I am grateful that I have been found worthy by the Lord Jesus Christ to have pushed the Idiocracy theme joke to the point where those worthy have witnessed the fact that repeating a joke endlessly does in fact destroy it instead of making it funnier.

All the things that make us
Laugh and cry
really need to a get a new job, too bad my last municipal water job interview went badly.

been having my olde boomer boss berate me all loving week about having dirty field equipment and a field car with some dust on it. "it's downright an embarrassment to have a field vehicle with mud on it, it leaves a bad impression that people won't take us seriously! this field kits has a dirty hammer and geology ruler. this needs to be cleaned! when i was working back in the 60s i would have been laughed off a job site if i had a hammer in this condition!". like yeah ok im taking it to loving unpaved dusty construction and other project sites, what the gently caress? should i really waste a of perfectly fine drinking water to clean a loving car or hammer that'll get dirty again the next day? i guess that's just the boomer generation gap where it's a-ok to waste a ton of resources even though it literally does not matter and coming in with pristine poo poo looks worse to me but w/e.

i'm just thoroughly sick and tired of working this job at this point and just feels like its getting increasingly harder to get up and trudge it out another day

anyways, trump!

When you think about it, it really brings to light how prophetic Idiocracy was. It's basically a documentary now.

Read the book. Dick's prose carries a lot of his stories. Same reason the Scanner Darkly movie was boring and stupid.

Someone once recorded a pov video of their entire day at work, at the grocery store, at a bar, and then finally at home, and when they uploaded the footage to youtube it got flagged for copyright infringement of the movie Idiocracy. Says it all really.

yeah although i think his prose still is kinda hard to get into. I bounced off Ubik and Valis several times until it clicked the last time.

Scanner Darkly is probably more that Linklater kinda sucks and i don't think i really liked any of his movies, but that's subjective.

I haven't seen his other films, and it's also hideous so maybe. Ubik and Valis are not easy reads, people should start with Scanner Darkly and Do Androids Dream. They're weird books but they're a good intro to what he does.

you might have seen Dazed and Confused which was pure boomer revisionist nostalgia bullshit. But as far as Dick goes, yeah that's fair, i actually haven't read Scanner Darkly but I probably should. I haven't read much sci-fi the last 10 years as I did when i was a teen, though that's more of just poor prioritization of free time.
