Muhammad had a red beard, it's the religion where gingers can be the main character.

Hollywood jews replaced all the gingers with blacks so they had to retaliate

Almost all comments have already been deleted so I couldn't entirely figure out what is going on, but it seems the CEOs main Nazi behaviours are:

1. Refuses to stop using Xtter and Facebook

2. On his Xtter there are some statements to the effect that women in games should be attractive

3. He has changed character creation labels from Body Type A/B to Male/Female

Don't take this the wrong way— Do you actually look like your photos? Or are they a collage of you on your best day, and not rooted in reality?

I've walked out on dates. It's almost 100% of the time because the person misrepresented themself in some way. Maybe they hid something obvious. Maybe they were in denial about aging or weight fluctuation. He could have also built you up in his mind into someone you're not, and then panicked when he was met with reality (this has also happened to me) Who knows. But yea, for leaving after 5 mins, I'm guessing it had to do with an unmet expectation.

Because sometimes you'll have to contact tech support. And they'll refer to you by your stated name. And you'll have to sign off your emails with your stated name. And in my case those emails are sent from a gmail account that proudly shows my real, actual name.

I'm just happy that I had the restraint to avoid naming myself Nate Higgers or the like.

The name I signed up with came from this meme which randomly popped in my mind when registering

Holy shit it is bleak. There are three Harry Potter books in there and two Hunger Games books in there in the top 10 best books.

Then you compare it to the best books of the 20th century ( still one harry potter book in there in top 10 but they are still doing way better than the 21st century.

How did the quality of the "greatest" works fall down so quickly. It is like humanity has forgotten how to write anything with any depth anymore and it is all at the level of quality of teenage story writing.

Is it simply over for the writing genre as a whole or is it that the best quality writing is actually no longer being recognized as the best because it didn't sell enough copies nor got enough appreciation from writing critics, or is it that there is a complete disconnect between what the average person considers enjoyable writing and what is considered actually good high brow writing?

I think it is a shift in medium where all the people looking for depth and high quality in their literary works moved on to movies and video games instead and all who are still hanging around the writing genre are those who will pick a random niche and the general books based on lowest common denominator which is teenage angst or teenage wonderment slop.

What this means is that the writing genre is going to keep going further down in quality over time and we need to look at the possible extinction of reading one day if everything turns out to be possible to be done by video because people are clearly getting worse at appreciating literature while getting a whole lot better at their expectations and appreciation of better video entertainment content.

Conclusion:

In terms of ease of entry into the writing department this is the easiest time period. In terms of making money from it, likely one of the harder time periods. We can expect the quality of writing meant for general audiences to have reached the lowest floor and never rise above it again this generation. The Zoom zooms are too r-slurred when it comes to quality writing in just a book.

Also if you still read Harry Potter books, READ ANOTHER BOOK!

Yes hello I am treating myself to a low-effort post-trump post

I plan on leaving the country or offing myself when my birth certificate gets changed back

Very masculine response

I currently live in a blue state with a republican nut-job governor. He will likely take Trump's side with every executive order he signs that can be enforced by the state, so my birth certificate and gender markers are likely to be changed back to 'F'.

ahhhh shit neighbor they gon change a single letter on a meaningless piece of paper, better crash out

What happens then? When other countries realize the US's attack on freedom of expression, will they let us in? I'm considering my emergency fleeing options right now.

oh yeah you're going to 'flee' the US are you bud?

The immigrants process is lengthy and expensive no matter where you go. There will be barriers that exist bc you are trans. For example, Korea is a no go. Iran, Iraq, Afganistán, also no gos.

Thank you for pointing out that Afghanistan is a 'no-go' I had no idea

By god do not let that sick fascist twat outlive you. You will live longer than him. Don't you dare give up.

Why did Elon Musk just say Trump wants to bring two stranded astronauts home?

For reasons that were not immediately clear, SpaceX founder Elon Musk took to his social media site X on Tuesday evening to make a perplexing space-based pronouncement.

