So they're making a live action OPM in Hollywood and not using a story from the original creators but instead Dan Harmon and Heather Anne Campbell rewriting a script from two dudes responsible for Kangaroo Jack and Netflix's Cowboy Bebop respectively to be helmed by the director from Fast and Furious?

Jesus fucking Christ on flaming pogo stick this is going to suck. It'll be funny, maybe, but not in the same iconic way OPM is funny and all the rest of it will be off. Calling it now, they're going to set it in America, race swap multiple characters and fuck with the mythology somehow. Plus it's a Sony production so the cinematography is going to be in that same shitty league as Morbius, Venom and Madame Web. Fuck!

The US needs a new hub for the film industry completely separate from Hollywood that isn't controlled by multinational conglomerates. Hollywood is looking too far gone at this point.

Coolness. I guess once you go live with it I'll see where I might be able to help design-wise and send some ideas (my laziness allowing).

Awesome. Hype engaged.

BTW I want to offer you a graphic design assist with the app, but I also don't want to do any work. It's a conundrum for me.

How easy/hard is the UI to fiddle with if you wanted to? We talking basic HTML/CSS or some kind of templating system with a lot of moving parts?

They say they're rolling Linux out over time and training the workers how to use it before and as they switch. Gotta think that'll have better results than some of the failed attempts to switch by some other governments.

I'm definitely going either Linux with a Win11 virtual machine or just strait Linux when I'm forced to leave Windows 10 finally. I'm sick of Windows power-user hostility and privacy invasion.

Sometimes over on Reddit a random comment of mine that had been stagnant for years would get one upvote and I'd be like "Nice."

Hopefully no jobs will survive and we can ascend past this feudal, wage slave based system. People are too attached to identifying as workers rather than as free human beings.

The UN (United Nations, the government of governments) created the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) which caused the WEF (World Economic Forum, the controllers of banks and corporations) to create ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) which enforces the UN's SDGs on the corporate and finance world. This filters down at the ground level to become DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) standards mandated by the companies on their employees and products where applicable. This is the reason movies and shows have been heavily race swapping characters and cramming in as many politically correct, feminist, or other so called "woke" narratives as possible. It's why literary agencies now employ "sensitivity readers" to censor books. This is the root cause of the culture war.

As good-hearted as these policies and mandates may seem (and there is some good, getting companies to stop raping the environment, fighting to end poverty, these parts fuck) the social engineering component has proven to be cancerous and deeply divisive.

So yeah Blackrock and companies under their umbrella will call ESG bad for business but they'll still push it because the UN is pushing it and the banks are pushing it, the people who really control the guns and money. So downstream companies will keep pushing it because their funding from the banks and their investment backing from Blackrock, Vanguard and the like depends on it plus there's a generation of newly indoctrinated young adults in their employ fresh out of schools with DEI-laced curriculums to attend to. Meanwhile everyone else is left to look at all our institutions and entertainment going to absolute shit following this top-down mandate from on high that just doesn't jive with real life or common sense.
