  • The funny thing about apple is just how far they’ve moved away from Jobs’ “vision”.

    It was clearly evident when they released the Apple Pencil. Jobs hated Stylus’. one of the reasons he killed the newton, and a reason why the iphone/ipad never originally had one as he was quoted as saying “why would I need a stylus? I have 5 of them on my hand”

    I mean Apple is like a cult that worship a dead god who would burn current Apple to the ground and start over if he came back.


  • as far as dead name goes, and again this is debatable, it’s in reference to the characters no longer using their “Matrix names” in the “real world” i.e. Neo no longer goes by Thomas Anderson. People will reference the fact that Agent Smith constantly refers to Neo as “Mr. Anderson” thus constanly using his “dead name” in reference to Trans people being called their “dead names” after they transition.

    As far as the character goes the Wachowski Sisters have said that originally Switch was supposed to be a woman in the real world and a man within the Matrix but it got nixed by Warner Brothers as being too controversial for the time.




  • originally Switch was supposed to be trans but, you know, 1999 and it was too early for that as the Wachowski sisters stated. The red pill in the movie was literally modelled after the perscribed estrogen people that trans women took in the 90s (which makes the whole “red pill” thing today really funny). Theres’ also the whole “dead name” thing but that’s up for debate.


  • Well this is just absolutely untrue. If there’s a pool of people who want to work then someone will just give them a job? what kind of magical unicorn world are you living in? So in your world unemployment rates just…don’t exist or are a fabrication? those people are just lazy?

    If you got fired from your job and you couldn’t find another one, in your head, whose fault is that? yours? the mythical job provider who hasn’t blessed you with another?

    If I ran a business and was provided the option of hiring you or someone in another country for peanuts, I’d tell you to kick grass.

    But you want to work I hear you say! someone HAS to pay me to do something! nope, I’m not going to pay you, I’m going to pay this kid in India or his brother that just got off the plane half of what I would have to pay you.

    Welcome to the real world.
