It's all fake. It's all groupthink training. It's all propaganda.
USAID paid nearly 500M to fund Internews. What do they do?
They trained Journalists. 70,000 of them, and implemented the media policies of 21 countries.
Then they gave free production equipment to produce 6,200 hours of television and radio programs.
They have someone sitting as VP of Comms on Reddit.
The woke agenda was NOT organic.
@Grummz@Naughty_Dog I don't base game purchases on the ideologies of the voice actors - as long as the game itself isn't shoving an ideology down my throat.
If the characters and story are well-written, art direction is solid, and gameplay is engaging, I'm open.
I hope they don't F this up.
Joe Rogan wrecking NASAโs version of the pretend moon landing for 5 minutes straight is truly delicious.
I think weโre quickly reaching point of full disclosure. NASA soon will have no choice.
I've had enough of this so-called "House ethics report" on Matt Gaetz. The underlying allegations are so laughable and flimsy that the only purpose of it is to smear Gaetz.
Here are the facts:
The "report" comes YEARS after DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims. Why did the DOJ drop the investigation? Because the claims hinge on the testimony of two witnesses who have such gaping credibility issues, that even the DOJ, which hates Gaetz, knew no jury would ever convict him.
Who are these witnesses?
1) Joel Greenberg, who has been described as "one of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time" and who has literally made false sex allegations against a politician before! He accused an innocent school teacher who was running against him for tax-collector of having sex with an underaged student. Sound familiar? A judge called the lies "downright evil."
2) Greenberg became embroiled in a series of crimes and faced a possible 27 years in federal prison. One of these crimes was having sex with an underage minor, the same 17-year-old who is the central character in the claims against Gaetz. BUT, even Greenberg claims he didn't know she was underage because she LIED about her age! She is now active on OnlyFans, selling sexual access for money, and has appeared in porn videos. Go figure.
According to a 2023 lawsuit, Greenberg repeatedly begged Gaetz to secure a pardon for him, and when Gaetz refused, Greenberg vowed vengeance.
An inmate who shared a cell with Greenberg told two federal agents that Greenberg told him that the woman โwould be willing to adopt Greenbergโs lie in hopes of a future financial benefit." Greenberg admitted to paying the woman's legal bills in a text to a friend!
Yes this is all ridiculous. Yes it is all clearly contrived lies. Will the media still use it to tar and feather Gaetz? Absolutely. Geatz has made a career of picking fights no one else in Washington had the stomach to pick. They fear him at the DOJ more than anyone.
And that's exactly why we need him running the Department of Justiceโhe's the only one with the guts to fight the most important fights at the DOJ and root out the corruption we've seen on full display these last 8 years.
CONFIRM MATT GAETZ.

The Centennial Generation
I have previously described what I refer to as the "Centennial" cusp generation, which I distinguish from both Millennials and Generation X
Here are the key points of my theory:
Time Frame:
Born Roughly Between: 1981 and 1990, although some definitions might slightly vary, making them younger than traditional Gen X but older than core Millennials
Unique Cultural Identity:
Last Analog Generation: Centennials are described as the last generation to have experienced significant parts of childhood without pervasive digital technology. They remember the transition from analog to digital life, including the introduction of the internet, but weren't born into it like Millennials.
Cultural Nostalgia and References:
90s Pop Culture: They have a deep connection to and nostalgia for 90s pop culture, including TV shows, music, and the general vibe of that era. Shows like "Batman: The Animated Series," "Gargoyles," and other early Nickelodeon shows were significant to their childhood identity. Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, No Doubt, were key bands.
9/11 occurred during high school for Centennials and many joined the military as a result
Technological Transition:
Digital Transition: This generation has lived through the significant technological shifts from dial-up internet to broadband, and from no cell phones to having them become common, but not ubiquitous from birth.
Economic and Social Challenges:
Financial Crisis: Many were entering or already in the workforce during the Global Financial Crisis, which shaped their views on work, money, and economic security
Independence and Self-Reliance:
Cusp Generation: They embody aspects of both Gen X's independence (due to less parental oversight in the pre-digital era) and the communal aspects of Millennials but with fewer of what might be described as Millennials' 'hangups'โless entitlement or different expectations regarding career and life.
Identity:
Centennial Identity: Simply put, Centennials don't act like Gen X or core millennials, necessitating the separate label
Social Media and Internet Use:
Late Adoptions: While they use social media, they might not have the same level of digital native intuition as Millennials or Generation Z, having adapted to these technologies later in life
Centennial Theory positions this group as having a particular vantage point due to their experiences straddling two major generational cohorts, experiencing both the end of an analog childhood and the beginning of the digital age. Their identity, according to this theory, is shaped significantly by these transitional experiences, making them distinct in cultural, technological, and economic terms.
@AngelaBelcamino You know Trump hasn't been inaugurated yet.
And he hasn't implemented any new policies since his administration isn't in charge yet.
And even if he had, it would take time for the economy to be affected.
You must be trolling.
...right?
@GenePark This game is an insult to fans
Worst writing I've ever seen
Mustache-twisting villains
Sidelined legacy characters and story arcs
Childish party members
Lack of player choice or consequence
Boring, repetitive combat
Childish tone and design
Ham-fisted messaging
Its just awful.
@VampyNeoxie As soon as Taash asked her question, literally opened the map and fast traveled to stop this conversation from happening.
Worst. Writing. Ever.
