Wouldn’t work. The law clearly specifies the exact text, and it’s in English.

Jokes like this are why people say the word “Nazi” has lost its meaning.

How is Wingdings “easily readable”?

The text of the Ten Commandments … shall be printed in a large, easily readable font.

Comic Sans it is.

We’re going towards a dystopia…?

I mean…

Not with that kind of attitude!

No. They’ll integrate with Threads.

I initially read that as medieval management and now I cannot read it any other way.

Pretty sure that was a joke…

I think I’ve been lied to on the internet…

Not sure I’d chose to use the word “sweet” here…

When they reach the aspects of the game that they didn’t like they can just say “let’s skip this next part about CTF mode, because I signed a contract” and let the viewers deduce what they deduce.

Of course I know AI? Who do you think wrote this resume?

At least he didn’t try with a cylinder.

Ah, yes. Using an obvious lie to prove your point. This only works, of course, when you have some authority over the people you are trying to convince.

Just because it’s a bad idea doesn’t mean Musk won’t do it. On the contrary.

Verhoeven didn’t even read the source material. Starship Troopers (the book), is only fascist if you assume that anyone that’s pro-military is fascist. Heinlein was a very unlikely fascist, given that he was largely libertarian. The point of the book was that people needed to be directly, personally invested in a society for it to function; the bugs were a plot device that he used to flesh out his social concepts. It was closer to utopian than fascist.

I don’t think Starship Troopers really describes an utopia - the impression I had when I read it was that it describes a fascist regime from the inside. And when I say “inside”, I don’t mean a rebel that tries to fight the system from within. Starship Troopers gives us the point of view of a conforming citizen who has fully internalized the fascist propaganda he was subjected to.

Dystopian fiction tends to have the protagonist quickly figure out how bad society is (and when I say “quickly” I mean soon after the story begins - it’s possible for the character to have a long prior history during which they were completely devoted to the totalitarian rule). The reader and the author already know we are dealing with an evil government, so it makes sense to bring the protagonist up to speed and make them the hero who fights against the atrocities - or at least tries to survive them.

Rico is different. He had some doubts early on, but they are quickly crushed and by the time he finishes his training he remains obedient for the rest of the story. And it’s not like he’s unaware of the establishment’s wrongdoings - he just doesn’t see them as wrongdoings, but just as how things are. Or even more than that - how things should be. And the democracy-accustomed reader is expected to understand the horror of these practices, even through the point of view of a character who admires them.

And this, in my opinion, is Starship Troopers’ greatest and most unique trait. Something that franchises Warhammer 40k or Helldivers are too tongue-in-cheek to truly replicate.

Bunker fuel can’t melt steel arches.

Does it have proper roomscale VR yet?
