In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
If you thought this guy was da Vinci two years ago... you know who you are.
What did he mean by this?
I was stroking it to Elon 2 years ago. I look back ashamed now.
cock stroking 2 years ago. how interesting.....
Don't look back in wanker.
It might be a Korean thing, but the reason it's a meme is because Alliance players and Horde players in World of Warcraft could not communicate, and "LOL" became "KEK" in chat. It's just another part of gaming meme culture that the alt-right took as their own.
I don't know what half of that means to be honest but do you think the people in crypto groups I see using it are doing the Korean thing, or the alt-right thing? They're using is synonymously with "laugh out loud" so I presumed the Korean version, but then again there's a lot of right-wing toolboxes in crypto
Brazilian’s and most of South America have the “Kek”thing too. Sometimes shortened to “Kkkkk”. Interesting that it’s so widespread.
Pretty sure 4chan was the gateway between ‘Kek’ and the alt right.
I think we can all agree that an aged prick like Elon Musk trying to be down with the kids by using 4Chan memes is just the latest in a long line of abominably cringey behaviour from the uncoolest man to ever live.
Unless they are Korean, they're very likely doing the gaming meme thing, which comes from World of Warcraft. They're probably not doing it because they are radicalized, mostly, but some of them might be. It's like how pepe the frog is an alt-right symbol, but it's also not an alt-right symbol.
I wouldn’t say it’s harsh on @Pexbo at all to be honest
@nimic is right. Kek in the online space comes from World of Warcraft. Both "factions" cannot speak to each other in english in the game. When one faction responds to the other with "lol" it comes out as "kek"
the origins of it being used by the alt-right crypto gangs today are regurgitating 20+ year old "gaming forum speak". Elon and the crypto groups have simply adopted it as they've become terminally online and it's now seen as "edgy". they have no real understanding of it.

And “bur” from the Alliance side.
Haha its funny how you need to explain kek and bur. If you dont get it, play World of Warcraft, it will make your life better. Trust me.
I've never known anyone to have an unhealthy relationship to that game.
Seems quite symbolic
Sounds like it's filled with fireworks?
Perhaps a metaphor for.
Yeah it does sound like it to me
fecking hell
that's a bomb surely
edit: ah fireworks

Looks like Verhoeven shot it.
utterly incredible - it looks like something an AI would generate
Shut your whore mouth. Undead for life (well). I just never talked to Alliance scum.
And it’s so fitting!
Supposedly the cyber truck explosion is now being looked at for terror motives.

The investigation was intentional? Poorly worded tweet.
