Right, so the easiest way to explain it from the mainstream point of view, is that it was a large group of male gamers attacking a female developer/other women out of misogyny. The media sticks to this line but it really doesn't do it justice. The gamergate group at the time claimed that it was about ethics in video games journalism and a protest against mass collusion of media outlets. It wasn't that - I mean that's a legitimate point even now, but that's not what this was about. The gamergaters explain their position per the following video - please note it's written for adolescent gamers and you may find the delivery annoying, but in terms of setting out the actual sequencing of events, it covers everything and explains how it became the culture war - be warned, you'll be amazed at how petty and insignificant the whole thing feels, at least from its origins: The short version is - a guy and a girl who were prominent in the gaming community broke up. The girl cheated on the guy. He wrote a blog post about how awful she was. A section of the gaming community said some mean things about her. She complained to gaming journalists/media people she was friends with - they all came together/colluded to attack the wider gaming community for being incels/misogynists. The wider gaming community lost its shit about being called out like that and the notion of "SJW" was defined for the first time and an organised resistance to it was created. This became a months long pitched battle that consumed a large percentage of gamers in some form or another, and as we now know, the anti-SJW side won. Because it's their ongoing narrative that now shapes the culture war even outside the online space. The whole pushback against wokeism is the same exact phenomenon, and has its roots in gamergate. Youtube became the key battleground and it's where lots of prominent content creators were set up to discuss these anti-feminists/anti-SJW talking points. Sargon of Akkad was a key one, he's still going and now runs a private media channel that supports Reform. Jordan Peterson could not have become prominent without this, in fact the movement adopted him more than he adopted it. The whole community leaned into and supported people like Joe Rogan, so he became aligned with those values. Shapiro is another one, but there were plenty of them. Not all of them still exist but they were the guys who did the original work laying the foundations for people like Andrew Tate. It's also why they dominate social media, because they've been doing this for 11 years now. Gamergate was the first battle we lost, and we lost it because when the real media picked it up, they went with the 'all gamers are incels' line and alienated a lot of people immediately. It never really stopped after that point, it just morphed into other things. The Alt Right came from it. MAGA. I think it probably even did enough to tip Brexit tbh (all the talking heads it spawned were anti-EU, all getting millions of views). I know it's stupid and ridiculous given what it was about, but... butterflies and hurricanes.

Life is the waiting room for the Yes Gemmill thread. However, when Gemmill is the subject of it, the Universe will explode in an cataclysm of meta-irony.

All fans for every club he's played at hates the cunt

This is Renton's fault for feeding the algorithm.

The waiting room for the Yes Gemmill thread.

In the evolution of this forum, this thread will soon be pinned.

Watched a compilation of all of his goals the other day. What struck me is that despite doing everything very quickly he never seems to be in a rush. His movement is never frantic or uncalculated, it seems so easy for him its incredible.

As said, the issue won't be the cost of the test, but the cost of the implications of a positive test which in your age group will very probably be a FP and the costs/stress this will cause. But if you push for it by stressing your symptoms your GP should agree. I am meaning to ask for one myself tbh.

Is there a more hated cunt than Michael Owen in football circles? Id still have Bruce over him The video of him as a full England international scoring goals against a 13 year old goalie and having to be chastised by Neville Southall says it all, let alone his Dubai video. Cant stand the cunt, but apart from that...

If they showed interest, I dare say he'd be interested himself, but it'll be a cash deal and a fucking lot of it. We're not taking their shitty cast-offs.

Apparently that Rat Cunt Owen was on TalkSport saying similar

Aye. She retracted her accusation, gave a no comment interview to coppers, etc, but the evidence (her injuries) was considered compelling enough for him to be charged.

does 'lot' mean bunch of cunts?

It might have been that same account, but there was one on Bluesky yesterday touting a swap deal for Isak with Nunez, with their "expert commentator" claiming that it would be "a good move for both clubs".

I wouldn't begrudge any of our players going to Real Madrid. I suspect the bin dippers see them as rivals though.

Just tell them you've recently discovered that there's a family history and make something up about an uncle or something.

I'm 45 this year. When I asked at a recent epilepsy appointment I was told I'm not eligible for it.

I got one on the nhs. It was available on demand via a GP appointment. Took 2-3 weeks to get results. I’m in my 40s

Side effects of that tamsulosin were an odd one. First tablet I've ever had where the pharmacist rang me after a couple of days to check if I was OK. The doctor mentioned something, maybe about it dropping your blood pressure or something? But if I had been lying down watching telly and got up to do something, for the first 20 to 30 seconds, I would get the proper head staggers. It was like I couldn't catch my breath or something. Stopped the day after I came off them. Very odd feeling.

Dippers have started burning their TAA shirts what a fucking lot they are

I think there’s little doubt that we’re looking at a world class footballer quite possibly at his peak. And he’s ours. Whether he leaves in the medium term isn’t that important tbh, the sums likely involved mean it’s inevitable iyam but the point is Eddie Howe & his team have helped make Alexander into a world class player at Newcastle United

You should offer to check it for her. @ewerkobvs.

Thing is, PSA has a high false positive rate, its not that straight forward. Look, we all know you're really after a finger up the bum so just make some stuff up about blood in your poo and the GP will advise.

Nah, I haven't done it myself because I'm not an old cunt. My hypochondriac wife has done a few but I don't think she's bothered with the prostate one... yet.
