i heard tickets for it in the black market can go up to 3000 euros. personally, i wouldn't even watch it on tv even if you paid me to. most of the songs are crap and its more about politics than art at this point. if i want politics i can just watch the news or a livestream from the parliament

Even worse is that other people think that the majority is on the side of this niche minority because they see the number of followers and start going nuts thinking that the entire world is like them. Then they repeat what the influencer said and get all the bots to give them a like and just reenforce the delusion. I said it since the day FB was created "social media is a mistake that will backfire spectacularly".

or there are so few people who watch it that finding one at random is a statistical anomaly.

The number of seasons is not a measure of success. In fact in this case the money they wasted on making these 3 seasons of a totally unpopular and unprofitable show is part of what led them to this financial situation. The creators of this show were much more interested in ticking all the items in their ideological checklist than making an interesting story and the result was a show that lost money for the studio but they kept coming up with excuses to keep the show going until the studio ran out of money.

by making shows like that they ran out of money. the problem with the show was not the "black gay woman", it was the complete lack of brains on the writing team who couldn't put a coherent sequence of events together or write a believable character to save their lives

removing or altering historical facts is what causes the proverbial "those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it".

people who adhere to certain ideologies tend to see things in a way too binary way. its either A or Z and there is nothing in between for them.

I don't know which is funnier, Biden's lie or the responder's ignorance.

Its funny how people are saying "Russians meddled in the elections to make Trump president" and at the same time they say "the US election system is meddler proof" when Biden is accused of electoral fraud. But hey, hypocrisy is the only thing you can count on when it comes to politics. anyway

There is only one thing that matters: we will finally get to play IRL Fallout if this escalates.

To understand how low we have fallen as a country here in Greece. I was listening to a late night talk show where the host was both a long time veteran of tv and a government shill and there were 5 guests, 3 politicians from 3 different parties a reporter and a lawyer. One of the 3 politicians was a representative of the government and made a statement that got the host to say WTF out loud on live tv while the other 4 guests had a look like a million silent facepalms had hit them. The topic of the discussion was how the government has hired hundreds of redundant people in an agency, who will be payed 4 times higher than the average employee there and were asking the representative why in the middle of this latest economic crisis and with covid still being a problem, they decided to throw that much money away. His response was that thanks to them spending money they don't have to hire people they don't need in an agency they wish to do away with, they are making sure that they will create a stable healthcare system for the next 50 years... while having fired 1/3 of the doctors in public hospitals so far. But that's what we get for voting a Harvard political science graduate for PM... He brought all that is wrong with american politics with him and invited all the extreme right elements into his party to pad the vote numbers. And believe it or not, the funny thing here is that our far right has mostly the same positions as the American Democrats while the literal communist party says the things you typically hear from a Republican.

if i remember right, in the walking dead, everyone was already infected, they just had to go through the process of activating the infection to become a zombie... so in that picture they are not those who didn't get it, they are the asymptomatic

I was reading an article about a study by a German professor named Christof Kuhbandner of Regensburg University. In his study he found an anomaly in the data about the people who died of covid by age group. In 2020, the deaths at each age group were pretty constant through the year but in 2021 there were huge spikes in death rates in certain weeks for each age group. These spikes coincided with the time when vaccination for each of these age groups started. This anomaly is present in Austrian, German, UK, Israeli and other countries data about covid deaths. You can draw your own conclusion about what these spikes could mean but i will remind you that in all the countries mentioned in this study, there were laws passed before vaccination started that absolved the manufacturers of any and all legal responsibility.

that would be funny if they added in the game everyone that makes excuses with "not all (insert group)".

this sounds like conspiracy theorists making mental gymnastics to find connections that validate their point
