I don’t think it’s their brand of feminism either.

A lot of my issues with celebrity Scientologists is that they seem delusional compared to other religious celebrities. Like when evidence came about about the Roman Catholic Church we didn’t hear Stephen Colbert act like these allegations are ludicrous. It is perfectly possible that the Church of Scientology is a safe…

“Come in and learn more about it” has been their stock answer for literally decades. What it really means is: buy books or services (possibly after taking a personality test).

Yeah I’m not keen on this ‘How can we possibly comprehend the enigma that is Elizabeth Holmes?’ tack that this show–and a lot of non-Carreyrou Holmes media–seems to take. She was a lazy grifter after a big score. A tale old as time. I don’t understand why people have a hard time with this.  

Watching this show gave me the same sense of malaise that I got watching ‘Dopesick’, the series about the Sacklers. Both of the shows, in my opinion, did an adequate job of portraying their antagonists as the true sociopath pieces of human shit they are, as well as showing the sometimes heroic efforts of those around…

Holy cow, this thread is the strongest incel catnip I’ve seen all week!

you’re a gross person.

I mean I don’t care whether or not Wood’s claims are true, but if she gets Marilyn Manson’s shitty music pulled off of Youtube she’s a hero

Stanford didn’t die, so no need for a funeral. This isn’t a documentary.

Strong agree. My party line has been that, if you still think “The Matrix was such a good movie, such a shame they never made a sequel” jokes are pithy and witty in 2021, then you can probably skip Resurrections and keep making that joke. But if you can vibe with the other sequels, you can vibe with Resurrections.…

Respectfully, I disagree. The Wachowskis’ work has always been bugnuts and deeply personal, and one time it was hugely commercial basically by accident. The early aughts is littered with attempts to make a Matrix without them, and those movies–Equilibrium, Aeon Flux, UltraViolet, the Underworld series–have all aged…

I’ve only seen Resurrections once so I’m still not really sure how I feel about it, but there was way more I liked than disliked in it. But one thing I *really* liked about it is its unapologetic weirdness and there’s a really good chance any Wachowski-less version would’ve played things much more safely. I’m glad…

Didn’t Revolutions end w/the machines agreeing to let people who become aware of the Matrix unplug and go live in Zion, and not try to destroy the place, in exchange for those humans not hacking into the Matrix and running around killing everyone? So who broke the treaty first?

Well... no point in locking him up except for the non-small chance that a spree murderer like him will kill again.

Not shooting people, for one thing.

Can’t expect everybody to always be as cynical as reality.

I’m not sure what’s more ridiculous: That you expect us to believe that this is your first comment on the topic or that you expect us to have been breathlessly following your posting activity....

This is not hyperbole: I feel physically ill reading that Rittenhouse was found not guilty.

Yeah...not sure I know any women who honestly fell in love with someone and were like ‘eh, his nose is too big. nevermind.’ I feel like I probably know more men who have gotten hung up checking boxes before they will commit to someone.

The main moral of this show:
