If you haven't watched Clarkson's Farm it's worth a watch. Has the classic Clarkson charm, while he fucks up farming, and fights with the retarded local br*t*sh government.

@Null BUH-ming-um, you Limey hater.
I do have a fun (imo) story about this, though.
In the mid 90s I was working as a temp for a label compliance worker at Marks & Spencer (aka Marks and Sparks) HQ on Baker Street (yes, that Baker Street) for a week.
Being an American temp, the Limeys who worked there mostly ignored me, but one day I heard them on the other side of my cubicle talking about Birmingham, Alabama, for some reason, but they were pronouncing the name of the city in the Limey fashion.
Acutely aware of how they like to correct us Yanks who pronounce "Leicester" ("Lester") as "Lie-chester" or whatever, I seized the opportunity and I calmly stood up and announced: "I think you mean 'BURR-ming-ham"' in my native Southern accent, and sat back down.
The humorless fucks didn't even react. I like Limeys in general, but at work they can be douches.

Since I'm hanging around I'll add this: like you, Null, I don't utterly hate Jeremy (though his video on Douglas Murray today was retarded), but I had some Amazon points and bought his blueberry-flavored K-cups. They were OK, but not worth twice the price of normal K-Cups. Plus, I prefer non-fruity coffee.
Do not recommend (for the current price).
Will try to find Cafe Bustelo.

It is actually not possible that every single flavor of coffee Hambly is offering has 4.5-5 star reviews. Every brand has a few stinkers, that’s part of the game. I can’t find one product that has any mid or bad reviews. He’s obviously anxious which is why he isn’t being smart - fake reviews and adding a shitload of products to your catalogue without an established customer base. I can’t find the $40 freeze dried strawberries PPP and Warski were talking about.
I’ll have to join the Locals for your coffee review Jewsh. It’d be interesting to get a funky flavor and a normal one. Tax write off?

Me over here, raised Catholic, suddenly remembering that Lent is already almost over because the boss of my favorite hassposting site is doing a no coffee challenge apparently.

fuck yeah it is
I am BRUTALLY sober right now. No coffee, 1200kcal a day on average (alt fasting), no carbonated drinks. I'm living 100% in reality and I am in anguish.

I switched over to seltzer a long while back, and it's so refreshing. 2L bulk bottles can get you through a day.

Josh got the story behind the red adidas at Hax’s funeral wrong. The origin behind the red Adidas is that Hax had worn red adidas pants when he beat Leffen in a tournament. Leffen apparently then started to wear red adidas around Hax as part of his Light Yagami totalitarian manipulation. Hax’s mom told people to wear red Adidas presumably to try to take back the symbol from Leffen and to instead be a reminder of his victory. I also think that he got Mew2king confused with Leffen because Mew2king was friends with Hax and was the one who was at his funeral that Josh was talking about.

I don’t know, I feel like the problem is exactly that he fucked up and power leveled his fucked up fetishes to his daughters. Like that’s where the damage is.
not to sound like a pretentious Redditor but this is going to be at most, equally psychologically harmful as any kind of hardcore pornography which I’m assuming you’d feel the same way about.
If it was something gay like cross dressing or furries they probably wouldn’t be having to consider if they suppressed being molested as kids. “Dad likes wearing a dress” is a psychologically survivable realization. “Dad is an incestrous pedo” is not. It doesn’t matter how you figure it out. Especially if that’s your only major male figure.

My friends, arguing about the probably fakebait reddit post regarding the megacoomer dad who is maybe also a serial rapist is not a good use of our time.
Or whatever, have at it. I'm not your dream-rapist dad nor your oversharing and possibly BPD mother, so I can't tell you what to do.

