Yeah, Blade Runner is also amazing at capturing the aesthetic. I watched the final cut version of it, which is the only one that Ridley Scott got complete creative control over. Haven't watched the other cuts but did check out the monologue voiceovers on youtube that are on some of the other cuts, and I didn't care for them. The happy ending on some of them also seemed silly. There's a whole Wikipedia article about the various versions lol.

Haven't yet watched Blade Runner 2049 yet, but I've heard it's worth watching. Not quite as good as the original, but not much worse.

The entire movie embodies Cassette Futurism, but IMO the self-destruct sequence is particularly great. The entire process looks so satisfying that I probably wouldn't be able to stop myself from running it if I were one of the crew.

Unsurprisingly for the Star Tribune, seems like a reactionary response

If someone is doing something really bad to you, and someone else came over with a gun to stop them, would you stop the person saving you and purity-check them first?

Slavery was also much less prevalent in the North, and abolished completely ~55 years before the civil war. It's not really equivalent. To borrow your drug dealing analogy (though it's a loose one at best), it's kind of like your local weed dealer helping to remove an unabashed fentanyl dealer from the community

It's got a lot of neat features, but I was surprised by the steering most of all. Wish I could get crab mode on my car for parallel parking

This is a great explanation. Thinking of the question @[email protected] asked the other day of How could we convince Reddit subs to move over to Lemmy?, this is the sort of post that is good to share and draw people in to Lemmy.

One of the links in the article was interesting, I didn't know that Nancy Pelosi visited Tianenman Square in 1991:
