  • Werckmeister Harmonies (while it has a plot, it comes at you slowly)

    Hard to be a God (2013) (the most minimal of plots in a sense)

    The Greasy Strangler (closest movie on the list to Napoleon Dynamite in feel)

    The Lighthouse (2019)

    All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)

    Stalker

    Waterworld? At least that’s the impression I got as a kid.

    My list is kinda a specific interpretation of ‘slow and with minimal plot.’



  • When I was homeless I littered in the city. Being homeless around poor people is like being poor around billionaires. You have no pride in keeping their lands pristine. The upper class hits you with their cars, block crosswalks, talk shit about you, provide no accommodations. The upper class acts like it’s a fucking pain to help you and they attribute every little problem to your class.

    But also, the city installs trash cans spaced 15-20 minutes apart, while allowing garbage piles to stay on corners for days or weeks.

    I think it was probably the third or fourth time a poor person nearly hit me and reacted angrily like I fucked up for using a crosswalk at 6am, that I went from keeping trash in my pockets and thinking ones actions reflects on them, to throwing trash on the ground and denting cars when they narrowly avoided hitting me. (As an aside, it sucks when you kick their side mirror and it just folds instead of breaking.)


  • Firefox used to have a “we’re a browser that won’t sell user data” promise. Then they changed their TOS and removed the promise, adding:

    When you upload or input information through Firefox, you hereby grant us a nonexclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that information to help you navigate, experience, and interact with online content as you indicate with your use of Firefox."

    When people reacted to their TOS they said it was an accident, it’s just boilerplate, don’t take it seriously.

    Or in other words: an entity with a team of lawyers claimed ownership of all your data, and then downplayed it, and then has acted good since.

    Personally I stick my head way into the alligators mouth and still use Firefox.
