Honor the red, white, and splooge.

Fill my eyes with that tunnel vision.

No disguise…

That out of context quote takes a lot of shit for something that was supposed to represent a futuristic socialist utopia.

The idea was that 14 years after that article was published, mankind would have such immediate access to services and those services would be free, that people would just sorta stop caring about owning things. For example, since food and necessities would be free, you could go home and print your dinner. If you wanted someone else to cook, you’d get something delivered. But, if you wanted to try something truly novel that most people don’t do anymore in this society, you could rent kitchen equipment and it’d be ready as soon as you need it, and you’d use socialized appliances and utensils. Why? Because your home doesn’t need that clutter. If you wanna cook all the time, you can own whatever you want. But most people will want to use that space for something else, so they’ll just print their meals.

You would have quick and easy access to transport, so why waste the money and space to own a car? You wanna drive? Push a button in your app and a car arrives for free. Or take the free train or bus.

The essay isn’t about “you won’t be able to own anything,” it’s about “you won’t want to own anything, but you’ll have everything you could ever want or need.”

And we’re really headed in the right direction for this amazing future. Except, you know… Corporations are bleeding us dry instead of supporting us…

I love your detailed response and admire your passion. For the record, I was being sarcastic since trepanning as a treatment was not intended for direct interaction with the brain. I threw the “deep tissue” in there because Mr. Gage did in fact get a hole in his skull. Unintentionally and originating from the wrong side.

We are all the ham on this glorious day

Sinceriously the best

Studying the effects of deep tissue trepanning?

Yes and no. The rod was actually a metal straw and the powder charge was actually a car traveling down I-80. Pretty common mistake.

The only reason this is documented so inaccurately is because everyone was too busy looking at the Kim Kardashian pic that broke the Internet and couldn’t open their camera app quickly enough to get it for the vine.

My previous boss showed me the job listing and said that it was better than anything he could offer, and told me to apply for it out else he’d lose respect for me.

They’re marshmallow fluff. Matt is the sliced ham and Trey is the ketchup.

Just like Mom used to make.

I have no clue how I missed this comment, but your choice to use this frame is fucking hilarious with that comment. Well done.

Also, I just resurrected your thread like Johnny after he’s KIA and lost his girlfriend to Austin from Days of our Lives.

I’ll have what I’m having!

I guess I gotta put this on a shirt before my next visit with my Brahmin in-laws

RIP door

I couldn’t resist

Well, they actually skirt the rules to stay out of the record books. They say it’s good strategy, but I think they’re all cheetahs.

Even better if you can use it to power a humanoid robot for a real world plant golem.

They did fix that pretty quickly, but what a classic mad scientist blunder that would turn a well meaning researcher into a villain in any action hero film.

• The writing staff literally threw out their scripts and rewrote the final season to try addressing the climate surrounding police violence.
• Stephanie Beatriz tweeted that any actor who makes high number residuals from producing copaganda should donate part of their checks to organizations combating police violence and corruption—she included a screenshot of her $11,000 donation to a couple of charities.
• On the show, her character, Rosa, literally stated that George Floyd was the reason she couldn’t continue working as a cop and instead became a PI who investigates corruption on behalf of civilian victims.
• The cast and crew collectively donated $100,000 to combat police corruption and violence.
• The main villain of the final season was lawyer or union leader or whatever who enabled and encouraged police corruption, citing anti-white hate and how it’s racist to call someone racist.
• I think it was Terry Crews who said in an interview that the show considered how it could possibly evolve into less problematic first responders or something, but that anything other than pointing out their issues and ending the show felt wrong. I can’t remember exactly what was said, and I’d already spent far too much time reading interviews to refresh my memory.
• Andre Braugher reflected on his career of copaganda and how he himself had fallen into the trap of how the media sweeps the police problem under the rug.

I’m sure there’s other stuff, but I’ve already spent an inappropriate amount of time on this comment.

Fin.
