That's not what nitpicking means

There's this advert on YouTube shorts for some therapy app or service whatever and it's just vulgar.

It's this bearded dude filming himself washing his face and I guess the camera POV is on his basin or whatever.

The whole thing is meant to come across as though he is an influencer that you've not heard of, that this is a random video of his that you've stumbled across, and that this is just an observation that he's made about therapy that he's relaying to you whilst he exfoliates his putrid flesh.

I've nothing against therapy at all, but this commodification of it, and the way it dishonestly tries to sell it to you is simply capitalism all over. Most people probably need therapy because of the trauma this system has caused on people and yet here it is trying to sell you the cure as well.

To top it all off, watching this 2010s hipster relic scrub his face with soap is nail curlingly vile and I have no idea what the angle is other than trying to make this not appear to be an advert.

I'd love to see a response to this, but then they've probably had an aneurysm

I bet it's just a damaged lithium ion battery. If Russia wanted to do this for real, how hard would it actually be to pull off?

This is just fear mongering nonsense.

I'm eating breakfast in Chengdu. I'm so oppressed right now.

Surely this won't have any knock on effects with the food chain...

They really should have bombed the ambulances too. Tit for tat, and all that.

Yeah I can see how that would be annoying. My only experience of his work is people dunking on him. Although I've read those two very famous internet posts breaking down all his very worst offences, my immediate impression was how the proportions in his drawings reminded me of post WW1 modern art.

For whatever reason I liked the impressions his artwork gives. Although in many cases I can agree that it is lazy and looks bad.

I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this, but I like this guy's style, I honestly do. You can add it to my other terrible opinions, like thinking Battlefield Earth is an enjoyable film.

Man, what a really well written science article. That was refreshing
