Utopian sci fi is popular in literature, but rarely in movies or shows. We'll get a series about the Culture one of these days though. Special Circumstances can get up to things that puts turning into a lizard and raising babies with your captain to shame.

Edit: I also think some more of Kim Stanley Robinson's books will get turned into series someday. They're generally about the progress to a Utopia. Years of Rice and Salt is particularly interesting because it tracks that progress all the way from the dark ages to a Utopia while the characters keep reincarnating and making the same exact mistakes over and over.

Funnily enough, you'd need to drink some pretty strong bleach for it too cause anything more than an upset stomach. Bleach isn't that harmful.

WHAT? 9000?!?! There's no way that can be right.

Most of it sounded like a love poem to themselves. I was terribly unimpressed.

This is dumb. Of course long form media is more nuanced and informative than short form. That's independent of the form of actual media however. If you think you're going to be more informed by reading my comment than you would be if I made a 20 minute video reply referencing underlying themes, you're delusional.

Tiktok isn't a replacement for essays, but it's not less informative than Twitter.

They're using it based on the ethnic majority vs minority, and it's pretty obvious. And yes, there is an ethnic majority to counterbalance an ethnic minority. They're talking about people who are german citizens but aren't german ethnics.

Don't worry friend, humans are more than capable of copy and pasting answers at each other. Instead of kids playing house, we just play asshole on the internet.

We keep trying to tell downpunxx that we're the only one who sees his shit, but he never listens.
Edit:
As so

I'm a bad fiat actor myself. Nobody believes in my authority. Really though, this is always the same story. "They're all trolls and moderation should be stricter. Also stop using moderation actions against me." Yeah sure boss.

since they can pin that on a rouge actor, the Nazi’s

This is a take I don't agree with. There's absolutely elements of that, but they seem to also be very hostile to anyone that doesn't accept it as a "national guilt" that everyone's responsible for (including their Muslim immigrant population).

The right can then use this as a sort of concrete national character to persecute immigrants (thus the CDU support) while the left can use it as a rallying cry that they're fighting fascism (SDP support). It really is a perfect storm for awfulness.

Still the most uncomfortable looking outfit to me. More pressure points than a bra and no support. Take it off and she'd just have two big red triangles on her chest.

I honestly don't see what a federal court can do about rogue state courts. It's usually up to the state legislature to fix that unless it's actual insurrection. And since this is Alabama, that's not going to happen.
