@justvikthor @xDreww24 @Nesign @grok Because you have the ability to look things up for yourself and you're losing that skill by outsourcing it to AIs that are often wrong anyway, contributing to the amount of misinformation on the internet.

Also its a huge waste of water if you dont care about any of that.

Before Elon took over, Twitter had several policies that made it so accounts like BadHombre here who deliberately and consistently posted false information designed to misinform and stir up outrage over fictitious scenarios would be warned and then permanently banned.

But now they are not only allowed to post blatant lies like this, they are encouraged to. In fact, he'll collect a nice paycheck as a reward. Mass spreading lies to feed your hysteria is now a full-time job that can and will pay the bills. You can like Elon, and like that Twitter is considerably more right-leaning after he took over. Whatever. But at least have the awareness to know that this is not okay and should be changed. Media disinformation is dangerous and it does in fact lead to violent rhetoric and action.

(for context, this clip shows a woman crying because her elderly neighbor's door was broken down and ICE stormed in and carried him out half-naked in the snow only to find that they had the wrong guy and dump him off later with zero accountability because they're poorly trained deputized citizens who just want to make cash for grabbing brown people)

I cant believe how perfectly this sums up all my problems with the show and modern Bethesda

[J. Y. Song @Critical_Scribe]

The biggest issue with modern Fallout is that Bethesda, and the fanbase they cultivated with their games, are afraid to move beyond its initial premise.

Shady Sands being reduced to ruins in the show and how they’re handling New Vegas illustrate this, because both of those were beacons that humanity was on the first steps to recovery. There is a lot of violence and shady stuff involved, yes, but slowly and surely humanity was recovering from its sins, and that holds a hopeful message at its core. It’s inspiring and aspirational in many ways.

Modern Fallout does not focus on that. It chooses to wallow in its absurdity and apocalyptic setting while giving continued commentary on the “evils of man”, especially with its “critique” on capitalism through how they were the people that nuked the planet through a stupid plan rather than having it be the consequences of mankind’s predisposition for violence.

That, combined with often illogical, inconsistent, and, frankly, milquetoast writing, creates this shallow, surface level experience that doesn’t make you think, but instead distracts you from thinking. It feels empty after a while, and at its core it feels nihilistic in many ways.

You will tell me that Fallout has always been absurd and it has always had humor, and yes, both of those elements have been present since the beginning, but Bethesda ramped it up and leaned into it while forgetting to actually write something special on the serious side.

Which is why Fallout is in the state it is now, a denigrated shadow of its former self that has abandoned the hope of mankind’s perseverance in return for a fixation on the setting’s absurdity and taking safe shots at some shallow method of societal critique.

People may like it, but compared to what it could be? It’s an abject disappointment for me.

The math on this image is insane.

New Horizons transmitted at 2,000 bits per second from 3 billion miles away. Slower than a 1990s dial-up modem. It took 16 months to download all the flyby data.

The spacecraft had to hit a target box 100km wide, arriving within 150 seconds of schedule, after 9 years of flight. Miss it and the preloaded observation commands point at empty space.

Ten days before arrival, the spacecraft crashed and went into safe mode. Engineers had 72 hours to restore everything.

The probe is now 5 billion miles out, still whispering data back to Earth. We got 50 gigabits of Pluto photos using technology slower than your phone’s bluetooth.

@Hessi_943 @SwisherSama @beanieblakey So your point is actually that this song is so horrible because ice isnt allowed to swear? First that was terribly communicated because what you said is actually totally different, second it's wrong because you could actually make a good song with no swearing. The song's just bad

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@badhombre ^ Once again, his opponents seem to have spread a rumor with no evidence.

Elizabeth Warren...yeah that was cringe for sure.

I'm able to admit one stupid lie from someone who is seen as a fringe member, are you prepared to admit the rest is made up?

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@badhombre Tim Walz did see combat, he served on the Minnesota National Guard. JD Vance said he didn't because he retired before going to Iraq. But he did see combat.

Sarah McBride has never tried to hide the fact that she is transgender, it's readily available information.

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@badhombre Corey Booker is straight, his opponent have questioned his sexuality but there is no evidence he is not straight.

Gavin Newsom had a rich father who divorced quickly from his mother and did not support them for a long time. His mom had to work three jobs. This is verifiable.

@SynthPotato I literally just got my mods working

@AtlaReimagined @DynamoSuperX A child commits murder_suicide without even taking out her target and doesn't help the protagonists besides killing a few faceless red shirts and no one of significance. This is treated as a heroic sacrifice by the show.

MAGA: “This is so crazy!” “It can’t be true!”

Yeah… That’s because it isn’t.

@uniquemoviemom Why does Vader say 'have you come to destroy me' when he's the one that came to this place, not Obi Wan?

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@SynthPotato One thing I love about following you is that you're super enthusiastic about the things you enjoy and promote them with awesome well constructed threads

But if something sucks you're not afraid to just say it sucks and you didn't like it

Don't change

She breaks down the lies from the right.

Well done!

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@jtimsuggs What if there are examples of bad writing for both characters? If it's bad when Anakin does stuff like this, you gotta admit it's pretty bad when Rey does impossible or improbable things to win the day.

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@ReviewsPossum It's incredibly easy to find out for yourself that the game doesn't actually depict any children getting sodomized at all, and that this is a clickbait headline.

Hans Capon in real life is younger than he is depicted in game. In the game, you romance an adult. And it's optional.

[Mammyjams @NewGame618]

@PentecostJesse @JessicaLBurbank And when people say he "started his own business from scratch", that huge loan and generational wealth is what they're referring to?

@wydbanx Ever seen Oldboy?
