Coincidentally I just finished the Behind the Bastards update episode on the Bankman-Fried case from back in 2023. Apparently her diary was leaked by Sam to the press in an attempt to discredit her testimony which backfired on him lmao.

Good to see her also receive consequences.

Jaderick ,

I played it in alpha (?) when it first came out and it was alright. I played it for like 3 hours, but never felt a desire to revisit it.

Jaderick ,

Power projection and spite.

Iran cares to fuck with the US, Isreal, and other western powers, likely a ripple effect of this, and Isreal has demonstrated Iran cannot control its own airspace.

Palestinians have been seeking outside support since the 1948 UN resolution to create the 2 nations / the nakba, even going so far as getting support from the right wing Israeli government .

It’s a business deal not a moral one.

Israel’s actions have also put them, and the US, in a (demonstrably) bad light on the world stage, so any support to Palestinians is a PR win for Iran and everyone who’s competing with the US for influence so Russia and China love it too.

Jaderick ,

Let’s get an arena with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Likud party members all together to fight it out to the death so the rest of us can find some real solutions. Anyone who disagrees with peace gets put into the fighting pit.

IIRC before these changes take affect, Mexico’s President appoints (at least supreme) court judges who have tenure for 15 years. The ruling party is arguing for these changes to combat corruption. Rumor is that the Mexican legal system is corrupt af, and I haven’t seen any alternatives proposed by the opposition in (English) coverage of the protests, but we’ll see how electing judges goes I guess.

Jaderick ,

I agree with Blue.

The incidents on the border mission that led to troops dying have varied. Some of the soldier deaths reported include one who died from a medical emergency at a hotel where troops were staying in McAllen, and another who was accidentally shot in Fort Clark Springs. Two other soldiers died in a traffic accident in Laredo — one in the accident and the other by suicide in the minutes after the crash. At least four additional soldiers have died by suicide while assigned to the border.

This article is a ride and it makes this national guard deployment look even worse.

Jaderick ,

Yeah, this is a manifestation of those horny thoughts that go too far unfortunately. I’m unsure how you would even tackle this problem

Jaderick ,

The use of “feminist propaganda” over “misogyny” seems very deliberate.

Dutch beach volleyball player convicted of rape is booed again, louder, in second match of Olympics (apnews.com)

Dutch beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde, who served time in prison after he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl, won his second match at the Paris Olympics and received an even harsher reaction from the crowd on Wednesday than for his first match.

Jaderick ,

I don’t think that guy’s really complaining about the booing, I think he’s trying to separate the rapist from the other competitors.

I don’t know the case, and I’m very surprised the Netherlands let this guy compete for them, but he is and apparently served prison time (not as much as he probably should’ve). If he’s already served a prison sentence, then the Netherlands government probably believes he has been punished for the crime and is “rehabilited”. If he’s served time, double jeopardy applies to any punishment he would receive after the fact (IIRC).

I don’t know the rapist and I don’t care about him, I’d hope he’s incredibly remorseful and I’m not defending what he did, but like the OP was driving at; why are the actions of the rapist POS who served prison time tainting the other athletes competing for their own interests / country that legally posits the guy has been punished for his actions? Imagine being proud of your work and being booed because of the previous unrelated actions of a coworker you may or may not like.

If murderers are able to serve their prison sentence and be freed after their crime and feel remorse for their actions etc., at what point in time does someone stop being punished for their previous actions? I’m bringing up the rhetorical question in response to the common vitriol in comments surrounding sex crimes that bleeds onto anyone involved.

Unless you believe in the death penalty and that the rapist deserved to die for his actions by the hands of his government, what does it take for everyone to move forward? I ask because you’re positing the other Netherland’s athlete is essentially guilty because he didn’t risk his Olympic ambitions and refuse to play with the rapist who legally served his sentence.

How long he should’ve been in prison is another debate.

Jaderick ,

www.law.cornell.edu/wex/double_jeopardy#:~:text=T….

From the US, but the philosophical reasoning still applies.

