Okay. Time for a thread about the Accelerationist propaganda mod for Hearts of Iron 4 and why it's bad that I don't see anyone in the field really talking about how video games and the networks around them are working to radicalize young men at an alarming rate. It urgently needs to be addressed /1

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

He’s right! You don’t have to use it—but it’s going to sweep through codeworld like a purifying fire. You may not care! But it’s not like when it draws you a bad picture of a large-breasted elf. It’s more like it shreds the foundation of what makes tech “valuable.”

occasionally i feel like the early church may have had it right in having converts have to wait 3 years based on how many street preachers i find spewing nonsense in Toronto
Tired: evangelical pastor named Tanner referencing ancient Greek to justify modern views, such as harsh gender norms
Wired: Greek Orthodox priest named Konstantinos referencing ancient Greek to justify ancient views, such as "why don't you come to church more often"

one real problem with contemporary evangelicalism is the tendency to try and appeal to the Hebrew proof texts without reading any Hebrew outside of specific concepts used in sermons
The brief discussion of the Hebrew is also just not true. It treats the prepositional כנגדו (comparative prepositional prefix; נגד, also a preposition meaning opposite, corresponding to, in front of, facing, etc; then the third person possessive suffix) as if it were a noun without any citations
