As a person who is hard of hearing, I fucking hate when TV shows/movies don't balance their goddamn audio. Like if I have to really crank it up to hear most of the show but then during action scenes it's ear shattering at that exact same volume, You Did A Bad Job at making your show accessible. What the fuck is the reasoning behind this decision. No I get it, you want to make the action POP, but you can do that without making it a fucking tense drag for hard of hearing people to watch your goddamn show

This brought to you by me checking out moon knight and nearly fucking scrambling for cover at the first gunshot cause it was so much louder compared to the rest of the show that it sounded like it was right outside my fucking apartment

Stop doing this. Action already pops because it's action. Don't make the rest of your show a whisper in comparison to the absolute fucking cannon that is the action. It's not that hard

What an absolute Chad, honestly.

Work is the biggest scam humans ever came up with. It necessitates heirarchical organization in the same way a pyramid scheme does. Without some people being better than others you couldn't force people to use the labour they should be using to advance their own interests to advance somebody elses and in capitalism this rigid caste system is enforced through the use of violence. Violent police domestically and Violent militaries throughout the hegemony.

Nobody should ever have to do any work they don't want to or feel like doing just because some rich guy can pay a bunch of thugs to beat us up if we don't work on the things they want. There is plenty of shit that has to get done whether we want to or not, but is it really building a new rocket toy for Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos? Nature provides lots of motivations for us to get certain things done, like growing food, but capitalism provides coercion based on artificial scarecity in order to manipulate us to do whatever dumb thing rich people want us to be doing often to the disclusion of our own class interests.

The time and resources we spend participating in this stupid pyramid scheme could be spent finding solutions to climate change or endeavoring to advance humanity, but as long as we are driven towards fascism by the lust for power over each other, we will never progress into a sustainable species.
