The reason movies and television were so much better throughout the '50s - '90s eras is because our society was far better and enjoyed more artistic freedom and competition in the market place. Plus the fact producers could not rely on full blown CGI and flashy special effects alone as technology was far more limited. This means they relied on good acting, hiring professional stunt actors, had to keep the story lines suspenseful and interesting and it overall made movies feel more human.

Oh God! (1977). A grocery store department manager, out of the blue, gets an anonymous note in the mail telling him to meet God at a specific address. When he does meet God he is told to spread God's message although not at all coherent or specific in detail. He is told by God to relay to his fellow citizens that God does exist and that the fate of the world was completely up to us, that we all have free will to live in peace or kill one another and destroy the planet, that humans have the right to make whatever collective decision we want because God granted us free will. God tells this man to sacrifice his lifestyle and career to spread the message to everyone including the use of journalism and local media broadcasting. Of-course reluctant and confused at first, God's newest disciple complies after some encouragement and proof, while causing chaos and embarrassment for his family life, risking his reputation and career, eventually leading to a big legal dispute and a court case as well.

Early Warning (1981). Based on a true story, without it being publicly disclosed as a true story, a cabal of international bankers conspire to take over the world and bring about a global technocracy that can track, trace and micromanage the world population digitally all under their iron clad control. When an investigative journalist infiltrates their headquarters and plants an audio tape to record their conversation and criminal conspiracy, they find out and kill the man. They later catch wind of a copy of the tape being circulated by another journalist, and his new girlfriend who gave him the copy aids him in trying to get the truth out without being found and killed by the international banking cartel.

Two good movies to watch back to back if anons haven't seen them yet. Completely different stories obviously but both focused on threats to human civilization. It is eerie how both scenarios are so based on modern fears today, a realistic plausibility. AI alien race visiting us? A globalist cartel creating a one world government digital surveillance prison planet for population control? Almost like these two low budget b-movies were actual warnings to humanity disguised as entertainment.

Obsession (2025)
A great movie that builds off of classic horror themes and one that took the world by storm by making half a billion dollars despite only costing ~$700,000 to produce.
Heart Of The Beast (2026)
A heartwarming film about a man and his best friend lost in austere conditions.
You Can See Everything (2026)
A look into the lives of psychotic scamming tiny-hat people.

lolol

At least for now AI is just a tool. It is a very advanced tool that will change the way people use the internet and utilities overall but it is still a tool, it can be used for both good and evil and probably will be used for both. Citizens will mostly use it fore creativity and art while militaries and governments will use it to spy on and murder people. Of-course this is always the result in human history sadly. Nothing will change, just the technology is all.

Lol. No it isn't.

> If I learn C/C++

Can't believe I'm saying this (I love C/C++) but if you're gonna do this, learn Rust instead. It's new and it's the direction things are going for low level programming traditionally covered by C.

I am more fortunate than most people honestly and for now, things are pretty much back to normal with some unexpected expenses that needed to be paid off this year. I still suffer from alcoholism and depression, although at least I'm only a night time drinker. I try my best to limit my curiosity of "happenings" and news. It does no good for my psyche or mental health. I am focusing more on how to better my own life while I still have that luxury. As for faith I only have faith in knowing this life doesn't last forever, my bad habits have caught up with me and I'm getting weaker as time goes on. It is amazing to see some 80+ year olds today that are still live and kicking in far better health than I am in. I assume it's the alcohol abuse over the years. Overall though, I am thankful, I know people who had it far, far worse than I do, some who are now homeless and/or no longer alive, some who took their own lives too. Life hasn't been too bad to me and that I am thankful for.

Hey man that's good to hear.
Hope your life keeps staying better anon. You deserve it.

>>80421
Thank you for the kind words, but I don't really know if I "deserve" anything more than I am just one of the luckier ones born into an upper middle class suburban life and never really had to worry about becoming homeless or starving on skid row over my binge drinking and other bad habits. I really do think it was far more luck for me having loving parents who had money than really deserving anything, that's the truth. I am thankful I got to experience life offline growing up with real experiences and relationships. I got to know what it was like skipping school and hanging out with friends as a teenager drinking beer and getting stoned, and crashing parties at night when sneaking out to get wasted and laid. The "good 'ol days" that newer generations probably do not get to experience much of anymore. It seems like today less and less people find the time to hang out, everyone is super busy, we are all getting old, and now have health problems while the world just turns to dystopiac shit.

I got laid off and ended up with a job x100 better doing really cool IT stuff.

Shouldn't die just yet!

If those were the best years of your live, then that is pretty sad don't you think?

we live in a society

It's fucking dead. Leave it buried. The assholes and glow hards ruined the user experience. It became just like 4chan after a while, trash. So it is dead, buried and I moved on.

I wonder what imageboards anons are using nowadays. Haven't bothered keeping up with 'em.

Hate to say this but your parents are setting you up to be a failure in life. They should be encouraging you to go outside, make some friends, get a job, etc. By the time I was 12 years old I started getting kicked out of the house and my parents told me to be back by dinner time. They did not let me just sit inside a room to jerk off all day, nor did most parents. I even knew some kids who had alcoholic parents and those kids WANTED to leave their homes as much as possible.

join the army, they need people with your skill set
