I’m enjoying the show but I can’t help but see it as a western critique of communism. The whole show feels primed to play off of the “socialist country does good thing, but at what cost?” Headlines you see. Individualism vs scary brainwashed collectivism. Breaking Bad was a phenomenal show but it definitely also extolled the virtues of rugged individualism.

I do like your read of it though as a critique of AI and hadn’t considered that before.

Can someone post the Mario emoji for me please? I don’t feel like scrolling through the emoji catalogue.

I don’t think it’s sinful to participate in sinful practices when society forces you too. Owning stocks is usually people’s only hope for retirement and not working until they literally die of old age. The moral onus should be placed on the people who design these systems, not those that are coerced into relying on them by design.

Yes, I’m sure this post is a bit.

Was anyone else confused by the perspective in the image and thought he was looking at some kind of robot thing that was on stage with him?

“So how many feet under were you buried?” “Oh you know, 6, 7.”

What gets me is that this was the outcome of a republican win in 2024 and the democrats’ strategy to prevent it was to run Kamala fucking Harris.

This was more or less how people framed the discussion of weapons of mass destruction in the months leading up to the invasion of Iraq.

This should be the series finale. I know they’re renewed beyond that but it still makes the most sense as the way to go out.

The virgin adjusting your views after critically questioning previous information vs the chad inciting a civil war after slipping into fox-news induced delusion.

Folks, they have NOTHING. The people further left than Mamdani almost have more dirt they can use than the right does.

I used to like this guy, but I can’t in good conscience lend my support to someone who would do something like this. What is it that drives a man to move a table twelve feet to the right? Is it lust for power? Greed? Is it just hatred for humanity? Thank god for universities that use tuition dollars to implement this panopticon surveillance, as well as for these publications that aren’t afraid to publish the truth. Otherwise, these crimes may never have come to light.

Do you guys remember Elon musk period? He was the main focus of the entire media six months ago and he’s completely gone now.

Yeah, if they don’t actually own the building and their labor is being exploited by some corporate management company, then they are by every definition a worker whose alienation from the means of production is affecting them just as much as anyone else. Are they working for an evil company? Sure but so are McDonald’s workers and they’re considered exploited laborers.

And support their lives through robust social programs, right?

I mean, it kind of is when they’re being persecuted for something that can apply to already marginalized people in this country instead of being persecuted for being fascist.

Nah, she had her bottom ribs removed so she could do it safely.

On the other hand though, I guess that an optimistic view would be that theres maybe something to be said for the fact that this has driven people who ordinarily would never protest U.S. policy like this to protest.

Whether or not that protesting is effective is another topic but it at least feels like more people are engaged now.

I think the reason these people praise raw milk specifically is because it’s enough to make you sick enough to require serious hospitalization but often not sick enough to die and be unable to pay back your medical debt, so from a healthcare expense perspective, it’s a pretty potent revenue driving tool. Plus you’ll probably get repeat customers.

When you can’t find a way to bring up your hyperfixation organically in conversation so you just start infodumping

Out of curiosity, I went to the main Trump forum to see how they’re talking about this. Here’s what they’re saying:
