  1. "'Liberal' Bias starts in high school economics textbooks" - Breitbart in 2012 

    What? Even for them this claim is downright moronic, considering their definition of "liberal".  They literally have it  COMPLETELY BACKWARDS. Economics textbooks that I've seen have the biggest bias towards right-wing economics I've ever seen. Heck, it's even more obvious there than on Bloomberg, and they literally show stocks on ad breaks. Literally 1 page dedicated to not capitalism, and the other 500 are ALL about it. I knew Breitbart was full of s***, but I never knew that they were even worse about it than PragerU is, even considering their video that basically makes them out to be Nazi apologists.

    Found it looking up if anybody else noticed how insanely far right the blatant bias of economics textbooks is. Almost makes me want to see how many other blatantly fallacious statements they've made for the sake of their fringe right platform.

  2. "Shocked Pikachu?" More like "Shocked Worker Sprite..."

    What have I just done...? :wau:

  4. *Looks at KYM to update on memes*

    Sheesh, I might as well stop checking up on it. There's apparently been maybe 1 meme worth mentioning in the past 2 months.

      I used to frequent KYM all the time back in the "old days" xD. Was really fun/ informative around 2009-2010 (aka right around the time 4chan effectively "died").

      I miss the fun old internet so much. Nowadays all it's about it toxicity, stroking egos, and trying to offend people. It used to be about chillaxing with randoms (read: Anons) and being creative making entertainment for ourselves. There was such a beautiful sense of community too. =^-^=

      I do it now just to update myself on the latest internet trends.

      I slightly disagree with your evaluation of the community of it. It's really more like stroking egos and finding every reason to get offended and start s*** over literally nothing (in a BAD attempt to be edgy) is what it is. I agree that it's a total shame that the internet from pre-2012 isn't still around.

      "It's really more like stroking egos and finding every reason to get offended and start s*** over literally nothing (in a BAD attempt to be edgy) is what it is."

      ^Definitely cannot argue with that assessment xD

  5. *Sees a Sargon Worshiper*

    *They're a Ban Evader*

    XD

  6. *Starts a debate in their own blog post* *Locks post because someone disagrees with them*

    That totally makes sense, and doesn't sound like somebody's little feelings got hurt.

     

  7. *tries to watch YouTube videos*

     

    I really miss Net Neutrality...

  8. *Watches Fallout 76 Trailer*

    I don't think I've ever been so disappointed.

  9. *Watching the Paladins 1.9 Showcase*

     

    NO SANTA BARIK? There'd better be one NEXT patch then, or ELSE.

  10. Apparently Hollow-Earthers are a thing (and apparently have been for years...)

    How stupid can people be...? We have people that believe the Earth is flat (despite common sense and fundamental physics proving otherwise) and... This? I'm literally astounded.

      D&D had a hollow world campaign. Can the Earth be hollow and flat? I guess it can, like a hollow cylinder. I'm gonna start believing that now.

      Link goes to The Sun, which is a good demonstration of how low the "lowest common denominator" can be. Known for poor reporting and naked girls on page 3 :)

      @CypherHoof Never even realized that. That makes it look even worse on them XD

  11. 2018 may be looking not that bad after all.

  12. A follow-up to yesterday's status update about Paladins patch 1.5:

     

    Just looked at the patch notes, and I'M VERY UNHAPPY.

     

    The obvious problem is that they made ZERO balance changes.... After a patch like 1.4 that introduces radical changes to the game like the Ripened Gourd rework that makes it refund the cooldown 50% OF THE F***ING TIME and BUFFS what is considered by almost everyone to be the strongest champion in the entire game... What are they trying to f***ing do? Kill their own game? I'm beginning to question that again. I mean since OB67 they've been doing a fantastic job... Until this. They literally did NOTHING (well, aside from the fix to Grohk's ult and the Moji hitbox changes, but those don't necessarily count, since neither will impact the competitive scene in any way)...

    After that, I find GR0B0T's s****yness even LESS excusable. The skin's voicelines are just atrociously unfunny and lack a large amount of character. They could have done so much with this skin. Heck, I was in love with it when I heard about it. Now I just think it's one of the worst Epic skins ever. I also swear the skin looked FAR more comical than looking like it was designed by a moron when it was leaked, but apparently I must have been wrong because it looks to me like the artist who designed the grotesquely stupid thing should just get fired.

    Also, the new MM change is just as dreadful as I stated in my original status update on this topic. I'm just going to say that everyone around would MUCH rather have declined matches than bots in every single game that have NO COMPETENCE WHATSOEVER. It was already a problem that EVERYONE was complaining about, but they literally never even addressed, and made worse. Now I'm really angry at Martini for LYING to everyone in such a sick, demented way as that. 

    Last and most important of all... WHERE IS THE SKYE REWORK THEY PROMISED MONTHS AGO AND THEY EVEN FREAKING TEASED IN THE KOGA CINEMATIC? They promised a visual update in the Dev Insight and we didn't even get THAT. And they had more than enough room to do that with such a barren patch and more than enough time considering that they had 3 weeks to work on this patch instead of the normal 2...

     

    Sorry for the world's longest status update, but I had to rant about Hi-Rez taking several steps back all of a sudden. It is quite infuriating for somebody who actually cares about the game's future. I really want to get back into this game when I get the ability to, but this is making me start to wonder if it will be as bad as it was in OB64 (if not WORSE) by then, and I say this after the game was on such a roll for a while. It's a real shame.

