A tip if you’re used to old reddit and use desktop, check out old.lemmy.world. It as a dark mode like reddit enhancement suite adds to old reddit, and everything is exactly where I expect it to be based on my reddit experience. Since you’re already using a lemmy.world account, it’ll just work for you straight away.
Oh and also, you’ll see that you can list things as “all,” “local,” or “subscribed.” You can pretty much ignore local, and use all or subscribed as your main page.
True. Google has good regional prices and pays creators more than some other streaming services. By not blocking ads I support both platform and creators. Furthermore, creators in my country get more money from premium viewers than from ads.
This episode made me watch all of Black Mirror, and let me tell you it didn’t stand up to this one. Watch White Christmas episode and you’re good. Maybe add San Junipero, this one is really good too and it’s more optimistic.
I’ve watched White Christmas too after hearing so much about it, and that, my friend, was the final nail to the coffin for me. Anymore Black Mirror and I’m going to cry.
I’m a huge fan of sci-fi and I do love myself some sci-fi horror, like those in Love, Death & Robots and the German series Dark, but even Dark is nowhere as dark as Black Mirror is. The difference being Black Mirror is entirely focused on showing you the darkest side of human nature. There are no redemptions in most of the stories. No typical hero journey, no light vs dark narrative; just shit going from bad to worse to nightmare fuel.
If there’s one thing you can take away from the entire series, it wouldn’t be “Technology is bad”, but “Humans are fucked up”.
Black Mirror is just so unrelentingly cynical about human nature. I watched the one with the lady whose memory is removed and “normal” people delight in following her and recording her, and it’s all a big production to punish this women for doing a pretty fucked up thing.
Every episode seems to just say “aren’t human beings the worst?” The sci fi is interesting sometimes, but I can’t really go through life believing that humans would behave like they do in that show.
I liked the last season. It was something to watch any way.
It was not Black Mirror though. I don’t know what the hell they were thinking. That first episode kind of followed through and then it was all downhill.
Again, I liked it. It wasn’t too terrible. It wasn’t what I was expecting and that disappointed me.
Well, the two episodes really worked now that I think about it. The astronaut episode and the quantum computer episode.
Ok now that I’ve typed it out, if you haven’t seen it just watch those two and forget the rest.
