Prompted from a recent pre-emptive ban from the tooafraidtoask sub, some other subs I can't remember and the banning of Dr Malones account along with countless others being banned for daring to speak out against this bullshit. The list goes on.
Do they honestly think that if we are no longer allowed to say things, that we will just forget that most of our conspiracy theory opinions are literally coming true each day and just agree with with them now?
I am an anti vax person who is double vaxed but refuse to get the booster because again, I'm anti vax, have been strongly against any mandate since day 1 and CURRENTLY have covid since Monday morning. Felt awful all day Monday and fine ever since. I didn't need a booster for that and I got the vax quite early on so I'm pretty sure it made no difference on the severity of it since I know boosted people who have still caught it bad.
Its just a small rant but can't decide if they think we'll jump to their side or think banning everything in sight will just make people who don't have critical thinking skills forget they're constantly lied to
[I don't know reddit's anti-spam technicalities, so all relevant links will be posted in a comment rather than up here.]
First off: It's not my place whether to say the movie is canon or not.
That's up to Naotaka Hayashi, Chiyomaru Shikura, and the rest of the Steins;Gate creators at 5pb, now called Mages, none of who produced, directed, nor wrote the movie by White Fox.
Second off: I don't think the OVA can be canon because it directly conflicts with Steins;Gate 0, which was confirmed by Shikura to be a true sequel, not a fandisc [LINK 1][LINK 2].
Steins;Gate: The Movie does not contradict any of the universe's established rules, and it can very well be canon if the original creators want it to be.
Let's start with the primary complaint:
1) Steins;Gate VN and anime clearly state that only 1 worldline is active or "real".
This is correct. As u/ZeeFighter described in this comment, the characters may not fully understand the mechanics themselves, BUT I do think the characters are 100% correct about this.
2) Okabe disappearing and violating entering the "R" worldline alone violates this.
I will address this from both a "hard magic" and "soft magic" perspective.
Hard Magic
The ""R" worldline" is not a worldline at all.
Rather, Okabe is basically phasing in and out of "reality". He is not time traveling. He is not jumping world lines.
In my uneducated bro-physics speak, his quanta are vibrating through higher dimensions into unobservable spaces where he is alone.
Suzuha explains that reality is presenting itself to Okabe as a quantum field [LINK 3], which is how infants perceive the world [LINK 4] (This theory about infants is REAL!! [LINK 5][LINK 6]).
However, Suzuha is mistaken about "R" being an actual worldline. It's an understandable mistake given that this is Steins;Gate, named out of Okabe's love for Einstein, who died before quantum mechanics could be complete enough for him to adequately explain and integrate uncertainty.
So to speak, the characters had mastered the mechanics of the Standard Model but did not yet understand the quantum mechanics and uncertainty of time travel.
This accesible-for-laypeople (like myself) article about quantum fields [LINK 7] explains that in quantum physics, particles do no
... keep reading on reddit ➡By tech companies in this sense I am referring to the search, social and digital media arms of a diverse array of companies but Google/YouTube, Reddit, Twitter are the main examples.
I've noticed that if I search a topic or even a direct specific dissenting opinion to the media narrative on Google, reddit, YouTube, Twitter, often to research stuff on this sub, I get results that are op eds that overwhelmingly the media viewpoint and reasons why the dissenting opinion is wrong (outside of some reactionary right wing media).
This despite the fact that many Americans across the political spectrum have dissenting opinions to media narratives
I've also noticed that many streaming services' original series all seem to be more and more pushy of these narratives.
From what I remember this seemed to get worse a bit into the Trump administration and its gotten a lot worse within the past two years. I'm guessing the election then Jan 6th overreaction might be a bit of a catalyst.
Various topics include:
Rehab or drug addiction (almost all results are from companies that own treatment centers)
Trans biology or psychology
Warren / Clinton / Harris
US China,Russia, Venezuela relations
MeToo
Biden's imperialist aspirations
Etc.
1.) Am I just now noting this because my values are no longer aligned with the media or is there now a greater degree of tech company censorship?
2.) What the largest factors contributing to this if it is indeed changing?
Basically, I'm looking for opinions on games which you think actually play brilliantly well at player counts that are not (or only lightly) recommended in the user vote on BGG. Maybe there's a multiplayer game which you go against the grain and think works brilliantly well with only 2 players? Or a game recommended for 3-4 players which you think actually is great with 5 or 6? Stuff like that. (Your reasons for thinking this would also be appreciated!)
