They should eat each other. It's the only ethical choice.

It sets a context for people unfamiliar with 4B.

Most people outside of Korea won't be familiar with its internal politics, but anyone with the most basic education will know what Lysistrata is about.

Bots ain't users, spez, you greedy little pigboy.

TL;DR:

Modern actors are incompetent self entitled imbeciles with no theatre training whatsoever who mumble their words because they think it sounds cooler.

Directors are incompetent self entitled imbeciles who believe unintelligible dialogue is more realistic, but also that drowning it in way too loud music makes the film more emotional, that sound recording equipment gets in the way of filming and should be kept as far away as possible from the action, and that if they know what the script says (because they've read it a thousand times) so will the audience.

Producers (and the aforementioned actors and directors) are cheap lazy incompetent self entitled imbeciles who'll refuse to film another take claiming the useless shit they just filmed can be fixed in post (it can't, it's shit).

Theatres fired all competent projectionists and are now manned by lazy incompetent untrained teenagers who have no idea how to properly operate and set up the sound systems and will more often than not play the films at the wrong volume.

Streaming sites overcompress and overprocess (and overprice) the audio into an even more unintelligible noisy mess.

“Smart” TVs overprocess it even more on top of that, making it even worse. And you're probably using the wrong settings anyway.

In short: the audio is intentionally crap, becomes even crappier in every step between filming and your ears (except, according to people working in sound processing, the sound processing step, but there's only so much you can do to fix crappy digital audio).

Look, we're talking people who call ninety-nine “four twenty ten nine”; you can't expect them to name things properly.

It's already dead. r/wholesomememes decided to allow only original content (no bots or reposts), and, after two days the only post was one begging human users to post anything original.

There are no users left. It's bots all the way through, like maggots in a rotting corpse.

He could still be shot from behind. To be safe he should have bulletproof glass on all sides. Also above and below, to account for drones and communist molemen. And make sure it's airtight, in case someone throws toxic gas at him.

What is it with humans and eating, smoking, or drinking any kind of leaf, seed, or other vegetable that has evolved a deadly toxin to avoid being eaten..?

“You know what, this tastes a bit bland, let's add some insecticide to it to make it spicier!”

Amateurs. You don't spray paint them, they'll just clean it off.

What you do, is place a stencil with “fuck Elon” on them, spray rust protective clear lacquer over the general area, and remove the stencil.

They won't notice until the next time it rains, when the words will show up in bright rust orange, much more harder to remove than any spray paint, and much harder to trace to you.

Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld's wizards are sort of like this, at least once Mustrum Ridcully becomes archchancellor, and especially once they built their magic Rube Goldberg style supercomputer Hex.

Sir Terry Pratchett said, regarding fantasy:

“J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it’s big and up close. Sometimes it’s a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it’s not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji.”

I think pretty much the same can be said for Herbert (and before him Asimov) when it comes to science-fiction...

(Reading the article, though, it seems Herbert might have been a bit more of an arse about other authors being influenced by him than Tolkien or Asimov ever were...)
