Thinking a lot about how the characters are portrayed by the media vs by personal photos
What’s interesting to me here is the difference between the public photos.
Ballister’s photo is a still image. We don’t know anything about the context in which it was taken, except that it was not the context in which it was displayed. I can easily see this as him reacting to someone saying something dumb, but we really don’t know.
Nimona’s is also a still image, but we know exactly where it came from: she made that face while breaking Ballister out of prison. The portrayal of her as an agent of chaos who will gleefully tear down their way of life is actually pretty accurate, just missing the context of why she acts that way, not to mention the fact that this is only one aspect of her character.
With Ambrosius, it’s an advertisement that he participated in. Again, we don’t know the context, but we do know that public perception is important to him (when Ballister worries in the opening that the public will hate him, Ambrosius insists that they won’t, and not that Ballister’s accomplishments will be valid no matter what the public thinks.) We also know that he has a lot of anxiety about failing in his responsibilities, a problem with people pleasing, and a severe inability to advocate for himself.
So, three versions of how the media can inaccurately portray someone.
With Ballister, they outright lie.
With Nimona, they are technically telling the truth, but such a narrow slice of it that they completely misrepresent who she actually is.
With Ambrosius, they construct a character for him and then pressure him into conforming to it.
In every case, they reduce the person to a symbol and deny their humanity.
Israel has healthcare paid for the United States? You’re joking ..you MUST be joking tell me you’re joking right the fuck now
Not our country-daddy taking care of his side chick better than us UGH
I kept looking for non-biased answers and ran into a lot of ‘ok sure the us gives Israel billions of dollars for Whatever but it’s not JUST for healthcare, like it’s not a dedicated thing’ like…wow…truly a country of dancing around the issue. And to go “oh well the government pays it..” babes…
Yeah no, I’m sure the country using tiktok thirst traps to legitimize it’s military has nothing nefarious to hide.
A casual reminder that while Israel is pumping out propaganda through tweets and tiktoks, they have simultaneously been killing journalists at an unprecedented rate. The IDF has killed over 25 (most likely an underestimate) Journalists since Oct 7th 2023 (Source).
hi hari 💚 i just want to say thank you for never shutting up about palestine and wanted to ask if you were willing to share a little list of where you get your updates/news about the situation (and current events in general)? what sources are the most misinformation-free that you would recommend? i hope you have a lovely day xx
Man I know I’m bitching about this a lot but I think the complete degradation of the satire and edge of the fallout series over time makes me so mad. The first game literally has an occupying American soldier shooting a Canadian protester dead right there in the opening to let you know the game’s stance towards the military and the US as a whole; it’s a biting attack on the jingoistic, war-and-profit loving country the US was, rooted in reality. It immediately forces the player to recognize the US (especially in this setting) were not heroic, patriotic do-gooders, but violent, colonizing bastards who blew up the world over chasing a white-picket-fence dream. “War never changes” is about the futile nature of war, the repeating cycles of violence and corruption, the very principles of fighting your fellow man never changing over time. It is always abhorrent, it is always messy, it is always reprehensible, and it is always done for the self interest of the elite in some way. Men do not die for their country, they simply die. Contrasting that with the opening of Fallout 4, which seems to idolize the military and pre-war America, is fucking baffling. You have those white picket fences, those perfect nuclear families, and “war never changes” is stretched like an Animorph cover from a harsh condemnation of the violent cycles the world is put through to a patriotic, watered down idea that war is inevitable and so are heroes. There’s no fucking edge to how Fallout 4 remembers the country that ended the world; it gleefully eats up the Americana iconography, sanding down every edge that could make the player even consider that the US in the world of Fallout is meant to be our US taken to a logical extreme, instead revelling in patriotic clothes and ideals and icons while the entire basis of the franchise was built on satirizing and critiquing that exact blind patriotism. It drives me insane that these two completely ideologically different games are under the same roof and that one of them fell for the exact propaganda the first game was satirizing in the first place.
Honestly, Post-4 Fallout has the exact same problem that the Star Wars sequels had, in that it is way too mired in the imagery of the originals without understanding any of the meaning behind that imagery. It’s why, despite that whole trilogy being a wash, I really respected and enjoyed The Last Jedi cuz it had a thematic point to make: LET THIS FRANCHISE EVOLVE IN NEW AND INTERESTING WAYS INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PUT THE LIGHTNING BACK IN THE BOTTLE BY SHAMELESSLY COPYING AND TWEAKING SOMETHING THAT’S ALREADY BEEN DONE!
Fallout has the same problems regarding 4 and 76, in that all it’s really doing is making an atompunk sandbox to run around in without necessarily trying to make any real thematic point, which for a series like Fallout that has more or less run off of its scathing commentary and satire about capitalism, American exceptionalism, and the cyclical nature of warfare, is gonna turn off a lot of the sorts of people who play Fallout specifically for the quality of its writing, and it’s why people hold New Vegas in such high esteem. NV represents an actual evolution of the themes and ideas present in the original West Coast games by showing that this setting can grow beyond its proto-50’s origins (as well as its fairly Mad Max-ish roots as a setting by showing actual proper civilization coming back), in ways that are both for good and for ill, and the core thematic through-line running through it all is that the past not only deserved to die but deserves to ultimately be buried and forgotten cuz every time someone tries to remake it they either get hit with the the “Road to Hell being paved with Good Intentions” stick (NCR and House, plus Honest Hearts and Lonesome Road) or make things indescribably worse (Legion, plus all of Dead Money and Old World Blues). The only ending that feels good to get (imho) is the Wild Card ending simply because it finishes out the theme of the game, and this franchise as a whole: Begin Again.
I do hope that, now that Obsidian and Bethesda are under one roof, we could potentially get some of that biting Fallout satire back in another West Coast Fallout, but that probably isn’t happening until Elder Scrolls VI, and given the rather tepid reception to Starfield I’m not necessarily holding out much hope unless they have a real shake-up in their writing staff.
today i got locked out of watching youtube videos entirely on adblock grounds, so i did some tinkering.
ublock does not, in fact, seem to circumvent this, but i did find out something new through circumstance as well as trial and error:
bf told me two bits of information that turned out to be rather useful. 1) he hasn’t really gotten the youtube adblock notifications much. 2) his work laptop blocks youtube cookies completely. (this annoys him a bit because a couple quality of life features function off cookies)
so when i was trying to troubleshoot how to wrangle youtube into letting me listen to music without constantly throwing intrusive as hell ads at me, i decided to block youtube cookies just to see what would happen.
well wouldn’t you know, it has stopped complaining about ads being blocked entirely. for now anyway.
TL;DR: looks like youtube is using cookies to check for adblockers, so blocking them seems to cause it to leave you alone.
if you’re feeling helpless about the genocide in gaza please remember that you’re still a consumer! you can help by taking part in the BDS movement by being more mindful of where you spend your money! boycott Starbucks, McDonald’s, and Disney..as well as these other major brands:
