I can assure you of my intellectual capacity but there is a severe incompatibility with cognitive functions on this day.

Welcome to Las Vegas Belfast!

Black and Tans intensifies

Henry would've been proud!

I can see the angle you're coming from. I enjoyed Fall of Hyperion but not nearly as much as the first book. As for Dan Simmons himself, I've only vaguely heard about his political views. I compare it to Frank Miller's legacy in that they're both creatives who have a back catalog of celebrated works that is juxtaposed by their reactionary viewpoints.

It was the only one I read but I say it anyways: The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

If audiobooks are considered reading then I will include I, Robot, Foundation and Empire, amd Herbert West - Reanimator.

Any snapshot from Morrowind.

So, I did some very basic reverse image searching with Google Lens and, as others of pointed out, it seems to have originated from Facebook. More specifically, it originates from some kind of copypasta first posted on Sept. 15th of this year by user Hashem Al-Ghaili. This same copypasta later appears in two other places: in Turkish (twice) and again on someone's Linkedin post. Since many (myself included) suspected this to be AI generated, I ran this through AI image detector sightengine. Now, AI detection tools are very flawed so I took the results with a grain of salt. Nonetheless, It came back with a 99% chance of it being AI generated with Midjourney being the most likely candidate for its creation.

I find it strange how racist and ultra-nationalists ideas have taken root in Russia when its predecessor (USSR) defeated the Nazis and prided itself in its ethnic diversity. Compare that to the US where its long history of racism since the beginning has allowed the formation of racial and ethnic tensions.

Can someone explain the disparity between Australia's and New Zealand's use of antibiotics in meat?

I see Costco as simply a place to buy groceries but I got to give them credit for not giving into culture war bullshit.

I like your descriptive writing style!

I'm really enjoying this right wing implosion. This is one I'm going to tell my grandkids about.

"I swear, officer, that I didn't kill that judge. The fact that my search history indicates an interest in 3D printed guns, and I own the works of Karl Marx, AND I was wearing a free "Free Luigi" shirt doesn't prove anything."

Just 6? Surely Argentina's already broken economy can not survive with so little tax revenue sources? I'm no economist but the only way I can see this even remotely working is if the rates of those 6 taxes are raised expectionally high.

Burzum: I'm a joke to you?

"It's not like drug addicts will stop taking drugs if I quit heroin."

Keep up the good work. Much respect to unsung heros such yourself.

I've been playing Outer Worlds lately. It's made by Obsidian so it's gameplay is similar to F:NV.

My thief archer build in Morrowind and Skyrim lead me to a life of thievery and now I'm serving a life sentence at maxium security prison. Very sound logic.
