        Eh, I’ve done media analysis like this just to piss off a friend that felt the same way. Honestly it’s hilarious

        Yeah, why can’t he ignore the problems like us smart Stoics? Don’t think about it too hard, make brain sad UwU ~

        Edit: Please excuse me, there was probably a less childish way to express my disappointment. Humans have feelings and judgments and the desire to use those faculties too. Denying these leads to both deep individual and systemic problems. Problems which, we are prepared in advance to be numb towards, and apparently that’s okay? I disagree. Hard pass. Thank you for coming to my dumb comment. Take care.

    I do have to say with regards to monsters inc… were either resource “non-renewable”. I mean in honesty I’m always unsure of the economical value of say the scream extractor within the confines of the movie. I don’t think they really did a good job explaining the practicality of kidnapping kids vs the pop in and scare methods.

    It kind of strikes me as the matrix battery problem… IE capturing and providing life support for humans would seem to be a resource intensive process. Burning more energy and resources than one would expect to gain.

        yeah, the average power plant is one of the heaviest power and resource consuming devices in a given area. it’s still a net positive, but making energy and refining crude fossil fuels is difficult and expensive.

        Yeah well again though it’s about comparing it to say pop in and scare as the initial method. They never really gave a notable difference in say how many screams could be extracted per kidnapped kid per day versus say how many the door scare teams were making etc… So it’s difficult to compare the EROI between the 2. (and of course that’s ignoring the laughter method, as we can assume that’s discovery wasn’t made until the end of the movie).

        and that’s of course before factoring in the issues that simply would arrise from kidnapping sentient humans. IE a significant event of human children vanishing from beds would inevitably lead to a cross dimensional war.

      whats the point of the screenshot? Also this is very inaccurate. The comic has always talked about pushing for change and improvement but yeah trump vs harris you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to vote for the better option. Once the election is here its here.

        Maybe they’re building a tower of screenshots showing greater and greater negatives scores
