Religion hasn’t had its time so much as it is rapidly evolving along with the rest of society.
Religion does not have to mean sky daddy or even have to imply belief in the supernatural.

Not an unreasonable interpretation!
Is it surprising that people might miss that, though? Especially if they don’t already agree with the antifascist message.
4 in particular I think is more open to interpretation based on ones existing biases than people seem to think. Being over the top doesn’t necessarily have to be mockery and authorial intent is peanuts to a random personwatching a movie.
The other points IIRC are individual moments rather than recurring themes. It’s not surprising to me that significant numbers of people overlook them.
Is it really that mind-boggling? ST has always seemed to me to read whichever way you are already predisposed to. How does everybody dying make it an anti-war movie? I would be shocked if the kind of person who believes in the good of a war machine were surprised that lots of people die in war.
Maybe my memory is a bit hazy, but the bugs actually annihilate a city, right? What is the human response supposed to be? The extreme nature of the government and military only come across as insane if you’ve already been educated about fascism. Desperate times do indeed call for desperate measures, which muddies the antifascist message in my opinion.
It’s a great movie, but anyone who thinks it’s going to change anyone’s mind from their preconceptions is fooling themselves.
What am I missing?
So if 401ks are bad because they incentivize gambling, what’s the alternative? You have a uselessly broad definition that seems to lead people only to a guarantee of losing purchasing power through inflation. Better guarantee a loss than “gamble” with strong evidence to support your risk I see.
Saying “the house always wins” about things like index investing is hilarious.
And the whole human body, brain and all, can run on ~100 watts. Truly astounding.
It’s not an assumption, I understand the risks. I know it will go both up and down. That doesn’t make it gambling. What on earth isn’t gambling in your eyes?
No, diversification makes it not gambling. Not all risk is gambling.
A highly diversified portfolio is the opposite of gambling. Don’t let the “traders” and crypto bros sour you on the power of conservative investing.
This is part of what I love about the Playdate.
In between waiting for new games from season one, don’t forget to check out all the cool free games and ports you can sideload from itch.io! I love the port of the original Celeste.
The playdate is not meant to replace an emulator and buckets of roms. It’s its own game console with lots of great new games made by passionate devs.
I’ve played more of the 24 pack-in games than I’ve ever spent time actually playing with the multiple emulator station consoles I’ve set up over the years. I love seeing what new games devs put out on the catalog, too. No in-app-purchases or any such BS, so devs just have to try and make a game that’s worth your couple bucks up front.
The creative constraints of the 1-bit color and limited inputs push games in fun directions too. The crank is amazing as an analog rotation input, which has been missing from game consoles since the early 80s. Steering and aiming with the crank is so fluid and intuitive that it really adds to immersion.
It’s not the kind of thing everyone’s going to get $200 of value out of, but if it happens to be up your alley its truly incredible.
Work Time Fun is a sort of strung-out Wario Ware that I really enjoyed back in the day. If you like minigames, trinkets, and grinding, then check it out.

Sign language is speech, it’s just non-verbal speech.
Oh D-VHS, we didn’t deserve you.
What ways do you mean? More than just expert-systems, I’d imagine.
Plus having any rendering engine have a monopoly is terrible for the web long term.
