You mean choosing whether to live with purpose or just continue to exist?
You have never dated a punk. You have never been in love with anyone adapted to poverty who had any sense of adventure.
You’re an odd morpheus.
The Matrix is a trans allegory. Living in a cave and eating slop is an allegory for being fired because of transphobia.
Still worth it.
I’ve heard this, but, my estradiol is a blue pill? 🤔
Big pharma ruined the metaphor by changing the pill colors.
The blue pill was an antidepressant, the red pill was estrogen.
Also the main villian is a man in a suit who constantly deadnames the protagonist. The matrix is real life.
The Matrix hits different once you realize everything was humanity’s fault
“<film> hits different once you listen to what the characters say” is truly a take

The Matrix would have been better if there had been a stronger incentive to leaving the Matrix. It’s still a great film though.

I remember his office from the movie. It was not comfy.
He had his own cubicle. Better than any of the “open plan” offices I spent years working in.
That’s the fun part, in that time, cubicles were seen as terrible, dystopian, cheapass things because folks used to have offices, and how much cheaper could it really get than some flimsy modular furniture for you to sit at?
Then the companies gestured to just some tables in a room and said “figure it out, and no assigned seating, so just figure it out each day” to show how cheap and how little regard they have for the employees.
At this rate, I fully expect in the next few years for the next wave in office space optimization:
