Lol that really happened but much worse! Apparently in the late 90s in Europe an old guy was walking through a museum and went into a panic and pulled the fire alarm, yelling “bomb bomb bomb” and when he was arrested he explained to the police that the museum had a live bomb on display! They put a massive explosive shell on display with a live blasting cap in place. I guess no one at the museum knew how it worked and assumed it was already decommissioned but the old guy worked with those exact shells in the war, and he’s decommissioned a ton of them as well.. they’re always drilled out and a fake blasting cap is welded to the top as well as a few small holes drilled in the casing to prevent anyone from potentially trying to load or use it. They let him show the museum staff what to do and had the cap removed safely before having the shell picked up and replaced by the military. So yeah… we’ve put live munitions in museums before! What if there was an earthquake or someone knocked it over… idk that’s scary as hell to think one incident could’ve destroyed half the museum and everyone in it!

Also the whole fast food wars/cola wars were a thing in the 1990s. It was a lame PR stunt where various chain restaurants would try to one up each other with cheesy deals, including Taco Bell and McDonald's and Burger King and Carl's' Jr./Hardees. The director thought it would be funny if the most meek player, Taco Bell, was the one who won the fast food wars. Ha. That's the story behind the gag. Now in 2021, it looks like Starbucks would have won the wars (by not being McDonald's)..

one of my favorite elements of Stargate: Atlantis was the main villain, the Wraith, using stunning rifles and pistols. They had a great range and near 0 lethalities. I'm often surprised that futuristic ips lack something like them and even have dramatically violent police.

[@hetzer5926]

Yeah. You’d think some hyper advanced civilization would have been able to create a non-lethal weapon for law enforcement. It would be so much safer and a hell of a lot more efficient.

[@Grivehn]

For any future non-Stargate viewers: Said Wraith consider humans food, and feed on human life force. Thus, they absolutely do need to take everyone they can alive, so they can suck their life out later. A little better example from Stargate is the Zet. Its also used by villains originally. Its a pure stun weapon on first shot, and its meant to cause non-lethal damage. Now, for the second and third shots... less so.

San Angeles as portrayed literally could not exist without an effective law enforcement agency. The two basics must haves for a government is the ability to accrue revenue and coercive power.

[@edrees3774]

I think the implication, is that they had a very effective law enforcement agency when FIRST implementing their archaic and overbearing laws, but as things died down as acheiving their goals, the police forces as a result got weaker as it lost it's purpose

[@roseknuckles9894]

Well since 80% of prisoners come from single mother homes, simply policing reproduction should end crime.🤔🤨🤓🧐.

Therefore he concludes mister Friendly fills the same role and that without him, the rebellion would fall apart as well.

Voyager suffered from having too many cooks in the kitchen. Some episodes were fascinating and intelligent. Others were downright insane. One of my favourites revolved around a holographic town that a large amount of the crew were using to roleplay and generally just take a load off by pretending that their lives were smaller and simpler. Janeway all but drowns in the escapism and also has to make a choice on getting out of the space issue of the day or saving the escapism. She of course makes the right choice, then finds that one of the last bits of the sim is the part she was so dedicated in. She says her goodbye to it, and then bans herself from making any more modifications.

[@MrGorillafist]

​@@MagicalMasterI loved the concept of that episode but the fact that it revolved around a stereotypical, old, Irish village made me cringe. Gave me Darby o'gill and the little people vibes 😖. For context I'm Irish. American TV never portrays what we're actually like very well.

So I have a theory about the Taco Bell/Pizza Hut franchise war. I don't think that all Taco Bell restaurants are as fancy as the one we see. I just think that all restaurants are named Taco Bell.

Yes, it is stupid, and that is the entire point. Most people miss the fact that Demolition Man is an Action-Comedy, mocking the the ridiculous political correctness going on in the 90s, which really only came back around in the new Woke era. These things tend to go in cycles.

Coming to this after Cocteau m-d-k’d the fair use doctrine and still just watched it twice in a row. Hat’s off to you, sir; you’ve done it again.

