I hadn’t really noticed this, perhaps in hindsight you’re correct. Can you be more specific?

Gareth in The Office was pervy/racist who pretty much needed the abuse to prevent him making other’s lives hell.

With Maggie in Extras I saw it as a best friend banter type thing. The piss taking was done in private and came across in jest.

If you’re referring to Karl Pilkington, I think he new what he signed up for, was playing an exaggerated version of himself for comedic effect and made a lot of money in doing so.

When Derek came out I couldn’t get past the obvious, pretty much where I stopped following his material.

Pets are usually provided with everything they ever need by their owners so they have little reason to show their brutal side.

Still a strange take IMO.

Bad individual human behaviour often pales into insignificance when contrasted with wild animal behaviour.

Unless you count the ongoing ecocide we as a collective are in the midst of enacting…

As a massive fan of his older work, I was disappointed to see he has since turned his hand to creating transphobic jokes in his more recent material.

Also find it a bit weird that he consistently proclaims how much he loves animals more than most humans.

Chuck some cheese sauce on that cauliflower, add some stuffing and we’re getting there…

Suddenly this hummus I’m eating for lunch doesn’t quite cut the mustard. Actually on that note, include some mustard in the cauliflower cheese pls.

Oblivious fact: Me

Fun fact: Roasting meat alone does not a Sunday roast make.

Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…

But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.

By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

Yeah never got this. The nation’s favourite dish is curry. My favourite dish is curry. Isn’t it a running joke amongst Indians how much the Brits love curry?

Things like beans on toast and fish finger sandwiches are cheap and easy lunch snacks for students but not our actual diet.

Cavity protection ain’t gonna cut it where they’re going.

Probably because it’s down. I for one am surprised they have no failover for when Bing goes down.

✅ Math is hard

❌ This math is hard

Nah it’s just SFA with extra steps.

That’s why I mentioned those other console exclusive features. Anyway the original point was about cost and I think the Series X was the best value for money at launch this gen…

• Half the price of building a similar PC at launch.

• Rewards are higher on console so recoup the cost more than PC.

• I use Game Pass on both PC and Xbox with a single account to play multiplayer so cheaper on that front.

We’re half way through the generation now though. PC parts have got cheaper, Game Pass Ultimate conversion ratio has dropped and rewards are drying up so probably wouldn’t advocate it anymore. PC likely to be better value next gen.

I always gamed predominantly on PC but this generation I did the maths as PC parts had become over-inflated so decided to give console a try. I still think it was a decent decision for this generation…

Game Pass can be had waaaaaay cheaper than that and you can get it all back and more in rewards points.

I spent £450ish on the console at launch including controller and a game. Equivalent GPU was £500 or more at the time.

Spent £150ish on Game Pass sub from November 2020 to July 2026 which has allowed me to play countless games I never would have bought outright.

I’ve made over £700 back in vouchers with over 2 years left to accumulate more. Spent half of it on games, and controllers, headset, etc. all of which I can use on my PC. Plan on saving the remaining vouchers to put towards my next PC build.

This is without mentioning other console benefits like low maintenance, Quick Resume and the fact I can use one copy of a game to play with two players online.

And again…

You’ve just copied my arguments yet again.

Seek help, your projections are concerning.

You don’t really have one lol. You’ve read too many pop-sci articles from AI proponents and haven’t understood any of the underlying tech.

All your retorts boil down to copying my arguments because you seem to be incapable of original thought. Therefore it’s not surprising you believe neural networks are approaching sentience and consider imitation to be the same as intelligence.

You seem to think there’s something mystical about neural networks but there is not, just layers of complexity that are difficult for humans to unpick.

You argue like a religious zealot or Trump supporter because at this point it seems you don’t understand basic logic or how the scientific method works.

Once again not offering any sort of valid retort, just claiming anyone that disagrees with you doesn’t understand the field.

I suggest you take a cursory look at how to argue in good faith, learn some maths and maybe look into how neural networks are developed. Then study some neuroscience and how much we comprehend the brain and maybe then we can resume the discussion.
