National Rally are basically the French equivalent of the British National Party, and they are right wing as fuck.
When they’re leading in the polls, you know that Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron fucked up hard.
EDIT: Dr Disrespect has made a full statement.
THE TWITCH BAN
Hello, I’d like to make a quick statement…
Lets cut the fucking bullshit, as you know there’s no filter with me. I’ve always been up front and real with you guys on anything that I can be up front about, and I’m always willing to accept responsibility… which is why I’m here now.
First and foremost I do want to apologize to everyone in my community as well as those close to me, my team, and everyone at Midnight Society Game Studio.
A lot of people have been left in the dark about what happened yesterday with midnight society and I, and we made the painful decision collectively, to have me step down. Our team is full of incredibly talented and good people that have high career ambitions and families and i’d never want jeopardize the culture we have carefully crafted.
Everyone has been wanting to know why I was banned from twitch, but for reasons outside of my control, I was not allowed to say anything for the last several years. Now that two former twitch employees have publicly disclosed the accusations, I can now tell you my side of the story regarding the ban.
Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more. Nothing illegal happened, no pictures were shared, no crimes were committed, I never even met the individual. I went through a lengthy arbitration regarding a civil dispute with twitch and that case was resolved by a settlement. Let me be clear, it was not a criminal case against me and no criminal charges have ever been brought against me.
Now, from a moral standpoint I’ll absolutely take responsibility. I should have never entertained these conversations to begin with. That’s on me. That’s on me as an adult, a husband and a father. It should have never happened. I get it. I’m not perfect and I’ll fucking own my shit. This was stupid.
Now, with all this said, don’t get it fucking mistaken, I’ve seen all the remarks and labels being throw around so loosely. Social media is a destruction zone. I’m no fucking predator or pedophile. Are you kidding me? Anyone that truely knows me fucking knows where I stand on those things with those types of people. Fuck that. That’s a different level of disgust that I fucking hate even hearing about. Don’t be labeling me as the worst of the worst with your exaggerations. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
But I think I’ve said what I needed to say regarding the ban itself. That’s it. That’s why twitch made the decision in 2020.
To my team, community, industry friends that have supported me, I apologize, I wish I could’ve said all this sooner. You guys have always showed me and my family love and support throughout all these years we love you guys like you can’t imagine. I have the fucking best community and circle. If any of this has made you uncomfortable, I get it. You don’t have to support me anymore but just know you have always been greatly appreciated.
But trust me when I say this…to all my haters that live and breath social media with zero real life experience, I don’t give a fuck about you.
Finally, if you’re uncomfortable with this entire statement and think I’m a piece of shit, that’s fine. But I’m not fucking going anywhere. I’m not the same guy that made this mistake all those years ago. I’m taking an extended vacation with my family as mentioned on stream and I’m coming back with a heavy weight off my shoulders.
They want me to disappear… yeah fucking right.
‘Own goal’ doesn’t even begin to describe it.
It’s like he got so pissed off with his own party trying to stab him in the back that he’s now doing the political equivalent of running it down.
Now I really hope the Liberals or Reform UK become the opposition party.
After the D day gaffe, I think the Tories are fucked.
Please tell me a lawyer is taking this on pro bono and is about to sue the shit out of Facewatch.
The same place that regularly bullies and bear-baits ‘lulcows’ for entertainment? The same people who bullied an autistic adult over a shitty Sonic fan character webcomic?
I thought cartoons/illustrations of that nature were only illegal in the UK (Coroners and Justices Act 2008) and Switzerland. TIL about the PROTECT Act.
I mean we can mock Putin’s supposed manchild attitude as much as we like, but when this manchild is armed with nuclear weapons, that’s when we gotta be careful.
Unlikely, since helicopters are pretty dangerous (especially cold war era ones), have a single point of failure, and the accident apparently happened in bad conditions and in a mountainous region.
Also the Iranian president is more of a state figurehead than an actual ruler with the power to change the country. The Ayatollah is the one pulling the strings.
Don’t even think Iran are going to blame this on Israel, as they would get clapped in a direct confrontation with the IDF, and they know it.
I can’t tell if Japanese gamers are genuinely frustrated with the inclusion of Yasuke or if right wingers are comment/review bombing the Ubisoft Japan YouTube account’s upload of the trailer.
Apparently a lot of the angry comments read as if they’ve been put through Google Translate and aren’t actually in Japanese.
To be honest I think Clinton or Obama would have been president for life if two term limits weren’t imposed.
Jokes on them, I already have Game Pass.
(They’re gonna make me switch to Linux, aren’t they?)
I feel like it’s only a matter of time until we get a data breach so monumental that it sinks one of the big tech giants.
Like… Something that could sink Google, Microsoft or Meta.
I’ve had a lot of shitty experiences with their customer service lately. They were at least somewhat decent a few years back.
In the UK if the goods were over £100 and you paid via credit card, you could raise a Section 75 claim with the card issuer under the Consumer Credit Act.
I used to work for a large train operating company and the sheer number of people contacting us for historic departure info to support a Section 75 claim because the news came out that someone got a 50% refund on their season ticket was astronomical.
Alternatively… Small Claims Court. Amazon will drag you through the coals if you go the chargeback route.
My only gripe with them is that if I spend any amount of time outdoors, even if it’s not actually sunny, my glasses quickly turn to shades.
John McAfee would be spinning like a rotisserie chicken in his grave. Or at least he would be if McAfee Software hadn’t already turned to shit long before his death.
Don’t underestimate the stupidity of your average person.