You misunderstand the point. The Netherlands did not stop him from competing for them, presumably because he’s served his time for the crime by their standards.

That’s your problem with the Netherland’s Olympic committee then, not the other athletes - the whole point of the post.

Jaderick ,

The point is he was punished and likely contributed to him not being barred from Olympic participation. Ignore the double jeopardy statement then, engage with the actual discussion about the non rapist.

You clearly cannot read lmao

Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

Hello World, As many of you have probably noticed, there is a growing problem on the internet when it comes to undisclosed bias in both amateur and professional reporting. While not every outlet can be like the C-SPAN, or Reuters, we also believe that it’s impossible to remove the human element from the news, especially when...

Jaderick ,

I love this, but I would like to state that Media Bias Fact Check seems to have a pro-Israel bias.

mediabiasfactcheck.com/mondoweiss/

  • Overall, we rate Mondoweiss as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates.

I feel like “blending of opinion with news” and “occasional reliance on poor sources” is all that really need be said.

Jaderick ,

It’s about the bias rating. Using explicitly biased sources when rating a source makes for a bad rating.

Jaderick ,

I independently checked Mondoweiss using Media Bias a few months ago because it was posted elsewhere and I had not heard of it before, but was disturbed to see the extra reasoning behind the rating.

It’s for sure questionable at best, the Wikipedia discussion someone else posted was enlightening on that, but “designation as a hate-group by pro-Israel” sources doesn’t really mean much when sources like the ADL equivocate anti-Zionism and anti-Semitic rhetoric in bad faith.

washingtonpost.com/…/wikipedia-adl-jew-zionism-is…

Again, I love the bot, but wanted to state something to be conscious of

Jaderick ,

It’s been the Koch brothers and the John Birch Society’s dream (amongst others) to propagandize so many people of the “American Dream” and evils of anything other than capitalism. They were ecstatic when the Tea Party movement worked out for them, but they lost control of it with Trump. It’s a monster of their own making.

Jaderick ,

I refuse to believe economists have the best of intentions in mind when they write in absolutes lol. Too many refuse to factor human costs and irrationality into their calculations, Friedman being one of main examples.

I’m sure there are economists that do, but the few I’ve spoken to talk about people abstractly and as expendables.

I’d volunteer for this. Fuck those French knights

Jaderick ,

If inciting an attack on the capital and destabilizing the worlds oldest democracy doesn’t immediately discount Trump from your voting decisions then you’re braindead lol. Imagine trying to argue past that, despite 9 years of existing with Trump as a political figure.

Jaderick ,

Lmao. Cite them sources or me saying Trump blows maggoty cum all over Melania is literally as true as that statement.

Jaderick ,

You right lmaooo. That’s funny, I guess I should say oldest democracy with real world power.

Jaderick ,

From my understanding, the Ultra-Orthodox are the lynchpin in Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition so they nominally support the events thus far.

Jaderick ,

True they are not a monolith, however it seems that the Likud party’s coalition is being supported by Shad and the United Torah Judaism, both Haredi parties. Because the coalition is only up 4 seats I stated they’re the smaller parties lynchpin in Netanyahu’s government.

Jaderick ,

Imagine wanting something to change and then voting for a right-wing explicitly stated Conservative Party.

Researchers find higher levels of dangerous chemical than expected in southeast Louisiana (apnews.com)

Researchers using high-tech air monitoring equipment rolled through an industrialized stretch of southeast Louisiana in mobile labs and found levels of a carcinogen in concentrations as much as 10 times higher than previously estimated, according to a paper published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Science & Technology....

@games Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?

There have been rumors/controversies about the next Warhammer 3 DLC, while I don't personally believe them, it's true that we're reaching the lifecycle end of this franchise, I'm thinking of a contingency plan, I've played this series since 2017, and to replace with something else is going to take a while.

