  • Heroic Games Launcher is a pretty smooth experience on Linux for what it’s worth. It works well for GOG, Epic, and Amazon Games.

  • No shit? I’ve clearly not done any research on the internet before typing my comment. There is no way I already read the article you posted. /s

    That said, I’m guessing this is the part of the article you were referring to?

    But uh, is Armstrong a Scientologist?

    That’s the big question! Armstrong has never publicly identified with the Church of Scientology, though she did attend a gala in 2013. More recently, Armstrong supported actor and prominent Scientologist Danny Masterson at his 2020 rape trial, where he was convicted on two counts.

    To summarize, she showed up to a single preliminary court date in 2020, but cut contact after details emerged? She also attended a gala a decade ago where her family was present? That’s not really proof of anything.

  • So basically it’s not something she’s ever said, but you’re assuming that she holds the exact beliefs of Scientology. This in spite of the fact she was reportedly raised by a Scientologist, yet is openly gay in contradiction to their teachings. Not to mention her songwriting for Dead Sara, which would indicate other beliefs.

    For all we know she left years ago and doesn’t ascribe to any of it. It’s extremely hard to know, and personally I’d like to have some real proof before launching a “righteous” crusade against her.

  • Just looking for proof she’s currently a Scientologist.

  • Proof?

  • Honestly give it a minute for the emotions of it all to settle down. Best I can tell this is an out of control internet rage machine, with very little factual information to back up the claims so far. She’s a world class vocalist who’s a relative unknown for most people, and all we’re currently getting is wild and unproven accusations based on hearsay.

  • Can you point to where she said that she doesn’t “believe in” mental illness?

    Most of the accusations being thrown around are tenuous and unproven as far as I can tell. I’m tired of the hate-train circle jerk. People need to back up their statements with facts and evidence, not hearsay.

    I’ve been loosely following Emily Armstrong and Dead Sara for a decade or more, and I was so stoked to see join Linkin Park. I swear people just want to be mad these days. If she did shitty things that sucks, but this purity test nonsense has got to stop. Receipts or STFU.

  • Mayhaps the people of Israel aren’t a hive mind and different groups want different things?

    Is it possible that many of want aid entering and work hard for it to flow into Gaza, while others violently oppose it?

  • Haha, I was wondering when someone was going to point that out. You’ll notice both MBFC and Ad Fontes were given that status primarily due to being Self-Published. However I wouldn’t consider MBFC or Ad Fontes to be the be-all and end-all perfectly authoritative source either.

  • You want to debate the specifics of an article from a source I find unreliable. I don’t want to. I wouldn’t want to if someone was posting something from Israel Hayom either.

  • The beauty of Wikipedia is they cite sources, keep edit history, and have a strong ethos of neutrality.

    Smaller articles are more prone to being abused due to the sheer scale of Wikipedia, but are still subject to moderation if reported.

    I don’t view Wikipedia articles as definitive, but generally I trust the community and don’t believe it has been overrun by right wing groups like NGO Monitor.

    There is a consensus that NGO Monitor is not reliable for facts. Editors agree that, despite attempts to portray itself otherwise, it is an advocacy organization whose primary goal is to attack organizations that disagree with it or with the Israeli government regarding the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Some editors also express concern about past attempts by NGO Monitor staff to manipulate coverage of itself on Wikipedia

    Further reading

  • Media coverage of the crisis there has been very biased and superficial.

    Can you be more specific? Is there any particular coverage that you find biased and superficial?

    I will admit that some outlets undoubtably cover this better than others, but that is the case in all conflicts.

  • I tend to side with Wikipedia in believing The Cradle unreliable in their news coverage, and wanted to pass it along.

    They are are listed in the same category as the Anti Defamation League on the topic of Israel. Something that The Cradle chose to write about without disclosing their own status.
