I'm looking for the title of a movie. Any help is appreciated.
It wasn't in English (Spanish?) and was a vignette film with six(?) storytellers' takes on a machine that generates any possible image, such as the pages of an unwritten play by Shakespeare, and the resulting apocalypse.
I'm 99% sure I saw it on netflix about two years ago.
I'm distractable and indecisive and hardly ever get a damn thing done. However, if I decide something's important, I single focus on it and persevere far past the point a normal person would have given up.
Once I decide something's important, I'm infinitely brave. Even if my rational mind knows it's not worth dying over, I will risk my life over stupid shit simply because I never checked my head and changed course when it was appropriate.
I'm a hyperlexical AuDHD with cPTSD and EDS. Whew! A generation ago I just would have been Asperger's.
I'm an autodidactic polymath.
I'm some kind of online oracle, but don't know how or why. I'm probably one of those fucked-up CIA experiments from the 70s. They make movies about me.
I was raised atheist. The Matrix is religious power, albeit run by secular agency, and I was born outside it. I'm stuck in the desert of the real.
Hello all! I read a piece indicating there's an audience for political rants, and I do have a distinct take on that stuff. In my first post, I talk about the way the spook agencies shape the narrative by controlling the entertainment. Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks got induced cancer, Eddie Murphy had to stop being smart in public, and Bill Cosby got a voice because he validated white racism.
I need one person who isn't lying to me. I've never had that. Everyone I've been close to, all my family, were lying to me about who they were and who I was all my life. Now, my only source of information is the internet, and I don't trust it. I missed the memo where everyone on the internet became honest and honorable; I still see it as an unregulated wasteland of bullshit and scam artists.
@Uair@actuallyautistic I'm not sure I can commit to being your one person. But I can confirm that I saw the aurora with my own eyes last week. The Sun goes through an 11 year cycle of where it's magnetic activity ebbs and flows. The next solar maximum is next year (2025) which means higher likelihood that particles from solar flares will hit earth's atmosphere, which causes the aurora. My engineer brother reassured me the risks to the grid are over hyped because it's not hard to protect from
I was fiddling around online recently and came across the trope that there's some kind of housing shortage in the US. Jeeze Louise! I thought we'd solved that forever ago. This guy 'splained it in '92:
I had another million dollar idea. Start manufacturing reusable substitutes for plastic junk. I cook, and try to reuse the packaging my foodstuffs come in, but why not glass/ wood/ metal/ silicon permanent solutions? Most people see a difference between an old pickle jar--trash--and a glass jar with steel lid they bought at Sharper Image, so make some money selling them one.
I need a place to store 20lbs of rice and 4lb bags of beans.

Ah the old "reuse" of the three Rs. That was a really big movement in maybe the 70s in the US. It's why a lot of grocery stores still have a "bulk" section where you can bring your own container. People forget, or don't manage the logistics of bringing the right containers, so a lot of grocery stores don't do it anymore. If you could provide a service to outsource container management (+ convenience and savings) then there's a business.
@eo@Uair@economics@a.gup.pe @actuallyautistic it's now the law in Germany to offer it for take away meals. Still not very common though. Recently found a REWE supermarket where the reusable bowls from the salad bar could be returned in the same machines as the bottles and cans.
Bookstores should group fantasy with horror instead of scifi. Both fantasy and horror are purely creations of the author's mind; scifi is tethered to factual information.
If you need to group scifi, I'd put it with mysteries and thrillers.
Having managed a bookstore and worked in several bookstores back in the day: the categories are extremely arbitrary and permeable anyway, books are released with multiple categorizations, and placement in an actual store boils down to management preference.
There will never be a final decisive categorization because that's simply not the dynamic nature of human creations.
The idea of careful scientific extrapolation v wildly fantastic writing in a scientific vein actually goes back to Verne and Wells respectively. Yet Verne wrote stuff wrong at the time, and people are often wrong about the future. Hard SF isn't morally superior.

I’ll guess. 1/2 of dimes. 1 of nickels <> 1/2 of dimes. The dimes are smaller so 1/2 of dimes are more 💰 than 1 of nickels because of volume. 🤷🏻♂️
I had another million dollar idea if anyone wants to run with it.
As a kid, mmy family used to take 95 down the East coast (USA) and I always was happy when we got to South of the Border, a sprawling truck stop that was the last place to purchase fireworks for a thousand miles.
We should make North of the Border, a for-profit healthcare complex. We can have the abortion wing, where abortionists hang out shingles advertizing their wares.
Then we can have the trans care wing, with all those alternatives displayed.
Include a banned bookstore.
And anything else the red states want to take away from their citizens. Blue staters can head South for fireworks and illegal guns, red staters can head north for healthcare and information.
@Uair@actuallyautistic Many humans expect dogs to be wary of me because I'm "weird," but I don't think dogs view me differently than other humans. I wonder if there's any statistics on dogs and autistic people.
Hey everyone! I mentioned this once before, but I've been using the page substitutes on this account and they really are awesome. This is the old internet. Better. Worth checking out.
Well, today I'm not allowed to buy potatoes or lemon juice. I have no freaking idea why the state are such assholes to me. They trick me into thinking there is some kind of way to get along with them and it's always Charlie Brown placekicking. Today they had me convinced they wanted me sober, but that's not enough, apparently, to be allowed a side dish or flavoring in my water.
They make movies about me and I don't know why. They make movies about me and I don't know why.
