biofaust,

This is what I love about Mike Judge’s work. It turns out to be always the best metaphor/reference/prophecy of the boring dystopia. Since 1999.

biofaust,

He used Not Sure as a smokescreen since the beginning, the whole point is that he never really understood what was going on. I am quite sure that American presidents are approaching that level of idiocy.

biofaust,

Actually, as a strong supporter of the European Union, when people ask me what United in Diversity even means, scenes from Star Wars are my go-to explanation. No one like him showed the possibility of a, I would argue, racially diverse population surviving and becoming an effective force against a power expressed through uniformity.

biofaust,

Ok, I will eat babies and drink Pepsi. No wait, there is no ‘i’: I will eat babes and drink Pepsi.

Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established (apnews.com)

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

biofaust,

Israel controls the maritime space in front of and air space over Gaza, the anagraphical and fiscal systems and the access of goods and people.

Helldivers 2’s Politics Appear To Be Flying Over The Heads Of Some (www.forbes.com)

There is currently a very funny, kind of sad dust-up over Helldivers 2, in which self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers have previously heralded it as a rare game where they believe “politics” does not play a factor. Their faith was been shaken by an Arrowhead community manager they believed they found to be (gasp)...

biofaust,

As an Italian, thank you! This is the worst of the worst our country has to offer to the world and having a glorifying biopic about it is degrading to all of us.

biofaust,

Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.

2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.

biofaust,

I recommend this game to anyone who has only played AAA games as a gateway drug to indie games.

biofaust,

Without the need to resort to blatant racist theories, my bet is still on tax arrangements.

biofaust,

What’s surprising is that the US does nothing about it

biofaust,

You guessed it, I am not American.

Nor I have time to spend following the domestic politics of a country that was decadent when it was founded by terrorists (according to its own Constitution).

I am surprised still because this is 2023 and you are behaving literally medieval de facto instituting a new kind of feudalism gibing power to these people.

biofaust,

I don’t really see a difference in Twitter pre- and post-Musk. It is literally built for this, for broadcasting with minimal discussion afterwards. I left Twitter a bit before Musk got it because I realized Reddit was better for discussing and obtaining informed opinions. And now I left Reddit.

biofaust,

I think this could have been the normal evolution of the social network under anyone else than Musk. I repeat, it has always been built this way, for broadcasting. And I am sorry to fire on the Red Cross, but Mastodon is just the same: the only reason it is somewhat better than what Twitter was is that it is novel and barely populated and therefore elicits what in Italy we call mountain path courtesy.

biofaust,

I’ll let you onto a little secret about Europeans: we don’t don’t give half a shit about the US and their “politics”.

You may well argue that we have your bases in our territory, NATO and your social networks influencing our lives, but I see that as our internal problem of still having to grow a proper pair, rather than an interesting consequence of whatever medieval situation you’re brewing in there.

And you wish you were in a cyberpunk dystopia. You’re in a boring one.

biofaust,

My “politics” is because I don’t think that any politically relevant (especially for the rest of the world) decision in the US is taken in or by the appointed institutions. And recent events, including the news we are commenting on here, are confirmation of this.

biofaust,

And a huge disruption of astronomical research.

biofaust,

In Italy I was a member of UAAR (The Union of Rationalist Atheists and Agnostics) and we supported the legal costs of people battling against crucifixes in the workplace, compulsory prayers and even acoustic pollution caused by the church bells. This was in the late '90s to early '00s.

biofaust,

Is that a trick question? Because my answer is a resounding yes.

biofaust,

News, and I would argue journalism in general, is not what the term knowledge is referring to in that sentence.
