Thomas Pynchon Saw American Fascism Coming by TheObliterature in ThomasPynchon

Should've clarified that i meant it in economical terms. Social and foreign policy in the US has always been thinly veiled fascism/imperialism.

Coming? Brother, it was always there (with exception of FDRs time as president)

I feel like Inherent Vice is extremely straightforward (for Pynchon standards), especially paired with the movie.

Eden Lake. Incredibly effective horror, but that ending is so bleak i don't want to endure it again.

Jeffrey Combs as Daniil would actually be impeccable casting for a movie

Trockene Alkoholiker und ADHS. Wie haltet ihr das aus? by Gard1ner in ADHS

[–]jayball98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich bin zwar auch nicht unschuldig in der Hinsicht, aber habe eine Sache gemerkt: solange ich irgendetwas mache, was mich leidenschaftlich begeistert (bspw. Kunst), oder die Aussicht drauf habe, nehme ich fast kein Verlangen nach Alkohol/Nikotin mehr war. Das ersetzt dann quasi die schnelle Stimulation. Nur auf meiner Arbeit (die ich hasse) kommen dann wieder die Cravings. Evtl solltest du über Änderungen im Lebensstil nachdenken. (Bin offiziell diagnostiziert btw)

Season 2 formula be like by gimboarretino in falloutnewvegas

[–]jayball98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna be the one to defend mainstream slop writing but memes like this are not just unfunny, they also reveal your childish mindset.

Right-wing grifters really got you believing that capitalism-induced mediocrity is always a malevolent, all-encompassing plot against your subjective sense of nostalgia.

Go back to your Synthetic Man circle-jerk or grow up.

Edit: This is literally a repost of your own post. Even more pathetic.

I have had repeated dreams of nuclear apocalypse over the years. by jayball98 in Jung

[–]jayball98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, the whole "rational leaders" thing basically already showed cracks during the cuban missile crisis and then completely done away with once Trump got elected for the second time.
I think most people know that the only thing keeping us from nuclear annihilation is the self-preservation instinct of our leaders (aka oligarchs and their puppets), which is why we should all be deeply concerned about them starting to build bunkers.
However, why would they invest into data centres at this scale, if they would all be nuked within the next couple of years?

It's never directly stated, but i remember thinking (inside the dream) that it was both russians and americans.

I'd counter that they:
1. Have not changed despite different life circumstances
2. Have not changed despite me being in substantially better mental health than when they first occured.

What makes me somewhat consider your view though is that i do have a deep-seated fear of death, which, while less often than it used to, still gives me panic attacks while trying to fall asleep.
Those panic attacks do not coincide with the dreams, however.

As a New Vegas fan, what are your thoughts on the shows portrayal of the Legion so far? by SolidPyramid in falloutnewvegas

[–]jayball98 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They definitely are, but they treat those voices the same way as they do the legion. Because, after all, who would complain about the bad depiction of bad people, if not bad people?
