A combination of citations that are either useless for demonstrating anything (see reference 25) or hinge on the western pop-politics conspiracy that there is a genocide of the people of Xinjiang (21, 26, 30), looking in the intro.

Wikipedia isn’t a valid source. Didn’t your teachers tell you that in 9th grade?

Burden of proof is on your for that one, bud

Tangentially, “lying is authritarian” doesn’t give me much hope for the rest of your critique you may offer.

It’s a well-sourced article, get over yourself

Fuck Bill Gates apologists in particular

That there were Congressmen, SC Justices, and former Presidents that didn’t belong in prison

Everything is illegal in the DPRK except if you are the current Supreme Leader, in which case everything is legal.

Is brightness ever measured in tons?

A lot of people question it and just go “this is well enough for me”. I’ve wondered about it plenty butI think for my (completely personal) purposes it would be hair-splitting at best to object to being called a guy because my body is my body and society is organized in a gender binary. I despise the social construction of gender, but I also dislike the English language and yet here I am using it to participate in society in a relatively frictionless way, and for me personally it’s kind of the same thing.

I can totally see finding it weird as a nonbinary person how people can feel fine as a binary gender, cis or trans.

That looks like sea creatures mating

I don’t usually recommend this channel, but Mother’s Basement has a really excellent video that discusses Neverending Story near the end (he spends most of it talking about DBZ).

It seems almost like a horror twist, discovering that the movie is basically embodying the antagonistic force in the book.

I agree on the basis that classics are defined by reception and not if they are any good or not, like how Birth of a Nation was for a while considered basically the best movie ever.

Were the zombies not killing any human in sight in the book?

It’s weird because Roschach still comes across as a disturbed weirdo, but he definitely ends up being turned into a more murderous version of the fascist interpretation of Batman.

I think the book was written to be satire and the movie is, uh, comedic but in a much less pointed way

Not a book and not a movie, but that Cabinet of Curiosities series adapted a couple of HP Lovecraft stories and it was fucking terrible. There were a couple of beats that were interesting, but generally it was very faithless and the changes were for the worse. There were some excellent episodes otherwise, but I can’t help but feel that they are just butcherings of much better stories that I haven’t read.

Politically, it’s way less bad than you’d expect, I’d recommend watching it. One of the best episodes had – to someone as brainrotted as me – an incredible hybridization of classic horror and battle anime logic. That one was probably my favorite one, though there was one where the protagonist looks just like the Disco Elysium guy and kind of acts like him too, and it was fun.

P.S. did you know that there are movie adaptations of Ayn Rand’s drivel? If you are masochistic, they might be fun to watch

No, because that might be an incentive to buy it. Being a pirate is probably more fun anyway, though.

An upward trend is an upward trend

Then it goes from “waste of money” to “actively bad”. God knows the last thing the US needs are new technologies with “military applications”
