Hey everyone, this is an announcement I really didn't want to make. Unfortunately nurgle's rot (the flu) has struck our house and everyone is really quite sick*. Both to not infect anyone else, and because I'm very much not capable of streaming right now, I'm not going to be hosting the Jingle Jam quiz stream this year. This is the first Jingle Jam quiz I will have missed in (I think) 7 years, and I'm really quite gutted about it. The quiz is always a highlight of my year, and apart from being a great fundraiser it's a ton of fun. Fortunately the show will still go ahead, with hosting split between Boba and Harry. I wish them and all the tech team the best of luck. I know they'll do a cracking job and if I feel up to it, I'll be watching the stream with everyone else. ❤️ * fortunately pixel baby is over the worst of it, leaving us two sick adults to look after a newly-energised toddler 🥲
An email that reads: You climate alarmists are insufferable, insisting everyone follow YOUR lifestyle. Setting us all up for global totalitarianism, all for the gods of "net zero". How about you go fuck yourself, mmm-kay? carbon footprints are not going to be reduced, they will be increased in defiance! This is WAR buddy! many of us do not want your restrictive low carbon lifestyle, and find the pushing of it to be offensive. t is economicalyl destructive, and it's goal is ONLY to collapse ther western world, you fucking TRAITOR!!! We are nto going to fucking do it buddy, the net zero agenda. We are going to push back, and push back HARD motherfucker! Fuck off, greenie!

a meme comparing the reaction of "normal people" and "youtubers" to the statement "your video is 10/10!". The normal person treats this as positive news, interpreting 10/10 to be a rating of quality. The youtuber treats this as deeply negative news, interpreting 10/10 to be a measure of the video's performance relative to their 10 most recent uploads.
