  • Hard disagree.

    2 had some pacing issues, but all 3 are amazing works of science fiction, the last 2 suffering from understandably not being able to top the first movie’s reveal of “Your entire existence was a lie.” 2 and 3 expand on the lore while visually presenting deep philosophical concepts, but as studios have learned, trying to appeal to the widest audience means not challenging your audience.

    They have since gone so far with that lesson, it has lead to stuff like the new Star Wars trilogy, a plotless trainwreck of endless appeals to nostalgia so blatant I’m surprised they didn’t have force ghost yoda turn to the camera and smile impishly like austin powers.




  • For most, hopefully it isn’t about bad aim.

    There is a moment, immediately at the commencement of piss, where the stream may or may not flow predictably. Usually this is after sleep or sex, but can happen at any time. This can mean the stream veers hard left/right until correcting, this can mean literally 2 separate streams.

    The pressure corrects this potential issue for me at least within 2 seconds or so, but damage done.





  • Always remember what comes first in any national emergency. Whats the first thing our leaders always make clear when the chips are down?

    "We will do everything necessary to protect our beloved nation society struggling citizens ECONOMY."

    People don’t matter here, only capital. If you are attached to meaningful capital, you will want for nothing and live in embarrassing decadence that would make pharoahs blush, if you aren’t attached to meaningful capital, you are livestock for those that are. You are less than human in the eyes of the capital hoarders in charge.

    Those are our American Values in practice.




  • “You don’t need a formal conspiracy when interests converge. These people went to the same universities, they’re on the same boards of directors, they’re in the same country clubs. They have like interests, they don’t need to call a meeting. They know what’s good for them.”

    -George Carlin, from an episode of Politically Incorrect

    There are powerful classes of people that oppress you, but not because they go to secret meetings where they plan to, power/capital simply tends to corrupt.

    And from our perspective it feels coordinated because the capitalist’s punches all come from the same direction: downward from above.

    The truth is, they’ve bled us dry and have begun to turn on and eat one another having conquered the board with little room left to grow/metastasize. That’s why entire economic sectors are turning into TimeWarnerHBODiscoveryParamountSoonEtc…

    If your company celebrates good profits, but doesn’t volunteer raises that reflect that, you shouldn’t have to beg if you were part of the machine that made that profit, that should tell you all you need to know.

    The fact that just doesn’t happen unless you’re in the strangest of American Workplaces demonstrates where you sit in their universe. A disposable liability. The cost of doing business. You make them multiple times more money than they pay you, and they resent and nickel and dime even what little they have to remit back to you for you to not just walk out solely so the assholes at the top can live larger than they need to. In a sad, sociopathic society where working means life and not working means being tossed into an alley to die, that means your life means absolutely nothing to them, just in case the suicide nets outside the factories where they hire third world slaves to save a dollar didn’t clue you in.
