I am not gonna live tweet 2000 Mules but I think it speaks to how deep in the fever swamps this movie is that he introduces a panel including Dennis Prager and Charlie Kirk by name only, assuming the viewers already know exactly who these people are OK I can't resist the part where the True the Vote scammers explain one ballot box had ~1900 ballots but they only picked up 271 cell phone geolocation signals. because obviously they tracked EVERY PHONE. or when a guy clearly deposits only one ballot but they claim its a stack

as far as i can tell, what tech ceos really mean by metaverse is "we would like you to log back into second life but while wearing an annoying headset and your wallet hanging out. blockchain" this shit is so stupid. the internet that already exists is orders of magnitude more advanced, functional, and blurrier in terms of boundaries between offline/online life than the original cyberpunk metaverse concept was for the most part, at least excluding cybernetic implants

lmao this is just redefining "pay" to mean "loot boxes". you can already get "paid" to play games if you mean grinding for loot or to level up someone else's character. Blockchain Brain is a cancer independent.co.uk/life-style/gad… "The implications resulting from this model are revolutionary for gaming"

Yes, it means pay to win and loot grinding mechanics are going to be rebranded as an "internal Blockchain economy" as an excuse to start shoving them down consumers' throats even more

I'm almost certainly wrong but I feel like the question of the odds of Facebook being the future monopolist power of the "metaverse" comes down to: how many people do you know who own or use a VR headset? this feels a bit like late-90s early-2000s Microsoft, minus the.. very important fact they actually antitrusted Microsoft. Facebook is probably not capable of envisioning whatever the next shift will be, like MS lost on mobile. When's last time FB did anything but buy competitors

Karen Dunn, attorney for the plaintiffs in Charlottesville civil trial, warns the jury that the Nazi defendants will try to make this case about politics, and that it's not about that. It's about proving they engaged in an illegal conspiracy. This goes to the heart of what everyone expects the defense to be--antifa caused the violence, blah blah blah--and how it probably won't work because this case isn't about antifa, it's about whether the defendants engaged in an illegal conspiracy that began well before the rally

the first one is not at all like this (... for example it requires a linear particle accelerator) and because numerous scientists and engineers have spoken out about how LRAD (a sound cannon) and ADS (a directed microwave oven basically) are not at all like this? this article is the closest I have seen to a plausible DEW theory but I still don't buy it (a lot of it amounts to well you COULD build it) nor does it explain how or why nefarious foreign agents would be running everywhere zapping people unchecked google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…

still wishing i had been able to finish the improvised John Carpenter's The Thing DND campaign i DMed half a decade ago i forget how this worked, but i think there was a system wherein players could become Things without knowing (until they "Thing Out"), or if I decided they needed to be aware they were the Thing, I'd pull every player aside separately before a session

if the novel coronavirus was a guy I'd beat him up. I have no shame in saying that. well actually he's probably really strong so I'd likely just glare at him but the spirit is the same maybe if I had like a glass bottle and caught the novel coronavirus off guard, but there's still the possibility of it pretending not to see me until the moment I strike
