I agree with what you are saying. I just thought of the article as more of an entry point. It's not aimed at you. You obviously know what the manoshpere is and have taken the time to learn more.

The article seems like a good starting point for those who don't know. Hopefully, the parents of preteens who have never heard of the manoshpere will pick this up, start learning what it is their kids have been listening to, and put a stop to it.

They passively call out that it's been building for years, but give no real history. Seems to me like they were more trying to say how mainstream it's become. Gamer gate is important to how we got here, but not that widely known about, even when it happened. Everyone knows Joe Rogan.

Either way, larger news outlets like NBC reporting on this is a good thing, even if they are a little late to the party.

You just proved [email protected] point. Android OS is a Linux kernel variant. Since it comes pre-installed, most users have no issue with it.

He's not mentally capable enough to shut up. All he ever had to do with Sandy Hook was stop talking about it and he couldn't do it. It doesn't help that he still hasn't had any actual consequences.

Since you didn't mention it, you might enjoy "Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. Great world building and a unique magic system. Sadly, Jordan passed away before he could finish it, but it was finished by Sanderson. His ending is why I first started reading cosmere.

The president can only pardon federal crimes. State crimes can be pardoned by that state's governor. Still not realistic that it would happen.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It's free to play with no ads but I would encourage you to support the creator (who is also the mod of the lemmy instance) if you can.

It's a rouge like dungeon crawl. You're going to die and start over a lot, but totally worth it when you win.

Hard to believe there is no data on corn fields in the home state of the Corn Palace.

13 Minutes to the Moon.

Season one covers the last 13 minutes of Apollo 11s descent to the lunar surface in incredible detail. Not astronomy, but if you love all things space then give it a listen.
