Nah not really. Those who talk about "woke" and "anti-woke" people are as bad as each other. Bell ends all. As for the premise of this guy's point, which seems to be telling young people not to complain about the state of the world they have inherited, just work harder and make it better? Vacuous bollocks in my opinion. Makes me laugh how the enemies of society are the misguided people who want to live in a nice world. Is today's woke just yesterday's do gooder or bleeding heart? There's always been a pejorative name for these people. When I meet someone who is a bit over the top with their 'wokeness' i argue with them to make my point, I don't call them names, I feel calling people names means you're the one with the weak argument. Calling people woke for me is a form of cowardice. I met a couple once who wanted to ban Only Fools and Horses for racism. I reasoned with them and they changed their mind. I didn't cry like a baby and call them names. That's all I see here in this video. My tuppence 🙂

Well worth a watch

Oh James you trump supporting nazi bastard 😥😅

Nice one Dave 🙂 Yeah for me its vacuous to state the obvious and ignore all sorts of elephants in the room. Of course we want better cleaner tech, but where is our responsibility? We can't rely on tech to save us when we can't even save ourselves. Imagine us letting the sewers into the sea because the big bad EU is not here to stop us anymore. Oh yeah, that's already happened. Nothing to do with wokeness and everything to do with Profit. We live in one of richest countries in the world where working people rely on charity. But no, it's wokeness that's the problem? No, it's how we organise ourselves and how we look for scapegoats instead of being honest. Yes, i agree people can be overzealous in their way of going about things but we can always tell such people to fuck off 🙂 They're a product, a symptom even, of our great malaise, not the cause. This is just me and my opinion, you know me sir, fucking hate Capitalism 🙈😁

OK Phil, but, for context, he was speaking in a debate entitled “has wokeness gone too far?” which is probably why the term was used so frequently. I don’t really think it’s vacuous bollocks to point out that, although it may have been the industrial revolution that was the beginning of global warming, a major factor now is disadvantaged people who just want to make their own lives better. Also, again for context, he was saying to the people he was debating with, they should be working harder to make scientific and technical breakthroughs towards clean energy that was cheap i.e. affordable for the people in the world who can only currently afford fossil fuels. I don’t think that’s vacuous bollocks either Just my opinion and I’ll raise you to a threepenny bit 😘

Due to someone *cough* Matt *cough* irradiating the last server, FTB Academy is now live on the server for all to play. The server does run a whitelist though so you won't be able to join until I have your username. I can add to the whitelist almost at anytime so drop me a message here or whatsapp and I'll add you.

Hello all, As some of you may know, I have run a modded Minecraft server for FG over the last few years. Modded Minecraft can be quite different to vanilla so to that end FTB, a modpack maker, made a pack called FTB Academy. The purpose of the pack is to provide an in game quest line with tips and instructions on how to use the included mods. This pack was originally released several years ago which we played but I noticed the other days there’s an updated version. So given several people have said during other conversations about wanting to join, I thought this would be a great opportunity for anyone that wants to try it to get involved, learn some mods and hopefully have some fun. So I’m posting this currently just to gauge interest and if there is, I shall switch the server over to FTB Academy and create an event to start the modpack on Sunday 1 February. So if you want to join what do you need? You’ll need an account for Minecraft Java edition (this is different to the Windows 10 or the version on consoles that is/was used for the realm) Your Minecraft username (this is different to your Gamertag, see FAQ below) which you’ll need to reply to this thread with, or PM it to me, so I can whitelist you on the server. You’ll need to download and install the FTB Launcher. Once installed, you’ll need to add the FTB Academy pack. Launch the game, go to the multiplayer tab and add the FG server. The name can be anything you want and the IP address is: 62.210.41.17:25414 (NB if you add the server at the moment, it will show an error due to the server running a different modpack) A quick video on installing the FTB App and installing the modpack. FAQ How do I find my Minecraft username? Your Minecraft username is used in game and in your Microsoft account settings. Go to www.Minecraft.net and navigate to your profile by using the dropdown box on the top right of your screen. Select the Minecraft:Java Edition dropdown box and click Profile Name to view your in-game username. What can I play this on? Unfortunately as modded Minecraft runs on Java edition it isn’t possible to play on consoles. As such, play is limited to PC’s only (Windows, Mac or Linux). What PC Specs do I need to play? Minecraft primarily relies on CPU and memory to run rather the GPU (graphics card). Almost any CPU made in the last 5 years, and honestly most in the last 10, combined with at least 8Gb of RAM (16Gb is preferable) should be able to run it. You can look up the specs of your PC but the easiest way to test it would be load it up and see if it works (Note: running around generating new areas of the world causes the game to lag no matter the spec of your PC). How do I check what my PC specs are? If you want to check your specs anyway, on Windows 10 click your start menu, then settings (cog icon), system and then on the bottom of the left column, click ‘About’. For Mac’s, click on Apple menu, then ‘System settings’, ‘general’ in the sidebar (you may need to scroll down.) Click about on the right and then click System report. For Linux, I don’t think anyone is using it but I don’t have a clue so www.google.co.uk is your friend. Can I play with shaders? Maybe. Shaders basically change the textures and lighting effects of Minecraft and can have a massive impact on how the game looks but also can have a massive difference to how well it runs too. However shaders can be funny when it comes to modded blocks so this is definitely a try it and find out as your mileage may vary. Personally, I stick to no shaders but that’s mostly because I’m too lazy to sort out shaders for each pack we play. What if I get stuck while playing FTB Academy? In the original version the in-game guide pretty much covered everything but I haven’t played this version of the pack so don’t know how thorough it is this time around. If you get stuck, Google is your friend as you can usually find the online wiki for the mod, a video explaining the mod or someone asking the same question (usually on reddit). I will also be around most of the time to hop on if and when as I think I’ve played through most, if not all, the mods in Academy before. What if there’s no interest in FTB Academy but I still want to play? The server has been running for several years now and will continue to do so while periodically changing modpacks. If there’s no interest in FTB Academy, I’ll switch the server over to a different modpack instead (modpack TBC) which you’re more than welcome to join. I think this covers everything but any questions or problems, let me know or post them here and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Haven’t seen this, don’t want to see it and I feel sorry for those that had to watch it. Apparently it’s such an abomination, even some of the critics it’s pandering to hate it. I’ve only seen snippets of footage and a few articles about its creation but it’s safe to say, they’ve massacred what was once a very likeable original source series and rebooted it into hell

