Well, the great news is that this guy doesn't look anything like a god-damned villain...

If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He looks like he stuck his tongue in the toaster.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Maybe just an off day, could be that he just got up on the wrong side of the swastika shaped bed this morning...

Does anybody know why hes wearing a mic while speaking into another mic?

Musk's department of government efficiency arranged the A/V for the event

A bunch of fresh high school graduates, got it.

He hates Jews.

Probably being filmed.
It's rare that filming will want the same feed as is going to a PA. Sometimes they have to due to logistics, but they will moan about it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

Maybe the PA vibe can be created on post with the source material.

If the live engineer is crappy and causes feedback or echo (like on the brink of feedback) that goes straight to records. There is no way to fix it in post (well, no decent way, and takes ages to dial in something mostly acceptable ).
If it's a "feel of being live" that's required in post, most lavs are omni so will pick up a bunch of atmo noise. It will likely feel live by virtue of being live. I imagine they have some mics on the camera as well for atmo.

Maybe the records aren't set up for a feed from the sound desk. Maybe the sound desk isn't able to provide a clean feed.
The lav mic is probably wireless, with the receiver direct into a camera. They don't have any gain-before-feedback physics to contend with, so they can gain it however they want.
And if they are doing any spots not in front of the mic on stage (or a mic through the sound desk), they will need a mic anyway. If they always use the same mic, then the sound will be consistent.

Better to have an independent feed.

But who cares, the guy is a piece of shit. Any videos he's gonna put out are not for the benefit of humanity

How old is this photo? He definitely didn't have that hair in the actual clip. Why is this the shot being used instead of one from the actual day of?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 hours ago

This guy looks like he tried to fuck a power outlet.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 hours ago

People with no billions to protect them are finding out.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It is very funny that there are so many examples of people basically saying, "It wasn't a Nazi salute, watch I'll show you," and then immediately ruining their lives by doing it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

They were already one half lost if they believed it was innocent in the first place.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

I'm sure most of them just believed they could get away with it and then abruptly realized they did not have the same power and influence as the richest man on Earth.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 hours ago

They don’t really believe it’s innocent, they just want it to be ok to hate.

I do find it crazy that pcgamer is reporting this, because the rest of the news media has just faceplanted on journalism. Reminds me of the Bush Admin, when Rolling Stone Magazine was one of the only reliable sources of news thanks to the extreme corruption within the major publications.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Over in the UK, this got picked up by the mainstream papers. Maybe he is more well known over here. He is the type to often gets headlines for his outrageous comments.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 hours ago

During the first trump presidency, teen vogue was doing the actual journalism and it was crazy

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 hours ago

Rolling Stone was probably the only source of actual journalism during the Iraq Invasion for a time.

Oh the memories.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Isn't he like, part black, or of ethnic descent at least? Should be more aware of dog whistles like that damned Nazi salute. It ain't callin in the Border Collie's for dinner...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

the fact that two mostly unrelated consequences are tied together with "and" in the title had me laughing

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

I mean church in the loosest sense of the word since it was literally only created in 1997 as an offshoot because they didn't like women becoming ordained.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 hours ago

Describes a lot of churches origins, many people wanted to move forward and a healthy chunk wanted to go backwards in response.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

No, that's a church in every sense of the word. That is a normal thing for Christian Churches to do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Anglican Catholic Church

The church part of the name isn't what really gets me. How can a schisim(from the episcopalians) of an offshoot(from the church of England) of a schisim(from the Catholic Church) proclaim itself katholikos (universal).

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 hours ago

Why didn't you mention that in the article, then?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

lol! Basically it’s-

Nazi Sympathizer Does Nazi Salute. Watch It Now On X!

I’d say you can’t write shit like this… but here we are, reading an article about a Nazi that links to video of the repugnant act- hosted on a Nazi-run social media platform.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 20 hours ago

Need more of this. More pointing out the consequences which exist for anyone but the super rich. More pointing out how we are gaslighted to believe "it's not a Nazi salute".
