Yeah after like 1 season iirc, it was so new and weird

Or Brand New Cherry Flavour, i wanted to see where that would go

I love this grotesque style, keep it up!

It totally is but it’s so engaging! I had trouble paying attention to things like Mad God, but Altered States drew me right in.

That does sound great, may be time for a sleepover viewing with the friends methinks, with some pipe weed

I watched Altered States for the first time a few years ago and that one got me more than most modern sci fi. It’s a masterpiece imo.

It’s honestly one of my favourite marathons to do on a cold winter weekend, excited for my annual viewing :)

I mean, blackmail is a pretty good reason, but also to money launder effectively you need to track the actual money, idk thats the best i can come up with

Depends whether he’s been in the black lodge yet or not

Dale Cooper

That’s a super good point!!

Those countries also have semi-planned economies

I don’t disagree at all, Information has always been out there for those who seek it out, the problem lies within capitalism, which only values education that has been paid for.

Often jobs will require a degree and experience, even trades that you say require informal training often require some sort of red seal or at least have an apprenticeship program.

You can get that education however you like, but its a bit more difficult to find an employer in a labour flooded market that is willing to let you prove your knowledge if you don’t have the recognition to back it up.

The education isn’t any less fruitful, but it is just valued less by the ruling class simply because it didn’t require money.

I would argue that primarily youre paying for the recognition of your education, as in your diploma, which is often what employers look at.

Capitalism

Yeah that’s pretty much what I’m getting at

I think they fear the social consequences (hence masks), ie. What happens when people they know find out what they do? Surely not everyone they know thinks what they’re doing is good.

Capitalism. Always.

don’t come using my country to say socialism is bad

This, I think, is misinterpretation of the meme, they’re using that phrase ironically to say that the US used socialism as an excuse to sanction because they always do that. This is what they did to Cuba too.

The US will infiltrate a functioning socialist economy and then say it doesn’t work after they caused it not to work.

That being said i know very little about Venezuela so I don’t know if it was functioning well before the sanctions or not, I just understood the meme differently than you and figured I’d mention there’s a different interpretation.

I’m annoyed at you so im responding to this thread just to raise your blood pressure.
