Will be funny if the actually change/revolution start because of this. Television losing their gods, this winter brand new panic: 'Darling I can't find anything new to watch on Netflix, bring me the letal poison pill".

Or people find other interests. It could go either way, I'll give you that.

Yep...other interests...after years of dependency on new series, movies and stuff. I see only crazyness ahead.

Authors waiting in the wings for just this moment.

Looking back, 1985-2015 was really the golden age of cinema. So many movies got pushed out during this time, many got forgotten and are still finding their audience. We could probably get by for at least 5 years just appreciating all the older stuff that most of us never got around to watching.

Man, I'm all full on apocalypse scenarios, and the one led by bored boomers has got to be at the bottom of my list.

You will see, this maybe looks not a kinda of big deal but not only boomers, every generation will suffer for this and not only for begin bored but mostly for let one be alone with toughts, out of enternament, in a fail world, thinking just to tomorrow, another day of work for make someone else rich, living wage by wage, without the idiocracy bless of mini-yoda on Disney plus.

Hopefully !preppers will have given it some thought.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !preppers@lemmy.ca

There's so many films/series produced already. If nothing new ever came out, you'd still have enough to last more than a lifetime.

Between this and the story about people being unable to afford food, we might be hitting the "bread and circuses" tipping point

Listen to the union president’s speech (forgot her name). What she says resonates with all workers. AI will be coming for other jobs next, most white collar roles can be impacted in the next decades.

Automation has been steadily taking jobs for decades.

One accountant with a bit of software can do what used to take dozens of more.

People only get pissed when it affects them.

The first bit of software I wrote at my job straight out of university reduced stock taking from 5 people over a week to two people in two days.

It's the way of the world.
