So a few things about this:

1. The "dubbing" company, TransPerfect Media, is an AI translation media firm. So its nearly 100% confirmed the script was AI translation and localized, with likely little to no oversight.
2. This company and the director/actors are all based in South Africa. This means+

Yet again, we see how YouTube enables theft and fraud to a massively audacious degree. YouTube is focused only on distancing itself from the predation riddling their platform but they *are* responsible for it. They allow it, they make it easy to do, they ensure it can be done with no repercussions.

A group of Muslim women who feed Dublin's homeless week in, week out, attacked by fuel protestors. I think we see who they are now.

RFK Jr is going to go down in history as a blight on human health and medical advancement. Literally setting modern medicine back by decades. Stupid worm-brained freak.

Steven Seagal is 75.
Here’s my favourite story about the great man c/o @willharrisinva.bsky.social & Tom Arnold:

I'll wait. Say what we want about games now, but at least we live in an age where it's easy to fix the issues post launch...however it's certain irritating to be hit with a bad first impression.

So did Samson have a botched release, or is it just a bad game?
Either way, shame, because I'm interested, and I like the fact the devs priced it pretty generously, so I wasn't expecting much.

As much as Hogan deserves the hate, I can't help to find moments where I can say "THAT'S THE WALL BROTHER!" and "That's not gonna work for me, brother"

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code

Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine

The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

Sex workers are being surveilled by the federal government, being stalked by ICE, being abused by cops, being criminalized for existing and being hunted by bigots

It's never the time to punch down on SWs, but this *especially* ain't the time.

Yall.

The anti sex work sentiment isn't helping anyone. Stop it already.

The jobs, workers and creatives, all these people sacrifriced just for these stooges to make profits, and hire people that have very little to do with it to go "look, we are serious and mainstream too!!"
All to sell the image of it to potential investors I bet.

As always, next time you see a big celebrity at the Crunchyroll anime awards, remind yourself how they can afford to dress the dubbing industry up like it’s the Met Gala when underneath all that it’s actors struggling to make ends meet and translation done by shitty robots they don’t have to pay.

Putting the TADC finale in theatres isn’t the folks who make the show taking something from you.

I understand the frustration about inevitably seeing spoilers - but that is something all media contends with when it gets popular enough.

They’re not doing that to you. Anyone boycotting is daft.

if i open up Google's app store, one of the first things I'll be blasted with is an app that lets you gamble on whether the US will invade Greenland

but sure the thoughtful, evocative piece of art that you can buy on the fucking Switch isn't appropriate because of "sensitive themes"

Requiring someone to work without being paid is called "wage theft" and is blatantly illegal.

If you are not being compensated properly for overtime pay, forced to work off the clock, or are being misclassified by your employer so that you're paid less, that's also wage theft.

>Produced by Skydance and John Lasseter too.

Now I wonder you won't see those two in headlines...a monkey's paw.

Tell you what, it's relatable that MY Autism can't cope with lying politicians either, it's just I actually have functioning principles and a moral compass.

There's countless gamers who learned about good music from THPS and GTA games that they wouldn't have listened to on their own.

He's 100% correct.
