I was wondering what "feminist propaganda" was and apparently it's talking about misogyny.

Another forbidden topic seemed to be targeted at criticism of misogyny at Game Science. The company has come under fire for lewd and sexist comments attributed in media reports to its founders as well as recruiting materials from 2015 replete with sexual innuendos. Those original job postings and comments were deleted, and the company has not commented. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/20/world/asia/chinese-videogame-wukong-censorship.html

But this anti feminism attitude is not limited to this 1 gaming company, but government policy under Xi Jinping's authoritarian rule: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-08/feminism-in-china-internet-crackdown-erase-womens-voices/100165360

It always takes them a bit of time to pivot talking points. I imagine that whenever a pivot is needed, there's a bunch of drunk higher up russians having meetings to come up with new ideas, then all those ideas get thrown out there to test them, they measure clicks and responses to figure out what works and once they find something that sticks well enough, the frontline trolls will receive the new talking points and playbooks.

We've all see some vile attacks against Walz and especially Harris recently. But unfortunately for Trump and his foreign supporters, drunk macho fascists coming up with ideas to attack the character of a non Caucasian woman, does not produce ideas that resonate well with the democratic left. So they were unable to find something new that had enough zing and they went back to their golden classics of pushing a 3rd party and the "both sides" argument, for now anyhow.

In 2022 there were some stories of how people on work visas were unable to jump ship while others were fleeing en masse. And now after all the tech layoffs in the USA, I imagine that finding another company to sponsor their visa, has become a lot harder still. So that's one group still working there: people who will be deported if they lose their job.

I only trust world maps that do not have this New Zealand on them.

To me it looks better without fog, but the fog doesn't look bad at all, I just like it slightly more without fog. Imo best would be if both states where in the game, if performance allows it. Sometimes (more) foggy, sometimes not, depending on time of day or in game events.

In the fog picture there is also some dark sky between trees (along the upper edge, about 40% from the left) that suddenly jumps out, I don't think that patch should be that dark if the player is standing inside a cloud.

Fox news gets the same credibility rating of "mixed" as the guardian, which should tell you all that you need to know about the credibility of the mbfc site.

Edit for context: fox news commitment to factuality, is so bad that they knowingly air news that they themselves know to be false: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/02/fox-news-dominion-lawsuit-trump/673132/ Rampant misinformation, sitting on news until they can release at a more opportune time, selective reporting, airing heavily edited footage to make their guy look less like an idiot, ... These are all things that fox news does, but I'm hard pressed to find any examples of the guardian doing any of these. And yet still somehow, the mbfc site wants us to believe that the guardian is as untrustworthy as fox news. Somehow I'm not buying it.

Completely. Calling NBC news center left is a real head scratcher, that bot is apparently living in an alternative facts reality.

Probably, I agree with your reasoning. I was just dumbfounded by the massacre and my first thought was that they had been collecting corpses in the trucks, but after a few trucks like that, that made no sense anymore. Then you provided the probable answer in the comments.

I only saw all the corpses inside those seemingly intact vehicles, didn't even notice the tires.

We (Netherlands, Flanders and some neighbouring regions which are also adapting the system) are using a "bicycle knot points" network where individual routes are not marked, just the points with which you can make your own route.

An example sign:

There are also separate (mountainbike) routes within nature that are not marked this way. Those just use the classic colored stripes and little signs for directions.

Kinda like the sharpy hurricane: he'd rather do something that makes him look stupid and petty, than admit to having been wrong about something. Combine a very fragile ego with stupidity and you end up with antics like this.
