Early in the 21st century, the Tyrell corporation advanced Robot evolution into the Nexus phase - a being virtually identical to a human - known as a Replicant. The NEXUS 6 Replicants were superior in strength and agility, and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who created them. Replicants were used off-world as slave labor, in the hazardous exploration and colonization of other planets. After a bloody mutiny by a NEXUS 6 combat team in an off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on earth - under penalty of death. Special police squads - BLADE RUNNER UNITS - had orders to shoot to kill, upon detection, any trespassing Replicant. This was not called execution. It was called retirement.

I just watched the new Blade Runner two days ago. Long as hell, but it didn't really feel like it when watching it at home. Amazing visuals, too. Somehow, I managed to miss the big reveal two thirds towards the end and then thought the last two minutes were the big reveal and it was a bit anti-climactic.

The soundtrack to the new blade runner is fantastic. It’s ok Spotify. The flight to LA song is best served extremely hot and loud.

Blade Runner 2049 is an excellent film and I'm really glad I saw it in theaters. Just visually gorgeous.

Bored As gently caress posted:Is this a real court case? It was, but was dismissed because it didn't state an applicable violation. (The woman had filled her own lawsuit in California alleging a civil rights violation) Her lawsuit was refiled later that year (2016) in New York by an attorney, but the Jew bastard part was not included in that lawsuit. The anonymous woman dropped the new lawsuit in October 2016. Here's a Vox article on it.

It's also going to be full of blatant, outright crimes, but he won't realize that they are crimes and just call them "doing business" and "making a great deal".

It means that people are aware that things are hosed up right now and need to change, but at the same time they've been brainwashed for decades into thinking that being seen as anything other than moderate or in the center is bad.

Warren's plan is bad. It's real bad. https://www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2019/11/01/warrens-perpetual-medicare-head-tax-is-unworkable-and-bad/ Have some charts and numbers. And some excerpts: quote:The proposal is as follows: quote:Separate from the distributive problems of Warren’s head tax, the two exclusions also make the proposal clearly unworkable and easily gamed. All companies have to do to avoid rather large head tax charges is spin off workers into independent contractor status or spin them off into firms with less than 50 employees that they then contract with for services. It's proposed because she has plans as the planning plan candidate, she wants a plan that screams "YOUR TAXES WON'T GO UP, I PROMISE", and because she can't actually support a single-payer system.
