True deregulation would result in a form of psuedoregulation eventually.

Companies would abuse people and behave unethically. Workers would get angry. Eventually workers would organize and employers would have to follow worker demands to be able to continue operations.

IMO if wanted a Dune TV series to work they'd go with lore/backstory stuff that the novels do not get into as much.

The jihad occurs between books and is enabled by coercion of the guild.

Hopefully everybody will realize they were rooting for a Harkonnen all along.

The Oscars are now a circlejerk. Don’t rewatch Dune unless you are a masochist.

Not a popular opinion, especially in the Dune topic. I did not like the first movie and don’t have high hopes for the second.

Characters are too pretty. I understand they have to be clean (for the movie) but Arrakis is supposed to be harsh.

It leaves big parts of the book out, even contradicts the book for the rule of drama. Kynes quote about not being able to survive two hours without a stillsuit (not in the books, examples include Kynes) means Arrakis is physically toxic, putting stillsuits on par with spacesuits. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=edJKKUsdVNY

Overall I give the movie a C-. Watchable but not worth paying money for.

Hopefully the next one is better. But I wouldn’t count on it or pay to see it.

You should learn empathy.

You are interesting. Go ahead and doubledown on hatred. Thanks. Have a great day!

Thank you for the example of someone dehumanizing other people.

I did not know. Thanks.

I thought ubuntu tried to do an opt-out-able advertising scheme.

Polarized. Two nearly identical people can easily be convinced to hate each other over all sorts of silly nonsense because of what media they choose to consume.

Yeah. Fucking a 18 year old that is pretending to be 15 is creepy, not criminal.

Hopefully false but plausible so if it is false this might be slander or libel.

Thanks for quoting what they’ll say to you while you sit in a cell for assault.

Using violence justifies further escalation. if you punch me for not using your pronouns (especially if I don’t know them) you deserve to either go to jail or get punched back.

Violence begets violence. We are nominally adults. We can use words and choose not to associate with others instead of being the aggressor.

Yes physical violence over someone using words is the correct way to do things!

So in communism individuals own the means of production? Otherwise the farm is owned by the government.

It’s also 24/7 so there’d be people working weird hours. Capital gets that work done even in communist countries (capital or direct coercion).
