Technically none of the youtube channels or casts who were involved with Tenet media are in trouble at all. The illegal wrongdoing was that the funding organization hid the fact that they were Russian when trade with Russia is forbidden under sanction. It's not actually illegal to take foreign money, just look at TYT who is basically funded by Al Jazeera and have been for the last decade.
Canada ironically tried to audit its own system in the Harper days and they barely cut more from the budget than it cost to hire the internal consultants to do the audit.
The government has no incentive system, nobody is going to admit that they are wasteful when it means they lose their job. Without a reasonable accountability system in place, the public sector in Canada will continue to grow well past its reasonable growth rate simply because, like Cancer, it has no ability to regulate its own growth.
Owens is and has always been a grifter, I been saying this since the Social Autopsy bullshit, and I'll say it till years after her dumb grifting career hits the earth.
This woman is not profound, she is not smart, and she should not be paid attention to.
This game is old. Like, early 2000's old.
And Star Control 2, the game it basically is, is from the early 90's.
I loved playing this but you need to understand something when you play this. It's still the 90's game. There are no arrows telling you where to go, there's no indicators or hot tips. You play this game with a notebook and when someone says something interesting, you write it down. You have to listen to everything all the NPC's say (and the voice acting is superb) and take everything in because you're not going to be led by the hand.
In this game, if you fuck up, the universe will be doomed forever and you will have to start the game all over again because you may realize the root of your fuckup was hours ago.
This is 90's DOS PC game hardcore, the only thing it doesn't have is copy-protection manuals requiring you to enter words from the game manual.
I wonder if they'll have a long preachy quest chain for one of your companions where you "explore" how she's asexual but she actually wants a lesbian relationship with someone else and you sit there guiding her through what to do as she goes on dates.
That was so immersive in Outer Worlds, I can't wait to see it here.
Think about it this way - predators like to go where their prey is at.
It's not that, in the previous centuries the Catholic Church had a problem with pedophiles - the problem was the Church was educating a lot of kids, so if you were a pedophile, the Church was where you wanted to be if you wanted access to kids.
Today, the school system is where pedophiles are - it's not that teachers are pedophiles, but instead pedophiles seek to be teachers to gain access to kids.
Bluesky is just signaling to people, hey, if you wanna spread CP, this is where its at, so the CP creators are just naturally, willingly going over there because they know their audience.
ITs easy. STop the counts in swing states, check to see how many vote you "need" - then that number plus a few hundred arrive in a secure van in briefcases in the middle of the night.
The fewer people who see the process and in the fewer places you do it, the better, because an actual fraud scandal is game over. Have patsies who, in some cases, did get caught stopping the polls denying voters their rights to vote, can be thrown under the bus if shit goes bad in some places.
They could pull a few baby frauds off, but the 20 million voters thing, I don't think they could. Too many eyes would be on that plan - one whistleblower who leaks that plan would have way too much to gain . It wouldn't work.
No it's just Harris is exactly as bad as you think, and she repulsed millions of Democrats to either stay home, spoil their ballot, or vote R.
I think it really is that simple. Democrats can get behind Biden - he's not really that offensive, but Kamala is so bereft of competence, so obnoxious in the confidence that she deserves this, that voters were turned off completely.
Why would the democrats waste time cheating votes in... Wayne county. Inner-city counties like this were so in the bag for Democrats, the democrats could (and often do) shit directly on the city and they'd still be elected.
If people are going to cheat at this election, their plan will be same as last election.
Wait till the last hour, see which swing states need only a few votes to push you over the edge, arrive with a small official election team, kick out all the administrators, have very close to exactly the number of ballots you need to push it over, have them come back in and recount, then dip out.
this way, you minimize the impact of your cheating to reduce your chance of getting caught (only the few districts that are close need attention, and only a few piles of pre-printed ballots and small number of people are required).
Their plan will not involve widespread mass media conspiracy lying, because this involves the collaboration of thousands and thousands of people, and among there, there's one democrat who probably thinks "hey, if I leaked this, I'll be a national hero" before the Dems execute them in cold blood a la Seth Rich. They can handle one Seth Rich, but they can't handle hundreds.
If you want to cheat at the elections, you don't run around telling media outlets what the results are. If you want to cheat you tell as few people as possible, because one leak means game over. Running around with fake data submitting to media companies, assuming they will play along, and all their employees play along, is asking for failure.
Democrats are stupid, but they aren't that stupid. I buy that this was just people at the station fucking up - because it makes a lot more sense.
DAI was garbage, it was a huge departure from the tactical CRPG format of DAO and imo was unplayable trash.
It was not received as well and thus, didn't get attention, plus in 2014 when it came out, the troons were still kinda underground.
Bioware, however, at the time was fully infected (PL: I do know some people who work there, by this time, its original founders who made Baldur's Gate were gone and the place was infested with so much soy, it was actually nauseous). This wasnt because of diversity standards or DEI, this was the employees and writers at Bioware wanting to take their sexual deviance and shoehorn it in there for "acceptance". People at the time already knew Bioware games as "the games where you could fuck anyone in the game", so it didn't really raise eyebrows at the time.
Hes not a fence sitter, he's a leftoid and always has been.
Leftoids and Rightoids both highly value freedom, and sometimes they work together, but he's still a degenerate. They both hate corruption another thing he likes to rant about. The problem is people keep viewing him through this lens and thinking that because I (as a rightoid) believe in these things so must he, but alas it is not so.
I played a few years of Arknights - was pretty fun! I got tired of having to log in every day, and after being a free player for that long I had becomes so immensely powerful that the game became extremely easy.
Funny thing about it being Chinese developed and having a "Global" release outside of China. They do get JP voice actors for many of the gacha characters (operators, they're called) - and there was a specific drama surrounding one of them who had voiced an operator known as Platinum. She posted on social media how she had visited a Japanese monument commemorating some lost in WWII, and no word of a lie the second she did that, her Chinese masters cut her off 100% persona non grata. She was replaced in a matter of weeks with a new JP VA who redid every single one of Platinum's JP voice lines. [For one, Japan was pretty mean to China during those years and for two, China is extremely sensitive when it comes to image.]
Instances like this, of people working for these companies doing inocuous things that could, for example, reveal that they respect Taiwan's independence or believe Falun Gong is a healthy religion or anything like that, keep these companies from being taken too seriously. There's already many events where the censorious nature of China's massive bureaus of social control where they "shut down" any kind of negative speech about China. These events will certainly damage China's reputation and continue to do so, keeping games like this on the low key until the fateful day that the Chinese take their country back from the communists.
They capitalized on the New Media Douchebag, where it's Cool to be Negative (a trend wave they were riding from the few years prior blowout known as Angry Video Game Nerd).
People still ride this wave today. Negativity sells.
Dude Crowder did a show after the 2020 election where he drove to registered voter's houses to show they were abandoned to point out the voter fraud. He was all in on the steal.