One idea: Princess Ardala and the Draconians from Buck Rogers. Two idea: The vampire clans in Blade. They had great strategy but piss poor execution. Three idea: Skynet. Lotta screws loose there. Four idea: The aliens in Attack the Block Five idea: Megacity One in Dredd/JudgeDredd Six idea: Libria from Equilibrium. Sense Offenders!!! Seven idea: Jabba and the Huts Eight idea: Marleya of Attack on Titan (I had no idea that injecting people with titan juice and sending titans to an island would have consequences!) Nine idea: Cerberus from Mass Effect. Did they really think they could win? You could throw a few characters/civilizations in there as well.

its the year 2022 right now Can you guys tell me the next predictions ?

[@TheNecropolis20]

the movie shows a scene where theres a museum for Old Los Angeles it shows the city before the Super Earthquake , the big one destroyed it the earthquake comes by the 2030s , is it possible that the Big one is coming this year in 2022? is Los Angeles getting ready to be destroyed by a earthquake ?

people who make comments like this dont really understand the state of the world in either movie or the issues with the things they attempt to say or portray. but hey, you got to be totally unoriginal and do what amounts to copypasta - so there is that.

Idea for a future episode: Mega City One, from either the Judge Dredd comics or the DREDD movie.

[@terreliv]

I looked up what the 3 seashells even are, and here's some results: * Daniel Waters, screenwriter, says he asked another writer friend who told Waters that his bathroom had seashell decor * Stallone says it's "use two like chopsticks to wipe with the third" * Bullock says "several processes--#1, #2, and clean-up" and turned the question back on her interviewer

[@FalloutJack]

No, I agree. Taco Bell would NEVER survive against the big boys. (And by that, I don't mean Big Boys. I mean McDonalds and the like.) In the future, a homogenized worldwide eating establishment in our weirdly bland dystopian world would be more like Denny's.

[@xBINARYGODx]

how? no really - how is that government anything like any thing in real life? you dont like some other sides pc stuff, but you are fine with your side pc stuff - the movie uses the pc tropes of the 90's - nothing you think its new or worse today is really any different, you are just ignorante of the past.

@@chaucermcdoogle6011 That is why we need to deregulate a lot of business, don’t want monopolies cropping up and not getting destroyed.

[@anondabomb]

@A Velsen What have you been smoking and where are the fields. Companies have been massively burdened by over regulation these day, it isn’t even close. It is too the point that due to the high barrier of entry due to the government new businesses cannot get certified to do the work, it makes everyone grow poorer in the long run. So we need to remove the regulations that are designed to promote oligopoly or monopoly and give the small guys a fighting chance.

[@FaceD0wnDagon]

@A Velsen It's really quite important to distinguish between regulations of the process of day-to-day business, and regulations regarding anti-competitive practices. Big businesses are all for regulating how their goods or products can be made, because they can hedge out competition. They HATE laws that prohibit anti-competitive practices. Calling regulation of banks "business regulations" is kinda...inaccurate. In a technical sense, a bank can be a private business, but practically speaking in the USA right now, banks are heavily tied into the government.

[@That80sGuy1972]

I see Daddy D-Bag behind Simon as the guy who pretty much socio-economically reformed San Angeles in a post-world-disaster way who thinks he should be Big Daddy within its walls. I also see the world outside of San Angeles as so horrible, protected against by Daddy D-Bag's automated war machines, that nobody would willingly leave San Angeles. I can also see San Angeles existing with the Judge Dredd world as one of the "unknown pockets of civilizations" outside of Judge Dredd's home city.

[@rimurutempest4945]

This has got to be one of the most accurate vision of the future coming from an action film. Like it's shockingly close.

This is what happens if neoliberalism gets to its farthest extreme, All the systemic issues remain but its illegal to talk about it and everyone pretends nothing is wrong. The progressive ideas are given lip service to but the things they were created to solve remain. Corporate monopolies are enforced by state power and the labour movement is either co-opted or non-existent.

@@seekingabsolution1907 Our Democratic party is a collection of politically correct, "socially aware" corporate hacks; the Progressive movement has been coopted by dogmatic woke loonies that constantly yell at the far opposite side about their dogmatic loonies, while insulting the people in the middle for not being on their side enough. I even stopped calling myself a Progressive for a while, because I'm of George Carlin's line of thinking when it comes to political correctness - it's fascism disguised as good manners. Meanwhile, the Republican party has been infiltrated by conspiracy obsessed nutters, Christian dominionists, and white nationalists to the point that they're forced to either pay lip service to the crazies, or face censure and/or lose all hope for reelection. American politics is fucked for the foreseeable future.