"The POTUS has asked SpaceX to bring home the 2 astronauts stranded on the Space_Station as soon as possible. We will do so," Musk wrote. "Terrible that the Biden administration left them there so long."

Now generally, at Ars Technica, it is not our policy to write stories strictly based on things Elon Musk says on X. However, this statement was so declarative, and so consternation-inducing for NASA, it bears a bit of explication.

lmao bullshit, Ars loves to sneed about everything Elon does; it's basically TMZ but only covering Elon.

Foremost, NASA has gone to great lengths to stress that the two astronauts referenced here—Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams—are not stranded on the International Space Station.

The astronauts are clearly stranded as has been covered extensively over the last year by even leftie organisations:

NPR also released an article insisting that the astronauts aren't stranded - https://www.npr.org/2025/01/28/nx-s1-5278636/iss-astronaut-rescue-spacex-trump:

Ars comments are of course mad:

Why wouldn't the US government want to bring two stranded astronauts home? Why is this the top comment? What are you mad about?

They were meant to be there for eight days. The eighteen month stay was planned.

And yet they're still stranded there, curious. Why don't they just fly back home? They must want to be there.

The bottom two comments - note the guy who's had an account for 17 years.

One of my favorite parts of Starfield is the array of amazing characters. I love spending time with them, especially the members of Constellation. They may be part of the same group but they have different interests and viewpoints which make you think about the nature of the universe. I thought I'd share some of my favorite Starfield characters with you. I don't expect @ToeBeans to read this because she hates me intensely, but writing about Starfield helps me feel better about the malice in the world. I don't know, it's just a calming game to think about which is nice when the real world treats you so harshly. I thought @ToeBeans was my friend but I was sorely mistaken. The pain and betrayal I feel are beyond words. I feel so down and depressed. But after this post it's time for Starfield!

Sarah Morgan

It should come as no surprise, but my favorite character is Sarah Morgan. She is the Chair of Constellation, which is a group of scientists and space explorers. She is a good leader who is brave and infinitely curious about the cosmos. Although she is an excellent researcher, she prefers to go out doing fieldwork and visiting different planets. Her life hasn't always been easy. She spent some time in Cydonia, a settlement on Mars, where she was stuck doing research for a while. She also served with the United Colonies military whereshe was exposed to traumatic events on the planet Casseopia I. In addition to being a good explorer, she is also skilled in botany and piloting spaceships. When faced with mysteries, she tends to turn to science for answers. She doesn't entertain religious ideas much.

Traits

• Smart

• Good leader

• Friendly

Barrett

Every game needs a bit of comic relief, and Barrett does the job well. Barrett is an engineer in Constellation. Like Sarah, he has explored the far reaches of the universe, and he has a love for uncovering the secrets of outer space. He is very fun-loving, friendly, and easy to talk to. He is charismatic, but he is also smart and a good cook. When he's on the crew, he'll always make funny comments as we travel. He often travels in his large ship called the Frontier.

He also has a robot friend named Vasco. Vasco is a robot assistant created by Lunar Robotics. He is very curious about humans.

Traits

• Funny

• Good with spaceship weapons

• Fun-loving

Other Great Constellation Members

1. Noel - She is a scientist at the Lodge, which is the headquarters of Constellation. Noel is very interested in learning more about the artifacts that Constellation has found.

2. Matteo - He is the most spiritual member of Constellation. He is part of the Va'Ruun religion, and he believes there is something spiritual behind the events they witness. I tend to side with Matteo's view of the universe, and I wish they gave his character a more prominent role.

Conclusion

Thank you to everyone who read my post, and a deep thank you to anyone who has ever been nice to me on this site. There is so much bullying and cruelty that it is like finding an oasis in the desert when you come across someone with a good heart. There are truly amicable people on this site, and they ensure that even a worthless incel like me feels welcome.

!nooticers 6 million

GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) - More than six million people could die from HIV and AIDS in the next four years if U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pulls its global funding for programmes, the United Nations AIDS agency said on Friday.