Aaron Rodgers Slams Biden For Calling COVID ‘Pandemic of the Unvaccinated’ and ‘Censoring Dissenting Opinions’

This case was ruled on the 10/12/2021 (in-sim: 26/06/2049). It concerned the legitimacy of the 2048 United States Presidential Election, in particular the means by which many ballots were examined and/or nullified by members of staff. E_royl claimed that staff members mismanaged and fraudulently handled votes by disqualifying several ballots that had been cast for Socialist Party nominee, Canuk. Staff argued that they had acted appropriately in disqualifying improper ballots. In the end, the court ruled in favor of staff, with some objections.
This is a constructive critical review of the Hartford show from Sunday night. Please don't read if you may get hurt by reading something critical of this band.
I'll preface this post by saying I've seen Dead and Co 5 times so far, since 2017. I've seen every reincarnation of the band since Jerry died, and have been listening to the Grateful Dead almost exclusively since 1992 (to the dismay of my family). I've seen Jerry perform with them around 10 times. I'm also a non-professional musician, who has been trying to perfect Jerry's guitar style for around the same amount of time. So for whatever it's worth, these are my "creds" before I write this.
I was at the show Sunday night in Hartford, and have to say I was pretty damn disappointed, mainly with JM's performance. I don't know what was going on with him that night, but he just seemed totally off. There were very few memorable JM moments from the night, and so many missed opportunities. Did anyone else hear that? The reviews seems to be so glowing across the board, not sure if people didn't hear what I heard, or maybe the critics are just staying silent.
I'm not trying to trash the band in any way. In fact, when I saw them play for the first time in 2017 I was absolutely blown away by them, and thought for sure they were the best arrangement since Jerry. This was due in large part to JM and his mastery of Jerry's style, while still putting his own twist on things. I was in love. I then felt every year since my first, the quality has been slightly declining, and Hartford was maybe the worst so far.
Every time I was expecting JM to rip out a solo, he seemed to hang in the back, and let Jeff take a solo, or just leave open space. This happened several times. I will have to go back and listen to the show again to remember specifics, but one that stood out the most was Watchtower. Bobby incredibly belted out the line "And the wind, began to howl!!" and I was thinking OK, here we go, JM is going to rip out something crazy now...but nothing came. (You can hear what I'm talking about here - at around 6:40 https://archive.org/details/deadco2021-09-05.mg210/deadco2021.09.05.mg210.set02t08.flac )
The times JM did solo throughout the show, it sounded like he was just going through the motions and was very predictable, which is the opposite of how he played the first time I heard them.
Another example was I Know You Ride
... keep reading on reddit ➡I was not disrespectful and he banned me based on a personal problem, and I have proof
white male gets woman banned for defending women overall, because reddit
the mod just goes around banning people who speak against him, personally. he is the OP
> be Me, defending women's POV after stumble on a psychotic manifesto that basically amounts to a copy pasta by some butthurt OP of RooshV 's ideology (a popular men's rights activist who openly talks about women's inferiority), waxing poetic about how women are genetically inferior to men.
> get banned, for speaking in favor of women and telling OP that it's been done to trash talk women online already and that he's biased against women, and to do better. I never cursed or got out of control but I was still banned, for hurting a white man's feelings.
>be Me again, who continues looking at the situation and realizes that OP with the sexist manifesto, is the mod who banned me from the sub. So he bans people who disagree with his rants , that's corrupt as shit.
I'm looking for a South African subreddit that doesn't have snowflake mods who ban you for disagreeing with them. Obviously this one isn't it - anyone know where one can actually go for that?
It would also be great if that sub's mods weren't such tjops that they'd pretend to be opposed to censorship while labelling dissenters from their narrative as trolls.
One thing that I have started doing recently is exposing myself to crypto opinions that differ greatly from my own. I think this is an amazing thing to do in order to understand your investments better.
Whenever I’m at work, I usually have one earbud in, listening to a YouTube video or podcast or something. Recently, I have actively looked for videos with titles like “Why Crypto will never succeed”, “Why Ethereum Sucks” and “3 Reasons Cardano will fail”.
This has been an excellent choice because it exposed me to some problems with the coins I’m invested in which I didn’t know about, and also better prepared me to argue about crypto with naysayers.
Anyways, I hope some of you will do this to gain a better understanding for yourselves.
