Today's topic on the radio is 'the free birth society', a near cult that propagates giving birth without any medical assistence, born out of greed by a lady who saw an opening for a market and has made millions on it, only to lose her third child while practicizing her own insane beliefs.

Even ignoring my own history with the subject, what is it with Americans that makes them so susceptible to morons who'll denounce any form of scientific knowledge and the likes?

I'm not too certain, myself. A lot of these people believe in so many different conspiracies, thinking they know something , that they are a part of the in group. American media is littered with these conspiracy theory types who just profit off of the ridiculous and our "real" journalists do very little or nothing to push back.It doesn't help that we jave government officials who seem to be anti science and peddle their own conspiracies.

The bottom line is America has a media literacy problem and it has really gotten out of hand the last decade.

I came back to edit and soften my post, as perhaps it's our own media that focuses solely on the extremes.  Which undoubtedly is the case.  But the fact that you replied and kind of agree shows that it's probably more than that.

It's also strange when you compare the media landscape in say Russia, where everything is state controlled and people are fed the 'truth' that the government wants them to see, and that in America, where media is so free that it has given space to 'conspiracy types', that authocrats manage to thrive on both.  In the first there is no room for facts and in the second there is so much paranoia and doubt created about everything that the truth just gets swamped.

Our mainstream news media has largely replaced facts with their "opinions" which they tell us are "facts" so many don't trust them anymore,

Those people try to find the real facts online, but nobody knows who is telling the truth and that leads to even more crazy talk and conspiracies.

So my Switch 1 Pro controller works fine on Switch 2, but I won't be able to wake up the console with it. Hrm So laziness is Nintendo's sinister plan to get me to buy a $90 Switch 2 Pro Controller? Ain't happening, Nintendo! I am more cheap than I'm lazy.

It's not really a deal. It's been availible at around that price for a month or so, sometimes by different sellers. Still too expensive for me.

I'm waiting on a 2tb card that I don't have to sell kidneys to buy.

I couldn't find any info on an update for it. I'll try it once I get my Switch 2 setup. I usually just leave my controllers pluged in, so I should be able to wake it up that way, but not wirelessly.

Google Ai says it won't wake Switch 2. Funny I saw a 128kb video showing a 3rd party controller that could wake Switch 2.

Yeah, the 8bitdo Pro 3 controllers can wake it by shaking the controller, but you have to enable it in the controller firmware yourself or something. I saw a video on it a month ago.

I have a Nintendo Pro 1 controller and an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, neither of which supposedly can wake a Switch 2 wirelessly.

Select streamers will be featuring Metroid Prime 4

I didn't want to say anything, but Nintendo begged me to stream Metroid Prime 4. Begged I tell you. But as a man of principal, I reaffirmed my commitment to stream no new Nintendo games until they send over StarTropics 3. I understand they still feel the game needs a little more polish, and I respect that, but I'm not going to change my stance no matter how many millions of dollars they throw at me.
