Yeah, this was terrible.

It's really the worst thing a movie can be: boring. The script is uninteresting and it feels like it thinks it's very smart and profound yet never actually says anything. Cowardly, centrist dreck.

Are these the same cunts that would cry arse all over twitter/Era if the film dared to say something right leaning that they didn’t like? Then claim the sky is falling?

I've seen the film. You haven't. You can't really have a discussion about what is and isn't in the film an more importantly how it's handled with someone who hasn't actually seen it.

Alex Garland wanted to make a film about war journalists, but not set it in a middle eastern country to avoid the distancing and othering tropes. As the saying goes War is Politics by other means, and the film is following people chronicling this war. It's not politicians sitting in rooms discussing the finer points on bills. It's about people struggling to get water, food, get petrol, travel and live.

Okay, bro, I get it seeing the movie will change how the English language works and suddenly "this movie is not political" and "yes this movie is political!" will mean the exact same thing.

Alex Garland is such a visionary genius he's redefined how words work.

Demonizing the center is the definitive symptom of a hopeless addiction to losing elections. And I've read the phrase "centrist extemist" *repeatedly* on era. Those words can only be formed in a mouth unfamiliar with the back of a hand.

Add in a probably direct in early June for the game reveal season and we're doing pretty good.

Why is the usage of basic functions like opening the door tied to a car's operating system in the first place? A door is little more than a hinge and a securing mechanism. It's a basic physical system. We've had doors for thousands of years.

Hazel, being a tree, has a lot of advantages over non-trees due to multiple limbs able to hold and access all the buttons on the Nintendo Switch Controller.

However it/its lack of a central nervous system can be a disadvantage in competitive gaming, which I think we can all agree is very unfair. Maybe someone should do a study on it?

I am under no illusion that scientific evidence will be much good against a position that always primarily rooted in bigotry, but the more we know about this topic, and the more hard evidence there is, the easier it will be to clearly mark such behaviour as the bigoted bullshit that it is.

I have it out for pathetic centrist dipshits like Alex Garland who think "both sides are the same" and we "need to stop being so polarized"

Your view of what the movie is saying is irrelevant, because Garland has made it quite clear in his numerous interviews it's a pathetic centrist riding the fence movie too cowardly to say anything or relevance.

You want to know why "the fascist" president in Civil War would come to power? People like Alex Garland.

Is this guy aware that he posts on a forum that's increasingly agitating against Genocide Joe and accusing him of deliberately doing a heckin genocide? Or does that "both sides are the same" not count because it's not "centrist"? Even though that same forum spends tons of time saying "we need to stop being so polarized" by the algorithms so we can shut down everything that disagrees with us.

The irony of that bitching is that they're using a critique of extremism to defend a centrist politics in the Democratic Party. Who will never differ too much from the Republicans in practice rather than rhetoric because they operate in a two-party system. If you're really angry that he's critique your correct extreme position then you would naturally think "both sides" in American politics are the same because they are relative to your position. So the person is imaging some kind of fantasy where the Democratic Party is for the dictatorship of the proletariat or something then getting angry on behalf of that fictional Democratic Party because they're imaging people rejecting it. Even though you can be against that extreme because you find it no different from the supposed "opposite" totalitarian extreme, like myself, while never being within the "centrist" position in American politics.

In other words, that tweet about imagining a person and getting mad about them.

[Polident]

Keep returning to the Bioshock Infinite reaction from ten years ago. Where the game portrays the “freedom fighter” lady as being a violent lunatic for her revolution. Bunch of people who’ve never read a non-fiction book, or book without drawings, whining about how oppressed becoming oppressors never ever happens and leftist regimes are like super peaceful. And a later DLC capitulated by saying she was forced to be evil by the twins. Again, ten years ago. It’s only gotten worse. Anything short of propaganda is too centrist.

Yet here you are with a visceral enough response to the film to post often about it. I think the film was a success in what it set out to do.

My visceral reaction is to Alex Garland's interviews, not the film thanks.

So derailing the thread?

[kaleidoscopium]

It's shocking how many people in this thread just believe the headline because "Tesla." Do you really think this story is even remotely true?

I've had my Model 3 for almost 6 years and every single person who got into it for the first time used the manual release instead of the electronic button. And of course it's been fine.

Also, the vast majority of people perform the software update remotely from the app while plugged in at home because it requires you to be on WiFi. It's not trying to get you to update when you're driving down the road. You can also set it to update at certain times. Plus when it starts, it has a 2-minute countdown with ample warning time and the ability to delay it.

Do better, Era

If I'm buying a car and it may need updates for anything more than like the…radio…I ain't buying that fucking car.

Teslas, at the moment, are the merging of automobiles and the enshittification of the internet. Either build the thing fucking correctly (recalls, etc., notwithstanding), or don't fucking sell them.

Applequest and Duckworld were the main fake games that stuck out to me because they were like mini-created worlds which was so appealing. I'd kind of love to make a fake RPG design document as a winter project. Unsure what it would be though.
A lot of the more existentialist themes he touched on also spoke to me a lot, or at least to a headspace I was in pre-transition. I really hope he can work out whatever it is he's going through

There are plenty of things to criticize Tesla over (Elon, the cyber truck, removing turn signal stalks, the stupid new steering wheel), the fact that so many on this forum is critical over them giving FREE new features over the air which is incredibly pro-consumer is just nuts to me. It shows how much outrage rather than logic can fuel this place.
