Sony tried to market the PS3 as a multimedia entertainment hub - in hindsight it was an idea ahead of its time, since that's what basically all Smart TVs are now - but the $700 price tag made it unattainable during the critical first year of sales.
it also launched with "install other OS" as a feature, which they removed later via an update.
The original X-Men trilogy was pretty good slop. It was before all of the personality had been sandblasted off of superhero films and you could cold open with a scene at a Nazi concentration camp.
The first X-Men movie literally starts with a scene of Magneto being separated from his parents at Dachau, which in hindsight makes his willingness to violently resist the fascist rumblings of the US government in that film completely justified and turns the X-men into the fucking Freikorps.
Professor X killed Rosa.
I was really hoping we would just... not post this one.
because she voted for JILL FUCKING STEIN

:sicko-yes: me rooting for the advertising bubble to pop and take down all of the largest tech companies with it
:sicko-no: me realizing that the company that will best survive that burst and then expand to fill the power vacuum is Amazon
Me when Supes tells the American super soldier that he's being manipulated by Capitalism and he can still be saved :sicko-yes:
Me when Supes takes over the party and becomes Gorbachev :sicko-no:
:strangelove-wow:
I've never considered moving to Bakersfield before, but :soviet-hmm:
I think it's the "individually tragic scale" that really activates my empathy. On a conceptual level of course shit like napalm bombing Vietnam or blowing up important water infrastructure in Iraq is much worse, but the story of a kid's parents signing him up to get a black bag thrown over his head and driven across country to be physically and emotionally abused for years feels like something that could have happened to me if things had turned out slightly different.
Learning about the Elan School is a legitimate cognito hazard. Every time I think about it and get doomer about it all over again.
Yeah I've heard about that, for certain applications they were a super cheap super computer. That's why I wish the official other OS support had been maintained - after it got dropped, support for it stopped getting worked on by the Linux community, imagine the wacky things they would have been able to do with it if support had never been dropped.
