Wow, an Erevien thread got yeeted today.
Which one? Lol
āThe Fall of the Alliance.ā It was quite over-the-top. He said he wanted Alliance players to never have fun again.

What did Billy Nye do?
He just angrily slammed creationists. He said that children shouldnāt be exposed to religion. Heās pushing a science only agenda basically, expecially in his Netflix series. It seems like heās become aggressively opinionated. Dropped an f-bomb on his show whoāse target demographic was kids.
Thereās a point in there but I also think that parents should be the ones to make decisions for thier children regarding religion and spirituality, not him. Not all aspects of religion is harmful, science and religion should be taught to children imo. They are both a part of humanity. Religion taught me valuable lessons on Alturism that I think is important for children to learn. Athiesm tends to lean heavily into nihilism, which is equally unhealthy. But thatās just my subjective opinion. (I donāt know why Thadeus thinks iām in the far radical left lol)

Iām too lazy to go into detail about it, but thereās been times where heās said something then later on said the exact opposite of what heās said before depending on what show heās on.

Bill Nye is also a unscientific hack and always has been. He has a BS in mechanical engineering and spent most of his time teaching elementary level science to children, and he has spent most of his life as a glorified clown. Failing as a comedy writer and producer, and always forced to fall back on armature gigs likeā¦ Being a Steve Martin look alike and āBack to the Future: The Animated Seriesā
And because he is B-list levels of famous, he thinks he can stand shoulder to shoulder with Carl Sagan, Neil Degrass Tyson, and now thinks he is the next Richard Dawkins.
He is not an authority figure when it comes to science. When it comes to the scientific community, Bill Nye is lacking in education, and while he has advocated for science, he has never authored or proofed a scientific paper. He says things that he thinks will increase his popularity, not because they are based in scientific fact, and that has basically made him a mouth piece for political and commercial entities.
Sorry about yāalls childhoods, but Bill Nye is not the Science Guy. He is just an actor.

This Bill Nye discussion is a bit odd. I saw a few episodes when I was youngerā¦ in schoolā¦ while my teacher nursed a hangover.
I think people need to come to grips with reality a bit. Maybe separate a Character from an actor.
I mean, Archie Bunker is one example. He has fans who actually think he is rightā¦ but that was an acting role Caroll OāConner performed, and he is politically the opposite. He actually aligns more with Meathead irl.
I donāt blame him. He is getting his name out there and making a living.
Back in the day, B or C list celebrities would do game shows. Now they get invited to the 24 hour news networks to push their products.
Letās get political! Tomorrow is the anniversary of the U.S. capital riot.
The WoW equivalent would be when the Stonemasons Guild accidentally killed Tiffin Wrynn. You could also consider Siege of Ogrimmar on Horde to be an equivalent.

I was expecting to disagree but this is actually a pretty fair comparison.
Defias just need to print āMake Stormwind Great Againā on their bandannas.

Exactly.
I think this is what stings the most. Even if just playing a character, I enjoyed The Science Guy and had good memories of watching in school when I was younger, yet twenty years later that enjoyment has become tarnished because heās not the pleasant person he was presented as.
Heās riding on the fame of that character though. He thinks he can make serious assertions because of the character he played, which doesnāt make the real life claims he makes about science credible.
That is the worst kind of political.
It is ironic that people wearing ādont tread on meā schwag were stampeded over by their fellow treasonous white supremacist rabble.
I guess the crowd couldnāt read.

Oof Iām still not over this.
You know, I really wish Stormwind has more character and wasnāt so bland. Because the Defias lore is really cool and nuanced and makes me WANT to like Stormwind humans.

I want the story of that rock to be told.
Where did it come from? Where is it now? Does he tell his little pebbles that he took out royalty?
Sometimes I wonder if that rock in WoD is the same rock, lost in the time ways. The rock that says it has a little blood on it.

I imagine they could do something interesting with the Timeway to go back and make our OC the one who threw the rock.
āThatās for Wastfall!!ā

That could be a Caverns of Time dungeon that fits into an expansion somehow

Donāt we have enough CoT dungeons where the PCs have to help the evil guys commit their evil deeds to protect the timeline?
I mean, after helping summon the Horde to Azeroth and personally Culling Stratholm, Iām kinda thinking maybe the Infinites have something there.
And if you think about it, if we hadnāt fought the Infinites in those two situations, we would have foiled Zovaalās plans.
