It's because they find evidence to support their truth, instead of formulating a theory based in the evidence. I've heard it described with the circle analogy.
Imagine the absolute truth is a circle, but we don't know what the shape is. By doing research, we find out certain facts as points on that circle. We can then draw straight lines between those points, and draw a shape that's as close to the absolute truth as we can get, with the data we have. Further research and discoveries place more dots, sometimes falling outside of the lines we've drawn. So we redraw the shape more and more, always increasing towards that circle. That's how science works.
Conspiracy theorist do the opposite. They draw a random shape (that's nowhere near a circle, like a star), and then go out to find proof that fits on that shape. Some proof is correct - it just happens to fall on the same lines as the circle. Others are completely out there, aligning with their shape, but not with the circle (because it's not relevant to the truth). And if they do find proof that fits on the circle, but not on their star, it's ignored.
On one hand, I don't want to make fun of her looks, if they're the results of medical complications. That's just mean.
But she'd pull off an amazing Lae'zel cosplay.
It's why Ubisoft baffles and aggravates me.
They clearly have wonderful game devs and designers working for them. A lot of their games have some really neat mechanics that are fun to play with.
But then they fuck it all up by monetizing it all to shit, or padding the game with so much useless bullshit it becomes a chore to play, or fucking up the pacing of the story with the sheer amount of useless side quests.
I'll freely admit - I enjoy playing their open world collect-a-thon games. But I have to play it in parts, because it just gets too grating. And of course I only buy their games when they're already a few years old, so I can take advantage of sales. No way I'm paying âŹ120 for a game, even with all the spinning rims and fancy baubles.
Actually, the Dutch translation is "Nijlpaard", not "rivierpaard".
But, it uses the Dutch name for the Nile river, "Nijl". So it's lit. "Nilehorse" - which is technically the same as "river horse", just more geographically specific.
A few weeks later:
Sony: Piracy is killing the industry! We need tougher legislation!
The same people who claim Stellar Blade's Eve is peak design because she's "based on an actual model!", also continuously rag on Aloy while forgetting Aloy was also based on an actual model.
And then you start to go through your dad's old record collection, and realize "damn, the old man was on to something"
Fun fact! This temple is home to several depictions of the Egyptian creation myth.
However, the way they are drawn, makes it look like giant lightbulbs. This led to the popular conspiracy theory that the temple was built using electrical lighting, despite no evidence having been found.
Yes. The whole thing is a sham, deliberately. They're trying tomqake an impeachment seem ridiculous and frivolous, to make the impeachment against Trump seem like a non-issue.
Remember, these are modern-day politicians. They're no longer interested in the truth. Only optics.
Her cleric powers don't come from Shar, but from the Force.
When she thinks she's talking to her goddess, she's actually talking to a force projection ghost.
He's down a solid 35%!
"Really? So you shit with the toilet door open?"
Why waste 5 seconds every time to want to watch a video, when you can waste 10 hours writing a script to automate it?
That's just how we programmers roll
But reports about bugs introduced by patch 6 are still pouring in :( the two hotfixes helped, but I'm still gonna wait.
Finished my first a BG3 run, blind. Was considering starting a second run, with "perfect" choices (and mods) but it seems that patch 6 broke quite some things.
Gonna spend time playing "dad games", then. I don't know what's so appealing about those "X simulator" games, but I can absolutely get lost in them.
Didn't he also join the BLM protest a while back? IIRC he has a African-American daughter in-law (and grandkids).
A bear walks into a bar, and approaches the bartender.
"two beers...
And a coke, please" he orders.
"sure," the bartender says. "but why the large pause?"
The bear looks down and replies "I dunno! I was born with 'em!"
A pirate walks into a bar, with a large steering wheel sticking out of the front of his pants. As he approaches the bartender, he is met with bewildered stares.
The bartender says, "sir, you appear to have a steering wheel stuck in your pants!"
The pirate replies "Arrrr, it's drivin' me nuts!"
One of them is a doctor, and the other one a deaf man.
Every day, the doctor gives the girl a gorgeous rose. "a beautiful flower, for a beautiful girl," he says.
The deaf man gives the girl a large red apple every day, but never says anything.
One day, when the deaf man gives the girl his daily apple, the girl asks "why do you give me an apple every day?"
To which the deaf man responds: "WHAT??"
And happily, she accepts. Of course, the boy wants to do his very best to make this evening as unforgettable as he can.
So, he goes to the local suit rental place, to rent a ridiculously fancy suit. But, he wasn't the only one with that idea, and there is a giant line of other guys, all waiting to rent suits. But, he wants to look his absolute best for the girl he loves, so he dutifully waits in line.
He then goes to the local florist, to buy the best and biggest corsage he can find for her. But, he isn't the only one with that idea, as there is a giant line of people, all waiting to buy flowers too. But, he wants nothing but the best for the girls he loves, so he patiently waits in line.
He then goes to a car rental company, where he intends to rent a super fancy car to drive them to the prom. However, it's a busy day for the rental company, and there is also a giant line of people waiting to rent a car. But, again, he wants what's best, so he spends several hours in line, waiting patiently for his turn.
Finally, the big night is there. The girl compliments the guy on his suit, is over the moon about the beautiful corsage, and is exstatic about the fancy car he rented. They arrive at the prom, and the guy asks her what she wants to do. She replies she firstly wants something to drink, so the guy walks over to the punch bowl, and then there is no punch line.
