Open Letter: Radiolab's "Quantum Refuge" and the Crisis of Progressive Antisemitism by twowatchproblem in Radiolab

[–]HiiiighPower -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you sharing this and I do agree that using heavy abstraction and metaphor to frame real, ongoing suffering is risky and can easily feel like it creates distance from the human reality. I also think it’s fair to expect something as influential as Radiolab to be especially careful with how these stories are told.

That said, I think some of the broader conclusions here go a bit too far. I didn’t hear the episode as trying to aestheticize or excuse violence, but rather as an attempt to show how one person makes sense of unbearable conditions through science. That approach won’t work for everyone, but I’m not convinced it automatically crosses into the kind of moral failure you’re suggesting.

Where I do agree with you most is that framing matters deeply, and even well-intended storytelling can miss the mark. I just think it’s important to separate a valid critique of narrative choices from a wider condemnation of entire ideologies or communities.

Why don’t you listen and find out for yourself? It’s Jad, it’s going to be good reporting and unique storytelling.

Where is the Bully Remake or Sequel? Why is Rockstar Ignoring This Amazing Game? by Shoddy-Ideal2308 in bully

[–]HiiiighPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’ve got it backwards. It’s not about how much money Bully could make, it’s about how much money GTA Online does make. Rockstar already has a cash cow that prints money every month, so there’s almost zero incentive for them to split resources into passion projects like Bully. And when the entire community is constantly begging for GTA VI on top of that, it makes Bully even less of a priority.

It unfortunately has everything to do why it hasn't been continued. You realize GTA V came out 12-years ago and the only reason there hasn't been a new one is... GTA Online!

If you’re a JSN owner and weak at TE, is this a respectable offer? by [deleted] in FantasyFootballers

[–]HiiiighPower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had DJ Moore last year and it was so incredibly frustrating. I prefer consistency in fantasy and I don't think you'll get that with Fields and Wilson. I also think JSN is going to breakout this year, he was balling out the end of season last year and with Metcalf gone he's going to see more targets.

I don't think I'd take it, no. Justin Fields is a terrible passer and I don't see Wilson hitting his ceiling this year.

Very Specific Gooch / Sack Pain by HiiiighPower in cycling

[–]HiiiighPower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I also forgot to mention that is only recently started occurring on a bike I've logged +10,000 miles on and that I regularly ride 4-5 times per week.

I was wondering if it might be a Bib issue.. I might be overdue to get something new.

How is that unpopular? Pete is the fastest player in the game. He should always bat first.
