Does the fact that I thought of ghouls while reading this make me a terrible person?

Don't believe anything you read in The Sun.

As a citizen of the internet, I am obliged to believe anything, if there are pics. "Pics or it didn't happen" works both ways.



Since it isn't technically science, I can't use my usual methods of bullshit detection, but here's a slightly better source;

The Sun may be a bullshit, sensationalist "source" of "news", but even bullshit usually has a grain of truth. When crime is actually down, unemployment is down, but you know for a fact most of that isn't actually from any real job growth, do the math. People are literally opting out of modern civilization.

They count on you to believe there's some truth.

Like for example, in the Metro they had an article about this flesh eating superbug that is easily spread on public transport. Last week, in the corrections section, they said that the bug was actually very rare and only transmitted in hospitals.

They do this with figures a lot too. They will correct the 1/3 people smoking that they reported to 1/10. They rely on shocking figures because without them they are not newsworthy.

I literally just realized something. Three Dogg sees himself as the protector of the wasteland, which is hell, really. Cerberus is a three headed dog that guards the gates of the underworld. Must have got his name from that. Woah.

Probably, because it's kind of a dumb name otherwise. I always figured it meant that or was just a reflection of what a hippy Three Dog Is.

I got the Ultimate Edition of New Vegas, which comes with all the DLC. 40 hours into this playthrough so far and still lots to do. Awesome game.

They need to announce Fallout 4 already.

Bunnytoofs has convinced me this is a worthy investment :3
