I loved The Road, but it is not a dystopian novel. It is a post-apocalyptic novel. It's like they grabbed the 4 best known dystopian books then struggled to find a 5th and just went "fuck it."

Because it costs less. Treating animals like they do/did/want to requires less labor and less overhead costs so higher profits.

Once, in the middle of the day when it was bright and shiny, I pulled into a lot. I realized it wasn't attached to the place I wanted to go, so decided to go through the lot and head out another entrance. Except the two lots weren't connected. In fact the lot I was in was raised about a foot higher than the other lot. My tires stopped right on the very edge. Again, this was in the middle of the day with the sun shining. And it was obvious as fuck, as well.

You think you would notice, but the fact is your brain pulls crap like this on you all the time. Right now you can't see the holes in your vision caused by your optic nerves. And it isn't that your visual cortex is merely taking data from one eye to cover a deficiency in another. Close one eye and the hole is still not visible. The visual cortex and the systems it is connected to let you see what they want you to see. I am not asking how could he not notice, but rather, what was his brain doing to make him not realize. Because even in pitch black, with headlights it would still be visible that there is no bridge.

There is a section of road in my town that I'm guessing was suppose to have a bridge over the local river, but it never happened. The road leads right up to the river bank. In the 30 years I've lived here, there has always been a road block and warning. When a flood wiped out the warning and road block in 2015, they put a new one up. This is 100% the fault of whatever governmental entity is supposed to take care of stuff like that. Whether he was using Google Maps or a Rand-McNally road map is irrelevant because the first line of defense for having kept this from happening is on the local government.

Jesus. This is just a circus of incompetence. Doesn't matter who is footing the bill. If you push the bill on the distributor/install service it means those streams will be less likely to embrace indie devs and especially new indie devs without a hit under their belt. So same chilling result.

I think so, but burlap chafes me so.

Letting that systemic racism shine right through there, huh?

What? Would you rather Mexican and lazy traitorous Democrat sex traffickers take jobs from hard working patriotic American Republican sex traffickers?

Christ. I wrote that as satire but reading it and rereading it, I can't help but feel it sounds just like something they'd unironically say....

They aren't intended to stand up in court. They are performative legislation intended to show their constituents they're doing something but those dastardly activist libbrul judges keep legislating from the bench!

Not since Nic Cage stole it.

Despite a handful of great visuals in the teaser it overall felt incredibly generic. There wasn't anything in it that felt compelling to me, nothing that grabbed me. Hearing that he was originally going to try to have it be Seven Samurai in the Star Wars universe can't help but give me Battle Beyond The Stars vibes.
