Love this movie, gonna have to watch it again tonight
I was legitmately unaware of this, not trying to stir shit:

Sorry, but what is it about Sam Harris that makes you say his overarching worldviews are fascist?
Ive not taken the time to verify any of the information in this post, but lets assume for the moment that good science has been done and these claims are legit. Lets also take consider other similar research that has been done in the arena of plant and animal “awareness”. Are we approaching a point in the scientific community where some level of awareness ahould be assumed for creatures beyond ourselves? It seems that every time we look close enough at a product of nature (fungus, plants, etc) we discover some new element of what we would call “awareness”. Hell, I’ve even seen claims that certain plants can be anesthetized, with drugs that work on humans no less.
Say that we discovered life as we know it on another planet, and what that would do to our perception of “life” throughout the universe. Once could be a fluke, twice could be a coincidence, but given the scale of our universe if we were to find any life, in our own galaxy especially, it would drastically change our perception of the rarity of life.
Now, consider that we have primate relatives who show many of the some properties of awareness that we do, and the pile of other research pointing to varying levels of “awareness” for virtually everything we look at, including creatures such as planta and fungi. How this hasn’t led to a general acceptance that every “living” thing likely has a subjective experience is a bit beyond me, but I also am not a trained scientist, so maybe someone here can shed some light.
Take solace in the fact that you are part of said nature :)
Mars Express - Really enjoyed this one. Like Scavengars Reign and Blade Runner had a baby.
Manjummel Boys - Almost lost me with some corny intro stuff, but it picked up quickly after that and turned out really enjoyable.
Boy Kills World - I read “action movie fever dream” in the description and went for it. Story is a bit flat (it was based on a short film, so whatever) but the fights were pretty awesome, with equally awesome cringe-worthy gore (if you’re into that)
Civil War - I really appreciated the level of ambiguity in the movie, as it forced me to focus on the experience of the people in the story. Ultimately it doesnt really matter who the bad guys are, war is hell.
Oh, I do the same for other things and didnt mean to imply you should do anything differently, everyone has their “line”. I’m just saying maybe you dont have to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The Foo Fighters, particularly Dave Grohl, are some of the more humanitarian artists out there. Dave himself routinely puts on BBQs to feed the homeless. So considering your comment about actions having consequences, they’ve earned a little bit of wiggle room in my eyes.
But regardless, I respect ypur opinion and enjoy your weekend!
Oh, dont get me wrong, most anyone hoarding that much wealth is an asshole by default, but theres a lot worse out there than those guys. Hell, just this year Dave BBQed for 24hrs to feed the homeless, and has done many such events over the years.
Obviously it’s entirely your prerogative what artists to support, but I’m having a hard time understanding how the Fighters of the Foo accepting money from rich douches changes how you feel about them. Now, if they took an Amazon record deal and wrote a bunch of garbage jingles or something, then yeah, id bail on em too. But in this case, I don’t hink theyve done anything they havent done 1000x before; Played on a stage for a few hours, shook some hands, took some photos, and went home with some extra zeroes in their bank account.
What harm are they doing though? They’re being paid to do a private concert, not donating to their super PAC. It goes without saying that lavish spending on executives when people are being laid off is super gross, but at the end of the day I dont think the band did anything worth being chastised for.

The Golden rule in action; the one with the gold makes the rules.
“We need bigger buckets, we’re sinking too fast!”
“So what youre saying is, we need to empty the boat?”
“OBVIOUSLY”
*sparta kicks bailer from the boat
“That should do it, and with the weight we cut, we can drill more holes!”
I hate how long it took me to find the title of the movie, its called “The Substance” for everyone else.
Now if they can just spread that to the rest of Nintendo…
Thanks for sharing the picture, i should have done that 😅
Surprised to see nobody has mentioned Banksy’s “Mother and Anarchist”, this is pretty close to it.
I cant find the clip online, but i seem to remember a scene in ‘Lucy’ where she, while on an airplane, pulls out two laptops and uses them both, one with each hand, to do some tech magic.
