Yeah I looked it up after writing that - it’s a bit of column A and a bit of column B:
She was made canonically female and light side aligned in a guide/companion book released in 2006, but with no name given
She was given the name as part of that book tie in to TOR in 2011 like you and the first guy mention
This is the worst part. They’ve retcon’d the heroes of two generations into queers.
I’m pretty sure the exile was canonically made female years before the mmo. I think in a comic book they made her a human female and gave her a name
Well-worded maxim, almost sounds like it comes from a Kennedy lol
is kind of badass
Lol, yeah apparently too many people thought like you so they’ve dumped that story and decided to pivot to “he’s a man-whore”. You gotta wonder where the dem strategists are at these days. Probably re-assigned to more important matters like getting as many ms13 members into America before the election as possible
Even if he is a bit too close with rabbi schmuley
The article explores the connections between Jeffrey Epstein, the Mega Group (a network of influential Jewish businessmen), and Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. It suggests that Epstein's operations may have involved leveraging high-profile individuals for blackmail, potentially linked to Israeli interests. The author discusses how these relationships might intersect with broader geopolitical dynamics and the implications for power structures in the U.S. The piece raises questions about espionage, influence, and the darker aspects of elite networks.

ChatGPT The article highlights several connections between Jeffrey Epstein and Israeli individuals or entities, including:
Mega Group: A network of influential Jewish businessmen that Epstein was associated with, which is said to have ties to Israeli interests. Mossad: The suggestion that Epstein's activities may have involved espionage and blackmail, potentially serving Israeli intelligence objectives. Notable Figures: Mention of specific Israeli individuals who had relationships with Epstein, raising concerns about the implications of these connections for U.S.-Israel relations. Overall, the article implies that Epstein's operations could reflect a broader pattern of espionage and influence involving Israel.
You said: Please expand on all three of these subjects with specific details ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT Sure, here’s a more detailed exploration of those three subjects:
-
Mega Group The Mega Group is a network of wealthy Jewish businessmen, many of whom have substantial influence in various industries, including finance and media. Key figures associated with this group include individuals like Les Wexner, the former CEO of L Brands, who had a close relationship with Epstein. The group is thought to facilitate connections and support for Israel, and Epstein's ties to this network suggest he was involved in fostering relationships that could benefit both his interests and those of the group.
-
Mossad Mossad, Israel's national intelligence agency, is often linked to clandestine operations and espionage. The article posits that Epstein's alleged practices of blackmailing high-profile individuals could have been utilized to gather compromising information that might serve Israeli interests. The implication is that Epstein’s activities went beyond mere financial gain and could be connected to a broader espionage framework, potentially aimed at influencing political figures or gaining strategic advantages for Israel.
-
Notable Figures The article mentions several Israeli figures who had connections to Epstein, including:
Ehud Barak: The former Prime Minister of Israel, who was seen visiting Epstein's properties and has faced scrutiny regarding his associations with Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell: While British, her connections with Israel through her family and business interests have been noted, further intertwining the web of relationships around Epstein. These associations raise questions about the extent of influence and power dynamics at play, suggesting that Epstein’s network may have operated in ways that aligned with Israeli interests or goals.
Together, these elements paint a picture of a complex interplay between wealth, power, and espionage, with Epstein potentially acting as a conduit for interests that align with those of influential Israeli individuals and agencies.
Hope that helps! I look forward to your next carrier pigeon sometime next month!
Imagine being too lazy to google “Maria farmer Whitney Webb mega group” and instead cry about format:
Imagine taking two days to respond with “I made it twenty minutes into your proof before quitting…here’s a bunch of paragraphs on why you’re lazy”
Do you want me to have an ai summarize it for you? Is this begging the question?
Lmao
I only made it through about a third of it.
Opinion disregarded. I guess you got bigger fish to fry running c/lgbt lmao
“Bubble” just means “overvalued relative to what it is actually capable of at the moment”
Remember, there was a “dot-com” bubble which burst, but it’s not like internet 1.0 was bad/useless, it was just overvalued relative to what it could actually produce at the time. Weed stocks were a massive recent bubble, it’s not like weed isn’t popular, it’s just that the stocks were basically elaborate pump n’ dump schemes often enough. Similar things are happening all over the ai space
A real smörgåsbord for the boys
I almost included this one in the list but didn’t, because I had to skip through a few bits, but it’s directly relavent here:

It seems M$ has been gimping AMD CPUs for months now, which adds some weight to the idea that the big players in ai are manipulating things to favor Nvidia
A lot of the major companies in America really just see themselves as investment firms that actually make nothing.
