Yeah, it is the exact opposite of what OP claims. Historians are basically the only ones constantly demystifying her, while her legend as a sexy femme fatale lives on in the general public mind (thanks pretty much exclusively to Hollywood, because let’s face it, noone would know she existed without them).

Nah, it is the other way around. Historians would say those facts, and Hollywood and possibly general media would be the ones saying “sexy”.

Epic had it as one of their freebies once, so it might return there.

Which is the exact same as approving it.

Exactly which nuance is important in this context?

The thing is your story seems more to confirm the scientific consensus around consciousness as connected to the physical existence of the brain. You describe how ancient medicine functioned through trial and error. Some times they came up with stuff that worked, more often than not they didn’t, and they had no way of knowing why a cure worked until scientific progress had discovered the underlying explanations for it. So when they found a cure that just happened to work on a certain disease, they would apply it for all sorts of diseases, or lacking proper diagnosis, would mistake other diseases for the disease it worked on and so forth.

It was blind chance without any actual useful theory behind it. Now we have useful theory which explains why consciousness would be linked to the physical cognitive functions of a brain, and less and less that would explain how it could exist without it.

No, both of those still involves some form of brain consciousness. What we don’t have any evidence of is consciousness existing without a physical body.

Now when a Putin simp is leading the country?

Finely diced celery, carrots and onion is the foundation of basically all great stews and ragouts (including ragu alla bolognese).

So bizarre that they start off with whining about Trump and Musk being criticised. One should have thought that that would be something a true communist could agree with.

Nah, this is just him once again doing Putin’s bidding.

As mentioned before in this thread, that is because the rooms themselves aren’t sufficient, investment in social care involved with the operation of them is as important.

The game is forced multiplayer? Yeah, then I’ll pass.

In 2002 they would all have anti-skip, even the cheap knock offs. The skipping was just in the early 90s.

Well, you shouldn’t watch smart tv anyway. Shut off that slop and use your tv as a dumb tv through a computer. The other way is just asking to be exploited.

Don’t forget him managing to completely destroy federal government as well. That was his main goal in the first place.

How does that strawmanning work out for you? Does it make you feel clever?

To be fair there are a lot of American tankies as well.

And?

Because the original doesn’t really have a lot of predatory monetisation. They are having GTAO wet dreams thinking about how to monetise their most popular game of the franchise with the excuse of doing it as a remake.
