Yeah, in Italy there's a lot of armed officials in public places and big stations (even train stations!). Usually they're only there to look intimidating. The ones who will actually bother people (usually immigrants) are regular policemen, who, paradoxically, are less likely to carry firearms

The only guns I see in my life are in possession of trained professionals. And even then it’s a lot if I see one per three months.

Here in my country (in Europe), you can just go to any important train station or public place and there'll be a bunch of soldiers doing fuck all with guns in their belts. They're just meant to stand there and look intimidating lmao. I've never even seen them bother immigrants or anything (that's the police's job)

I swear, whenever someone talks about how "humanity" is killing the planet, or "humanity" is evil or something like that, I get so irrationally mad. It's not humanity, it's like less than 1% of people that are bringing this planet down

Remember, the 'carbon footprint' metric was invented by British Petroleum's PR team.

I did like it very much actually, but I think the second half was dragged out hinting at information that was already obvious. I did watch other Kubrick moves but I was a little kid and I don't remember much

I thought we hated all billionaires

Steve Wozniak's net worth is like 10 million. That's far from a billionaire

Yeah, it's very obvious from the start that he's a mediocre person. Saying he becomes a badass is false advertising

Eyes Wide Shut, Billy Bat, and in general every thriller story that ditches the text in favor of the subtext

Grave of the Fireflies. You don't see any fighting and most people the protagonists meet are good, AND YET it's so depressing. Seeing how bad the horrors of war are, even in the best case scenario, was eye-opening for me.

That's because Monopoly (well, the game Monoopoly ripped off from) was designed to be bad (like Undertale's genocide route). It wanted to show how shitty the stock market is

This isn't trans genocide, but progressively making it impossible for trans people to exist hints at intolerance for their general existence
