At least in the US, it is used almost exclusively in a racial context. I know that is not how you were using it, but that is the connotation it gives.

I don’t know why anyone would care about a TV show reference, but you might want to remove “uppity” from your lexicon.

I had like 2 friends back in my CS 1.6 days that insisted on Xfire, but I paid for a Mumble server shortly after that. Might self host one again…


Shit, I forgot avout Xfire. Mumble and Teamspeak are still going too


I’m so tired of this refrain. 49% of 64% of US voters voted for him, but even that is an oversimplification. The reality is that in some regions it is hard to vote. Waiting in line for hours. It is not a national holiday, so no pay for taking time off to wait in line. Polls often have limited times, and people in the US work too much just to stay alive. And that does not even take into account electoral college bullshit. The right has done so much to make voting hard or even impossible for some.
The US is vast and diverse, which makes hand waving dismissals like this even more frustrating.


Yeah, there is that. There is also the fact that even going to the source I cannot find the actual study/data. No idea the sample size, method, or even list if questions. Mostly this feels like clickbait from PC Gamer.


By the time the Cybertruck came out we knew what Elon was. This is not about all Teslas on the road. The article is, but the comment was specifically about Cybertrucks


Based on the username might just be an annoying troll


Also see a lot in the Seattle area. Plenty of suckers in any given population center


It does not for me.
Adding more to your point, voter turnout was 64%, so less than half of less than two-thirds of registered voters voted for him.


Altman already has plenty of mud on him.


Yup, it sucks. I found out right before i was about to pay for their speech to text keyboard, so doged that.


Remeber folks, the people at FUTO are fascists.

Fair. Did not know about the nuance, but in this case it was mostly just pointing out the BBC was not being callous.


Does anyone outside the Brits use it though? All this tells you is they are not from the UK


That is just the British term for being laid off/fired.


No voice, video, or game streaming in IRC though
This is probably just confirmation bias. The list of games they have worked on is pretty small in the large scheme of games (1-4 a year with the exception of 2023). A lot of the games are enjoyed by the wider gaming audience (Alan Wake 2, God of War Ragnarok, Sable, etc). Most of the ones that are bad (like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League) are bad because of things outside the part SBI took in the game.
The wikipedia page has a lot of good info on the nontroversies plus a list of games they have been involved in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Baby_Inc.
