Also mentions tin foil being more effective so why ever bother with the smelly yogurt?

I know that The Matrix is a trans allegory but simulation theory isn't necessarily the same as being imprisoned in a simulation. It means we might not exist at all. Simulation goes away, we go away. Or maybe it's like The Matrix and we're all trans eggs. There's no way to know which version it is or how many people are real vs simulated.

Simulation theory doesn't equal The Matrix.

I mean they've only had 3 models over the last 26 years. Everything else is a special edition of an existing model.

The looks aren't my cup of tea either these days. I loved the Zonda F as a teen, but these days I'd rather have a Mercedes V12 in a... Mercedes.

If you look now, Mamdani's tweet currently has 20x the retweets and 30x the likes. Most of the replies to Cuomo are telling him off.

Twitter shows Cuomo to more people, hence the views, but engagement is higher for Mamdani.

Technically it's Foxconn that pays their wages and taxes. The comic obviously has a point though. Minus the Fairphone (overpriced for its spec and likely going to get shorter software support than any iPhone since the 5 it 5S), the options are all shit and include some form of modern slavery. IPhones just get the most attention while Samsung literally runs a country. We can't just all stop owning modern electronical devices altogether.

Figured as much, just haven't read them myself

Maybe, but then these franchises were woke originally too. RATM also had a song about police being evil in... 1992. Superman's biggest villain was a billionaire.

To be clear I don't consider woke to be a bad thing unlike the person you replied to.

Idk if it's in the comics too, but in first class or some movie, Magneto is depicted as a holocaust survivor. It's in fact a big part of his identity.

Also the second companion, Martha, was a black medical student. One of the best companions too, up there with Amy and Clara if you ask me. Wish she'd gotten more than one season.

The whole real vs fake world, realizing you have to get out of the fake one... That's an egg cracking metaphor I guess?
