He never admits he was wrong, never apologizes and never admits defeat and they love it.

The fact that he's a gigantic moron who frequently says obviously incorrect things doesn't even factor into it, as far as they're concerned they've been given the go ahead to ignore the facts in favour of their opinions even if they completely contradict something they just said as long as they win the argument and that's all that matters.

The inconvenient fact that Biden won the election is completely counter to that viewpoint, however, which has been providing us with some top tier schadenfreude

Teams of uncertified GOP electors held their own 'alternate' sessions in all of the swing states that fell to Biden and mailed off their own set of electoral votes for Trump, there was a lot of this dumbfuckery going around.
E: Mike Pence has to read out the results of the electoral college vote in alphabetical state order in the Senate on Jan 6, they think he's going to ignore the certified votes and read out their 'pirate' votes. It's dumb as hell.

I've found the slow, sad denial skid towards inevitability to be satisfyingly schadey. The chuds just get quieter and quieter, as the 'yeah, buts' get less and less emphatic, until Jan 20, when they'll all whimper a quiver-chinned "Not my president" like the last dribble of a ruined orgasm.

Does anyone else find it funny that he's still trying to be a writer and isn't just getting a regular office job?

Like, he could play at being a writer when he had the site here and no one could tell him not to post his unreconstructed early 2000s angry internet man schtick, but lol at anyone actually wanting to pay him for it.

Also, I bet that there aren't goons working wherever he applied but they did a simple google search on him, because the first news article about him is about the sale and mentions the domestic violence and he just assumed it was goons ruining it for him and not, y'know that him being a violent abuser is plastered all over everything about him and will be forever.

Yeah, his writing is terrible, always has been. It was always the worst of the try-hard nonsense but I guess that kind of stuff is subjective. Even on DuckDuckGo his 4th result down below official ones is about him being a serial abuser. lol.

I suspect that over the last 20 years he has basically done nothing to build any skills aside from developing a snarky persona so finding a real job where he can just stuff himself away isn't an option. Also, I haven't looked but I don't think his streams do too well, primarily because he isn't entertaining on his own. In fact, I think that when he was doing streams with his 13(?) year old kid a few years ago, they had a better knack for comedy and being entertaining than he did.

Billion dollar coal power plant scrapped because renewable energy is better

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-17/bluewaters-coal-fired-power-station-written-off-books/12990532

The energy trade calls it something like the "third wave".
First era of renewables is that traditional sources are cheaper to build and operate.
Second era of renewable is that it's cost effective to continue to operate fossil fuel sources, but build the new capacity in with renewables. Most of the world is here.
Third era of renewable energy is where it becomes cheaper to replace fossil fuel sources with new renewable sources rather than continue to operate the old plants. This is where the climate change fight starts to really move the needle

My niece thinks I'm a wizard because I captured that effect in a photo of her riding her bike. It was a shot with the lens open for 15 seconds and a flash to freeze her motion. For Schadenfreude, she uses that picture regularly to argue that she's too fast to have to go to bed. My brother has "accidentally" destroyed one copy. But he doesn't realize just how cheap it is to get a print of a 4x6 picture. It was worth it to print ten just to get free shipping.

This is actually quite bad. Once the chickens realise they can eat eggs then they go to town on eggs they see later. Be careful chicken goon
