I just wanted a hot dog Apperantly A24 suddenly thinks they own all of the backrooms.

Many people have been reporting copyright strikes for backrooms fan games, textures, and other references on Google play, Twitter and other spaces. Apparently the company thinks if they make a movie that suddenly they own the source material that existed years before the movie was even conceptualized. For an idea of how ridiculous this is, it's like saying James Cameron owns the Titanic and every survivor's story because of the movie he made.

With how shitty the world is becoming at what point is it enough, it's literally 1984, can't have shit anymore, even decades old community internet creepypastas apparently.

For the election tampering, we cannot afford to have that happen even once, so it's straight to execution. Like a serial killer, you can't afford to ever have that person get out of prison, the danger to society is far too great.

As opposed to the danger to society in case of the government misusing the system to capitally punish innocent people they disagree with?

Right. Both sides say the other tampered, does everyone get executed?

There are people who would unironically say yes to this and they'd want to be the executioner.

You don't get to pick who goes in. Could be you and you don't get a say.

It wouldn't be my call in that world. It would always be the worst possible person no matter who tried to make it work correctly.

Sounds like easy pickings. Do you have any social media posts critical of the current party in charge?

There is your problem, there are 2 sides, not one trusted system.

It feels beyond fixing.

Until there are laws against lobbying and donations politicians will always just be for sale to the highest bidder anyway :(

More whores in politics than on OF

Good sentiment, doesn't matter in reality though. When totalitarians get control of government, they won' look back at being treated with kiddie gloves and recipropate the leniency, they'll send goons to gun down the undesirables on the streets.

Nah, in reality it's not like there is always a clear line between a perfectly functioning democracy and total totalitarian totalitarianism. Any roadblock preventing (or slowing down) execution of innocent people helps.