  13. After watching Toy Story 3 for the 3rd time, I still definitely can't blame Jessie for liking Buzz's Spanish mode... 

    :P

  14. Am I the only one who thinks the GSC version of Route 26 sounds... Weirdly depressing?

     

  15. Apparently the CEO of Gearbox is being sued for supposedly possessing child pornography by a disgruntled ex-Gearbox employee that supposedly stole millions of dollars from the company, according to Randy Pitchford (the CEO of Gearbox).

    This could be bad, but I doubt it will be considering that the information that Randy Pitchford has child porn on a flash drive is second-hand and biased at that. Also, it's kind of hard to trust it when Wade Callender (the ex-employee) was sued FIRST, and also has a grudge against his ex-employer due to him being fired from the company. 

    I will say this. It is HIGHLY irresponsible to have porn on a flash drive used for work, but that in itself can't even be proved, let alone it even being underage. Also, don't trust Kotaku's coverage of anything, because Kotaku is a complete and utter joke.

  16. Apparently Z1Unknown (Paladins streamer I watch from time to time) is becoming the Paladins equivalent of Hashinshin (a LoL streamer that's known for spewing toxic nonsense and throwing temper tantrums over nothing)...

    He used to be a good content creator, now he's getting p***y over something that doesn't even really matter, and he's starting to get to be such a snowflake when it comes to balance... ESPECIALLY of flanks (PARTICULARLY Androxus, who also just happens to be his original main)

    It's really a shame that one of my favorite Paladins streamers is becoming downright unwatchable over not getting paid by Hi-Rez because he streams the game(even though they have no reason to pay him for it, and even then the skin codes they DO give him are worth plenty of money anyways), and a migraine-inducing rant about the meta that makes little sense.

  17. Battle for Wesnoth, at the very least in version 1.4.3, is a very unbalanced game. To the point where it's almost more about the faction you pick in a game and on RNG than actual skill. 

     

     

     

     

  18. Clickbait title for me when I play Monopoly:

     

    "CAN ANYONE IN EXISTENCE BEAT THIS ABSOLUTE UNIT AT THIS BOARD GAME?"

    6. The End in Friend (3.25/10)
    7. Fake It 'Til You Make It (2.5/10)

     

     

    It hasn't been a consistent season. Sure, there have been some good episodes that have shined through, like Rockhoof and a Hard Place, that I was tempted to rate a perfect score. But this season also has 3 episodes below 4/10, cementing all 3 among the worst in the series, "Fake It 'til You Make It" being the absolute worst. The fact that there are 7 bad episodes out of 21 (counted the 2-parter as a single episode here) is NOT GOOD. It is BAD. Season 1 had only 1, and it's still hardly in the top half of seasons IMO. Even with the season beginning to show signs of improvement, I have to say it is down there with Season 6 as the worst season that ISN'T Season 3. 

  20. Dusknoir has to be one of the most underrated Pokémon competitively. He may have low speed and health stats, but he has access to Trick Room and his defenses are fairly high. He doesn't have to run f***ing insipid tank sets and get overshadowed by his pre-evolution. He can run a bulky offensive set really well... He has access to plenty of good moves and his 100 base attack stat boosted with a couple of Power-Up Punches is nothing to scoff at. Not even to mention how good Ghost type is defensively. I know people say it's terrible, but HOW IS HAVING TWO IMMUNITIES IN A SINGLE TYPE BAD? Not to mention it only has two weaknesses and has two FURTHER resistances! Frankly it's only beaten by Steel defensively... 

     

    Honestly, if people ran Dusknoir with a degree of competence he should be at least RU if not NU. Not only just situatonal in f***ing PU.

  21. Finally got to have a look at Paladins 1.6 Patch Notes, and most of the changes are good.

     

    * Dredge is a pretty well designed champion, looks to require a lot of skill to master. I would like to play him from what I've seen. He does have issues, mostly with one talent, his ult, and his Q.

    *Talus will be viable on PC now? Now his primary fire falls off at shorter range, and with his ult it will now deal the full damage with the decreased knockback.

    *Lex now will have a much easier time dealing damage, as his recoil is going down. Not the right way to do it, but it's a buff nonetheless.

    *Furia changes will make her deal less damage and make her heal less spammy, which is good.

    *Small Ash Buff to her right click damage. Will not nearly be enough, but it's something I suppose.

    *Defiant Fist on Andro was pretty f***ing bad. But now after this it may be up there with Heads Will Roll in talent usage.

    *I don't like the 'Damba or Koga changes. I feel very sorry for console players with the Koga changes, and 'Damba is about to be as good as Khan on PC. 

     

  22. George HW Bush, mediocre Republican president who at least called out Reagan's economic nonsense, died yesterday. 

     

    Am I really the only one who could care less? Does this make me sound like a bad person? I don't think either should be the case.

      Have fun thinking I'm a bad person for having an opinion then. Of course it's going nowhere, and you should have figured that out a long time ago.

      Wow the density of that is hilarious. Your first reply to this was almost two freaking hours ago.

      Yeah, my first replie was 2 hours ago but I literally spent 30 seconds on it. I'm not starting working on my replies the second you post yours.

      But that wasn't the point. The point was that you wasted two hours of time arguing with me when it was pretty obvious it wouldn't go anywhere.
