A movie full of historical inaccuracies. But it’s filmed about our modern-day times as if it’s from the future. The fashion is all over the place from the 60s to our modern-day style. There’s a little newspaper boy waving an iPad shouting: “Hot Take! Fresh Hot Takes!”, self-flying cars that look like they’re from the 80s. Everyone is typing messages on giant 90s phones. The moon-landing is constantly mentioned as if it’s a big deal in everyone’s every-day life because The Future Film-makers don’t understand that 50 years were a long time in the past too, meanwhile someone is like: “But we will never reach Mars” while talking directly into the camera. 

A woman is president of the United States.

knowing so many people who have been through really unspeakable horrible things and having a few bad things in my own past too, i think there’s nothing that is more commendable for a traumatized person than, like, being able to just….live and grow

so many people assume “oh if you don’t get a job/get married/go to school/etc youre not successful” but for a lot of people it’s an incredible fight just to keep going every single day and i’m really proud of those people for keeping on no matter how hard it’s gotten, because even if sometimes you take a few steps back you keep going forward on that path

even if you do nothing but like eat chips and play video games, for fucks sake youre not dead, and a lot of people seem to forget that, like, that can be an achievement in and of itself.

i dont want to say like “just give up on doing things like going to school” because it’s important to do those things if/when it’s possible for you, but if all you can do is take care of your health and keep fighting, then it’s something you should be proud of! so many people will try to drill into your head that if you’re not Being Productive nothing you do matters but if you’re just fighting to stay afloat then it’s in your best interest to focus on that and be happy with yourself for keeping your head above water

literally so many people would never be able to walk a mile in your shoes, so remember that next time someone gives you shit for having a hard time. they probably couldn’t go through what you have.

You’ve recently died and gone to heaven, only it’s not what you’d expected. Instead of white clouds and angels with harps, it’s a secret fight club where residents duke it out for fun.l, having spent centuries honing their abilities.
You’ve only just turned up, and you’ve been given a free bet on the day’s big match: Winston Churchill vs Walt Disney

some middle aged white dude who has never had a problem with his perfectly sculpted body in his life: Does replacing our flesh with metal and circuits… disconnect us from humanity? When you replace man with machine… how long does the soul stay connected?

literally anyone who has had a limiting physical condition, interacted with prosthetics or assistance devices: You really don’t understand the ‘Punk’ of Cyberpunk, do you?

Something a lot of early cyberpunk’s modern imitators don’t seem to grasp is that the reason early cyberpunk treats cybernetic modification with suspicion is because those modifications are often performed against the recipients’ will at the behest of state and corporate interests. It’s an explicit metaphor for the commodification of bodily autonomy under capitalism – and it draws a direct line to contemporary abuses of the same. It’s not by accident that the first chromed-out street samurai to grace the pages of cyberpunk literature is a woman.
