It's a more accurate prediction of the future than Back to the Future 2.
I fucking hate the future
That is horrifying. I’m curious if you can modify the can without it knowing.
So you provide product placement and exposure for Mountain Dew, and they might return the favour. Wonderful.
That’s the business for ya! Would be hilarious to for one of their featured streamers to read off the Dub the Dew list.
The first probably no one watches, and the second shouldn't fucking exist.
And I thought Twitch couldn't stoop any lower.
Stuff like this is one of the reasons I won't be sad when fully AI streamers inevitably take over. It's all fake already, but there's still a human involved; so we can (predatorily) pretend it's not. At least with everything being artificial it's honest about what it is.
4chan green text predicted the future...
Or the Dew Marketing team saw the green text and thought "Sayyyyyy... That's a mighty fine idea"
That's horrifying.
Any chance Dr Pepper does that?
extends baton Pick up the verification can.
This could have been a scene out of Idiocracy 2 if it were an actual movie and Mike Judge hadn't cucked out.
I think he never got it. I don't think he deserves credit for delivering a warning. He was lampooning existing trends. IOW his explanation makes sense. To say it's backpedaling is to imply there was some real statement the first time.
There's a kind of satire where you intend to correct people, and then there's a kind where you're just drinking while you watch it all burn. I assign Idiocracy to the latter category, which robs it of some meaning. On a second viewing.
idiocracy was funny. But not that funny
the most insufferable part of idiocracy is listening to other people reference Idiocracy as if the fact that “they get the joke” means that they’re the “smart ones” when they’re actually the normal fags
I think I agree with you because I think it was a movie directed at normie fags. it's easy enough to appreciate. I liked the movie; I like the memes. Claiming it's a documentary or something is just dumb; it's not really good at explaining dysgenics at all.
It frames dysgenics as too many white people breeding.
I meant that. I dunno if I said it, but that's what I meant.
Yeah he definitely failed to frame the issue as the browning of America -- which it is. Not particularly based.
The other part of that framing that is incorrect -- A framing that I see a lot -- is the idea that the lowest IQ people are the ones you dislike the most. In this case, rednecks. I have no evidence that rednecks have a lower IQ than anyone else. If you're gonna focus on a population, focus on one that's supported by facts.
We are in agreement.
When somebody is an insufferable Idiocracy fan tell them it pales in comparison to Demolition Man as a dystopian movie.
The people that worship Idiocracy hate Demolition Man because it's all about them; fascist totalitarianism, verbal morality standards, pathetic weak men, joy-joy feelings, 47-year-old virgins singing I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener.
Interesting. I’ll try that.
Demolition man was awesome. Lol
Reminder that Sony literally patented the technology to skip ads by yelling the brand name at the TV a decade ago.
Companies like that patent everything they can, though. It's not necessarily some big brain plan that they are hiding. It could be just a dumb idea that they decided was yet unique enough to be patentable with the patent itself being an asset/victory. They collect them and then fight with them, like Beyblades.
I've thought about this exchange a few times when I've signed over patents where the document claims they gave me "good and valuable consideration" when they really didn't. Maybe if I could actually have bought something for a dollar I would have demanded it.
The situation I normally think of with corps is a work-for-hire. In that case, getting your name on a patent is additional consideration on top of what they paid you -- a pretty good deal.
But they still own it, which means not only did they have the idea in the first place but they also have the ability to use it if they see fit.
I don't foresee them doing so simply because of how bad they are already doing and how extremely bad it would go, but the idea is still in their court.
More accurate than you realize. Microsoft owns Xbox. They also are creeping their tentacles into every fucking service. Like four services I use for work replaced their own login method with Windows authentication bullshit which I don't even fully understand what it is. Are these things all connected to each other? And why are we doing this? And if Windows/Microsoft decide I've been a bad boy, can they deny be access to the different vendors I use for my livelihood? This shit is so gay.
I logged into M$ teams for work on a different computer. "Oh, where are all my teams/coworkers/chat channels?" Oh, this is "Personal Teams". But I didn't login to my personal account. I logged into fucking work's account. I don't want work's account peeking over into my private account. Capiche? Fuck. And FWIW I don't think it's work's intention to be attached to my personal account, either. M$ forced this.
Every day we stray closer to Demolition Man.
I’m looking forward to the fast food wars.
Ah, this Stela is from the Sunset Age. It contains Wisdom of the Ancients.
Back when I was 20, I drank so much Mountain Dew in one night that I could taste orange juice.
Let’s just say I stopped drinking it for a long time.
