Catch a glimpse of an Arcadion legend's true identity in the eighth and final Tales under the Golden Sun: The Rise of a Tyrant. 🔥 sqex.to/QBoTj (⚠️ Be mindful of spoilers!)
Tales under the Golden Sun. The Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail logo is placed beneath. On the top, a screenshot of an Eldite with light hair and silver armor is conversing with a Hyune with grey hair standing in a field. On the bottom, a screenshot of the Eldite is kneeling in front of a gravestone wearing a white vest with an open chest with silver embellishes.

Stop calling bigots closeted, they're just bigots, and when you claim otherwise, you shift the blame of homophobia and transphobia to queer people and equate being closeted with cruelty.

Banning "superintelligent" 🤢 AI plays right into industry rhetoric and keeps the focus off immediate, real world harms such as privacy, bias, and labor. Literally the same name of the silly Bostrom book everyone was reading 12 years ago.

THIS
Long before the first grant was frozen, graduate students were noticing a quieter set of contradictions. They were told that teaching matters while watching excellent teachers struggle for recognition. They were encouraged to engage with the public while learning that public scholarship rarely counts toward career advancement. They were told that mentorship is central to academic culture while watching faculty who pour themselves into students get passed over for colleagues with longer publication lists. They entered science hoping to improve society and discovered that the system rewards productivity more reliably than it rewards care.

Honestly, I don't think this is the mainstream discovering. I think this is: the direction of the genocidal momentum has been established firmly enough that the media who established it can now afford to run pieces for false balance in order to make their hands appear clean of our blood.

I'd argue that, for the metrics, it's vastly MORE important that viewers turn this off. There's more viewers than streamers, so even if every streamer turned this off, if viewers don't, the executives can still claim that "most users don't care" and cram it down our throats even harder. Opt out.

I remember when someone tried to argue with me about this on here, saying it was survivorship bias, and not my own comparisons of the same brands' material quality and stitching over the past 30+ years. Anyway, yes shit is actually more poorly made now than it used to be even a short while ago.
