Sure, fuck it, that's communism. Death to communism, instead we must create a classless stateless society!

So it turns out laws can only ever hurt the weak and protect the powerful. The system is literally incapable of being on your side.

Physical goods aren't here for nostalgia, they're here for media that can't be remotely recalled the moment the corpos decide for whatever reason you can't own it anymore.

Its very important in the legal space. On the high seas, a HDD thumb drive or archival mdisc/tape drive are the same.

You assume capitalism is about money. Money is the means. It's becoming obsolete.

Its about control. Its about power. The lines of corporations, where they begin and end, are fake even on their own terms-the ownership structures are all a hapsburgian mesh of hedge funds and recursive investments.

Buy you can look at the actual power, who can make what happen, who has agency to do what. What they use it for. Fucking analyze this shit. How their rhetoric and aesthetics and means change.

Money worked because its faith in self interest and the democrayicish government. They can refine that. They have a version they like more now. They go to the faith directly, cut out the self, the interest. Yay, technology.

Mostly unrelated: The NSA had snitch chips mandated by at least the 90s, getting them out was a big push, I'm not sure if there was a gap where clean hardware was produced. They're always trying.

Yes, they're a company.

I'm not sure you understand what this can mean.

use their ai to

Is this a joke, or are you?

You're vanned for cheering for the morally complicated heroes over the ridiculous cartoon villains? Even in their least collateral damagey bullshit?

To be fair they do seem to think it would really catch pedophiles; why else would they exclude themselves?

No, the games are also worse.

I checked IMDb. He wasn't cast as Achilles. Snowflakes are just mad trans people exist, and this one can act.

Yes.

You don't understand! There must always be pedophile warlords, it's a fundamental law of reality! Do you want to have no say in which pedophile warlord heads the empire? Really?

Okay but they weren't communist about it, so it doesnt count. Stop whining Ireland.

Wait what? I don't understand. How does this fuck us?

There's some way this fucks us that I'm not seeing.

Corpos aren't human in any way that matters.

No,that was portable generator trucks that were not 'installed'. This is new.

Cringe must of course be eradicated by the state.

With no regard to how big stuff is/was, because OP hadn't seen Chernobyl.

'Chernobyl' is up there. Brutal indictment of a hypercorrupt dying empire that only cares about power and is built almost entirely on lies contrasted with the people it happens to, who largely embody the ideals their government lies about; the heroism of a dead culture striving to save everyone from some of the fuckers who killed it.

'Andor' star wars, but about antifascism instead of wuxia bullshit or daddy issues. Some of the best TV ever made. Weaves in links to history and obscure star wars apocrypha. It's everything it should be and more with amazing layered deliberate fast-slow-fast pacing. There's a long-payoff joke that is also the serious culmination of the first season's meta-arc (the first season of that show would be about five seasons of anything else) and half the fans didn't even notice.

'Severance' or the ~decade earlier whedon-directed much more sex focused show it was linked to, 'dollhouse' if you need fast pace or a slightly more dramatic version of what the internet is now. Low-scifi corpo-surrealism about the ways we treat identity. The two versions come to very different conclusions.

'Scavengers' reign' beautiful uncanny man-vs-nature space narrative, haunting sound track, amazing in every way that matters.

'Westworld' only season 1. Its About Things. No not just the robots. They left some plot threads unresolved for season 2, but they're not really what's important and each season is exponentially worse, riding the first season's nonstop hitting. Season 2 is still okay I guess.

'daredevil' Netflix version, season 1 only. There's more but its not the same quality. Gritty superhero and heroic legal drama filling in each others gaps.

'Cowboy bebop' everybody's favorite film noir space (neo?)western. Dripping with cool. Remade a few years later in a historically accurate Japan right after the consolidation of the Tokugawa dynasty with arguably 10% less style and 30% tighter production.

'Kaos' though it was left extremely unfinished. High budget modern Greek mythology soup. As gay and misothiest as you would expect if you had actually read any.

'Peacemaker' murder-himbo realizes he might be one of the bad guys while trying to save the world with/from the CIA immediately post-'the suicide squad'.

'Harley Quinn' batman villain fucks around, continues fucking around, occasionally finds out. But lesbianly, sharp unhinged comedy.

'Futurama' fox seasons/original run only. Occasionally heart wrenching SciFi comedy that's not trying to be as edgy as 'rick and Morty' later would. Definitely aged, but smart enough it's aged gracefully.

'True detective' season 1 only. The rest are fine, I guess. Southern Gothic neo-noir ambiguously fantasy.

'Star trek: deep space nine' a space station on the edge of falgsc utopia orbiting space-palestine as the toned down space zios do space-zio things. 90s in all the best ways and very few of the worst.

Or the more woo-scifi version which aired I think simultaneously, 'Babylon 5'.

'Community' very few comedy shows age this well. Just a ridiculously solid sitcom.

'Lovecraft country' endritch horror and american racism standing in frame next to each other, while the arc and the anthology flirt over a meal of 'how to love SciFi as a marginalized person?'. The most beautiful wholesome profound bed covered in gore you've ever watched coincidentally 'is this gay, and if so what kind?' sex on.

I'll add more later, and there are more certain people need to see but others don't necessarily.

So there was this anime called 'fullmetal alchemist'.

The first scene is the then pre-teen main characters, two orphaned brothers, dismembered and splattered around the room after defying the laws of man and god in an attempt to resurrect their mother with illegal magic (the illegal impossible magic of the settings chemistry wizards is just organic chemistry. Organic chemistry is illegal and maybe cursed or ontologically evil or something) that went horribly wrong. It then cuts to a couple years later where the protagonist (now 14, and only diagetically glossing over the 'child soldier' of it all, as the absolute ruler of their vaguely Germanic central European military dictatorship is kind of a fatherly figure) with half his limbs prosthetic and his younger brother, a disembodied spirit bound to an old suit of armor, are working as military wizard-engineer maybe-counterintelligence are dismantling a cult in a city the state did some atrocities to a while back(also not glossed over. Lots of orphans, the local lady their dealing with us trauma-mute), and being kind of unnecessarily shitty about it. the audience finds out its part of a bigger conspiracy, and by the end of the episode a shapeshifter comes into town and replaces the cult leader they had exposed as a fraud and killed (claiming he was an imposter) the moment our heroes* leave.

This guy is from the episode where it becomes clear that the general tone of the show might be a little darker than previously suspected.

Don't worry, they'll be on shift tomorrow. They'll get her.