I think people would be more respectful of these students if they could back up their argument and concerns without quoting generic tripe they pulled off of TikTok for instance. Most of them bathe in hypocrisy which doesn't help their cause and when confronted with facts and logic, they mostly have no answer and struggle to provide a credible response that is factual and could provide debate. I don't like people who outright dismiss worries of the world but people that complain about stuff without knowing why just doesn't help the situation. Always nice to see the Union plant some comedians and alternative thinkers on show because most of the time, the University is pure clown world and it defies belief how some of them walk away with degrees with such a poor and immature understanding of the world. The level of wokery in today's society is bordering on insanity levels and most of it is completely unnecessary and of a minority. Most people will not engage in such stuff of fear of being called a right wing Trump supporting Nazi or because they simply don't buy into the credibility of what is being said because it is coming from people that don't come across in a positive or respectful way.

Very sad news. I'm gutted to have such a loss to the music industry, as well as guitar players world wide that looked up and was inspired to play thanks to Jeff. R.I.P.

Honestly we probably won't be on Academy by then as larger packs are usually done in a few months but Academy is not a large pack though we shall see. However you'll still be welcome on the server if/whenever you want to jump on and can go through some of the basics of modded 🙂

I wanted to add that extracting is preferable to anything else in this mode. You get the extraction bonus and an bonus perk if you did a contract. The most I have gotten to is 10 perks (which meant 10 consecutive successful extractions). Those are the same perks as MP. Getting those makes you near godly so it is friending players to get out successfully is to me preferable than getting the 100 xp for an operator kill and their loot.

I went with engage only if there is a mission. Could have been try to squad as well. If I am in a good squad that communicates I even "bait" the players when asking to squad up. I run a thermal sniper now. Tell them where they are and that I will shoot to their right then I do it. Squad up or die 🙂. After that they usually do. Another option could have been, kill one (with the sniper) and wait for teammates to come and revive. Then take them out. If they are solo I tell them to ask for help and I revive them which makes them part of the squad. I tend to try to help the Solo guys. They are usually not a concern When we run 6 to a squad we pretend there are 3 of us. That way if others engage they get a big surprise.

Wait to you see our hotdogs😎 Thankfully we don't own our ground and aren't responsible for the catering so the ex-owner is getting all the brunt of it, not that he'd care anyway. Most of our fans have been boycotting food and drink up there for 15 years which is partly why they don't care what the end product looks like. Seems to have go much worse looking at that tough🤣

Just read through the thread and yes I have a pc and as you say @Greboth I don't use it 😫😁 but also I'm a complete noob, that earlier post in the thread may have well been in Chinese, however wifey has a new job starting in May so when she finally has to fuck off out to work again my pc is moving downstairs so I plan on using it more so this is definitely an opportunity and as such I'm definitely interested in but I've never had anything to do with Minecraft ever.

Right you bumders let's see if we can get this going somewhere. I'm tagging those who I've got even the vaguest recollection of being interested or I know has a PC but the server is open to anyone really 🙂 Tom @LordBaguette I'm sure this would run on your Mac @Diddums It's not Tekkit but you know you want to get back in to modded MC Carl @TurboR56Mini You've joined a couple of the packs but not really known what was going on so now is your chance to learn Gary @techno I don't think you use your PC for anything else so fancy joining? Conner @JamaicanSteve I've got a vague recollection of you talking about it but not sure if you have a PC? @Ajay I'm sure @crispymorgan mentioned you wanting to use his Java account so maybe time to pester him some more @Tadnothad How's your PC doing these days? I've got a vague recollection you said in Wales it was broken but hopefully you've got it fixed @Sennex Noticed you've been around the forums recently and you're always welcome to join @Macca89 I know you don't like MC so just tagging you to annoy you 😄

It feels like forever since we've waited for it and now its nearly here it feels like I didn't expect it so soon lol. It will be interesting to see how it works - it really is a gamechanger though because I think the one thing that stops us using crossplay so much is the voice chat PITA process. This removes all of that and we get a better quality chat.

Yes very sad news, Jeff was a legend and highly influencial. A real wizard on the 6 string.

This is very sad news, Jeff was a true virtuoso in a league of his own.

Best endeavors and all that....😅 I'm trying to sort January and beyond out this week and next so I'll pop in here and ask soon when is a good time to rally the troops to help us noobs.

I follow and listen to this guy and Triggernometry, but I am not getting involved in any politicial discussions on here. We are all too different and from very different walks of life itll only end in tears and arguing
