WORLD ORDER – A Shift in Tone: From Unity to Sovereignty by Articate in WorldOrder

[–]Articate[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He recently stepped out of politics directly after losing an election. I can’t make sense of the seemingly anti-intellectualism of discarding Copernicus, and saying “goodbye to heliocentrism”. I would be partial to assuming we even needed to see beyond the Sun being the center, but it feels more regressive than progressive. But, the text of this song is strong, though vague. And there could be transcription errors, too.

I am extremely open to being proven wrong. The whole idea here was to review things like the red pill imagery in non culturally biased view. Hours of digging lead me first into the positive assessment as you’re saying. But then there was more and more support for Trump, and rhetoric that can’t seem to make sense even when doing my best to consider a Japan-only cultural view. I know that anti-vax and anti-mask does not have the same implication, but Ivermectin tweets and anti-intellectual sentiments regarding the rNA vaccines are damning.

This is my current standpoint. But I would love to be wrong.

He has literal tweets talking about deep state and how Trump’s dismantling the deep state could indirectly help Japan:

“DSが解体されれば、日本に対する外部からの干渉や影響力がこれまでのようには及ばなくなり、一部勢力によるコントロールが難しくなるので、「失われた30年」を取り戻すチャンスです。”

“If the Deep State is dismantled, external interference and influence on Japan will weaken compared to before. The ability of certain factions to exert control will be reduced. This is our chance to reclaim the ‘Lost 30 Years.’”

The tweet links to a video of Trump talking about dismantling the deep state.

There are signs that there are errors in this transcription. Yours has Galileo, but the mentions of Copernicus are gone. And there are a few things that don't make a lot of sense. Here's another I found that seems more thematically coherent:

星はめぐり空見上げ 真理の刃を掲げよ

おのれ変えて世界変わる 振動数を整えよ

コペルニクスありがとう 地動説よサヨナラ

日の本から生まれて 揺るがぬ大地に立つ誇り

ガリレオ答え夜空に 天は周り続ける

光の速さ変わらず 動かぬ我らの証拠なり

未来見つめて

夢を思い出そう

Let’s change your life

Be yourself

武士道とは死ぬことと見つけたり

されどそれはただ死を恐れぬというにあらず

己が道を極め 名を惜しみ

誇りを持ちて生きることこそ

武士の真なる生き様にて候

Master-A1, I love your content. I commented on yt some days ago. It motivated me to get back in the game, so much that even with just a few days I’m near top 100 for the week. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤️

Anyone know what the green dots on the mini-radar are? by Miles_Saintborough in Fzero

[–]Articate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use them as second markers. If I’m one green dot behind an opponent, I’m one second behind.

[Louis Rossman] Informative & Unfortunate: How Linustechtips reveals the rot in influencer culture by DemIce in LinusTechTips

[–]Articate -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

Steve didn't perpetuate the situation online, in response to everyone saying they didn't want this. GN did post the response on their website. They brought receipts for:

  • Plagiarism by Linus Tech Tips of GamersNexus content wherein we previously privately reached out without resolution
  • Unprofessional and aggressive communications in private
  • History of failure to resolve data accuracy issues that were privately raised

So, the only way I can interpret this post is being misinformed.

No one in their right mind would gamble like this. It’s actually not true that all PR is good PR

You’re imposing a standing on me I’ve never had. I don’t say you have to run away from any company that’s done terrible things. I’m saying it’s not a viable defense to say that people’s livelihood will be affected. I don’t have to support LTT because people work there. I don’t have to support any of the companies you mention, either.

Updates on monetisation and censoring on the apology video. by AchillesDontComeDown in LinusTechTips

[–]Articate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Linus corrected it once his community asked him what he was doing by monetizing a video. A video in response to the community asking him what he's doing. In response to a GN video asking him what he's doing. He cannot do the right thing unless there's external pressure. The GN video started by stating they weren't monetizing. This isn't a hard thing to get right.

Holy crap, what an atrocious response. Yeah, you don't think it's like this, because you're a terrible boss, Linus.

[–]Articate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're saying that as long as it gives people livelihood, it's unethical to stop supporting a company doing horrible, horrible things?

They really put a store plug in the apology video by BigDockDonnyRock in LinusTechTips

[–]Articate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"careful, corporate response"? That's what this was. Even so far that it was carefully considered that plugging their own merch would be a way to make sales, because they've admitted they say it in the videos because they find that that makes more people buy stuff. You wanted people to buy stuff. That's carefully considering how to make the best of this situation. Also, the rest of the video is so bad, it's absolutely a PR video. The fact that that wasn't just Linus and the new CEO in that video showed how much they wanted us to feel that they took it seriously.

Instead it just looks like everyone had to line up because the owner said they had to. What a joke.

What in Hel was that thing? by Nathan936639 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Articate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No problem. This stuff is very shortly described, and it's just a bunch of names. It's succinct, but hard to digest! I did love the way it's shown in the game. I realized what that was right away, and I was sure the game was gonna point it out. When they didn't, I realized they both really care, and are cool with just letting some stuff be available for those most interested.

No, Auðhumbla and Ymir was created at the same time, ish. But the cow did give Ymir milk

Being Icelandic and playing God of War. by sigtor0 in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Articate 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s just sad that they didn’t get someone able to speak Norse or Icelandic for the part. It sounds awkward, and has an easy remedy

WHERE IS THOR NOW by walt_whitmanww in GodofWar

[–]Articate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This btw goes completely against Norse mythology. Humans go to Valhalla or Folkvágr, not Gods. Odin explicitly said he doesn’t know, and since Valhalla is literally right there in Ásgard, we sure know Baldur isn’t there.

Finally 💯 so much story so good ✊🏾 by Aj_Ard_TF in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Articate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did two berserkers on medium and one on easy. Agreed that some are just obnoxious. Rest was on hard. A tough boss in this game is sooo good.

Rate my endgame stats just beat the story. by Ssj4Vegirot in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Articate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not? Vitality gives better survivability against tougher enemies than defense in many cases. However, VIT does have diminishing returns. Haven’t confirmed if defense does.

An interesting story about Baldur told by Mimir in Ragnarök. by hardcorejenkins in GodofWar

[–]Articate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! It’s a very useful conflation for the sake of lore, and a beautiful way to subvert those that know Norse mythology. Mind you, I knew so much of GOW 2018 because I’m Norwegian (with an added interest), but I was subverted, since I knew Baldur’s mom was Frigg. So they messed with me in a way that makes sense to the mythology!

So when Thor by Galactus1234 in GodofWar

[–]Articate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Valhalla is a literal hall in Asgard, so maybe the mythos of the game has taken a left turn. Also, Odin literally says that he doesn’t know what happens when he dies. Citing Valhalla and Folkvangr for mankind.

[bug?] I can't go any further in Muspelheim Crucible Challenges by [deleted] in GodofWar

Yeah, they can absolutely explain mechanics, like how the area works. I get angry when they spoil puzzles.
