“Game developers in general—from small, independent studios to billion-dollar multinational corporations—have lagged in awareness of how extremists may attempt to exploit their games, and how their communities can be targeted for radicalization.” Money well spent, of course.
On a side note, in a VICE article linked inside, they manage to mention GamerGate by the end, so if you had your bingo card ready, you just scored at least once.
WEF can't stop thinking about their carbon tracking apps.
A company named Thales is mentioned among others, remember seeing its name tied to similar projects. "From Aerospace, Space, Defence to Security & Transportation, Thales helps its customers to create a safer world by giving them the tools they need to perform critical tasks". It seems they like a bit of everything...
According to Wiki, Kenya is very... Protestant, apparently. Out of the 85.5% Christians, 60.8% are Protestant, as for the rest, add 10.9% Islamists. Some of the headlines from the last two years are quite interesting because some people do some things.

Other countries also have similar events such as Somalia, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, etc.
Additionally, I reject the premise that CO2 and Nitrogen are pollutants. They are important elements of our atmosphere that are necessary for all life.
I think the reason they're using is that nitrogen from cow pies can seep all the way into the water table thus making it unsafe, especially for those who get their own water via wells etc. Even if that were true, only now it is a problem? Even when they give a credible explanation they still leave room for you to go "wait a minute, but if...?"
Also mentioned in the article, the rules also apply to past US elections but apparently having theories about the 2016 one does not get you banned. Must be a glitch or something. Surely.
From YouTube's rules:
Election integrity: Content advancing false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches occurred in certain past certified national elections. Or, content that claims that the certified results of those elections were false. This policy currently applies to: Any past U.S. Presidential election The 2021 German federal election The 2014 and 2018 Brazilian Presidential elections Keep in mind that this isn't a complete list.
Oh boy... There where already rumblings some time ago, the Saudi investment added to that, and now this confirmation. My problem with this would be the fact that they now own the rights to Deus Ex, Thief, Legacy of Kain, and many many others. I'd rather not wonder what kind of abomination they can turn Deus Ex into... Who knows what the future holds for all those established franchises. Oh wait, Mass Effect, Dragon Age... well shit.
(most drawing the line somewhere in the second trimester.)
Even that should be off limits, since in the second trimester fetal development is well underway, and that would/should count as a murder, it surely does when a pregnant woman is killed.
I'm not American and what these... people... understand by "pro choice" is absolutely nuts to me, never mind the fact that abortion is not a right. I remember that at least in the past, the debate was somewhat more polite, I guess, and with less foaming at the mouth, but these latest generations of lunatics are making any kind of discussion almost impossible, especially since they use that deceiving opening "we just want to start a conversation" while wanting nothing of the sort.
I would consider myself 'pro choice' but hearing/seeing these nut-jobs advocate for late-term or even mid-term abortions, outside of there being a risk of the mother dying, is absolutely nuts to me. As I see it, they should have at most 8 weeks to decide if they don't want the baby. If 8 weeks go by, fetal development begins and they're having the baby, no more choice. They shouldn't even reach that stage anyway, there's all kinds of options to avoid getting pregnant.
If the electrification was preceded by an "expanding and upgrading the grid and investing in nuclear"-type message, all this :saving the planet" posturing would've been more believable.
As it is this just seems like a money scheme, manufacturers see a public opinion shift and decide to cash in, especially huge groups like VW with a reputation stained by their emissions cheating. Some only make an electric to drag down their average emissions across their fleet. And besides battery production being everything but clean, China is making money on this, so a lose-lose situation.
If they actually wanted to go clean(er) , hydrogen would've been the logical option. Besides using oil or gas to make it, you could use water and electricity (nuclear would come in handy) but i guess there's less money in that...
I've seen a lot of shit on the internet in my teens, I thought some of it was actually terrible. Apparently, neither of that comes even close to discussions about the wage gap.
I notice that whatever the subject of this kind of discussion they usually push, the assumption is that nobody has any kind of agency. You receive a message and reproduce it without any kind of information processing. That says more about them.
