I'm not sure you understand free speech. Free speech means he can make public threats to people without repercussions, doxx people when he feels like it, lie, and spread misinformation for personal gain. It means unbanning rule breaker

Keita Takahashi is such an odd guy. Really creative and approaches games from a very different perspective than a lot of other creators, but Katamari Damacy was such a flash in the pan for him. His later endeavors have been equally if not m

It's not about simply not doing something illegal - we all regularly commit crimes that we could be charged with if we piss off the wrong people. When a company does it, it's "disrupting" and heavily rewarded if the comp

EKG interpretation - I doubt I'll get around to ultrasound and CT in 2025, they're a good bit more complicated. I also recently got a Quest 3, so hoping to learn some basic modeling and rigging, I want to make a VR medical clinic.
