Ocean “currents”? I ain’t never seen no goddamn “currents” in the ocean, boy. Have you? They just be sayin’ these things to keep us distracted from how their undloadin’ trucks full of illegals in are country to steal are jobs and sell drugs and live off of welfare!
You’ve got it all wrong! It was actually an incredibly genius move, as the writers knew that after 7 seasons of twists, turns and surprises, the audience wouldn’t really be phased by any characters death anymore. We’d become so accustomed to sudden character deaths that watching GoT became the literal incarnation of “expect the unexpected” and you can’t shock people who are just waiting for it to happen. So what did the showrunners do? They did the only thing nobody expected, assassinated the only target they knew would still get a reaction out of people after all this time - they killed off the show itself.
A lot of stuff. But that your point basically boils down to “not all of China is about genocide!” is more than enough to know that it’s not worth my time arguing with you.
Yeah: mass transit (transit) into camps (housing) for “re-education” (education), with the chance to get forcefully married to a real Chinese man (social mobility), or end up having your organs harvested (healthcare)
Plenty! Apart from the obvious horror stuff like Berserk, worlds where humans face constant threats of extinction by herculean threats like Evangelion or AoT (on Paradis, at least), or “society is gone” endtime settings like Dr. Stone, one that comes to my mind especially is Psycho Pass. I’d rather not spend life in an Orwellian dystopia, thanks.
On a side note: I think the world of Dragon Ball wouldn’t be half bad actually. Highly advanced technology, a diverse society (a dog for a king! Need I say more?) and the guarantee that an afterlife exists. Not to mention that on the off chance a villain kills a bunch of people again, they’ll be wished back to life by the heroes once they’ve inevitably won.
Thunder is what I’m using right now, too. It’s the most “clean” looking dedicated Lemmy app I’ve seen so far. Though I’m most likely going to switch to Boost for Lemmy once it’s available. I’m really looking forward to launching the rocket again :D
