"Diablo Immortal Can Go To Hell | Castle Super Beast Clips"




I mean, (Activision) Blizzard is a dumbfuck company who has been making dumbfuck decisions for the past fifteen years now, so it doesn't surprise me that they almost made yet another dumbfuck decision. Honestly, if anything about it does surprise me, it's that they didn't actually go all the way through with it.

In any case, as far as I'm concerned, the whole of Activision Blizzard can go to hell.

Really, the probably truest reason this idea was shot down was, as one of the comments said, someone probably nominated "Bobby Kotick can go to hell," and it got upvoted by everyone else, and Activision execs (maybe Bobby himself) got butthurt and shut the whole thing down.

(The "diablo iii" tag is my de facto "blizzard sucks" tag, but I'm not changing that shit now, after all these years.)

"'Star Wars' calls out racism after attacks on Moses Ingram"

Wait, you mean that Star Wars creators dared to cast a non-white and/or non-male (both, in this case) actor in something Star Wars related? Well, shit, it's no wonder that the racist, misogynist, dumbfuck segment of the Internet (a very, very large segment indeed) had a poo-flinging tantrum over it, as they are forever wont to do. I mean, it seems like it's pretty much a Pavlovian response for those fucksticks at this point.

Marking stories as "Fewer stories like this" on the Google News Android app...

...it doesn't fucking work. I don't know how many times I've marked "Johnny Depp," "Amber Heard," "Depp v. Heard," "Celebrities," and other such tags in the "What do you want less of?" thing that pops up whenever I click the "Choose Why" thing that pops up after clicking the "Fewer stories like this" thing in response to some dumbshit story or other that appears in my phone's Google News app. (And that's assuming it even gives a "Choose why" option, which it doesn't always do.) It has to be in the hundreds by now. And yet, not a single day has gone by during the past few months that Google news hasn't shown me at least half a dozen stories about that shit. They make you jump through fucking hoops to mark that shit as stuff you don't want to see, and then they don't even honor it when you do. And that's just one, single example among dozens of similar instances where I've marked things as "don't show me that fucking shit, god damn," and yet it continues to show me that fucking shit, god damn.

It's like the "Ignore" function on Steam for publisher pages, or the similar "Show less of this" shit on Twitter (i.e. one bullet point on the huge list of bullet points for why I finally deactivated my Twitter account) and also Facebook (see previous parentheses, but replace "Twitter" with "Facebook"). If nobody is going to honor that shit, then why do they even bother to give users the option? It's fucking asinine. Just fucking stop showing me the shit that I've told you not to show me, already.

"We're Running Out Of Water - SOME MORE NEWS"


"Hi. In today's episode, we discuss water and how everyone needs it but not everyone gets it, and like, I dunno, maybe that's bad."



Three consecutive videos that have involved Warmbo. Yes, Cody, Warmbo is indeed a "total waste of time." *weary sigh*

Also, could've done without Scott Bug (aka Cody doing A Bitâ„¢) showing up again, too. *weary sigh*

Anyway, this was episode #<insert really huge number here> of "The world is fucked. Good night. Goodbye."
