I just have to say this again—idc about what you’re doing, I’ll leave you 100% alone, live how you want to live, but you cannot force ME to play YOUR game, and my refusal to play your game isn’t bigoted, hurtful, or aggressive.

I’ve worked with metric ranking systems like this before, and institutions/companies basically try to check as many boxes as they can in order to raise their score and ranking. With ESG scores, it’s an insidious method of undermining capitalism.

I'm starting to think that the WEF keeps on talking about the ocean because they know that the seasteading movement is a genuine threat to the NWO.

#Apple unveiled the #VisionPro on June 5, or 5/6.
Vision Pro = 56
It reminds us of the death of #SteveJobs at age 56, 56 days after Steve Wozniak's birthday. And it also reminds us who controls these big tech companies.
Society of Jesus = 56
#Gematria

@xianc78 Rauru in general feels like some cringey fanfic OC since he's literally treated like a god, among other things

re: Zelda lore 

@xianc78 Personally I think TotK must've had new writers on the team who had little respect for the Zelda series and its world building, because not only does TotK's story make no sense whatsoever and retcon tonnes of shit (even BotW), it shits all over hard rules for how the setting works that have been around since Zelda's earliest days. In TotK, no Link has ever fought Ganondorf in this timeline, two different unrelated heros who aren't link have defeated Ganon/Ganondorf at separate points in time, and Ganon is the lesser form of Ganondorf, not that Ganon is the greater true form.

Ad-blockers? How about browser plug-ins that filter every pepe, wojack, gigachad, and all others forms of post-2014 4chan garbage? That would be a brilliant idea.

Zelda lore 

I really don't like how BoTW screwed up the Zelda lore by taking place in all the timelines, despite all the contradictions, and taking place over 10,000 years after the previous games. But TotK somehow made it worse.

First off, why haven't the Zonai been mentioned previously? I expect the first King of Hyrule to be Skyward Sword Link or a descendant of him, not some humanoid goat. Also, why are the Rito in the early days of Hyrule? It's already bad enough that BoTW implies that the Rito existed in all other timelines, while also coexisting with the Zora. Now apparently, they've been there since the beginning.

According to the ZeldaWiki, they're talking about the founding of a different incarnation of Hyrule. Well, that's great! The Hyrule we tried to revive in BoTW is not the same Hyrule we all know and love. Up to this point, the only other Hyrule we knew about was the New Hyrule in Spirit Tracks. And why did a non-Hylian decide to re-establish a kingdom that he has no ancestral connection to? It doesn't make sense. It's called Hy-rule, as in "Hylians rule".

Seriously, BoTW and ToTK might as well be reboots of the franchise, at this point. None of this makes any sense.

I also don't find the excuse that giving BoTW a set placement in the timeline would've limited the creative freedom of the development team. They could've easily made an open world Zelda game set immediately or a few centuries after Zelda II because Zelda II's overworld is huge, possibly even bigger than BoTW's/ToTK's overworld, and for whatever reason, Nintendo has never made a chronological follow-up to Zelda II even after over three decades. It would've been much easier to go with that route instead of fucking up the lore again.
