  • Is there another case with over +200 plus killed?

    I’m all for hypotheticals, but the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion lead to millions of people having this exact conversation about media bias, so when you associate the death toll in this context, I am reminded of all those people who fell for blatant misinformation and critize good journalism.

    The OC’s comment reflects the context around the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion exactly. I would think it is naive to have not made the connection, but I also followed the war moderately close.


  • Why do you think I only know of singular hospital attacks? You made it up and judged me for it, because I corrected misinformation.

    And isn’t the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion the only alleged hospital attack with 200+ killed in a single strike? Any reasonable person would connect the above hypothetical with that important awful event.

    Misinformation must be corrected. That shouldn’t only apply to your enemies.




  • What should be done about low post count but swarm account spam? On twitter, I probably blocked 2000 accounts, and no matter what the next day there would be new bot accounts. It made replies unusable. These accounts would only have a few posts, but they make up for it in account volume.

    You can’t report these accounts fast enough, and the information space will be dominated by bad actors.

    I have no issue with bots as a concept if they are marked as on. What I take issue with is the overwhelming of the feed by bots with an agenda and inaction to stop it.

    I don’t think enough is done to combat this.





  • If I were in charge, retro would mean games from 5th generation and earlier.

    Modern game design hasn’t fundamentally evolved since the Xbox, PS2, and Dreamcast (Sixth gen) era. Pre 1998, 3D games were still figuring out how to take advantage of 3D, so they don’t quite reach the modern era, but almost all modern games can be traced back to sixth gen.

    Likewise, I would classify the early days of 2D the ancient era, which would be anything before the SNES and Sega Genesis (Fourth gen). The NES has classic games, but it wasn’t until the SNES that those games were perfected into their modern formulas.

    Microsoft, Sony, AMD, and NVIDIA are all betting big in AI so we might finally be entering a new distinct era soon. DLSS 4 is still blurry af, so we are for sure not there yet.
