In the dead of winter, on a day with -27°C wind chill, in FiveFinger shoes (my toes are still cold), on icy trails, in a state that hates anything other than cars, on a dead ebike (25kg), and with no additional planning than "I should bring a rope today," I was able to transport a full 4'x8' sheet of plywood from the hardware store to my home for model railroading without any issues at all. If I could do it under these conditions, then anybody could do it under nearly any conditions.
AstroG4 had a problem: He loves trains, but he just doesn't have quite enough wood. Now a normal person would look at the weather, then hop in their GMC Yukon XL Denali and run over fifty children on their way to pick up plywood.
AstroG4's too eco-conscience for that. Instead, he strapped on his goddarn FiveFingers shoes with the individual toes, mounted his glorified Huffy, and braved the subzero temperatures on a non-functioning eBike to prove to the rest of us that you CAN, in fact, transport one full sheet of plywood on a walmart-tier Trek bicycle.
You may be asking yourself "how is that a full 4x8 sheet when it's clearly cut into 4x2 sections?"
Three splices, actually, but perfectly sound logic. I could grind a piece of plywood into sawdust, dump it into a backpack, carry it onto a plane, then reglue it back into a 4x8 sheet and claim I was able to carry-on a sheet of plywood.
But honestly, that's not the reason I'm posting this. Much like the /r/malelivingspaces threads that Carp would post (please do more, they're fun), I want everyone to look at his model trainery.
The more you look, the more you see.
Pieces extending beyond necessary length
Jigsawed paths for curved tracks
Everything is made of scrap remnants you'd normally toss or burn
Drywall screws everywhere
Scrap pieces used as spliceblocks, seemingly using tie-wire to hold them to the main track curve
Thin tinmetal braces held on by a single screw, no washer, in no way actually bracing the legs
The table-thing in the foreground (lower right corner) has a short leg, being extended with a single carriage bolt
Handwriting looks like a fat neurodivergent, using the cheapest tan masking tape he could find.
A single laser-cut cupholder, clearly not his own work
I'm still baffled by how he can be so terrible at woodworking on the right half of the picture, but appears to have functional drawer slides and flush-mounted buttons on the left half.
And since this is Reddit, you guessed it:
thanks and godbless !friendsofxirabolt

He seems pretty intelligent but somewhat neurodivergent. He conducted a "study" over 4-5 year period counting the number of white x asian couples and found that surprisingly 95% of the 10,000 he counted were WMAF.

A Dolly Parton-themed musical had to be suspended mid-show when homophobic abuse was hurled at the stage, an actor in the production has claimed.
Stevie Webb said an incident at the Opera House in Manchester during Here You Come Again saw the whole cast "leave the stage, because a woman was so disgusted there was a gay character on the stage".
Mr Webb, who plays a superfan of the country music superstar in the show, said there had also been problems during the London run of the production.
He described an incident involving a man shouting an offensive slur and adding: "I just want to see Dolly Parton."
How gay must this gay character be if multiple attendees of a Dolly Parton musical are offended?

