Holy shit did Harry Gregson-Williams rip off this soundtrack to compose
Yell Dead Cell?
As you can see my critques or essays haven't got much better and
probably won't. Gopherland has been a pretty nice community of neurotic
Scandavians until now. I have made it 'toxic' or whatever buzz word
video essayists like to bend all moving off.
Fuck the culture of smart drugs, fuck technology, fuck the
pseudointellectual neckbeard that fell in love with this show and is
writing this crap.
Smart drugs, nootropics, are the shallow cesspool made of the waste
product of le STEM and le TECH. No one is alowed to be a cog in the
machine anymore. Now we are exptected to be masters of technology and
automation with HR departments making more and more insane demands. And
employers sticking to them when you have successfully bullshited
yourself into hell itself.
Your really hitting walls at this point? Realize after that cushion of
early 20s narcissim that your just average? Time to crack out the
modafinil and go down the rabbit hole of teeting between anxiety and
depression.
What does this have to do with Lain? Nothing really, the smart drug just
lets the guy see how screwed we are. We're all connected, especially him
now, unless he is in limbo i.e. his unscalable cryptocurrency can't be
sent for less then $15.
Copland OS is like some developer edition of Windows without the
charming jingles. The fonts remind me awfully of 2005, which
incidentially from the invoice we can see when the show is set. I
remember getting into this high tech nightmare at my friends house as he
showed me movies in real player and we toyed with HTML. Little did know
it would ruin our lives. Never do web, not even once. Overall it was
quite a happy time in my life with Pope John Paul II dying and beautiful
sunsets.
Around that time I remember looking forward to Windows Longhorn, getting
excited about java mobile games and javascript and being excited about the
possibility that someday I would have a megabit connection. Realizing this,
I know don't need to live in the moment. The moment was wrong in every way
and is just tragically amusing now.
90% of technology is crap and I am surviving off knowing a small subset more
willingly then anybody else in the office. I don't need a big git repo and
to be slaving away for giant tech company that makes the crumbs of my labour
look like substantial rewards. Of course I'm not smart enough for that, but
I feel ~wise~, no lucky enough, to avoid this crap at all costs as I brace
myself and family for the unraveling of all this nonsense.
Don't end up like suicide nightclub guy. Realize that alot of this
technology is only difficult because it's disasteriously complicated.
Unionize and take it easy. The first part is probably going to be pretty
hard.
