There is a Brazilian Rock Band with a great song named "Santa Claus son of a bitch" (or maybe motherfucker) here is the Google translate (with light editing) of the first couple verses:
Santa Claus motherfucker
Reject the wretched
I want to kill him!
That capitalist pig
Give gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor
Give gifts to the rich
And spits on the poor
You mean the fruit and the nut. The fruit I think is fake fruit but you know what I mean
It is sad that so much of technological advancement is not freeing people from labor has the opposite effect, making people fight to pay rent and necessities everyday and never having free time to live. There is so much to like in these new Ai technologies but they being wielded by capitalists to extract a little more money. I highly doubt that visual arts is a big expensive in movies and films since usually half the budget is marketing and another big chuck to secure big stars to the project.
In any case everyone already lost and the Internet is a little bit worst. Reading about this class actions I think no good will come out of it, or the draconian copyright laws will be even worst and small artists will already have lost to the prior models using their content or a "fair use" exception will be made but only for big companies AI and not help small artists and content creators that battle with DMCA abuse taking down fair use vídeos from YouTube and content from over the net anyway.
This question reminded me of 27b/6, a website with a collections of essays and email exchanges from the author that are like humourous, satirical and based on his life. I had a lot of fun reading them years ago and I remember that it was dormant for a while but coming back it seems to have new material.
I have this rule: The quality of an anime is inverse of the number of episodes it has.
Of course it is not always true but It is a good rule of thumb. Without knowing what you like, read some sinopses of the classics and see if any sparkle your interest.
You are already in a good track with movies, you can watch Akira or the first Ghost in the Shell for some good action sci-fi.
I personally didn't watch yet, so is not quite a recommendation but any Satoshi Kon movie is always very well received, like Perfect Blue.
There is some anthology movies, each with 3-4 short stories, that seems to be quite Good. I watched and liked alot Memories, and heard about Neo Tokio and Robot Carnival. All of them have one section done by Katsuhiro Ótimo, the author of Akira.
You can look up some OVA that are 1 to 6 EPS long like Read or Die, Bastard (the original one) and Blood: The last Vampire (the original one)
Some TV series that are 13 to 26 episodes long I really liked is Samurai Champloo. I also like the Netflix's Castlevania (the first one) and I cannot vouch for it because I didn't finish yet but Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was pretty good.
The next two are quite controversial but I think quite good are Kite and Mezzo Forte, both are 1 or 2 ep OVA. They are controversial because they are a mix of action anime and some hardcore hentai, but there are some cuts without the sex stuff (that is also completely unnecessary if I remember correctly). The action scenes are really good.
I mean. There is the woman who said god told her to sleep with the homeless guy
Some WM has chained-shortcuts or chorded key bonds, but it is more probably a shortcut of the style "go next workspace" and you can have as many as you want.
I also have a C2 that I use with a PC and It does not have a single DP port.
And the funny thing is that that intro is not that good, very generic, but the music is awesome and make the shots way better than they are.
I believe the reason for that high rating is a form of selection bias maybe? Like if you go to IMDb you will see that live performances have a very high rating and I think is that you only gonna watch and rate if you are already fan of the band. In this case normal people are not gonna buy and read this book, only people who already agree with this nonsense.
Someone said on the internet that the best music to test sound systems is one that you are very familiar with. I think it makes sense.
Back in the day I used to follow this site for entertainment news, but now mostly from YouTube. O like to watch a lot of trailers so there is always a lot on my feed. I also like vídeo lists like "Top sci-fi movies from the 90s" . Cinefix is a really good channel with that type of content.
Maybe this is not a message for people who vote D, after all what you gonna do, vote for the R lunatics?. Maybe it is for moderate republicans, specially women, that got fucked and now may be looking for an alternative, so Biden spelling it out may give enough incentive for some to vote D.
Probably because it is worst than any dedicated IM service like whatsapp, telegram, etc
