According to their Wikipedia, Techdirt only accepted money from Charles Koch's foundation for a lawsuit (amongst other donors), and are owned by Floor64.

Floor 64's website only has 2 people listed in their management team, but I couldn't dig up if either are linked to the Koch's (I was pretty cursory about it though).

The article was worth a read for this quote alone:

VGHF library director Phil Salvador puts it even more simply: “Generative AI video is a great way to preserve video games, in the sense that mirages are a great source of water.”

I'm literally so confused, what are you even arguing about anymore? That Pew poll regarding scientific distrust is specifically related to the Covid pandemic, but you're taking about measles, and also how this has been going on for a decade. Which is it, and why are the sociological elements I've mentioned before not value added according to your authority?

All this over a simple comment about the Human Genome Project.

Again, enjoy your crashout. If you feel validated, that's all that matters ig 🤷‍♂️

Measles vaccinations being down can also be linked to mandatory vaccination laws being taken off the books across states during the last decade. It says nothing about the inherent levels of scientific education of the parents doing so.

Previously, parents were mandated by law to have their children vaccinated at birth or to attend schools. We don't know if they would have opted to vaccinate their kids if it wasn't mandatory, and it definitely doesn't point to them "appreciating science" more.

Again, very condescending reply from you, considering correlation /= causation is a basic rule of research.

Enjoy your crashout, ig.

Then let me be succinct: There was never any "science appreciation" among the general public, and if you think there was, you're in a bubble. A specific, most likely higher educated and most likely American bubble. You're just hearing voices outside the bubble now.

Condescending comments like your reply might contribute to the science derision though, just saying.

Sure, but "fine" is not really what I want for a Zelda movie, personally. And judging by the apprehension of a lot of the Zelda fanbase, they seem to have similar sentiments.

Also I'm not really sure why my other comment is getting downvoted, it was just what I observed in my circle of family/friends/coworkers. Apologies to any long time Mario fans I offended.

Science derision, has been around for forever, look up the history of anti-vaccination leagues in the UK and US in response to the small pox vaccine in the 1800s. There were antivax parents at my primary school in the 90s too. They were just in pockets of small communities before, and therefore wielded less power. Social media has allowed them to gather into one town square and allowed them to reinforce each other's delusions, amplify their voices, spread (aptly) like a virus, and most importantly tie it to a political/culture war.

Or it's the consequences of lead and heavy metals poisoning finally coming to their natural conclusion regarding the function of the human brain.

I hate to tell you this, but the Human Genome Project the meme is referencing was completed in 2003 and published in 2004.

Time sure flies 🥲

This is so weird, because they had already restored/updated it for HD when it was on HBO Max, and it was fine. No AI gibberish in the backgrounds. Did Netflix not have the rights to that version or something?

I think I've seen loose cornflakes and stuff at Bulk Barn? But I'm not sure where they would be sourcing it from.

I think it was well received with children? Most adults I know who saw it basically shrugged, said it was fine, and then eagerly awaited Super Mario Bros Wonder instead.

... I don't think you understand what's going on in Serbia if you think there's voting happening. Have a good day.

The hours I spent on that FUCKING DICE GAME
