On the interior features? I think he means the motors that are making the screens and door move.

It feels like going into a restroom in a slightly upscale restaurant. Nice surfaces, clean, but still very much a public restroom.

"I invented this improbable and stupid reading of your argument. Will you defend it, or will you admit I'm right?"

Yeah, problem is that's working off the CURRENT paradigm, that only lasts another one and a half months.

Well, the situation we're talking about is unfolding right now, and coups tend to move fast one way or another. What other paradigm would be relevant?

At the most fundamental level, it's streaming but instead of a webcam you use motion capture and an avatar. Technically speaking, anyone that does that—and the avatar can range from very simple to very complex, in any number of art styles—is a "vtuber."

In the context it's often used (including in this post), it refers to a loose collection of several talent agencies and their associated streamers, as well as various independent streamers that have connections with them. The agencies are predominantly (maybe entirely?) Japanese, and the industry some loose parallels/crossover with Japanese idols (which are sort of like pop stars crossed with models).

Someone else could probably give you a better rundown, but those are the basics as I understand them.

And here I thought the West's entertainment industries had already been running that experiment for >50 years.

Is Dresden Files hated? Sure, it’s not amazing literature or anything, but it’s fun enough, and not woke. I guess you could argue Murphy is almost a girlboss, but I think that’s a reach, and on the other hand it has some of the most positive and dignified Christian characters among its contemporaries.

If you see a new horror movie getting a lot of media praise, expect woke retardation.

I know that horror is a special level of terrible (the big star director in modern horror is Jordan Peele, after all), but I'm pretty sure your sentence also works just fine without specifying any genre at all.

Even if he just negotiated to buy WOTC from Hasbro, I’d love seeing less woke shit in MtG and D&D. I don’t really know what side of the UB debate Elon would come down on, but at the very least, I think it unlikely he’d make that worse.

Well, it’s not like games are a necessity. You could just not buy it. You could pirate it once a cracked version is out. It’s not like you’re helplessly forced to buy anything that looks slightly promising.

I don't think it's bad that you do that, but it would probably be for the best if you started leaving a comment on your posts giving at least a sentence or two of context.

Indigenous' dictionary definition is "native to an environment," but in my head it basically means "a propaganda word to evoke special status for whatever pathetic guys got colonized because they never left the stone age."

What does Path of Exile have to do with this?

Edit: I realize you probably meant Pillars of Eternity, my bad.

These characters almost could be in Concord, if you just gave them ugly sci-fi gear instead of ugly fantasy gear. It’s that bad.

“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.

I can think of few voices, both literally and metaphorically, that I think there is less desire to hear. Even the libs that loved her didn’t love her, they loved that she was the designated party figure and ”black/a woman/not Trump.” It’s the same kind of “support” that Biden had, it was transferred to Kamala as soon as the media demanded, and now they’ll discard Kamala and latch on to the next media-anointed figure in the exact same way.

Trannies shouldn't even be in the police force in the first place. Or anywhere outside a mental institution, and one that does not subscribe to "gender affirmation."

Well, I don’t know about your growing list, but if you’re going through kotakuinaction2.win, you’re using an older system that’s slightly out of sync with the scored.co domains. That’s why you can’t see someone’s off-KiA2 comments and posts if you click their username, for example, until you go to a scored.co part of the forum. And KiA2 has had other issues that don’t affect the rest of scored, like that recent bug viewing inboxes. So the idea that it might have some connection problem that you aren’t seeing elsewhere isn’t surprising to me.

Why, though? Dom hasn’t been shy about dropping big bans on people. Why should you or I assume he’s doing some weird, circuitous method like this with you in particular?

I think the difficulty is in that it’s not clearly wrong. You could never ever use this as a “red pill the normies”type of thing. If I wasn’t already sold on what kind of evil Google is, I’d probably go “yeah, so?”

But, already being sold on Google being evil, I do have to roll my eyes and laugh a little that their “totally organic AI” came up with the following examples:

  • Grr, those evil Nazis!
  • Grr, those evil Nazis (a little more obliquely).
  • OMG SCHOOL SHOOTINGS!
  • Grr, those evil American settlers!
  • Grr, those evil Nazis!

I’m going to second everything u/vicious_snek6 said, but I’ll also add that even if you say “Sweden should have much more aggressively protected nursing homes… somehow…” which I don’t agree with, that still doesn’t rise to the level of “pulling a Cuomo,” which would have required them to actively force covid patients into nursing homes in order to intentionally infect the elderly and inflate the death rate.

He wasn't rich.

Hey, that’s an interesting past tense. How about 14 years later, after he switched to political commentary and started to get a much, much larger audience? Do you think maybe his financial status might have changed?

And what policies were those? I didn’t think Sweden locked down much at all. Are you saying they should have?
