neptune,

No, not really. If there was some other goal besides the honest exchange of the hat for the money, then maybe. Fraud (“the hats made of gold and is therefore a great value!”) and price gouging (“it’s the only hat for sale on a sunny day so I’m selling it at a 1000x markup!”) might be crimes in some contexts. As mentioned, money laundering (avoiding tax or other legal requirements to move money) is also a crime.

neptune,

That was good.

Yeah hard to picture a multi billion dollar studio greenlighting a movie where Spiderman kills the 300 richest and redistributes their wealth, or Iron Man leads a worker revolution.

neptune,

I think there is an option in Settings. Under privacy there is a toggle for Listening Activity to hide it from followers. It’s below the temporary version of the setting, Private Session I think you are thinking of. Why a temporary privacy setting would be such an option is beyond me.

neptune,

I just got a bottle of malort. Yes. It’s vile. Bitter, herbal, barely sweet, acrid, astringent… It’s bad.

I have a whiskey aged on chestnut. It’s very good. Different than all the oak whiskey out there. A little earthier?

I have a bottle of aquardiente. It’s kind of a minty drink. Not good or bad persay.

Ouzo and absinthe are pretty typical I guess. Rhubarb liqueur and I’m not sure what to do with it.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

neptune,

This is exactly what happens in The Boys too

Spoilers for the first few seasons: the righteous non supers find drugs to give themselves superheroes so they can battle the corrupt super heroes. Yes, this cheat code to power begins to corrupt them too.

Further, the super hero Council and corporation works hard to replace the roles the military covers. They then become an unaccountable shadow agency that the people want to keep doing the work of the government… But then democracy is slipping away.

neptune,

It’s a place where subs can gossip about their doms

neptune,

So they aren’t the droids I’m looking for.

neptune,

That’s the joke. I immediately thought of the book and then when I went to find a photo to paint lightsabers on, I realised that both the OG and “and Zombies” had been made into films about fifteen years ago. This image is from the “and Zombies” film. They were already carrying swords in this shot.

neptune,

I love that essay so much. I reread it occasionally. I think about the man who won’t eat ketchup pretty frequently.

neptune,

Twi’lek fetishists checking in, any minute now

neptune,

It’s not real. You can see the photo shop textures in the orange label. Also “black licorice” wouldn’t be an ingredient. It would be anise or natural flavoring that also happens to go into black licorice.

neptune,

The thought is that the US is implying or directly stating that support for Ukraine is contingent on Zelensky supporting Isreal.

neptune,

I’m sorry, but this is some serious mental gymnastics. “Don’t try to hard but use logic to justify your emotions about supporting a war of choice.”

No thanks.

neptune,

The AI Dj was promising, but broken.

Would be cool to tell Spotify “make an angry Playlist I would have like in 2012” or “play music from fantasy films” or whatever. But worth that much more per month? Hmm

neptune,

Judging by the glasses, this is a 2012 meme judging hipsters for inconspicuous consumption.