Hecko! ![:marseywave2: :marseywave2:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseywave2.webp)
Hello Rdrama, it's time for your Minecraft YouTuber Autism fest again!
It's always insightful to engage in a bit of market research.
I gotta know what my contemporaries are up to, my competition!
Ladies and gentlemen the Minecraft YouTuber TommyInnit.
Now I do not want to do a deep dive on who this guy is because I do not feel like writing 1000s of words today.
But the run down is this guy was some 16 year old kid (hes 21 now) who made his way to fame through the Dream SMP Live Minecraft server, which streamed to hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers.
Since then he has fallen out with the YouTuber 'Dream' and the coalition of streamers has split off into two camps. Both r-slurred but arguably the "Tommyinnit" side is worse.
I personally find this guy to be utterly obnoxious, cringe and is the very epitome of the current oversensitivity of Minecraft fans which plague my hobby and source of income.
Here is a timestamped youtube video of the kind of guy he is!
NOT THE R-SLUR!!!!! ![:marseyrage: :marseyrage:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseyrage.webp)
Yeah, she is your mother after all
Tommyinnit fancies himself a bit of a comedian, he does live shows where he charges $60 dollars per ticket to see him do the worse comedy routine ever.
I am utterly convinced that with no practice I could do better than him right now.
(timestamped video, watch like 30s if you can lmao)
THIS IS THE SHITNERNET
In pursuit of his comedic genius, he has started an internet show called "This is the Internet" and the target of my autism today.
I actually really like the idea and concept for the show, where he does like an episode once a month re-capping and making fun of internet trends and stories, like Norm Macdonald but for the zoomies like me!!!!
The one problem is... Is painfully fricking unfunny and bad.
The show starts ok, and I don't have much to say about the intro, other than I would of been funnier to film real homeless instead of an actor.
Then we get to the main shot of his newscaster desk and the amateurish problems become apparent immediately
See that microphone? That is not a prop, that is the actual microphone the audio is coming from, as a result you can hear every microscopic movement he makes on the desk, even movement of his hands, and as the mic has no stabilizer he bumps is constantly!!!
Like its fricking crazy, its a static shot you can just attach a boom mic, and have the desk mic for a backup. And r-slurred production plagues this 20 min video.
Watch Joke
Ok first joke of the episode he looks at his wrist even though he doesn't have a watch, something I like in premise, but I think he holds it too long and it's too obvious that it kind of breaks it.
A better example of this joke is from this timestamp from the Amazing Digital Circus
And how would you follow up this silly 1s gag of a nonexistent watch?
Oh yeah, r-slurred train noises for an excruciating 12s, where he spits everywhere.
And this is a common trend in this video is that TommyInnit does not know when to end a fricking joke.
Like this should of been cut out anyway, but if you had to include it... LIKE 1 SECOND AT MOST
Peepee Joke
Tommy mentions how Magnus Carlson was disqualified from a chess tourney for wearing jeans, which leads to a joke about how he's against wearing trousers and shows that his actually naked below the suit.
Once again, a joke which can work but it should be a more subtle visual gag.
If he had a larger newsroom set or was on location he could have two men carrying a mirror in the background somewhere, which shows his bare butt to the camera while he says something else, not drawing direct attention to it.
Maybe not even have the context of Magnus Carlson at all and just have it has an absurd background visual with no explanation.
example of this type of joke done right from Naked Gun 2 1/2
But at the moment its obnoxious, in your face and goes on way too long.
GOES ON TO LONG
Goes without saying, CUT THE JOKE SOONER HOLY SHIT!
HOLY SHIT CRINGE, I know hes a kids entertainer but god darn, this is shit you do to make your very very young toddlers laugh
Genuinely this thread is just to make you guys suffer because I had to watch this, so did you
SKIT 1
This is obviously meant to be a parody of MrBeast and Hype style Youtubers.
He's doing something lame but biggining it up as something super duper epic, except I dont think he fully commit to the bit.
The music should be more obnoxious, like dubstep or something
He should have like 10 camera angles of the same lame stunt
Tons of ridiculous digital zoom ins and post production motion blur
I would of just said random money figures randomly to take the piss out of their money obsession. (500 dollar bottle of coke wow!)
The biggest problem with the skit is pacing, I believe in a comedy rule which I came up with after watching a horrible Jim Sterling Video.,
"A joke should never take longer than 60s to setup and payoff"
And establishing the parody, the coke and Mentos and the reaction is a tall order for 60s, so in cases like this you need to make the joke evolve somehow.
Have something to break it up into pieces, by sprinkling in smaller jokes in while your building the setup.
You could make a quick jab at overuse of merchandising.
Or ridiculous product placement in the background.
Just something to tithe the viewer over until you can get to that longer punchline. And help further establish the satire element
Now too be fair Tommy mostly avoids this problem, managing to get to the Mentos part within 15s pretty efficiently.
but keep this part in mid for the proceeding....
3 MINS OF FOOTAGE
Where hes taking the piss out of the amount of replays which works, but he just keeps the joke going way way way way too fricking long without any evolution.
I seriously encourage you to watch the whole skit and just be in shock with how long it goes on for
He should of done this replay joke for 20s at most, then hard cut to him choking and almost vomiting up the coke looking and sounding ill because he deepthroated it. as the joke "evolving" by undercutting the extreme editing.
Bonus points if you then pan to a random passer-by looking confused and disgusted.
SKIT 2
I am going to skip over a lot of the other shit jokes because its very much the same of what I've already covered
This is just the peak of the amateurish filming. First off how do you mic a scene that badly wtf. Everyone's mic quality is different, did they have 1 mic between them. Legit wtf?? It sounds fricking awful.
And the video is completely fricked up. Look at this shot/reverse shot
The colours and depth of them are completely fricked up, with the tommy shot being incredibly faded out and desatured, which creates a giant disconnect when these two are supposed to be facing each other.
This is further again compounded by the bad audio difference.
Anyway what's this skit about?
5 MINS ON A POOP JOKE WTF
Again I encourage you a ton to watch and suffer through this skit, because it's so fricking bad the whole thing should just be cut.
THIS GUY CHARGES 60 DOLLARS PER TICKET TO SEE HIM LIVE!
POOP JOKES
So the premise of the skit if Jack Manifold (also a YTuber) is proposing that Tommy starts making poop content for youtube as an idea, to which they act confused, thus inadvertidly revealing he is into it.
First off this should be filmed handhold style with lots of manual zoom in's on faces and try to emulate the style of the Office.
Poop is such a lame unfunny thing to centre this skit around
This is not an idea that can last 5 mins
A friend and I came up with a concept for the scene to try and make a funny skit out of it.
That instead of poop, Jack is proposing a new mascot for some merch called the "Grapist" where its the mascot of their new grape flavoured juices (you can make fun of prime)
And Tommy and the rest of the boardroom is trying to politely tell him that it sounds like r*pe, but he is oblivious.
You could do a visual joke where he shows a drawing of children sucking the grapists juice sacks, and it looks really really bad, but he just acts innocent and unaware about it.
Edgy but better that POOP FUNNY HEHE!
Serious this is negative comedy
the worse joke in the episode
I have no idea what the fricking joke is here legit.
Shrimpena
BEST JOKE IN THE EPISODE
THIS WAS WRITTEN BY 3 PEOPLE WHAT THE FRICK
This was made by a production of a small team, which I unironically could make better by myself.
This fricker has gotten 1m views and I have no idea how anyone finds this guy funny
is this mass psychosis.
I don't think I'm an expert or a pro but holy shit.
I hate modern Minecraft YouTubers. I need to help fix the culture....

