Starfield is just a mess. I think Todd assumed he could ride the Skyrim goodwill into the sunset with his subsequent games because he’s consistently failed to deliver since then. I love the jank of a good Bethesda game because at its heart you have a true rpg that lets you roam and complete quests how you see fit. Starfield removed the roaming and the exploration and left some very mediocre storytelling and quests in its wake. Without that magic you’re just left with increasingly awful jank that can’t be ignored.

Thank god for Xbox game pass, I was only out about 15 dollars and was able to try the game without committing 70 dollars.

It’s Hollywood. Think about how we now know like every major rockstar from the 70s thru the 90s was openly having sex with teenagers. Now look at what we have uncovered about the rape based economy of movies and tv. These guys were raping men women and children with impunity for decades. It’s no wonder that their films would reflect that.

Up till now and likely still today, if you wanted to be successful in hollywood you weren’t getting a seat at the table until they got exactly what they wanted. Try to resist and watch as your career went up in flames. Ashley Judd remembers.

It’s not surprising at all that this time period was all just an extension of that. Working child rape into movies was just them expressing themselves.

That’s fair

Not with that attitude. Normalize gay pornography in Disney movies!

Just do a deep dive on all the super Fucking uncomfortable 80s and 90s tv shows and movies where it’s totally acceptable for an adult to have a sexual encounter with a child. It’s sold as a gag or the adult ‘ struggles with their urges’ or whatever. Totally normal, haha funny.

Imagine if there were a movie like Leon the professional that featured a gay man or a transgender person. The world would lose its mind and string up the director for child abuse.

I’m in full support of lgbt characters that are ‘normalized’ and treated like everyone else. It’s such a non issue it’s crazy to me that it’s even a concern in anyone’s mind.

Would anyone like to run a statistical analysis of the number of gay characters that have been present in Disney movies, or really movies in general?

They’re forcing gay characters on us! Help I’m being oppressed! Chill the Fuck out and watch literally 99 percent of all movies that have ever been made if you’re worried about being underrepresented.

Let’s sit down and watch all of the movies that feature a white savior ‘knowing what’s best’ for poor and minority characters. Look at their unbridled altruism! They don’t have to associate with those pesky poors but they choose to do it on account of their saintliness! Get the fuck outta here.

The book is no doubt banned for causing CEOs to feel bad. Certainly can’t have that.

The problem is that it’s extremely difficult to tease out what the impact is when pretty much everyone is exposed to it and has it in their system. Are there connections between these chemicals and autism or cancer? We are just starting to see the preliminary data on the subject.

For me it’s a matter of not being interested in waiting to find out 30 years down the road. My personal belief is that there is no such thing as food safe plastic and especially not when it’s heated or stored for long periods. I believe that there is and will continue to be a concerted effort to downplay any uncovered impact and to ensure till the last second that no steps are taken to regulate the billion dollar plastics/ manufacturing industry. The spice must flow just as the plastics must flow.

Maybe that’s a bit too far in the conspiracy theory vein but name a more iconic duo than large corporations and covering up known flaws and risks for the sake of profit. If nothing else I do not think you lose anything by shifting to glass and certain metals for cooking and storing food. And steps have to be taken to minimize exposure to food packaging that is sprayed with pfas. Looking at you, literally all fast food packaging.

Couple these revelations with what we know about hyper processed foods and it’s no wonder why so many Americans are dumb as Fuck and have so many health problems. We are being poisoned because of our insistence on convenience. We literally have great options for all of these things that are more sustainable and less toxic but we still can’t be inconvenienced by a paper wrapper on a hamburger that might end up a little wet on the ride home.

Of course even with all these steps there’s only so much one can do when you’re literally inhaling plastic from the atmosphere. But it’s certainly a move in the right direction.

It’s only an estimate. It’s closer to only 20 percent not producing antibodies. Some percentage of that is people having immuno compromise and not developing humeral immunity even though they’ve likely been exposed. Then there’s testing failure. None of these tests are 100 percent sensitive.

I do believe though like what. Ten to fifteen percent of people have isolated for three years and not gotten it. I’d buy that for sure. And there are a lot of places where you just don’t encounter people often. People that naturally were distanced from others just sort of…kept doing what they were doing.

This is just multiple ways of saying what I said. Outside of some extreme outliers every person has come in contact with the virus. But that doesn’t always translate to extreme illness or even mild illness. As you said some people are naturally resistant or have other means of a defense that doesn’t lead to a significant illness after exposure.

So really the more accurate thing to say is that you never got sick from your covid exposure. Again you have to divide this further into those who genuinely have never had cold like symptoms since 2023 and those who are just in denial about it. I’ve come across a few people who proudly claim they’ve never had it but have shown up to work coughing and hacking. Lol sure you haven’t.

Yeah people are confusing subclinical disease with not ever having it. Outside of total extreme isolation you had it at some point. You didn’t know you had it. You were in denial about having it. But you had it.

Tests are not 100 percent sensitive. Or many people just chose not to test themselves. But if you were interacting with the general population in the past 3 years you have had covid.

There were multiple people on 4chan that were abusing corpses. One guy had a female cadaver and he was uh. Not doing good things with it.

I remember that. For a couple weeks that guy was just posting pictures of him putting his dick in a skull and I think other human remains.

There’s nothing you can do. Not only in regards to this encounter, in general.

Hey man nice try, you did your best.

Does this somehow absolve you of a shit take? No it does not. Don’t get mad because you got called on it. Be mad at yourself for failing to think critically.

Buying into the bullshit I see. Great look my guy. Even if it were true (it’s not), you’re gonna have a real hard sell trying to prove that point when 3 years of Biden looks a whole hell of a lot less demented and more cohesive than 4 years of Trump.

One comes off as an old man who still has his faculties. The other comes off as a raving madman who can barely string a cohesive string of words together without everyone in the room struggling to figure out if he had a stroke or not.

While there’s a lot to be said about the elderly being in these extremely important political roles, I’ll take 8 years of Biden over one more second of Trump or any of the next 6 republican candidates combined.

To come to any other conclusion after everything we have seen is essentially an endorsement of madness and anti American propaganda perpetuated by internal traitors and external enemies. Full stop. No debate.

So in so many words, congratulations, you played yourself. And we are here to see it. That’s not embarrassing or anything.

Yeah I think in general this would be on the milder end of the spectrum. Also the reason I found that answer is because I guess people were claiming to have his cremated remains in jewelry. I didn’t actually read the article since google just summarizes it but I bet people were selling them.

People truly will do anything to make a buck.

Well hey I did a quick check and it looks like MJ was buried not cremated so chances are good!

You could get phones like that overseas. There was way more variety and a bunch more models that never got released in the west.
