The reason why smart tech, wearable tech (like apple watch, heart monitors, step counters, all that jazz) are everywhere in media where it's the future is probably because of automation, more resources, and cheaper labor costs. For automation and cheaper labor costs, I can't really go into that without being political, but I am against shafting workers who make these so that everyone can have these technologies at a lower cost. For more resources, we should probably mine some comets or something. I dunno. It's totally possible "we" have more than enough resources to make cheap smart tech, but I was thinking of it "we have TONS of these resources, so we can basically just give away this tech since it's automated and the process of making these devices is refined to a beautiful polish".

american democracy is baffling. numerous celebrities agitating people to "go vote" but in reality the president is chosen by the strict elite of 540 people in a country of 335 million people. whats the point to the endless flame war on the internet?

>>20638Don't forget lobbying, dark money funding, gerrymandering and voter suppression and the flaws of first past the post voting. At this point I think a lottery of a collection of a few hundred to maybe a few thousand people would be a better democracy than elections.

>>20638The US political system was inspired by Ancient Rome. The American “founding fathers” (tyrants), were obsessed with the Roman Republic. It’s no surprise that the US system suffers from some of the same social diseases that plagued the Romans: extreme elitism, unwillingness to reform, political polarization, leaders who do nothing, incompetents, dumbass bureaucrats implementing suicidal policies, arrogant diplomacy, celebrities becoming political leaders, moral degeneration, even the immigration panic resembles the Roman obsession with restricting citizenship so a minority could hold onto special privileges. First time a tragedy, second time a farce. They’ll have a dictator soon, but he’ll be less Caesar and more like Chris Chan.

>>20654I'm always amused by how little context or historical awareness can be incorporated into a rant like this. That said, I do agree that we're headed to emperor Chris Chan at some point.

No.20877
>>20876Gatekeeping is the process through which information is filtered for dissemination, whether for publication, broadcasting, the Internet, or some other mode of communication. The academic theory of gatekeeping may be found in multiple fields of study, including communication studies, journalism, political science, and sociology.[1] Gatekeeping originally focused on the mass media with its few-to-many dynamic. Currently, the gatekeeping theory also addresses face-to-face communication and the many-to-many dynamic inherent on the Internet. Social psychologist Kurt Lewin first instituted Gatekeeping theory in 1943.[2] Gatekeeping occurs at all levels of the media structure—from a reporter deciding which sources are presented in a headline story to editors choosing which stories are printed or covered. Including, but not limited to, media outlet owner and advertisers.

It's really annoying how the red jelly beans that are fruit flavored are so similar to the red jelly beans that are cinnamon flavored. Both are good but I wanna know what to expect! They should change the color or at least not sell them in the same bag

The more I play Touhou and follow Zun's little cult, the less I like it. But I will always appreciate the music and artwork fans make. Without them, Touhou would be just another piece of shovelware.
