(I moved this post over from !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world because it fits better here)
I’m currently watching Futurama for the first time because i always kinda thought it was cool when i was younger.
I recognize now how much it sucks.
The major thing that annoys me is that it displays the world in the year 3000 as if people would still have to hold down a job to earn enough money to live. The idea of full-employment sickens me. In my mind, i exclusively do tedious things in the hope that some day, they won’t ever have to be done again. Like software development. Linux only has to be written once. Once functional, it basically lasts forever, or at least close to (only minor modifications need to be made, like adaptations to a new protocol or sth).
The very idea that people will still have to work in the year 3000 is very repulsive. It shows that society hasn’t matured enough yet. I hope this is not the future that we actually end up with.
Aren’t all opinions tautological by their very nature of being opinions?
Also, this IS NOT like “I don’t like chocolate because it’s chocolate”. It’d be like, “I don’t like chocolate because the idea of harvesting some weird bean in specific regions of the planet is foreign to me.” They have reasoning. Just because it’s ill formed based on personal shortcomings doesn’t make it devoid of reasoning.
In any case, this is a place for unpopular opinions. The opinion stated is unpopular. The rules say that should be up voted. Full stop.
If you want to play word games you can be “correct”
There’s an expert opinion, there’s an uninformed opinion, and then there’s a preference opinion.
I really don’t need to hear preference opinions. That’s how I feel.
