Sadly, for many people, “factual” means “does it agree with what I already think?”.
Those people are lost causes.

I find that, at least with local Canadian Politics, they’re pretty accurate at least. So I’m guessing it would be similar for the U.S, although the number of so-called “media” sources is far larger.
Unless there’s another one that looks very very similar, I’m guessing its:
I think Married With Children has managed to come through unscathed because of Ed O’Neil and who he is as a person. He’s so much the opposite of Al Bundy and has always been very open about that. The show as a result falls into that same category as South Park or All in the Family; We understand that the jokes are meant to be satire via absurdity; It’s so over the top and the actor is so different in real life that we just get it.
Compare that to something like Home Improvement, where we know that the humour isn’t meant to be absurdist, and we know that Tim Allen really is a douche.
I never saw those moments as Kif being homophobic. I read it as a subordinate being repulsed by the idea of seeing his commanding officer naked.
It’s been changed to “Urectum” because scientists got tired of the infantile jokes.
Honestly, our moon.
I firmly believe that our moon gives us the solar system in short order.
Fuel in the form of Helium-3 (if we can figure that out). Plenty of building material. Much lower gravity well that will allow larger payloads into it’s orbit and larger ships to be constructed. As well as that lower gravity well meaning better fuel efficiency in launching just about any trajectory to anywhere else in the solar system.
Once we have the Moon, we’re 90% of the way to a solar system spanning species. Mars is cool, but not useful in any real sense other than bragging rights.
The new Russian ones are supposed to dodge interceptors at their final stage and fly crazy fast.
The war in Ukraine has proven that what they say they can do and what they can actually do, militarily speaking, is vastly different. I’d be surprised at this point if a russian ICBM isn’t just a homing pidgeon with a grenade strapped to it.
Wherever they go, Tim Horton’s Beiber-bites eventually follow. So yeah…in this case I’d agree with that assessment.
I hadn’t noticed. but I have no real comparison since I was on Linux long before starting either title, so I’ve never played either on Windows.
They seem to run well enough, so even if its faster on windows and that’s the tradeoff for having no Windows in my house, I’m cool with it.
I’d say yes; with the mods available 2 is still WELL worth it. i n fact I’m doing yet another play through at this moment.
1 is also excellent, especially with the Long War overhaul installed.
Most of mine have already been mentioned; KSP, Rimworld, Stellaris.
So I’ll add one of my all time favourite games and say XCom and XCOM 2. I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into xcom 2 with various mods.
Close second is Crusader Kings 2, and close third after that is Empire Total War.
And of course CIV. It’s not a proper list without CIV.
Nothing is unknowable. It’s just unknowable for now.
Actually. As someone who worked in a small radio station news department for a pretty long time, I’m actually not accusing them of malfeasance as much as I’m accusing them of “over-eagerness” if that makes sense.
There’s just too much information floating around thanks to every Tom, Dick and Harry having a blog, or a tik tok, or a twitter account, all claiming to be “insiders” in one way or another. Far too much for the media to be able to properly vet every single piece of information that they get thoroughly. And it leads to mistakes.
But as an ex-media person, I aver that it’s not the media “making shit up” as the narrative nowadays seems to be. It’s more that they are reporting everything faster than ever in the hopes of beating the competition and as a result getting a lot of things wrong.
Does it make them complicit…absolutely. They need to do better. But it make them the “evil” ones. No. Not at all. The boots on the ground, so-to-speak, the everyday journalist’s job, passion, raison d’etre has always been to report the news and bring it to the people. To speak truth to power and all that rigamarole. The problem is that there’s too much information floating around to do that properly anymore.

They’ve learned from the previous doctor that when a prominent Palestinian “dies during interrogation”, there are literally zero consequences. So fuck it, let’s get this guy back into custody and let the problem take care of itself…
I guarantee you that was the thought process.
So according to the media, Russia is both “outproducing the west in artillery shells by a factor of three” and having trouble producing artillery leading it to seek tighter cooperation with North Korea.
Both of these things can’t be true…
you have already given up on life and the world
Yeah, that sounds about accurate for me…
You don’t get to that level of “rich” by having the capacity to self-reflect.
Serious question;
Am I over-thinking it to be skeeved out by the phrase “blacks” for Trump?
It’s basically saying that their main defining characteristic as a group is their colour rather than anything about who they are culturally.
It would be like a politician here in Canada courting the indigenous vote by holding a rally called “Reds for Pollieve” or something.
I don’t see that really being talked about or mentioned and wonder am I just over-thinking it? Or is it just that it’s just one more fucked up thing that gets buried under a dozen other fucked up things…
