Which is exactly why I mentioned having only the shitty corpo netanats and none of the rest of the stuff we might call cool but is just an extension of living in a technodystopic world of wild disparity.

Sometimes. Worth it? IDK. I kinda think Oreos suck nowadays anyway. Can’t remember when I last had one.

That’s cyberpunk as a niche hobby, not a cultural norm. We’re nowhere near Night City, Blade Runner or even Ready Player One.

Yeah, the shit is pretty cool, but it isn’t cyberpunk as an inescapable culture.

And none of the cyberpunk. Just the shitty corpos controlling everything.

Rich people will probably have exceptions to the rule.

Oh? Wonder which Russian company is going to launder a bunch of that money back to trump.

Reminds me of this bit by Eddie Izzard except replace flags with churches.

Dis mine now.

Context, as usual, is everything.

.World user here. Leftist, but not Hexbear leftist.

They never make AI to manage themselves, just to fleece the peasantry further.

This would seem to be the better route. Unless the owner has reported the vehicle stolen, they certainly know who is driving it and should still be responsible for letting the other person drive. Sorry, snitch them out if you don’t like thousands in fines. Deliberately using “you can’t prove it was me” while racking up fines with the expectation of getting away with it has to have some limits.

This is entertainment, not a documentary. As you pointed out, it’s featuring a family member and approved by the estate.

It’s going to 100% be propaganda and completely cover up or minimize any wrongdoing on MJ’s part.

Personally I will not see it.

Eh, the core goes and you’ve got no worries anymore, so might as well look at the flowers.

They do this stuff. Awarding best SFX to the FX shop lead manager who probably did none of the actual work and only did managerial tasks gets handed the award while the individuals get nothing. Ortiz, as far as I can tell, is the lead puppeteer, so that would track. Except in this case he was doing actual on-screen work.

I’ll check it out. Thanks.

Nope

Add this one

I’m not sure if I should feel ashamed for understanding this without the translation.

Also, for anyone wanting an indirect education on this language, go listen to the Behind the Bastards podcast on Clavicular, it does a great job explaining the infiltration of incel language (which is mostly what the meme is) into the lexicon and talking about Clavicular.

Worth a listen, not because we need to understand the words, but because we get to understand where they came from and the toxicity of incel groups.

Might be true for non-union gigs, but from my experience in union shops nobody cares because everyone can see what the pay rates are. Same with retirement plans.
