They should maybe stop making black mirror because seems like the world is just using it for ideas.

Politicians are trying to see how far they can push until it's no return

did you see yesterday's post?? the creator is basically was like, "yeah, this show isnt needed in this current hellscape" :(

[kawaiiairbender]

No I hate this. These robots are creepy

Not exactly but we have ring.

I have ring but I don't love it. ring is too close with law enforcement and the people are neighbors are awful. Like chill random people can run through your neighborhood

I bought an echo on sale but I never hooked it up bc I'm low key paranoid but is it worse than using Google?

Uff that episode was brutal.

Spoiler-ish alert but it made me ponder for a long time whether I felt that humans created the dogs, the machines had an uprising and produced themselves, or if they were alien/from another planet.

lol i thought it would b way cuter but then the pic loaded. i wouldn't call that a dog…

i got on the grid like 3 years ago when i found out paying taxes would earn me more money than not (it does!!) and i got a smartphone at that time as well bc y not and i def luv it. for the 1st year i wouldn't even turn on my location but now i'm like fuck itttt i'm in the system now. this type of stuff just assumes ppl r dumb and have to b controlled for their own good and i am NOT for that. ppl would actually #stayhome if the government wasn't so fuckin shady and evil that their first response is to disobey

[xtinkerbellax]

People disobey because they are immature and selfish, it's no different than a young child being defiant over something their parents tell them to do. People on an individual level can be smart, as a group humans are dumb as shit and I feel like have more than proven they can't be trusted to make responsible choices. I don't think Americans in particular would stay home, no matter what kind of government we had, empathy has clearly been conditioned out of a large chunk of our population.

[teenxwolf]

i totally agree w everything ur saying. and ppl have def proven they can't be trusted to make responsible choices, but i don't agree w increased technological monitoring

That's the Boston Dynamics dog, Spot
