    The joke is that the OP grabbed pictures of old people with one superficial trait that matches the original characters. Two if they’re feeling lucky. Curly hair, a bandanda, effiminate hair (with miss-matched genders), a famous white dude with a vaguely similiar frown.

    The blatant everything disparity is the whole joke.





  • I’ll give you ‘satire’. But I don’t really agree with ‘critiques’. The lesson i got from the movie was “stupid people can’t really have empathy, so they just need to shut up and let actual smart people do the important work”, and also eugenics.

    If it was critiquing the modern corporate structure, it would have included actual critiques of the modern corporate structure, rather than a single poor idiot in charge of a big company who should have just let the smart guy fix it all for him. In short, comapnies as they are would’ve worked if only the smart people were in charge of them.



  • I had thought that another part of it was the levels of harm compared to the problem; getting pregnant is incredibly stressful and possibly harmful, up to and including death as a possibility. A medicine that can stop that but has side affects that are less harmful than pregnancy is a lot more palatable. Whereas, for men, the harm caused by pregnancy is zero, so any harm caused by the pill is weighed a lot heavier.






  • Honestly? Don’t do the whole switch, or even a big switch from a few services to another.

    Start small. Very small. Try doing just one service you rely on, like your images or music. Immich just announced their first stable release. I use navidrome for my music. Make sure to test these on a copy of your data, not your actual data.

    Once you’ve got one service working as you want it to do, then you can try your hand at another service. This way, you don’t get stuck trying to do everything all at once.

    It may be worth considering how much (if any) you want to spend at the start, too. That’ll inform your next immediate task; setting up basic backups for your data. A spare drive is a good start, but it may be worth keeping another one at your parents house, or similar.