Worst part imo is that it results in nothing but soulless, design-by-committee pap; incapable of even approaching “artistic expression”. The second worst part is that because demons are incapable of creation, the only place they can direct their vast wealth is to acquiring beloved IPs and hollowing them out into skinsuits
:)
Honestly, I think all the videos have general interest/value even without a personal experience with the area, so don’t let (for example, and to anyone reading) the mention of “the spreadsheet simulator EVE” scare you off from (yet another) interesting example of developers shooting themselves and their GaaS model in the leg, which seems to be disastrously common these days (concord, bungie’s collapse, BioWare’s anthem faceplant and selling off swtor, fo76 launch, etc etc). We see even the “untouchable titans” like WoW and EVE aren’t immune
These are practically the same idea just from a slightly different perspective. In both cases you, the player, are an aspect of the godhead made manifest in Mundus
Wilfred was pretty fackin hilarious m8
Conversation prompt:
Is Lorkhan not actually “missing”, but incarnating as each game’s player character? Interesting thoughts from the video’s comments
I have a theory... You, the player are Lorkhan. Much like in Morrowind, the player is written to have the ability to reincarnate (save/recall). Every game there after, you have this ability. This video mentions the belief Lorkhan is forced to live countless mortal lives. It would make sense if the player is Lorkhan, but doesn't know it. I would love to see something like this in an Elder Scrolls game being fleshed out.
The idea that the player is Lorkhan also becomes meta when you consider the "one was made to satisfy the other" text. Mundus, the world of the Elder Scrolls, was made to satisfy the Heart of Lorkhan, the beating desire of players to experience a new world.
Well, I’ve got maybe 5-10 hours played across the last 2 decades but I’ve never dived in and played it the same way I played Oblivion and Skyrim. I kept waiting for the Morroblivion then Skywind/MorrowRim (lol idek which of those are real) mods which never seemed to materialize, just because I was always put off by the early game clunkiness of playing a game where I swung my sword through an enemy but miss because of a near-zero chance to hit. TES has never had great combat but as you go back to the older games it becomes more and more annoying to me. I’ve even got Daggerfall somewhere on my computer from a giveaway, I don’t think I’ve run the program once lol.
Great stories though
The stand-out part to me was the idea of treating “the focus of a people on past glory versus future greatness” as an axis of analysis that can be applied to any group or person
The in-universe stuff is interesting in its own right, the idea of “the monomyth reflected differently in vastly different cultures” is quite intriguing, and reminiscent of the real world notions of the monomyth and Jungian/Campbellian Archetypal Hero. The Warp in the West and other dragonbreaks making multiple truths true is another interesting idea which ties into it.
I know it’s a bit of a weird ask to present the community with an hour long video about obscure lore from a series most here probably don’t have much hope for in the future, but I think there are a bunch of interesting nuggets in there that even people who don’t really know much about TES can get out of it. I’ve never even played the first three but admittedly I’m the kind of person to enjoy reading some wiki articles from a game even if I’ll never play it.
That’s funny, I thought you were making basically the opposite point, so thanks for clarifying
That’s a fair enough angle I can understand. Basically just streamers with privacy or some other personal concern now have an avenue to try to compete in this modern world. That’s whatever. And while I do see the same kind of issues across streaming in general (i.e. simping and pandering), they seem really pronounced here. I’m not totally sure why it feels that way. Maybe the use of the avatar is making me see it as inherently less “genuine”. Then again I’m the kinda guy who just can’t wrap my head around donating to 99.99% of streamers in general, but that’s just me. The few I can somewhat understand are the ones who produce something with some modicum of artistic or other merit. Independent journalists, Sam Hyde, those kinds of channels.
Sure, like I said in my original question there are conceivable reasons why someone would want to be a streamer without necessarily linking their real face/identity to it. I get that much. What I don’t get is the fandom. It’s turning grown men into something more unrecognizable than fucking kpop fans. And it’s not even like “oh we’re getting a real glimpse at who this girl is, she’s 100% genuine and the anime avatar is just for personal reasons” - I guaran-fucking-tee these chicks, “corporate” or not, are not being honest about themselves and their lives. For the corporate ones, it’s probably written into their contracts that they can’t been seen in public with their boyfriend/husband, much less discuss their existence on stream.
Explain it to me please, how is this any different than being a pokimane simp but almost objectively gayer? I’m open to changing my opinion I’m just letting you know where it currently stands
SKYNET-CHAN goes active
i can fix her
Best one I’ve seen is “anecdata”. But frankly his opinion could have come to him in a dream for all I care, he’s basically the only one who’s shared his view openly in response to my questions, everyone else is just voting on his comment or telling me I don’t get it without telling me how I’m not getting it
I think it’s incredibly telling that the hard sciences have practically stalled out in terms of advancement, only ever capable of spiraling deeper and deeper down their holes of “specialization”, while the polymaths, the true geniuses capable of bridging the gaps between these chasms seem to be so few and far between.
Rupert Sheldrake, if you haven’t heard of him, is unorthodox when it comes to the priesthood of science. A highly accomplished biochemist by training - but openly religious (Anglican upbringing) - he is one of the relative few in the scientific world who is capable of entertaining ideas without necessarily believing them which I think helps contribute to his ability to bridge these wide divides and come upon what could end up being the early markings of a paradigm shift (or even multiple).
The basic idea presented here is “panpsychism”, the idea that psyche, aka consciousness, exists in some form or another, infused throughout the entire universe. This would not only explain the “consciousness of degrees” that we observe in, for example, animals like dogs, whales, dolphins, elephants, etc (i.e. a more “limited” or different form of consciousness than our own) but also bridge a long-standing gap that has been created between “religious understandings” and “scientific understandings” of the universe, imo
