Hypothetical question: SC comes to earth; what is their ridiculously circuitous plan to save us?
How would they help us out?

I’ve been to places with a similar feel. Uncomfortable, disgusting, incredibly sad. Man, I really hope we make it past this point in our history.
In the same way elf on a shelf was to get us accustomed to being surveilled on a daily basis.
I just watched Synchronic and was blown away. I really dig the time travel aspect and it’d be cool to see another movie where the character(s) travel not back in time not just within the past 100 years but back hundreds, even thousands of years. I’ve seen time travel movies before but none that touch the breadth of this one.
Reverse psychology. Tell Locke he’s no obgyn and he’s not cut out for this kind of thing. He’ll be so incensed at being told what he can’t do that he’ll do it super quick?
It takes place in the 1830s during the Indian removal act. In short, the US government deputizes a psychopathic Native American man known as the Weasel to hunt down and kill the remaining Shawnee in Ohio. This backfires for them as the monster they’ve enabled starts hunting down white people as well.
When I read this in 6th grade it sent me down the rabbit hole of government conspiracies; Tuskegee experiments, MKultra, cointel and the like. Definitely worth a read.
It’s toxic, vibes-based hogwash that negatively impacts decent regular people.
What were your thoughts? For me, I was struck by the opposing class perspectives, the regular working class people, I liked a lot (whether I agreed with them or not) I found them down to earth, warm and funny. Starting about 30 minutes in Tony talks to some rich gentry class people… and they stuck out like a bunch of sore thumbs. They were overly clean-cut/manicured with honestly WEIRD personalities and affected accents.

Edit: Yes, yes we all know Kirk Van Houten wrote the smash hit “Can I Borrow a Feeling.” He’s drunk as hell at karaoke, and he’s NOT singing his own song!
So I watched this movie last night and I loved it. Is it the best movie I’ve ever seen? No. Is the dialogue sometimes cheesy? Most definitely. However, I loved the story because it’s a bit rare nowadays. You don’t see many movies explicitly about class war anymore. Something else that seems increasingly rare these days is having a protagonist who’s just ‘some guy’, not a cia agent, not an fbi guy, not a merc, just an average man or woman struggling in a hostile world. And honestly I miss that. I miss the days of Bruce Willis playing the every-man action hero. And I miss Sci-Fi that makes a statement beyond spectacle and forgettable storylines.
I was just thinking how awesome it would be if he had a gritty backstory like Killer the Rottweiler from Half Baked.
Anything about alien societies with seedy underbellies- crime, gambling, drugs. Basically extraterrestrial cyberpunk.
