• that academic institutions are fraudulent and rotten to the core
• that Harvard tries to bully true free thinkers out of the institution while promoting conformists and sheep
• that people at Harvard have been suppressing his incredibly valuable ideas and played a role in other people taking credit for it
• that he observed the real culture behind the closed doors of elite universities, namely nepotism and the relevance of secret in-groups, detached from actual merit and contribution
• that peer review and the current system that's used to evaluate prestige in academia is completely broken

A typical case of 'have your cake and eat it too'. Eric has successfully exposed Harvard and Co, which makes him a valuable intellectual voice, but he also deserves praise for going to Harvard, said rotten-to-the-core institution, where it's not actually about merit.

These contradictions inevitably happen with grifters. It's almost the exact same with Peterson: The universities are ideologically obsessed breeding grounds for post-modern neo-Marxists and social sciences are non-scientific charlatan disciplines for leftist ideology, but Peterson being a university professor and writing psychology papers is proof of his competence.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

#Respect Drew Lipsky, aka Dr. Drakken

##"You think you're all that, but you're not!"

Drew Theodore P. Lipsky is the arch-nemesis of teen hero Kim Possible. Going by the alias Dr. Drakken, he spends his time coming up with insane schemes to take over the world with the aid of his snarky sidekick Shego. Despite claiming to be an evil genius, he often relies on stealing the technology of others to accomplish his goals instead of inventing or even buying his own due to his incompetence or cheapness.

If you've seen the fourth and final COVID special, you can probably guess the exact moment that the title is alluding to. But just in case you can't, I'll spell it out; it's the moment when we find out that, in the new timeline, Eric Cartman never changed or improved himself and ended up as a derelict alcoholic hobo. After browsing this sub and other fan communities, I can tell that this moment left a bad taste in a lot of viewers' mouths. I've seen several complaints that it was an unnecessary gut punch that put a damper on an otherwise heartwarming ending, or that Cartman didn't deserve to be stuck with such a terrible fate after doing something so noble.

But me? I thought the ending was wonderfully written, including that part. All I ask is that you hear me out.

First, let's look back at the prior special, South Park: Post COVID. In that special, we find out that Cartman - bizarrely enough - has changed for the better. After falling in love with a Jewish woman, he married her, converted to Judaism, became a rabbi and had three beautiful children. Kyle, of course, refuses to believe that any of this is genuine, and insists that Cartman is just trying to mess with him.

On one hand, it's implausible that someone would commit to an act for several decades just to troll one guy, but on the other hand... it's Cartman. Every time it looks like he's going to change his ways, it doesn't stick. Take, for instance, his ill-fated relationship with Heidi Turner in Seasons 20 and 21; not only did he revert to his old ways, but he dragged her down with him.

That, and the special throws in several details that arouse suspicion (his wife's name is Yentl, he doesn't pronounce "Torah" correctly, etc.). By the end, you're not really given a definitive answer on whether Kyle's suspicions are well-founded.

Then came The Return of COVID, which showed unequivocally that they were not. I kept waiting for Cartman to shed his mask and start laughing in his friends' faces for ever believing him, but the moment never came. Cartman did change, and shame on us for ever doubting him. He proves it when he goes back in time and saves Kyle's life, despite knowing that he was sacrificing his happy future with his wife and kids in the process.

Think about that for a second. This is the same character who used his inheritance money to buy his own personal amusement park, tricked Butters into locking himself in a bomb shelter just so he could go to Casa Bonita in his stead, and f

Kick Off ⏱

0’ The match is begun as Man City kicks off

3’ Bernardo Silva takes a shot which is off target, above goal

5’ Jesus fouls Ronaldo for the first United free kick

5’ Shaw crosses it into Maguire who’s header is just off target

7’ ⚽️OWN GOAL 0-1 Eric Bailly

13’ Not much happening for United, a lot of blue passes around the middle of the park.

20’ De Bruyne showing where United are struggling, he trips in the middle of the pitch while in possession and still has enough time to stand up and pass.

22’ Cancelo and De Bruyne link up dangerously in our final third but United does just enough to clear the ball for a corner

26’ Finally some confidence on the ball which results in a decent shot from Ronaldo

29’ Foden brings it forward and passes to de Bruyne who takes a shot which Dave saves. Jesus gets the rebound but it’s Dave again. Corner.

33’ A Foden shot almost results in a Lindelof own goal, but De Gea has it covered.

