It’s just tech illiterate being “oh no my image program not open this 10 year old new format”

Yet another confirmation that conservatism is a mental disorder.

Is that the guy that got some drug induced retardation?

Yeah but he can probably get a lot. His entire brand has been destroyed by the government, this is some China-level shit. Bet he could get 300M easily.

They didn’t expect people cancelling? Oh boy then Disney has much bigger problems than this.

China is definitely not new.

Yes, this falacy is my biggest pet peeve “all sides are bad and resistance is moot”.

We get better gradually not through some silver bullet policy. Call out all mistakes, be it US, China, Russia etc. - we absolutely have the power here to resist all injustice and nothing should be justified.

Nah killfeeds are basically dead these days. Modern games are so information dense that many don’t even ship the feed and if they do most people don’t even notice it. That’s definitely not why someone would meme as Donald Trump.

It’s just rage bait and I agree with OP that no left/liberal person would cosplay Donald Trump because why would you rage bait your own side? It’s like an Ukrainian puting Putin avatar on - it makes no sense other than brain damage.

Yup I’m a daily internet user since the 90s and I grew up in Soviet Empire and it’s so obvious how gamed the internet is today. I love internet and would never trade it for China’s intranet or similar but the world needs to wisen the fuck up and treat this trolling like any other weapon. Just because its information and not physical gas or nuclear bombs doesnt mean it’s not damaging.

The problem here is the hubris of everyone involved “they run information campaign against us well ours will be better!” It’s fundamentally idiotic way of approaching mass information the same way governments approach geopolitical information as in “tit for tat, if you leak our shit well leak yours etc” when this doesn’t work at the scale of the web.

There will be a day where the camels back will be broken but I’m afraid it’ll be too late and we all end up either in a war or isolated, dystopia networks like China or Russia.

Ugh americans with their “but its both sides” is exactly why you guys are so fucked rn.

What year are you from?

Americans really underestimate how much China and Russia are contributing to US decline. They have full information control in their countries and they see information freedom as weakness. These countries literally have professional trolls that go to office 9-5 just to disrupt the internet. These aren’t just few hundred bots - it’s millions of professional provacoteurs and liars.

You know that people can care about more than one thing simultaneously. Crazy I know.

Never but I say “this is why I don’t party for 24+ hours”. A good party or event shouldn’t overstay its welcome as experience quickly declines once everyone tires out and start making mistakes and get into intoxicated/tired arguments.

“There’s only 1 issue in the entire world and it’s mine!” Grow up

Having twelve fingers isn’t what makes you good at playing the piano.

The movie literally says that the piece cannot be played without 12 fingers.

The plan to colonize Titan is, at its root, a eugenics fantasy.

the movie doesn’t say anything about “colonizing titan”, in fact the mission doesn’t even state what’s the purpose other than to get to titan which has never been done before - it symbolizes ultimate frontier that in the eyes of eugenicists would require a perfect human to be achieved and yet the guy that ends up outcompeting everyone is a not genetically modified and achieves this through sheer skill and determination.

There’s an underlying question in the story that amounts to “if you’ve made Earth such a great place, why is everyone trying to leave?”

You’re misinterpreting the ending. Vincent always felt rejected by the world for being a natural but ends up feeling bittersweet for leaving as he found Irene and Jerome who proved to him that earth is very much capable of loving him. Not “everyone is trying to leave earth”, just Vincent really and even then he heavily diminishes his desire.

I love Gattaca and really don’t understand your beef with it. It’s a beautiful story but awfully insightful too that aged perfectly even to this day! In fact, I’ll watch it again tonight :)

omg take your defeatist whiny attitude to your anime pillow.

Good thing Obama is not a pussy then

Because a big name can actually rally resistance

What? The issue is that government is directly silencing someone by employing threats through FCC not that it’s Jimmy Kimmel
