isn’t like an old fashioned piece of code that has a logic flaw that can be corrected by a programmer through inspection and testing. No doubt it can be retrained, but mostly the administrators designing the rules of the system won’t understand how it arrived at any particular decision and will be more likely to trust the AI than any reasoning. It will be beyond the capability of most victims to get decisions overturned. Will we be able to argue or reason with an AI in the same way as with an administrator on the phone? And I’m not just talking about social security, what about tax? Mortgage and loan applications? Practically anything that requires quite complex evaluation of circumstances. You have been warned!

Just got an email from YouTube saying my family subscription is going up from $22.99 to $32.99!!

Sentences sound rather light to me

What term?

Of course some people will have found it funny and others not. As you say, comedy is highly subjective and different individuals/generations/cultures/groups of people will typically have very different perceptions of humour. To simply declare something not funny as if it were absolute fact rather than a personal opinion is just plain daft (IMO).

My wife tells me that they are too upset to comment but I don’t know if she’s read something or just a guess She usually seems to know about this sort of thing though

To you

That’s another one I’m worried about

I thought it was a bit odd when some people seemed to be turning their noses up at signing a full England international, but assumed they must know what they’re on about. Do you really think we’ll be able to hang on to him, even if we do get promotion?

Matildas giving the Philippines a hiding. 5-0 up at half time. Olympic qualifier.

Watched the whole friends series again just recently and thought how well it stood up. So sad about Perry. So talented. They actually had a noticeable effect on the English language I’d say.

Have to play much better than against QPR

Ropey tired performance. Glad to get the points. QPR did much better than most were expecting, particularly down to 10 for the last 20, but we were pretty average, at least by recent standards.

Glad to get the points and piss off out of there

They need to fire the cvnts who are doing the broadcasting, then fire the cvnt who contracted them, then fire the cvnt who hired him!

Sloppy and complacent. Potential banana skin. Hopefully they’ll fire up the afterburners in the second half.
