Agree to disagree but as someone mentioned already, the path to the dystopia depicted in Black Mirror is happening all around us already. We’re frogs in boiling water.

The episode “Dogs” isn’t funny though. It went straight for the jugular! It is way scarier than The Terminator films if you ask me.

Black Mirror is about placing the mirror to society (hence the title). If you find the show childish, maybe because humans are childish?

there always seemed to be significant obstacles in getting there from where we are that are never explored or explained away.

Just my opinion but i don’t think it matters. Since the show is about putting the mirror onto society and how immature (and cruel) we are, my impression is that getting to the dystopian aspects is because we dropped the ball and allowed ourselves to submit to the darker and physical manifestation of our psyche, which we see in technology spying or trying to kill us, or torturing a person over and over just to feel good about ourselves by inflicting what we perceive to be “justice”.

Yeah, a lot of rich folks said it’s been about one-upping each other.

Mark Cuban was asked if he wants to increase his net worth. He responded that he’s busy managing the Dallas Maverick’s. But that interview seems to insinuate that there is an expectation amongst the wealthy to just keep accumulating wealth. Literally like a cancer that keeps growing.

It’s Divinity Original Sins 2 for me. Some side quests are interesting but it is getting cumbersome and a chore for me because getting to some of those side quests are awkward, like I have to teleport my entire team across large crevasses one by one. I think I will just go straight to finishing the main quests and my companions’. I have a backlog of games I need to clear up myself!

I’m no expert but if you’ve been scrolling that long… that could be a sign of porn addiction. It means no other videos else could satisfy you.

It’s funny how superheroes are territorial.

In Arkham games, Batman would say Alfred’s name out loud on the comms in front of others. I know that there are many people with the name Alfred but as someone who is thorough, Batman still just gave anyone a possible clue to his identity!

I kinda have the same view as you OP. My parents got married in mid thirties and had my siblings and I within four years after their marriage. So, of course it influenced my view that marriage before 35 is “too young”.

As an outsider, I kinda like him but hearing of the controversies surrounding him, it says a lot that he could be looking the other way even though he may not be directly involved.

Pedro Sanchez is a capable prime minister of the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party. Unfortunately, his party and his family members are embroiled in scandals which tarnishes his legacy. But that’s not to say that Pedro isn’t corrupt himself, he just hadn’t been directly implicated.

It’s a balance. You want to experience what life has to offer before you grow old. But at the same time, you don’t want to end up financially struggling at retirement.

Good thing I skipped a generation of console.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely ", unfortunately. I heard that studies have shown the neurophysiology of a person changes the longer they are in power and influence.

I also own shares on memory manufacturers but i am flexible to sell my shares if the companies turn out to be total sleaze bags. There are plenty of other companies in East Asia regions that are killing it in the EV and AI boom that are not sleazy.

Because greed.

I guess I mistaken. I can’t find the source although I think I have may have confused it with an article from Australia of a homeless shelter inspired from Japanese pods.

That’s okay. He’s got mountains of cash to waste because he’s selling billions of user data worth trillions.

I think even sane people would acknowledge China is pragmatic and more forward thinking, despite the politics.
