That’s fair, and to add onto that Ryan did have a self destruct button in his office that would wipe out the whole city.

On the other hand, though, Fontaine and Lamb both rose to power despite Ryan’s head start on authoritarianism.

Rules require enforcement which requires people coming together to form a consensus and outfitting and maintaining the livelihood of enforcers, which is NOT ANARCHY.

Who is gonna stop them?

My take on Bioshock is people became mutants and started killing each other because there were no laws or regulations aside from “you can’t stop others from profiting.” It was legal for them to become mutants. It was legal for them to weaponize and arm themselves before the inevitable revolution / civil war of Rapture. The closest thing to a law enforcer was the big daddy and he does NOTHING about the hordes of cannibalistic telepathic monsters. You know why? Because there are no laws against what they’re doing, the daddy was only made to protect the little sisters who produce profit for Fontaine.

Bioshock is steampunk scifi but it’s also anarchism in it’s truest form. People built whatever they liked, and they destroyed whatever they liked, and when violently mutating psychoactive drugs were introduced the latter succeeded over the former.

It’s possible that they’ve blocked you and the instance isn’t set up to allow moderators to see people who have blocked them.

That’s normie stuff, I wish more people appreciated High Voltage and Jessica Dresses Like a Dragon . And McDonaldzzzz .

Rediscovered Feint recently, they have some good songs.

Also noticed Electric Six Synthesizer got a 2025 remaster.

TBF the cutaway could totally exist and just be hard to find in 23 seasons and counting, especially with the amount of content differing between the Adult Swim airings, the Fox airings, and the steaming services.

Oh yo, it got an anime?! Lots of people are going to cry when big boss dies in front of his daughter.

I’m sorry,

What was the question?

I might even motion to have Lasagna classified as either a loaf or a hot dish instead of including it as a pasta at all.

Spaghetti. Once cooked and with sauce and protein most people might not even notice the difference.

You can put it into the macaroni category or call it Bowtie. If you wanted to give me a harder one then Lasagna would have been a good choice.

I at least split it into categories like Spaghetti and Macaroni.

The top caption however subtracts value

Did the EU suddenly develop a tech industry overnight or are you unaware where all the major AI companies are located?

Academia literally got cut by more than a third and Microsoft is planning to revive breeder reactors.

You might think academia will work on the problem but the people running these things absolutely do not.

Hard to tell if that pushes them closer to or further away from authoritarianism, tbh

I take it they denied your request for lab use again?