Still, here are some of my ideas, and I would like to hear others from the community

Cover of the turn-based game Disciples 2
Cover of the game turn-based Solium Infernium
Cover of the 4X Age of Wonders 4

Jaderick ,

Age of Wonders 4 has been entertaining me alongside TWW3 recently. It’s a 4X turn based strategy game with dark fantasy elements from Triumph Studios and published by Paradox.

It has some pretty good customization elements and I’ve been enjoying playing the different types of empire combos. There’s also an Lovecraftian eldritch horror DLC coming out this month.

Jaderick , (edited )

I honestly had not heard of those games so you introduced those to me lol. They look interesting and I’ll probably pick them up when they go on sale

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree - PREVIEW THREAD

Previews for the Elden Ring DLC have just been released! Lots of journalists and popular Souls players have been to an event where they played the DLC for a few hours, giving us way more info on what to expect and things such as new weapon types and upgrade materials. This isn’t a comprehensive list, just the few that I found...

Jaderick ,

Dude has such confidence in an errant opinion lmao

Jaderick ,

I have found the article here: financebuzz.com/fast-food-prices-vs-inflation

At work so I can’t read it atm, but I’m interested to hear your conclusion later

Jaderick ,

Do we know the infection transmission method of this virus? Presumably if they knew they wouldn’t have to cull the whole facility right?

Jaderick ,

Opened up immediately with some vagina fisting lmao

Jaderick ,

Been going through Behind the Bastards and I enjoy it a lot. I started from the beginning which was excellent for understanding some of the memes and ongoing jokes.

I skip the “It Could Happen Here” episodes personally because they are very long and tend to bring me down, but they’re also really good and they really highlight the vulnerabilities of contemporary systems of government.

Jaderick ,

I want to like Cool People who did Cool stuff, but the way information is presented by Margaret almost reads (listens?) like fiction storytelling. I appreciate the source quotes and media critiques of BtB which the few episodes of CPWDCS I’ve listened to didn’t really have.

Jaderick ,

Another reminder that many democrats are still conservative garbage.

As solar capacity grows, some of America's most productive farmland is at risk (www.reuters.com)

Dave Duttlinger’s first thought when he saw a dense band of yellowish-brown dust smearing the sky above his Indiana farm was: I warned them this would happen. About 445 acres of his fields near Wheatfield, Indiana, are covered in solar panels and related machinery – land that in April 2019 Duttlinger leased to Dunns Bridge...

Jaderick ,

So this article mentions this Indiana dude as an anecdote and then talks about Reuters discussing this with experts who then tell them whatever data they do have (which they don’t share in the article?) is too small to make any conclusions from.

This article seems bad. What’s the mechanism of erosion that solar farms threaten? Construction seemed to be their only explanation, but that’s not exclusive to solar farm. This almost reads like environmentalism fearmongering

Jaderick ,

From your description it sounds like land lording isn’t working for you. Why not sell?

Jaderick ,

Who is researching this topic without losing sleep, and who reports on this crap in such a blasé manner lol.

Jaderick ,

I had a feeling it was mostly bad reporting. I appreciate you confirming it.

Jaderick ,

You need to be forced?

“Overall, we rate Mondoweiss as Left Biased and Questionable due to the blending of opinion with news, the promotion of pro-Palestinian and anti-zionist propaganda, occasional reliance on poor sources, and hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates. (D. Van Zandt 3/4/2017) Updated (12/07/2023)“

Gonna be honest here, kinda disappointed in mediabiasfactcheck for using the “hate group designation by third-party pro-Israel advocates“ as a measure of credibility while also stating they don’t fact check this source. Brings down my view of them which sucks cause I liked them.

I appreciate Darkthoughts for linking the credibility measure for discussion though. More posts need that.

Jaderick ,

I’m replying to your edit: the link you gave concluded with “questionable” which explicitly stated part of that determination was from pro-Israel advocacy groups while also stating they did not fact check this source.

For a site based on combating bias that’s pretty ironic.

Again I appreciate the credibility check, but this particular instance demonstrated to me that MBFC isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Jaderick ,

Eggcellent for egging Nazis on the streets

It’s a bad answer to the existential question of death
