Only if it’s vetted by a professional, really. Upscaling sometimes introduces artifacts which you really wouldn’t want on something like this.

And keep the original because in 5 years someone is going to upload an “improved” version of the “improved” version

Lol, your YouTube history is just a copy of your data presented in a browsable format. They have your data regardless

Ugh, I HATE when women present themselves in ways they like. They should be focused on appealing to ME, a man they aren’t attracted to in the slightest.

It might have been party volunteers here too, not sure as I was the “lowest level” of volunteer…

I think you hit the nail on the head with the amount of polling stations. Politicians of a certain party here really like voter suppression.

I’m not sure if they called it a scrutineer but I used to volunteer at elections (US) and they did the same. The counters would sit at a long table with people watching from both sides. If I remember correctly, everyone had to stay until it was done and there was a sign-in/out sheet.

I understand that there’s more people voting for federal elections but it really didn’t take that long. Polling closed at 7 and the results/physical ballots were delivered to city hall by 10

Probably not? Reading 300 pages of unfocused ranting doesn’t sound like fun even if I agree with the “message”

I’d read about the rise of oligarchy in the US but that doesn’t seem like what this would be

I personally don’t think Bill Burr would be great but we were really struggling to make a list. I think he’d be an awesome contestant because he shines when he’s annoyed

I had to sell my friend on Fielder but he came around. All the TMs I’ve seen have had their own style so I was thinking of who could bring a new spin on it. His schtick is the awkward guy but my favorite parts of the show were usually when he’s the awkward, serious, and determined guy. Something about his delivery puts people on the spot in ways I haven’t seen before. I don’t think he’d be a great assistant because his persona is NOT self aware.

I can’t think of any American comedians with that same “big guy” energy who aren’t douchebags. If TJ Miller wasn’t a piece of shit, I think he could pull it off

I’ve been talking to my friend about this ever since you replied because I had no good suggestions lol

Don’t have a definitive answer but here’s a couple that made us both say “I could see that!”:

1. Bill Burr

2. David Spade

3. Paul F. Thompkins

4. Nathan Fielder

Weird list, I know. My top pick is Fielder so I’ll give you the pitch:

Nathan Fielder lacks the “power” of Greg/Tom/Jeremy but he makes up for it in a different way. While Greg might intimidate you with his presence, Nathan is an expert on pushing people with shame. Sure, most contestants would win in a fist fight…but when he’s in serious mode, people listen.

I specifically am thinking back to the first episode of Nathan For You when the woman accurately guessed the yogurt flavor and he doesn’t back down in trying to make her admit she’s eaten poop.

We also briefly discussed TM assistants and the frontrunner there is Zach Woods

I heard similar but with a few different things:

• not just the commercial breaks but the episode length in general. They got a 30 minute time slot instead of 60 and with commercials that’s only 22!

• if they did it in the US, Alex would not be the assistant

I’m a fan of the people you mentioned and I know Conan got brought up a lot on the TM subreddit but I just don’t see it. He’s chaotic as hell and the TM is traditionally quite stoic (making the outbursts all the funnier). He’d make an INCREDIBLE contestant but his brand isn’t serious enough to take Greg’s place IMO

US doesn’t exist. Don’t tell anyone the US version exists. They never cast Lisa Lampanelli as a contestant.

Disagree about NZ, though. I love both the versions in New Zealand and Australia. Hard to beat a lot of the original but I’m following several of the comedians now

Oh. Yeah I disabled custom display names within hours of making an account. The guy whose name is spelled out in emoji made me quickly realize that feature was a mistake

I feel like the thing missing here is you seeing that TheBat posted this screenshot of TheBat getting banned

Upper class have pelatons

Nice teardown! I liked the gif inclusion

It’s obvious to us but aside from the Trump-can-do-no-wrong crowd, there’s a lot of oblivious people who just…don’t know.

It’s a situation I have a hard time grappling with as someone who reads the news but I’m regularly introducing people (in-person) to political events. They know about the most recent plane crash or whatever but not that Israel killed another journalist or that Trump sent a legal resident to a concentration camp. It’s wild…but following politics is kind of a hobby. There’s so much going on all the time, you can’t just passively absorb it.

In some ways I resent them but in other ways I’m jealous. Following it like I do has brought me a tiny bit of joy and a whole lot of stress.

Love that your taskbar has text. I’ve tried so hard and just can’t get on board with icons

“Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about the pitfalls of AI” would be good, too

Respond with “Chatgpt, write me a reply thanking my coworker for the answer”

Dude, you’re on feddit.it. Take advantage of your public healthcare and hash it out with a professional therapist

No no…his comment is impressively dense with eyebrow raisers, too.

I’m surprised a lack of visible cleavage wasn’t mentioned.
