Are horseflies a lie because they don't eat horses?

Also conjuring up unnecessary details is a hyperphantasia thing, not doing it doesn't mean you have aphantasia.

And you'd at least get to protest under Harris. Trump openly wants to go Tiananmen Square on you if you protest.

It's because in older games, you could clearly differentiate between the background and the gameplay relevant sprites or models drawn over it. It was a technical necessity but it doubled as communicating to the player what's important. When technology advanced past that being technically necessary, something needed to take its place. The pulse is just one of many ways to do that and the easiest one to integrate into a realistic artstyle. When you get more stylized, your options open up considerably.

It's like the trolley problem, except instead of the other track having fewer people, it has more, and it just loops back around to run over the people on the first track anyway. We should have sent the trolley on a completely different route decades ago.

The difference is back then, it was relegated to the insane fringe. The premise of the X-Files is "what if all those farfetched conspiracy theories were true", evil FEMA was in the same category as cryptids and alien abduction. Now it's part of the platform of the second largest political party in the country. It's roughly equivalent to campaigning on killing Bigfoot, if not worse because at least the latter is harmless.

Remember when every platform renamed PMs to DMs and everyone who pointed out that they're trying to remove the expectation of privacy was "paranoid"?

If Mexican food gives you the shits, you need to eat more fiber so your digestive system doesn't immediately panic on contact with beans.

They'll also say they're too smart to be affected by advertising.