Although a waiver was placed on HIV/AIDS programmes in last month's U.S. foreign aid funding freeze, many concerns remained about the future of treatment programmes, the deputy executive director of UNAIDS told reporters in Geneva.

"There is a lot of confusion especially on the community level, how the waiver will be implemented. We're seeing a lot of disruption of delivery of treatment services", Christine Stegling said.

Trump put hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of foreign aid donations on hold for 90 days upon taking office on January 20. In the following days, the U.S. State Department issued a waiver on the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) - the world's leading HIV initiative - for life-saving humanitarian assistance.

While welcoming the waiver, Stegling stressed the situation remains chaotic.

Amid a broader decline of funding, Stegling warned there would be a 400% increase in AIDS deaths if PEPFAR financial support is not re-authorized between 2025 and 2029.

"That's 6.3 million people, 6.3 million AIDS-related deaths that will occur in future...Any penny, any cut, any pause, will matter for all of us" she said, urging U.N. member states to step in.

"In Ethiopia, we have 5,000 public health worker contracts that are funded by U.S. assistance. And all of these have been terminated," Stegling said.

She highlighted that community clinics were facing the biggest interruption as they are "entirely dependent" on U.S. government funding.

She expressed concern that some people may not come forward for treatment, which could in turn increase new HIV infections.

U.S. donations account for the majority of global funding for the U.N. programme that operates in 70 countries, leading global efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

Trump's administration says it is reviewing all foreign-aid programmes to see if they align with his "America First" policy.

The embargo for reviews of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has lifted. We don't have a review on the site here at Polygon. This is not an editorial decision; we had hoped to review the game. On Jan. 2, Polygon requested a code for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 from Warhorse Studios, the studio behind the game, and received no response. On Jan. 7, we reached out to the PR firm working with Warhorse, who told us they were "not able to provide access. We'll let you know if this changes." We reached out to parent company Plaion on Jan. 9 as well — no response. On Jan. 10, we saw our peers publishing early previews for the game. We re-upped our request and were again told we would not be given access.

This was very unusual. But this was the situation that transpired with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. It can be difficult to tell when a studio's decision to withhold a code from a publication is intentional and personal. That's due in part to the fact that the process for getting advance review codes is about as rote and administrative as it gets. Sometimes, PR firms working for studios send us codes unsolicited in hopes we'll cover the game in question. Other times, we request codes from the game's representatives ourselves, several weeks ahead of the release date, and we get those codes when and if they are available.

As part of our final request for code on Jan. 10, Polygon's editor-in-chief Chris Plante contacted Plaion and Warhorse's PR firm to get a comment as to why we were denied advance access to the game. He stressed in his message that our hope is that this decision wasn't due to any personal bias against Polygon, nor motivated by any of our previous coverage of games made by Warhorse or any other. In short, we wanted to know: Was Polygon being blacklisted?

On Jan. 10, we did receive a response to this request stating that we could get one code for the game on launch day, Feb. 4. We did not receive any clarification as to how this decision was made. Nor did we receive the requested clarification on why the developers of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 declined to provide Polygon access to the game.

Because we will not receive access to this game until its public release, our review is nonetheless forthcoming but will not be published in time for its release date. We look forward to telling you more about this game in the weeks to come.

KIA Gloats

And now, for the why. From Charlie Hall's review (12 February 2018)

https://archive.is/WqcZl

"The game is also not without its controversies. Warhorse is a team of more than 150 people, but the game's creative director has gone out of his way to rationalize his support of G*merGate, a loosely knit hate group that has devoted time to harassing women, people of color and journ*lists in the past. So outspoken is the studio's leadership on cultural issues that they have found it necessary to work with a German outlet to publish anti-fascist, anti-sexist and anti-racist statements prior to their game's launch."

Thank you for that completely unnecessary bank-shot that turned a poor review into a politically motivated hit piece. And you wonder why they weren't lining up for more of that?
