Also social media sequestering people in cozy filter bubbles that distort reality.

Social media, or more precisely, algorithms designed to create ever growing engagement by feeding into confirmation bias and only showing you stuff you like, have destroyed the ability of critical thinking in a majority of people.

This doesn’t only apply to the right spectrum either, as evidenced by all the “hopium” articles here and on r/politics that were trying to construct a blue win or even a blue wave when all polls pointed to a Trump advantage. I had fallen into that trap myself. And everybody was also smugly making fun of the articles in r/conservative predicting the same thing for Trump. Well, turns out they were right.

Cool, now I know how to call my spaceship in the next space game I’m gonna play.

Fair enough.

I call bullshit on that one. Santa is red and white because Coca Cola drabbed him in their colors for a marketing campaign and it catched on. Before that Santa was usually portrayed in white and green.

Doom in the comics is more like movie Thanos than comic Thanos. Comic Thanos is legitimately mad and killed half the universe just to impress Mistress Death (she was not impressed).

He’s basically Stark, Strange and Black Panther rolled into one, with the arrogance of Strange and Stark dialed to eleven.

He’s completely capable of doing very evil shit to reach his goals but also has moral principles. He has tried to kill the Fantastic Four countless times and is still the godfather of the daughter of Reed and Sue. Her first word was “Doom”.

Well, he never says he’s evil but is certainly seen as a villian: Dr. Victor van Doom. He’s actually glimpsed all possible timelines of humanity and only the one where he reigns is not ending in destruction. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4d9668819558c73a8fda43cd4bc0ef0a-lq He is also loved by the people of the country he does rule. And when he had indeed managed to rule the world, it was a time of peace. I mean, mind control peace (he amplified the power of Kilgrave the Purple Man) but still.

If you’re asking yourself why Kilgrave didn’t simply control him, Doom is one of the few people with so much natural willpower that Kilgrave’s powers don’t work on him: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/e8/c8/d5e8c8ee71120993b8616128b08a6a22.jpg

The probably pounced on their prey though when they were sure they would catch them.

There it is, the long lost city of Atlanta!

They are hit-and-miss, but the original Matrix, V for Vendetta, Sense8, Cloud Atlas and Bound are actually good. Assassins, their first filmed script, is also not bad in a 90s action movie way.

Eh, it’s alright for what it is. It’s a sequel that’s mostly enjoyable and entertaining. And feels like classic Burton through and through. Catherine O’Hara and Michael Keaton are also obviously having a lot of fun.

The original script for the Matrix had the machines use human brains for data processing, but the Wachowskis were told by the studio to simplify it.

Oh, didn’t know the one with no color in peripheral vision, that’s fun!

I mean we hear the sound of our blood rushing through the veins of our ears at all times, but our brain filters it out. That the “sound of the ocean” you hear when listening into a conch, it just amplifies the bloodwaves. Other fun stuff our brain does: Our eyes are actually perceiving the world upside down and with a blind spot right in the middle.

NOT THE BEES!!!

And this is why good people who got rich don’t stay rich and people who do are usually selfish assholes. Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, he could have literally built hundreds of amusement parks for disabled people with the same money. Or do literally a thousand other things to make life for other people better. Instead he bought a toxic social media platform to make it even more toxic.

So, once again, the dinosaurs in this franchise continuation called Jurassic World are confined in this one geographical location. I wonder if there’s a word for that, something starting with “P” perhaps.

Also the story sounds like the most generic bullshit ever.

Haven’t read it, but it’s about an apocalyptic scenario where normal people turn into absolute psychopaths. The Asian movie The Sadness has a similar premise.

Fun fact, Christopher Lee dubbed himself in the German version since he spoke fluent German (also French and Italian).

Can it be soundproof as well?

Damn, I can’t wait for Control 2. I loved Alan Wake 2, but Control was even better IMO.
