something has value because it is sold for a lot? Seems weird. If I sell a turd for 2700$ the turd has "value". At what point did it get that value? when someone buy it, or the moment I put it on the shelf on my shop?
If he got caught, the drone was probably really spying on him

x is not open to non x users! So it is a no no
Plus using the competing platform bandwith is the better form of warfare anyway
Being on the wrong side of history on the same topic 75 year apart
The fact that the greatest nation on earth had such dumbass actors presidents, is the only proof I need for the existence of the Illuminati, and their desire to pupeeteer some tv-personality they put on the throne
I didnt know about that. This is a bit scary to be honest, and the first time I feel a bit taken aback with lemmy
The worst part, is even when you try to avoid, you cant.
You send an email from proton, to mostly gmail account, now they have your email.
You mean your business, the guy next to you talk to google home, and you get recorded.
Every time I 'm forced to use a google account by some 3rd party, I get a panic attack from how predatory it is to get you to give them your data, you cant log out without 4 clic, it is a true dystopia we let that compagny rule our world
And I dont get why Avatar from Cameron was not sued.
in 1979 Herbert and Ranson wrote "The Jesus Incident ":
A planet named Pandora habited by violent various beasts
The human survive in a Colony and cant barrely go out, because of the wild life.
The whole planet is covered by an entity protecting the planet it is named: AVATA. who comunicate with blinking light.
There is a scene, where one of the main human run around the human camp folded by many monster.
To survive on the planet, the human created special Clone with better reflex.
The Clone were badly treated and rebelled against the Colony
And Arrival by Villeneuve (or the book it pretend to be from) Is bit for bit from the novella :"Try to remember" From Herbert.
Aliens try to communicate to humanity.
Some woman manage to do understand their language.
But some military try to smugle a bomb in the alien ship.
Like every meeting should have been an email, every youtube video should have been a blog post
The library is usually empty. Most bar also close from time to time, so you can go sit there, read a book, watch a movie, play a game on your computer, or whatever activity you enjoy. And be alone for hours.
Running, walking on the threadmill while watching the sea is great, and the sport salle is never full... the sauna, not so sure.
Go explore the working quarter on the under belly of the beast. Most people will assume you're just some family member of a worker and let you roam and get lost all you want.
Remember the food is good, and you will never sleep as well (or as bad, if it is not your stuff) as on a large ship cruising slowly on the ocean
Your parents spend lot of money, just so you can enjoy something they find very enjoyable. It can not be your stuff, but they care about you
Loved the books and read them multiple time from Dune 1 to "Chapter House". Even try one from the son of Herbert, and it was utter shit.
Knowing the books make the movie more enjoyable...
But you realize how much is missing. The most badass stuff are left out
spoiler
The plan of the baron with Raban and Freyd. The intricacy of fight with Luke and Freyd. And.. omg, The Feenring couple, the master killer of the emperor who could be a kwizatz too! And the awesome Leto Mentat is completely left out...What the movie created: a religious vs science subtext, which give Chani a more interesting character than in the book where she is just a blank love interest. And they did dirty to the mother of Luke, but it is a very nice interpretation.