Listening to the stream VOD now, but since Josh asked I will answer this question.
As @The President of Nintendo my hype for the Switch 2 is now at zero. I will explain why.
Now I need to correct one small thing, the Switch 2 release date has not been delayed, only the opening of preorders is delayed. They were supposed to go live on April 9th but due to the tariff situation they were delayed in the US and Canada and a new date has not yet been set. The Switch 2 is either $450 by itself or $500 with Mario Kart World. There is speculation the price might increase due to the tariffs, but that has yet to be seen.
Now $450 dollars is a fair chunk of change, but not really too far outside of expectations for new hardware. What people are more angry about is that in addition to the price of the hardware, Nintendo is also trying to raise the base prices of their games and accessories across the board as well.
For context, since the release of PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S, the price of your average major release has been $70. With the reveal of the Switch 2, it has been revealed Nintendo will be trying to charge $80 for their first party titles, most notably Mario Kart World. Even worse, and this may not be the case, the $80 price point may be for a digital purchase with the physical version being $90. A new Switch 2 pro controller is $80 and a new set of joycons is $90. Even worse, the new Joycons won't even have hall effect joysticks, which means they will still be prone to developing stick drift. Nintendo was sued over the large number of defective Joycons developing stick drift and extended repair warranties for stick drift as a result. Additionally, several Switch 1 games are getting Switch 2 updates to increase their resolution and frame rate.... which Nintendo will be charging $10 for. The most egregious example is the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, a late WiiU and Switch 1 launch title, will require not only the $10 to upgrade to the Switch 2 version but ALSO requires you to purchase the season pass if you want the post launch DLC. If you buy the native Switch 2 version, released at a full $70 price tag, you still have to purchase the DLC for the full experience. The full power of the MOTHERFUCKING MASTER SWORD is locked behind paid DLC. Oh, there is also a tech demo you can download for your Switch 2 which shows off some of the consoles features.... that you have to pay for.
Another huge issue is that even if you buy a "physical version" of a game, it may simply be a "game key card" which will allow you to download all the game files off the internet with no actual game data on the cartridge itself. Unlike a traditional digital download, the "game key card" needs to be inserted into the system for the downloaded game to work. While this will allow you to transfer a "digital" purchase to another person (in theory), once the online download servers go down you will essentially own a useless piece of plastic. Nintendo has a notoriously bad track record when it comes to maintaining customer access to digital titles from legacy hardware.
Essentially, the Switch 2 is shaping up to be the single most anti-consumer-friendly release by Nintendo to date. Not only will the games on the Switch 2 be outrageously, expensive and excessively monetized, but it will set a precedent that other large game publishers are sure to follow leading to higher prices across the board for all games. It isn't about tariffs either, because these excessive prices are being implemented even in countries where the tariffs will not be in effect. This is pure fucking greed.
And the most pathetic thing about all this is, because it's Nintendo, they will probably get away with it. They always get a fucking pass because good old Nintendo could do no wrong and there are enough nigger-cattle-retards that will simply bend over and take that big old Nintendick right up the ass.
I could go on, but I think that covers most of my issue with the Switch 2 specifically. Nintendo as an entity in general... don't get me started. I'm pretty much full on Nintendo alog at this point.
And @Null - the Switch Legend of Zelda games (Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom) both suck ass. I am willing to die in this hill. Mario Odyssee and Mario Wonder are both quite good though. They can both be emulated for free, at your leisure.

Depends on the steam game. Some of them automatically sync your saves to the steam's servers whereas others don't, sometimes its automatic and some are opt-in. Even some of the popular games on Steam like Terraria require you to opt-in through the in game settings if memory serves me right whereas others do it automatically.

Be mindful that carbonation in drinks is present in the form of carbonic acid. It's a weak acid, but drinking it all day will take a toll on your teeth and puts a very small strain on your kidneys. Its wise to rinse down carbonated drinks with some plain water to wash the acid off your teeth.

This is the way to go. Seltzer is legit really good and works as a good substitute for soda.
If you need to you can even add a little bit of juice to it as well. (low calorie cranberry works good).
i mean, technically true. but it's nowhere near the same league as soda, or even coffee.

I have been scallops maxing for lent since I'm a poor fag. Little bit of salt and pepper while I cook them and they end up tasting really good, I think I prefer them over regular salmon.
