  • 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.






  • 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







  • i mean, not that self righteous nor nonsense when the joke is literally a large portion of us are aware that blizzard is a shite corrupt company with shite corrupt money grab tactics, specializing in hyping shit up and then letting people down while not giving a fuck.

    better still, people just shell out that money to be let down time and time again, and lo, the complaints will start, the articles get fired up, and we have nice again enter into the blizzard cycle of of disappointment.

    i put them on fucking watch with the shit they were doing for cataclysm. diablo 3 had a strong start but was overall meh.

    overwatch was good for a time, then went to shit. they made change after change and it eventually became largely meaningless.

    overwatch 2 is a joke. diablo mobile was a super obvious money grab.

    and now tadaaaaaa diablo, and tadaaa lackluster promises and pay traps.

    and people bitching about it.

    and then articles getting written about it.

    the circle of blizzard life.





  • i worked for a hybrid hosting and cloud provider that was partnered with Electronic Arts for the SimCity reboot.

    well half way through they decided our cloud wasn’t worth it, and moved providers. but no one bothered to tell all the outsourced foreign developers that they were on a new provider architecture.

    all the shit storm fail launch of SimCity was because of extremely shitty code that was meant to work on one cloud and didn’t really work on another. but they assumed hurr hurr all server same.

    so you guys got that shit launch and i knew exactly why and couldn’t say a damn thing for YEARS
