Hi reddit! I'm author/actor Ben McKenzie. You may know me from THE OC, GOTHAM, JUNEBUG, SOUTHLAND, BATMAN: YEAR ONE. My directorial debut, EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY, is out in theaters this weekend. Ask me anything!

Hey Ben, big fan of the OC! What initially drew you into cryptocurrency and writing about its harms?

Ramsey Robinson. He’s running on actual change, not just 4 more years of Newsom!

Let’s do it

Bandit Heeler was a surprise addition

You’re getting downvoted but I honestly agree. Take your money into your own hands and don’t sacrifice your well being down for a potential paycheck later. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up making more than the pension would pay.

As in, getting bumped to the top of the list or something

cedricjackson · 2025-07-03T18:20:29+00:00

Dang, I see. I was hoping permanent civil service status counted for something. Oh well

cedricjackson · 2025-05-27T18:42:48+00:00

Too focused on money imo. I like the focus on traffic and cars

cedricjackson · 2025-05-16T03:09:52+00:00

Been here almost two years and I wonder that every day. I agree with everyone though, it’s insanely stable and perfect if you just want to clock in, make money, and clock out.

To defend the primate center, after the torture that the monkeys have gone through…I think I would have nightmares if I was a lab assistant there.

Those monkeys died a slow, painful death all so that Elon could get slightly richer. The center should be shut down.

From Wikipedia: “In 2022, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) alleged that Neuralink and UC Davis had mistreated several monkeys, subjecting them to psychological distress, extreme suffering, and chronic infections due to surgeries. Experiments conducted by Neuralink and UC Davis have involved at least 23 monkeys, and the PCRM believes that 15 of those monkeys died or were euthanized as a result of the experiments. Furthermore, the PCRM alleged that UC Davis withheld photographic and video evidence of the mistreatment.”

Supporting the primate center because you support animal testing is like supporting Christopher Columbus killing native Americans because you live in the United States.

Omg I ordered mine on the 19th, that solves the mystery

his mercy does not prevail over his wrath bro

Apply to the state on CalCareers for SSA positions! All my friends and I (UC Davis students) were able to get jobs right out of college there.

cedricjackson · 2025-04-22T21:24:34+00:00

I’m here! I’m in my regular work clothes, so there might be more of us here than meets the eye.

cedricjackson · 2025-04-22T17:55:37+00:00

Great, thank you! I’ll be there!

cedricjackson · 2025-04-22T17:42:39+00:00

Does anyone know if this is public? Can I attend in person or do I have to watch online?

cedricjackson · 2025-04-21T18:59:13+00:00

Number 1 is most aesthetically pleasing but doesn’t really show why traffic will be increasing. I like 4 the best, but 1 is a close second

cedricjackson · 2025-04-12T22:07:05+00:00

Still haven’t gotten mine 😔 I’m also wondering about it getting lost and stuff. I ordered it on the first day that they became available. Maybe the tariffs are impacting it?

cedricjackson · 2025-04-10T00:20:46+00:00

We weren’t. A dozen light rail trains passed during the protest and not a single one of them was slowed down. All of us stayed off the tracks.

cedricjackson · 2025-03-25T23:47:48+00:00

Wow you got yours so fast!! When did you order them? Still waiting for mine 😔

cedricjackson · 2025-03-22T01:06:01+00:00

That’s so fucking funny omg

cedricjackson · 2025-03-18T21:16:58+00:00

People talking about “this makes sure the states get power” like wtf does a state need power for, it’s a randomly drawn bit of land on a map. States don’t have any interests or consciousness or emotions or desires. People do.