of course it's a paki paper lmao, copy &&pasted :
The mastermind behind the right-wing X, formerly Twitter, account 'Inevitable West' has been exposed as an alleged Indian crypto scammer and political grifter following a major blunder.
Saurabh Chandrakar, linked to the controversial Mahadev betting app, mistakenly promoted the app on his main social media account, inadvertently leading to his identification. This error sparked online investigations, which uncovered his alleged involvement in a massive money-laundering operation connected to the app.
According to Indian news outlets, Chandrakar, a prominent figure behind the Mahadev betting app, is currently under house arrest in Dubai after being detained following an Interpol-issued Red Notice. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) in India is actively seeking his extradition to face charges related to money laundering, with estimates suggesting the illicit proceeds could amount to ₹6,000 crore (approximately $680 million). His case has become more complex as it is allegedly linked to several high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats in Chhattisgarh. So far, 11 individuals have been arrested, and two charge sheets have been filed.
The Mahadev app has become a focal point of controversy, drawing attention to Chandrakar's background. Reports suggest that he, along with business partner Ravi Uppal, allegedly ran the app as part of a larger scheme that defrauded thousands of people. The scale of the operation has raised further questions, particularly after reports surfaced of Chandrakar hosting a lavish wedding in Dubai.
In addition to his business dealings, Chandrakar gained notoriety on social media under the pseudonym 'Inevitable West,' where his account quickly gained traction. X users noticed a rapid surge in followers, with some speculating that his posts were picked up by high-profile individuals, including Elon Musk, which allegedly contributed to his skyrocketing popularity.

They are kicking and screaming. They are insomniacs. They are constantly hyperventilating and they are wound up and high strung. They are weak. They pray to God day and night about how worried and scared they are about every little thing. They think what they worship is good but they are enslaved and captured by fear and they worship ideas and narratives created by evil human beings. They worship fear power control and authoritarianism and are scared shitless. They believe when they die they are going to Heck for eternity they truly believe it and life is about burying yourself in distractions and illusions from this monumentally devestating truth. They are brain dead they got a bullet in their head

I am going to be starting a new thing where I post about people in need, rather that be in prayer or otherwise. I was originally going to share the post below: - https://www.reddit.com/r/offmychest/comments/oxpqkt/my_autistic_brother_is_sexualizing_me_and_theres/ but I looked ln the profile and saw the last post of the user being a cry for help. It saddens me that I went to posting drama immediatelt and didn't think about the human. This callousness is my fault and is a primary reason I rarely post non self drama because I often feel bad/worry about the person behind post. But this isn't about me. Let's pray for this individual, and pray she is still alive. It's worrying that it was posted 3 years ago and that no new post has been made. Although it is a throwaway. Thank you and love to all of u friends.
