I always feel bummed when I find cash on the street that somebody dropped. If I can't find the person who lost it, I donate it to charity. Some clumsy ass mfer from my city just accidentally donated ten bucks to the people of Palestine

Do you live there? What are the vibes like?

I quit smoking around 6 years ago, worst mistake of my life

Goddammit now I have to read up on Slovakian politics to find out if the assassination attempt was based or cringe

There is too much stuff. Too many books, movies, albums, games and TV shows that I want to check out.

I propose humanity should collectively take a break for a year without creating new stuff so that I can catch up on everything. No more news or history while we're at it. Everybody just take the grillpill for one year.

On the one hand I understand him because he wanted to make a movie that's removed from the current culture war bullshit. But on the other hand you obviously can't make an apolitical movie about a civil war. He tried to make that and that's why the movie doesn't have anything meaningful to say.

Btw the political spectrum is so far to the right that when somebody says they are "centre-left", they are essentially saying that they are slightly to the left of Hitler.

Either that or they are a huge fan of the centre-left podcast The Adam Friedland Show

This movie has a misleading name since it is essentially about war reporters. But the name Reporters has a much lower marketing potential than Civil War.

If you're making a movie about reporters, the most important question to ask is - what is the point of reporting in capitalism? This movie doesn't even ask this question.

The blackpilled answer is that there is no point. The people in power don't need the reporting because they are the ones doing the horrible shit. The people who are not in power don't need the reporting because they can't do anything about it. It's possible to come up with a more hopeful answer to this question but hope is hard to come by in 2024

I watched Civil War recently. It doesn't answer any questions, like "how did we get here" and "what can we do to prevent this". Which is okay because movies don't have to answer questions but they at least have to ask some questions and this movie doesn't even do that, which is wild.

This movie has nothing to say except "reporters are important." Which is such a basic ass message that doesn't even have to be said since everybody can agree with that.

Reporters are important because of the valuable insight from the front lines that they give us. But what's even more important is the action that we do as a result of this insight. If reporters are documenting someone's misery but nothing gets done to stop it, then they are just making misery porn for our entertainment. That's a far more important point and this movie doesn't have anything to say about that.

Overall I'd rate this 6.5 out of 10 popcorn bags, shout out to Portland Maoists

Who said that this is the message of Dune? I just said that there are rebels who are fighting against the empire. And by rebels I mean the Fremen.

It's not depression and it's definitely not "too many choices." I enjoy gaming and having too many good games is a great problem to have.

This is clearly a systemic issue, since this sentiment has been often repeated, including in this thread. The issue is that people don't have enough energy and time to enjoy their hobbies because wage slavery is sucking the life out of everyone.
