Not disinformation. A 2006 study explicitly studied and showers that while a heavy diet fast food diet is not good for your liver, it cannot explain the extremely poor liver conditions Morgan presented in the documentary.
10 years later, Morgan admitted that he was a heavy alcoholic during filming.

- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 2 days ago:
Ubisoft asked the Rayman team (who have produced some of the best platformers) to develop Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, regarded as the best metroidvania of 2024.
It failed to meet sales expectations, so they disbanded the teams and cancelled the sequel.
Turns out gamers™️ do vote with their wallets, and they vote for churned out sequels.

- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 3 weeks ago:
Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
Same reason it’s not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.

Debate isn’t effective, and its main purpose is theatrical. It is basically the modern day equivalent of gladiator fights, except with the side effect that it platforms and legitimises the opinions of the participants, no matter how extreme.
There is now mountains of scientific evidence showing the debates have limited to no effect at changing people’s minds. Instead, simply making friends and spending time with different perspective is effective.

Low key this is a great way to convince people to switch away from fossil fuels.
Most people seemingly don’t know that coal/gas stations work by essentially boiling water. Most are horrified at how trashy and underdeveloped the concept is compared to high tech alternatives like solar, wind, or hydro.

Hot take: macOS, being Unix like, fosters more tech literacy than Windows.
It’s much better now with windows terminal and winget, but a decade or so ago even basic things like installing python and adding it to PATH were infinitely easier on Unix-like environments.
For those privileged to have programming classes, the first 2-3 sessions were the teachers going round doing tech support just to install python on shitty locked down Windows laptops.
Windows being terrible makes you learn a lot of stuff, but so much of it is untransferrable.

Reminds me how whenever someone makes a realistic Australian city in cities skylines, everyone in the comments roasts them for adding stop signs/signals on highway ramps, which extremely dangerous and inefficient.
They really do have stop signs/signals on highway ramps in Australia 😭

Thee following are more little/no dialogue for the purposes of Immersion, rather than subtitled
Tunica is an unapologetically difficult isometric action/puzzle game
Animal Well is a metroidvania with little/no dialogue
Other similar games are Fez, Hyper Light Drifter

Except that as part of its enshittification Spotify has intentionally changed its algo to push people into more and more homogenous “beige”, nothing music. It has become so prolific that Spotifycore has become a term to describe what happens when you let Spotify autoplay.
With the rise of AI, Spotify is now producing and recommending beige music that is produced on an industrial scale, at the expense of actual artists.

He was probably just caught up in the satanic panic against Pokémon in the 90s.
The situation was so serious that the Vatican had to “bless” the Pokémon 2000 movie in an attempt to tell evangelicals to chill.

I think this is being overly judgemental. He originally created his reputation by going to war against Pantone, a company which holds a near monopoly on colours. At first it was patches to get Adobe to use colours it locked users out of, which he then expanded into Freetone, a colour palette that is free for anyone except Adobe.
Looking at his other behaviour (such as legally changing his name to Amish Kapoor to piss off Anish Kapoor who sued him for colour infringement) suggests that he’s messy, rather than a grifter.
