Are there any examples of countries that had freedom of speech and then developed a disinformation problem, banned free speech, and now no longer have disinformation campaigns waged against them? I'm genuinely curious.

Something very ironic about this, like the new Netflix Avatar slop removing Sokka's misogyny therefore also removing his growth as a character where he learns to respect women.

I understand now why they shut down the Forspoken studio and absorbed all the employees into the main studio, they want all their franchises to get wokified. It's all water under the Bridge.

It used to be hard when physical media put limits on what you could write (before the advent of the N64 expansion pak for example). There's no excuse today when you have essentially limitless space on a computer. Today's Call of Duty Modern Warfare would take up the phyiscal space of a large refrigerator using 1990's level of technology.

He was translating an amount of text roughly equivalent to Ulysses from Japanese to English and they gave him six months to do his job and the madman actually did it. Keep in mind he was PHYSICALLY CONSTRAINED by the limits of the SNES cartridge. The English translation of Final Fantasy 6 is pretty much the moon landing of video games, utterly impossible to do today despite leaps in technology.

And when you realize that localizers are no longer subject to having to use a calculator to figure out how many bits are used when you translate kanji into letters as Woolsey was, it's inexcusable and unforgivable when they do things like reduce entire exchanges of dialogue into "..." "..." "..." as they did in Fire Emblem.

But that's a double edged sword I suppose as they also now have free reign to just insert the full text of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto into every game's readme.txt and it doesn't matter that the game file balloons to 150 GB or more, companies don't seem to care for whatever reason.

Judging from what happened in Hawaii, they'll just declare they're ignoring the 22nd Amendment as well and nominate Obama for a 4th term (he's pretty clearly shadow president right now and I don't just mean the dark color of his skin)

It's working for Tucker because he is Tucker Carlson. Piers is unlikely to see the same degree of success just judging from the television viewership, you can see that Piers doesn't bring in viewers like Tucker did. Ergo this is foolhardy at best.

Are they really allowed to do this?

It would be pretty wacky if some other states started ignoring the 17th and 19th Amendments. Or hey let's just ignore the 13th and enslave every Hawaiian.

Unfortunately, they are in fact very stupid. All they can process is that one number is bigger than the other number.

SNL's audience is democrats, so this is her asking her constituents to vote for her in future open primaries

A reminder here that Haley's supporters when asked in Iowa and New Hampshire will vote for Biden in November but they're happy to try and fuck with Trump while they have the opportunity

The only way this could be more poignant is if that's a cop in the last frame just standing there looking on as that guy gets beat to death, and if you fight back, he intervenes to arrest YOU.
