it’s almost like we’d make better pets than masters.

that’s the question we all have to collectively answer, so i’m asking you now in the hopes that others will see what you say. i don’t want to put words in people’s mouths, i just want them to talk it out.

so what is the most logical step if we are to avoid a global catastrophe?

i can’t tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not but this is godawful moral advice.

“stay comfy and forget about it if you can”

do we or do we not have an obligation to be stewards of the earth? obviously the decision is a personal one. i guess i’ve decided with my post existential thoughts that we do, and that if you don’t agree with me, i don’t want you on my team. or the planet for that matter.

but those that aren’t receptive are literally the problem. american politics has been a 60/40 split with unequal representation for decades. the gears of government are locked in a bitter struggle where not enough is getting done and the problems keep piling up.

what do any of us do when logical, good faith arguments fail and the future of the world depends on convincing idiots that the sky is blue? serious question.

it’s true, but the demand for intelligent meta movies seems low

you know how long it takes to find a decent movie now? forever. the whole industry is beneath me. I gave up and watch ancient mesopotamian docs and otis gibbs.

it takes people to make it profitable

Alrght. I’m leaving a comment here as a reminder to come back to this thread and tell my creepy pasta story.

EDIT: i read the lamp story. it was ok i guess. mine is similar.

well, i guess when everything sucks, you get to be snobby about it. maybe we should try to fix it rather than attack the messenger.

libertarians, rich nerds and crypto bros

like i said, the right.

that’s boomer movies, dufus. i’m solidly gen X, the greatest generation since… the greatest generation.

not my fault your generation bought into the MCU and killed cinema.

i mean, you feel attacked, so of course you respond this way

i think the right needs to be intimidated in general.

obviously, any real revolutionary should be obsessed with concealing their identity at this point if they want to be an effective combatant.

i see a giant target whenever i see one of those things.

like, if bad things started happening to cyber truck owners (who are obviously cowards like most big truck people - obsessed with their own safety), people would shun those things like the plague and musk would get his come uppance.

right now, it’s become the new culture war motif - another stupid thing for stupid people to defend.

because you don’t feed the viewer biases. like good music, it can be interpreted in many ways. let the viewer decide for themselves. if the viewer is too dimwitted to draw their own conclusion, then let them fuck off as dimwits should.

my kind of movie! ye of dimwit status be warned.
