No one is ever 'just' asking questions, they're invariably looking past a mountain of known, well established answers to those questions in favor of more personally palatable proposals. Usually if you wait they'll tell you what those are since they already know what answer they're looking for.
also very important to understand that vaccine skepticism did not start with people having trouble with our terrible health system, but rather very wealthy people who couldn’t accept the kid they produced had autism and needed to find something to blame
I think this means they gave it to some human testers and it drove all of them insane
anyways, death to america but more importantly death to the suburban american dream
“hey I’m just asking questions” never leads to good questions
See also troops, cops, worrying about middle class Americans while we bomb Iranian school children
“Vaccine-hesitant” parents are monsters, I understand the bad information ecosystem but that is no excuse for jeopardizing social health
This is not a materialist analysis but so many of you put your empathy in the wrong fucking place
they do not have good faith questions
If your understanding of the process is limited to the fidelity cascade, this LOOKS like a huge breakthrough.
We've been having the same conversation with design systems for the past 10-odd years. "Wow this lets us skip to high fidelity, we're so productive now!"
WRONG!
Vibe coding broke people's brains because they had a bad understanding of the software design process.
The pop culture model goes something like this: start out with a sketch and then render that same idea in progressively finer detail.
So when tools could "skip" to high detail, people went WOW.
this isn’t remotely true! The Christian nationalist death cult has an outsized influence on American politics that is *never* discussed in the media. They were just calling war with Iran a Holy War!
“Iran rejected the ceasefire” yeah I fucking bet they did- why would they ever negotiate with the US again??
To get strong and learn how to use arms so they could then go fight against the Manchu (alluded to in those Biggs scenes you discussed). So there is some revolutionary history pointing to that sort of pipeline
@austinwalker.bsky.social @robzacny.bsky.social re: latest AMCA and Luke wanting to go to the Academy, my no-prize on this is based on Q’ing Dynasty China leading into the 1911 Revolution - Zhu De and I think a young Mao advocated for the underfed, untrained peasantry to go to the Imperial Academy
your soul is wretched
the Democrats are concerned that the Pride colors on the plane will lose them votes in the midterms
157 Democrats just voted to annihilate Iranian children
Elected Democrat Thrilled He Doesn't Have To Do Anything
I've studied this region for years and I think something that gets lost all too often is that we're dealing with a culture where it's considered very upsetting to murder hundreds of children with a missile

you think about all the people that defend the NYT as not imperialist or that working there is totally fine and then they just openly post this petty, absolutely-not-absolving horse shit
If Iran killed 140+ girls in a school bombing in a million years does anyone think this wouldn’t be a front page story in NYT? Does anyone think this would be an A11 story? Does anyone think they would be so faux anal retentive about attributing responsibility for five days? Obviously not.
The claim isnt that the NYT didnt cover it, it’s that they did not make it a news priority which is historically determined by placement on the front page—which it wasn’t. It was A11, the US/Israel responsibility was obscured in a fog of faux confusion & framed as an “Iranian state media” allegation
You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
You are human excrement
You can tell what was and wasn’t determined in the lore and the possibilities of the first movie (tho to some extent the first 2) are more tantalizing than some of the actualities we got
I really do like that it’s this self-contained story, before all the franchise began and got bogged down in worldbuilding. Like you can just watch it on its own and it’s easy to pretend none of the rest exists if you want to.
