So the cyberpunk future is happening but just in the s[BLEEP]ttiest way possible
AI tells people to put glue on their pizza to keep the Cheese on
Hackers shut down breweries
Anyone can deepfake anyone
And yet none of these powers are used to fight evil

F[BLEEP]K YEAH Johnny Mnemonic!
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte10:09 AM
...oh. Don't read the Gibson stories. Doesn't end well for him.
@SpeedRcrX10:10 AM
THEY'RE NON CANON
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte10:10 AM
... how can they be non-canon if he's the author?!
@SpeedRcrX10:11 AM
THE SAME WAY I, a S[BLEEP]TTY ENGLISH TEACHER, can insist that "symbolism" means when a dude runs into a cave he's trying to return to womb.
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte10:11 AM
...I don't think those two things are equivalent?
@SpeedRcrX10:11 AM
Oh they are, Peinforte. they are.
If I can ascribe arbitrary meaning to someone else's work and this becomes accepted "analysis" then I can override Gibson's stupid f[BLEEP]king decision to ice Keanu Reeves.
IT WAS ALL A DREAM. JUST LIKE THE HENSHIN OF GREGOR SAMSA INTO A C[BLEEP]KROACH
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte10:13 AM
You know, having seen some OG Kamen Rider now I could make a joke about Shocker having transformed him into a roach-man.

Look at you graduating into greaterotaku-dom, Paise~
I think it's incredibly rich because Americans love nothing more than to fetishise their guns, and would rather see dozens of children get shot up every year rather than do the sensible thing and get rid of them, but oh no let's take them away from f[BLEEP]king James Bond when he literally is an assassin for His Majesty's Government.
Because what the f[BLEEP]k kind of cognitive dissonance is this? Who are they trying to appeal to here? Who are they trying to appease here?
It's a hypocrisy 1000% in line with 2025 America. There's my take on it.

Maybe the thought of a British man with a gun scares them. They fear a reverse 1776.

I really want to understand what Bezos is thinking, man

"I need more cocaine to snort whilst I roll around naked in my pile of Billions in Amazon Prime Dol---"
oh f[BLEEP]k Haruka
@SpeedRcrX8:01 AM
What
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte8:01 AM
Well think about it
Mdm_Maestro8:01 AM
That's asking a lot of her, dear.
@Paisley Pythia Peinforte8:03 AM
A f[BLEEP]king megabillionare who's bald and has a space programme and controls a s[BLEEP]tton of the world's infrastructure through AWS and Amazon commerce.... he's Bond's f[BLEEP]king natural enemy. Of COURSE he'd disarm him. He's a real-life Bond villain!
