I thought their space whale game was Beyond These Stars, are there space whales in Before We Leave, too?

Doesn’t look like anything to me.

It didn’t pop, but it did release a bunch of hot air while hilariously zipping randomly around the room making a raspberry sound.

I’m all for AI rights! That’s why I want to know when someone is abusing their mechanical slaves for their own amusements (or profit).

It sounds like a Banjo Kazooie character.

There’s psychology that goes along with it, it’s not just scientific classification. It’s also about ego.

Considering her predilections, that may be what she wants.

It could just mean they’re leaning away from depressing melodrama.

Honestly I just wanted to take the piss out of Lindelof. He’s a talented writer… but like Abrams, what he creates isn’t good. It’s just easy to consume for the masses.

There’s no escaping your biases.

Only if you believe that.

Bad writing, mostly.

Plenty of verified people provide disinformation and trolling. There’s an entire American cable news channel dedicated to it. Several now, really.

The problem isn’t that people spread disinformation, it’s that people believe it without verifying. We need to increase peoples ability to utilize critical thinking skills, not somehow stem the unending tide of bullshittery.

There will always be snake oil salesman seeking to profit off the gullibility of the general public. The solution isn’t to kill all the salesman, it’s to teach people to be less gullible.

Anything that Damon Lindelof isn’t a part of has a chance of being good, though.

They do!

Of course only one parties main representative took us out of the Paris Climate Accord, WHO, banned Trans and non-binary genders, pardoned over a thousand insurrectionists, and made weirdly aggressive threats against some of our biggest allies… on the first day they took power.

Which isn’t even speaking of all the policies and appointments they’ve made over the last several decades that have negatively impacted everyone but the already rich and powerful. To a degree that far outpaces the “other side”.

I don’t disagree that they both make decisions that ultimately lead to pain for the majority of people, and most especially the most vulnerable and the most different… but one does it significantly more than the other.

Then what?

Even if enough people gathered together to overthrow the government (the last time people tried, it was only a couple thousand of the most fanatic… and they weren’t on the side of angels), what would you do then? If it were that easy to just “make a good government”, don’t you think someone would have done it by now?

Even the often lauded French weren’t able to accomplish that, they’re currently between a Macron and a hard place of right leaning bullshit.

We need more than a revolution of arms, we need a revolution of thought. People are well aware that there’s problems, but no one can really agree on what that problem truly is. We all just point fingers at each other like some Spider-man meme instead of trying to figure out how to make the situation better. Or just hope someone else does the hard work of making our lives better *cough* Luigi *cough* while we sit on our asses and complain about how much everything sucks.

We need to stop working against everything and start working towards something. Until we do that, we’re just going to keep running around a circle… one that’s leading us directly down the drain “both sides” are leading us down.

So don’t comment at all.

You could always save it and watch it later if you actually give a shit.

I’m sure they also say that people can’t see child porn or doxx links either.

Does your absolutist approach to “free speech” cover those as well?

“You guys”?

No one’s saying they can’t see something.

They can go to X themselves if they want to see it. They just won’t be able to do it from those subreddits.

this is the exact kind of censorship that is causing communities that don’t support mod abuse to have an advantage

I honestly can’t tell if this is a defense of mod abuse or not.

“I agree with your argument, but I’m going to be contrarian anyways cause fuck it”
