YOU DIED
@icedquinn I guess, but it's still the media's fault for taking the bait. He was a nobody before they decided to make him the feminist anti-Christ. He fought in some kickboxing competition here, but who the fuck cares about a no-name league, of a low viewership sport, in an irrelevant country? You think that I knew his name before? Hell no. The media attacking him made him a common name. Gave him much more fame. An overcharged Straisand effect as far as I can tell.

>that being said i don't waste brain cycles on the man
I honestly think nobody would have given two shits about Tate if the deranged side of the media didn't suddenly try to villainize him out of nowhere. They just gave him more and more attention, and contrarians were more than happy to make a saint out of Tate just to annoy the media.
@icedquinn That's why I'm not sure if they'd be considered guilty under US law. From the bits and pieces I've seen so far, I'm pretty sure what they did was the "lover boy" method. The women were technically free, they were doing things under their own volition, they had informed consent, etc. They were just stupid and maybe in love with the brothers to some degree.
Now excuse me while I vomit at the thought of someone being in love with Andrew Tate.
@icedquinn
I'm still not sure if they are guilty or not. Most likely they might be guilty of the "lover boy technique" as we call it, but I don't think that's illegal in US. (the lover boy is when a guy woos a woman, and promises her everything she could ever want, if only she does certain things for the scammer. In Tate's case, it would be doing video chat and porn).

Were you under any other delusions until now? Why do you think some of us would have preferred we stopped giving assistance after the first few months. It would have cost fewer lives on both sides if NATO countries didn't fan the flames for three fucking years.
@icedquinn
Trying? Press here reported that they both left already.

Did they give this interview from the past or something? Does someone at Gamefreak own a time machine?
P.S. Today marks 29 years since Pokemon released. How long do they think they can keep a franchise going?
@Suiseiseki @j
It's not just a matter of entropy. The entire issue is that so far all the laws of physics are time agnostic. So we expect that if we know the position, direction, and speed of a particle, we can use this to essentially reverse it's arrow of time and figure out where it's been. And in theory, if we have this information about each and every particle in the universe, we can reverse time and calculate back every single past event in the history of the universe.
But black holes presumably break that, and it's precisely because of Hawking radiation that it goes completely to shit.
I don't know if you're familiar to exactly what Hawking radiation is exactly, but it has to do with something called virtual particles. Virtual particles are matter-antimatter pairs of particles that appear out of nowhere, from the vacuum energy of space, and immediately annihilate each other. We know that they exist because of the Casimir effect, but we call them virtual particles because they annihilate each other so fast, you'll basically never detect them directly.
But when they pop into existence at the event horizon of a black hole, you'll have the situation where the matter particle escapes (this is the Hawking radiation) and antimatter particle falls into the black hole, where it will annihilate with a different matter particle inside the black hole. Which causes the problem, because at this point it presumably destroys the information of that particle, so there is no more way to extract its direction and speed, and compute its past. And the Hawking radiation that escapes has no way, that we're aware so far, to carry with it information about the particle that got annihilated inside the black hole.
This is all my basic understanding of the subject matter, as someone without a specialty in the field. If you're interested, I highly recommend you search at least for a mini-documentary or video on the matter from people who know better. There are details I don't fully grasp either, or know, such as why is it expected that the anti-matter virtual particles are more likely to fall into the black hole, than its matter pair. But this seems to be the status quo accepted by scientists since they expect this process to completely evaporate black holes over incredibly long periods of time.
@j The black hole information paradox is the issue stemmed from the axiom that information cannot be destroyed, but once matter hits a black hole's singularity, the information it carried cannot be retried, and thus it is considered destroyed. IIRC it conflicts with one of the laws of thermodynamics.
@j You mean the black hole information paradox? As far as I know, there's no widely accepted solution.

>It's time to stop pretending jews are just a religious group
I don't know where people got this impression that there's a narrative that Jews are just a religious group.
I've seen Jews openly acknowledge that there are 3 meanings to the word "Jew"
1) religious, obviously
2) race/ethnicity, duh
3) nationality (this one I can understand that is less obvious).
P.S. I'm surprised it's only 1 out of 4 Jews that consider themselves atheists. I would have thought it's more than that.
@j It's made of normal matter, compressed to an infinitely small size. That doesn't make it "exotic matter". lol.
Exotic matter refers to things like tachyons and other hypothetical particles that we have no proof to their existence, not even mathematical hints of them existing, that people speculate on because maybe they could make wormholes or time travel work.
Black holes are literally made from collapsing stars. There's nothing special about the matter they're made from. It's the same elements, the same protons, neutrons and electrons you find in a star. Why are we debating this like it's some big unknown?
@maxmustermann
You forgot the:
Misuse of the Nagasaki one leg torii gate
Mistaking Chinese characters for Japanese Kanji on promotional materials
One of the release dates coincided with an significant JP day (forgot what it was exactly, but something to do with a tragedy in any case, maybe the Fukushima incident?).
Trust me, I know. They've screwed up so hard, that I'm honestly concerned Ubisoft might trigger an international diplomatic incident.
@maxmustermann
Is it officially banned already? I know there were attempts to punish Ubi in various ways. Wasn't aware if any of them got implemented thus far.
@maxmustermann
You know, I didn't believe the conspiracy theory that someone in Ubisoft is intentionally trying to sabotage the company... but man... it keeps getting more and more plausible by the day. Has anyone kept track of how many controversies this game had?
@j Somehow this smells a bit like BS, because this is the first time I've heard anything about black holes requiring anything that could be described as "exotic matter".
Also, the entire singularity problem has kinda been debunked before. You see, if you do the math with Einstein's equations, and assume a static (non-rotating) black hole, you get a singularity as a result of the equations. But to date, all observed black holes have been found to be spinning.
Doing the math on a spinning black hole is much, much harder, but apparently you don't get a singularity anymore from Einstein's equations. You still get an event horizon, a point beyond which the gravity is so large that no light can escape, but underneath that the matter is shaped into a highly dense donut shape. No physics breaking, infinitely small, singularity required.
Of course, Einstein's theory is considered incomplete, and people are looking and hoping for a quantum gravity theory to know for sure what happens in these extreme conditions.
@a1ba That's right. That's why I stole TWO cats.
@Koropokkur @vitalis I think it was because of Nana that I learned about Hatchiko the first time.
