Not saying much, I’ve heard farts that were more profound.

Same reason I don’t provide a source magic and wizards and fairy tales not existing. Anyone stupid enough to believe obvious rubbish doesn’t care what your source is.

Fact checking, obviously.

Your original post asks if you’re a journalist for fact checking articles, we got to these comments from that.

Where do you think sources end? If I mention that biden is currently president, do I need a source linked? If 1+1 is 2, do I need to provide a source? Do I need to source the definitions of every word? Do I need a source that vaccines don’t cause autism? That 5g doesn’t cause COVID?

It’s hard to discuss this without knowing what text you’re referring to, and if I go back to check if you mentioned it I’ll lose my comment because I’m using an app. Some things don’t need sourcing because they’re accepted facts, like who the president is, basic science, simple maths, etc, but most important, the things that an article should always cite are the claims the article itself is making. I wouldn’t cite sources for 5G not causing covid, for example, unless the article was specifically about that.

…yes…but you do understand a journalist is someone who writes/reads news right? They’re not just sat around with sources for no reason, those sources are specifically so they can report news…that’s the point. What do you think a source is!?

Ok how are you fact checking, are you finding people with expertise and contacting them or googling and using whatever shite websites come up as a source? If the latter, how are you verifying the veracity of those sources?

And yes sources are required but that doesn’t mean that’s ALL that’s required or you wouldn’t have newspapers or organisations, just some people calling themselves journalists that have a bunch of sources, but nobody knows what for because they’ve never produced a piece of journalism for them to be of use.

The idea used to be that you find a news source that is the most reliable. Now half the world just finds the one that confirms their biases the most, and their biases are fucking stupid after decades of lies and education cuts from various rich cunts.

No? For a start, journalists write news, are you writing it down in an article afterwards?

Yes…yeeees… Tell me how to get into one so I can ensure don’t accidentally do it…

Tiny Little Robots by Cage the Elephant.

“I know that you’re tired of this
Cause you’re a robot
They designed your life
But true souls said you know what’s right
And you can join us on the other side”

Ha! They must have missed the billboards, front page newspaper articles, TV reports, and public service annou- oh wait.

Rayman? Owned by Ubi right? Why does it need kick-starting?

That seems to be the way it goes DMing. Spend many hours planning things and then everyone cancels repeatedly because they just…made other plans on the day we usually play. Plan a sequence around a character and then the relevant player doesn’t turn up that session. We’ve been in the first act of our campaign for 7 months. Played 10 sessions.

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I love the story. It’s one of the best sci-fi stories in games, with tonnes of memorable characters and moments.

Gameplay gets better as you go through whilst the story suffers a bit, and they have their issues, but there isn’t anything else quite like them even now.

Uhuh and when an innocent person is murdered by a group of vigilante morons, because murderous groups never, ever stop to check, every single one of those vigilante morons can go to prison so they can do the crime for their time. Law and order exists for a reason, imprisonment is the consequence of their actions. If they’re assaulted, that’s assault, if they’re murdered, that’s murder.

Besides. Why the fuck would you want to lower yourself like that? Why go to prison for a rapist, is it worth it? If you think so, that just means the rapist will take your life as well.

It’s been so long that Arrested Development references are never unexpected, but this is the closest.

Derealisation, may want to see a therapist if it happens regularly.

Look at it this way, if the world wasn’t real and it was a simulation or something, it wouldn’t make any difference. Whether it’s a computer architecture or an actual universe or some other unknowable thing, we are less than a grain of sand in an unimaginably immense desert. Nothing means anything and everything is chaos, so the only meaning behind life is the one that means something to you.

Ha, bias. You don’t need to be biased to dislike Tucker Carlson, you just need to be unbiased.

“I’ve already disabled all the sponsor rubbish and stuff”

Ooh that’s useful, thanks!

Now I just need a way to stop it dumping other stuff in there, making the shortcuts function more like the recent sites bit that I’ve already disabled.
