I'm only on the second season, but, surprisingly, I'm enjoying Stranger Things more than I did Westworld. I liked season 3 of Westworld as a commentary on where technology is headed (no spoilers, but I'm not referring to the potentially sentient AI part). This is going to sound contradictory, given how much of an X-Files MSR shipper I am, but it bugs me when shows focus too much on romantic relationships and lost children, which is what I feel WW ended up doing.

I know it’s a gray area, but I just discovered Stremio and am celebrating that I can watch #westworld again

#Trump & #Netanyahu: "the performance of dominance is central to their authority. In that framework, a negotiated exit is not merely a strategic setback but a form of emasculation, one that their entire political identity is organized to prevent"

The Last Temptation of Trump at the End of a Failed War

The president has backed himself into a corner where making a deal with Iran risks appearing, in his eyes, like a humiliating failure

🤠 #Westworld vibes! A surreal piece of Americana in Japan,an abandoned theme park filled with animatronic cowboys.

Built on a dream in the 1970s, the attraction evolved from a horse ranch into a million-visitor attraction. The opening of juggernauts like Tokyo DisneySea and Universal Studios Japan in the mid-2000s signalled the end.

@FuturisticRobert @tezoatlipoca @whatdidmarksay in fact, I'd go out of my way that the only cases where I've seen people pirate stuff is when they couldn't get a legal copy (or even afford it)…

  • There are literally #shows like #WestWorld where the greedy corporation (#HBO) decided to break the unspoken social contract of the #MovieIndustry and shaft the entire crew by #delisting it and thus not having to payout any #residuals to cast and crew.
    • obviously that too means you can't just buy a box of (#4K) #bluray|s with it on.

Not to mention the whole fuckup of #Enshittification like #RegionCoding / #RegionLocking #DVD & espechally blu-ray drives.

  • You know how hard it is to get a truly multi-region #BDXL player that plays all the blu-rays and DVDs?
    • If you can even find one that is…
    • Spoiler alert: An exploitable PC drive and tools to rip legitimate bought discs is significantly cheaper

And that assumes the content you want to buy is even available in your region:

  • Like I can't even import a blu-ray of #CyberSix from Canada and shove that into a Player here in Germay, cuz I'm expecting this to be blocked by the players' firmware for no reason but that this bullshit is still legal.
    • Like whenever those that "play by the rules" get shafted I think it's 100% self-inflicted #piracy for said companies.
    • So why (aside from the fact that I've to legally condone it and won't do it out of principle) wouldn't people #pirate if the only alternative is to spend triple-digits on a used disc (DVDs with easy to bypass region-locking are even more expensive!) one cannot even play legally???
    • It's not as if the #IP holders have any confidence or hope to get any money out if this, or they'd at least put it up for icensing as a download?
