> please someone give me a job where I can work 12 hours a day - but the rest of the 12 hours I don't need to think about what will happen tomorrow

Why do you dream about working 12h a day when 8h is pretty standard.

I dunno. Maybe the value is in the data siphon from gullible companies trusting Hex with their data.

The move to 3d sim games was such a mistake for the industry. Pixelart was way better at the time. It took like 15 year to make it look good again and that with cartoony cell shading anyway.

> but this ain't exactly Mickey Mouse. Even Mickey Mouse is out of steam by now.

Hasn't Mickey Mouse been out of steam since the 50s? He is a normal guy and you need to base any short about someone else to make it interesting. Like the squirrels or Donald Duck...

If I remember correctly Stan realized that the old things he liked were shit in that episode. Anti-nostalgia. OP describes the opposite.

No way. It is not sampling bias. Big budget movies have gotten worse script wise compared to the 90s and 00s.

The scene workers have gotten better though. And there are a lot of good movies being made still, but not by the mainstream industry that used to really deliver.

The petite bourgeois is nothing but labour in the eyes of the capital class.

Which they (probably?) should otherwise they will overtreat their patients for false positives.

You seem to imply current day Disney has some sort of ownership over prior art.

"Handwaving opportunity". I think you hit the nail there. I will steal that. The opportunity to label critique as treason also make corruption and bad policy in general go rampant. I think that is the strongest factor.

I don't know how people can have such a romantic view. Like read some fictional books on the matter. All quiet on the Western front or Catch 22.

Back cutting and corruption goes rampant and the worst kind of people profiteer while losers are slaughtered.

The gamified precurment system is just neoliberalism taken to the extreme. I mean Goodhart's Law is a warning not a guide.

When the dust settles I think the precurment system will be seen as detrimental. Military power structures need to be boring such that it doesn't eat it self.

Yeah except the web browser and mail client I wish the default would be no open sockets for you ever.

Unless it is a distribution policy to respect privacy by default it is just to much work to keep up with all the leaks the system might have.

How about just handing out plates over the counter to the customers. But then again McDonalds have table service now so what do I know.

Your dream requires only you to have that power though.
