I mean honestly he's real for this. I hate the guy but it takes a certain amount of integrity and conviction to be honest here, especially in his position
Genuinely fucking ridiculous
A striker wins the Ballon d'Or and doesn't make the World XI with 4 forwards lol
0 defenders from the best defence in the world
Swap:
* Haaland for Kane
* Rodri for Rice
* Messi for Gabriel
* Cubarsi for Saliba (optional)
And it's a perfect team

What is this English ethnicity that "simply exists"? The Saxons? The Normans? Did you know that the term English was applied to the low-born who were ruled after the Norman conquest? Did the English know that they were English before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries?
I know this is Twitter and that everything goes. It so happens that there are people who have devoted their whole career to the study of these issues too here, so I suggest you read a few history books before making absurd claims on an eternal English essence. I can suggest a reading list if you want.

What I've come to believe is a large portion of the population thinks that simply considering abstract examples about human behavior is a sign of immorality. If you give them a trolley problem, they wonder why you think it's okay to kill people.

May this clip never die. Before the verdict. Before Pep left. Before Rodri left. And the country wanted Man City to 'save football'
Rot in national league & give Klopp / Arteta their titles

“2000s lad culture” was not in fact wearing high heeled boots, skinny jeans, jewellery, eyeliner, and hairspray while trying to start a global love revolution based off having skim read Noam Chomsky. Brand was of course specifically supported as an alternative vision of manliness to lad culture by the Sensibles of the day.

The sad irony of this is:
- the Leeds data centre is estimated to create 1,000+ jobs across the region
- its water needs are roughly equivalent to 5 moderately busy car washes
- and... it will use rainwater gathering, so a decent chunk of water needs are covered anyway
Objecting to it essentially makes the region poorer, for no real gain.

Since this moment Arsenal have played 15 Premier League games, winning 14, conceding only 6.
42 points out of a possible 45.
To say there is a better manager in the Premier League right now than Arteta is laughable.

The really funny thing about City fans dressing as bananas in a weird show of defiance about their club being found guilty of the biggest cheating scandal English football has seen, is when they lose they are filmed standing there looking really angry while dressed as bananas.

It is going to be very controversial if Arsenal do not win this game against Hull.
Kai Havertz should have got a VAR penalty regardless of the offside. #ARSHUL

The thing about Russel Brand (and a few similar men) is that his original 2000s “glam rock” act:
….Flamboyant, androgynous, gender fluid coded, but heterosexual hypomanic, joking not joking, cheeky and sexual but linguistically coded as ultra progressive feminist aligned left wing rebel….
Screams “sexual predator” social engineering for access to men but for some reason codes as high status safe horny with women. It has done since Byron and this latest scandal won’t change it. Peacocking with a cover story works:

Everyone is talking about Woke 1 and Woke 2. This is too intellectual and too American, most British people do have an ideology. The only way to see the general 'mood' is to look at 'twee', the moral and aesthetic assumptions of 70% of the country

Some people are still years behind
My friend asked me to use their claude account and just "try" it, just once, opus 5.5 on xhigh effort. i would be "amazed".
fine, i gave in. I have it one simple task. refactor some of my code that was manged sql in services and generic repos i created into a simple clean slice
controller -> service -> repo -> dao
I gave it all it needed, i gave it even reference code from my other repos on how the architecture should be, i even started in `plan` mode.
45 mins later (i could have done this in 20), it created the result, it was fucking.... AWFUL!
It basically took my service layer, and shoved ALL service code into the DAO itself. when i questioned it, it admitted that it is not a real DAO.
it said
> Your rules say to keep structure when moving code
I have no such rules, i installed this app TODAY
> I fixed each complaint and never checked the whole
yeh, no fucking shit.
It knew that it was bad design but did it anyway.
This is exactly my point here. if you do not CHECK the code it makes deeply and follow it through in an IDE or something, you can be committing shit.
If you do not understand the code, do not understand the architecture, etc... it can work just fine. these vibecoders have no idea.
Not only that, but I have 2 daos
one for in memory, one for sqlite. the service layer that should be responsable for taking the SearchParams, splitting it up, parsing, aggigating data, creating the DTO, etc... was REPEATED exactly, in BOTH the sqlite DAO and the in memory DAO instead of putting it in the service layer once and then the DAO just deals with getting data.
so there, all those AI bros who try convince me to "just try it once", I did, It was shit.
Oh and it decided to keep the whole of the old `/store` code and mix it for zero reason.
Remember, Opus 5.5 said this was COMPLETE and WORKING.
Yes it worked, but it also butt fucked my codebase SO fucking hard that i reverted every single change it made and did it myself in about the same time as it did it all but now it's actually correct.
Oh and it decided instead of using a self join, to create a whole complex `BuildInteractionIndex`
