i’ll spell it out really slow like for ya if it’ll help.

israel’s treatment of the palestinian people is that of an ethnic cleansing.

they are removing their heritage sites.

flooding their farmlands during winter so they’re fucked in the spring.

constantly boxing in all palestinians that live in any of the palestinian territories that still exist.

shooting palestinian women, children

shooting journalists and medics that choose to help or report on the situation.

bulldozing their land and homes to make room for new israeli settlers that will happily steal that land from the palestinians.

responding with disproportionate force after palestinians are goaded into defending themselves. one molotov should not equal days of missile strikes.

they have consistently “accidentally” targeted school buildings and hospitals for missile strikes during disproportionate responses.

basically all of these actions amount to ethnic cleansing, which is a facet of genocide.

israel’s M.O. is to act like nazi lite, then when the world takes notice and outrage occurs, they back off. during that time, they lobby the US government and pull strings and make threats.

and if you criticize israel at all for their behavior on the world stage? well then you’re just a fucking antisemite, and they’ll be quick to call it that.

they spend some of the most money of any world government using social media teams to protect their country’s interests.

you’re looking at smarter nazis with better PR and lots of money.

bethesda announces game concept.

people freak.

bethesda announces game. 

people hype.

bethesda starts hyping the game.

people go fucking nuts hyping the game as a result. their social media team plants those seeds to make it look organic.

a year or more of speculation occurs.

todd howard being his little schmuck self comes out and boasts about their new game.

people lose their god damn minds.

whispers of shitty gameplay start occurring closer to launch.

the masses tell those people to fuck off how could they know, dishonest review etc etc.

the big names in game reviews all review it and give it out of the park amazing reviews.

people go batshit crazy. people are out in the streets killing their parents for a chance at the new bethesda god game.

the game is released and is somewhat playable but jesus fuck is it lacking, it’s buggy, and every character looks like they’ve been updated from skyrim graphics of yore. the story sucks. the game play is empty but goddamn is there a lot to explore.

everyone rushes in like a madman.

everyone realizes the gameplay sucks.

people start bitching.

others say “oh don’t worry, DLC and user created mods will fill the game out nicely.”

years pass.

the unpaid modding community pours their heart and soul into making the game not fucking suck.

after all the DLC has come out (all with mostly positive or mixed reviews on steam) the game will go dark for a year or so.

todd howard wakes from his capitalist vampire coma needing fresh life force. the blood money of his unsuspecting idiot fans.

todd howard makes it into the office and says we could make a new game or we can milk this game for the next decade and a half. quick come up with names to rerelease the game under. game of the year edition. complete edition. master edition. elite edition. remastered. remastered complete. anything works!

over the course of the next three decades, todd howard is fed the blood of bethesda’s fan base.

he is swollen, like a fat tick upon his harkonen throne, waiting to burst.

“the people. they call for a NEW game”, he says, a devilish sneer contorts his face.

and the cycle continues.

and these fucking idiots. every goddamn time.

oh shit this takes me back

“he said he was ire-ish, and our scholars still don’t know what that that means, but we assume it’s that if you draw his ire, he will be angry.”

edit: cancel that. i’m an idiot

AMD needs to hurry the fuck up and catch up in the AI game

all i have to say is show me one truly original thought that doesn’t have a basis in other thoughts and i’ll start thinking this AI learning other people’s styles is a bad thing.

just one.

unfortunately for everyone poo pooing it, the fact of the matter is everything is a remix of a remix of a remix. ai is just one more step in a long line of steps of mimicry and adaptation.

and if someone carbon copies someone else’s work, that’s really obvious and then gets called the fuck out. but if you are taking someone’s style and combining it with subjects they’d never use and other styles, then you’ve just used ai to do the exact thing we’ve always done.

this knee jerk reaction stuff, honestly, i can’t wait for it to dissipate

to know all the answers is… forbidden knowledge

about who? what? must’ve been the wind

none of them, i’d rather not have any extra data on me out there that’s digitally storing it anywhere, even locally.

i keep my odometer and a pulse monitor with me, but they’re both local dumb.

good things corporations are people too so their votes they paid for count right?