34’ De Bruyne takes a shot but Dave makes yet another extraordinary save

40’ Fernandes passes a nice through ball to Wan-Bissaka who links to an offside Ronaldo

45’ ⚽️GOAL 0-2 Bernardo Silva scores a stealthy goal. Shaw and De Gea both slow to react to it as it bounces off Dave and into the goal.

64’ Pretty quiet second half so far. United have looked better on the ball but still nothing to show for it.

67’ SUB Greenwood ➡️ Rashford

68’ Shaw is down on the ground, escorted off the pitch by medical staff. Telles warming up, but ultimately Shaw comes back on.

72’ Shaw goes down again walked off the pitch once more.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Some students seem to revert to regarding Otis like they did in the very early SE S01 episodes.

Otis Milburn in SE S01E07 is so popular and prominent that the dance floor was cleared so that Otis and Eric Effiong could have that dance.

Otis in SE S02E06 has a party and like the entire school shows up. He announces to the school that Maeve Wiley likes him and told him so and then he proceeds to tell off Maeve and Otis Nyman and says that he considers he deserves better. And then the school learns he had sex with Ruby.

Otis in SE S03 has been hooking up with Ruby and then becomes her seemingly first-ever actual boyfriend. And the school knows about this. And yet some students still seem to consider Otis unpopular and uncool. Even though Otis was even able to dress normally and still be an Untouchable. Ola calls him the Untouchable King.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

I’ve read nearly all of the comments people have been making regarding whether or not Cartman or Rabbi Cartman deserved being a homeless alcoholic at the end of “Return of Covid”, and I do understand where a lot of the people are coming from when saying the show “did him dirty”. But there were two rather conspicuous points that were absent from the dialogue.

Those overlooked points being Cartmans choices, and the actual motives of Kyle and Stan.

This is only my opinion, I’m probably wrong, but…

The TL;DR quick and dirty summary being that Kyle and Stan weren’t out to screw Rabbi Cartman over, and Cartman becoming a drunk hobo was as much a result of his decisions as becoming a Rabbi and family man was.

If you want the deep-dive rundown of my opinion, you can read below.

Everyone talks about how Kyle wanted to go back in time, yet the people posting sympathetic messages for Eric seem to accept Rabbi Cartmans POV that Kyle intended to go back SPECIFICALLY TO destroy Cartmans life and make it so he never meets his wife.

At no point did anyone in Stan and Kyles crew even mention Cartmans wife and children, seemingly only Rabbi Cartman thought of that particular scenario. None of that group seemed to be concerned with how going back in time could have negative consequences on their own lives, they were doing it seemingly without much concern on how it could affect them as individuals, they were more concerned with the “greater good”. Only Cartman made it about himself, almost immediately at that.

Stan, Kyle, Wendy, Token, Craig, Tweak, Jimmy all originally wanted to go back in time to STOP THE PANDEMIC. Once they realized they couldn’t stop the pandemic, they pivoted. They had already decided to go back, but now they were going back to save Kenny, and to keep him from bringing COVID back with him 40 years later.

While Stan seemed fairly unhappy, and his life kinda sucked, everyone else seemed to be just fine with how their life turned out. Wendy and Jimmy were very successful, Token seemed to have a good life, we heard no complaints from anyone else in that group about where they ended up in life, and none of them appeared to have given much consideration to how altering time could negatively impact the life they had made when faced with the decision to go back to stop COVID from returning. Only Rabbi Cartman seemed to care more about his life than the lives of literally everyone else on the planet.

Also, there was no guarantee that altering the ti

This week at Bungie, we start shaking up the sandbox.

Welcome to the TWAB. We’ve got a lot to cover today so I’m going to skip the small talk and get into it.

Yesterday, Assistant Game Director and mustache enthusiast Joe Blackburn went out on Twitter and talked about some our upcoming plans regarding Destiny 2 PVP.

>Ahead of the showcase this month, I wanted to take a little time to talk about Destiny PVP. > >— Joe Blackburn (@joegoroth) August 4, 2021

Please give the whole thread a read, but for the tl:dr crew, the main thing we want everyone to know is that we have a plan, it's going to take some time, and we are excited about the future of creating a more consistent delivery of PVP content each year.

##The Best of Your Ability

Our teams have been hard at work putting together a lot of changes for next Season. We decided to break out upcoming sandbox changes into three parts. This week we are covering abilities. Next week we will talk about armor and mods, and then we will touch on weapons during the final week before the end of the Season. Here is Combat Gameplay Designer Eric Smith to give you the rundown on how your Guardian’s abilities will be evolving next Season.
