I don't think it's all that slippery a slope. Not many deep sea private submarine rescue operations going on amidst the working class.
Bank of Canada trying desperately to convince everyone that nothing is actually up?
As was said three comments ago, "something something immersion artsy bullshit". In my opinion this stuff isn't a good excuse for making a film that can't be watched.
"Unauthorized Bread" by Cory Doctorow is a short story about this. Great read.
Almost all these smart devices are useless. Just give me a fucking toaster or microwave that doesn't die in six months, there is no world on which being able to connect my microwave or dishwasher to the internet is relevant or helpful to anyone but the data miners.
So. This is the version of reality where I randomly stumble on high quality Jack Aubrey gif memes, is it? Better than a shove in the eye with a dry stick.
God this argument is old and tired. Why don't we just sit down with the fascists, surely if they understand we have feelings that they're hurting, they'll stop threatening us and our families. We just need to be nicer to them!
You people don't know any of the history of the 1930s.
Thank you, I appreciate the honest answer.
I have a non-binary kid. It's not an exaggeration or imagination. People have made death threats against them. They're under twelve years old.
You only think it's exaggerated because you're sheltered from it.
Why don't we put it to a vote?

There. Done. Or it should be, if the objective of the server to be administrated based on votes is honest.
Good. I'm glad you see more people wanting to shut down fascists than you see fascists.
Every dollar we spend making sure kids in poverty and their families have food and shelter and security is going to pay off hundreds of times over in adulthood. It's still a hard sell, politicians tend to operate in the timeframe of "next election".
