Comrades...I can't...I just can't. When I heard that they gave trump a "golden pager" I assumed it was some kind of statement that they had a direct 1:1 line of communication or some shit. My jaw hit the fucking floor when my coworker pulled the image up. What disgusts me so much about it is there's actually real artistic thought and visual symbolism behind this "art" representing one of the most grotesque pieces of state sponsored terrorism in recent memory. The Tree trunk clearly represents not only the explosion of the pagers Mossad used but also, along with the pager at the center (the gold being an on the nose representation of Trump) is a twisted symbol of the seed they have planted together for what is to come in the region.

This is straight up comic book, captain planet, final fantasy insanity villain level shit. I fucking can't.

Once they completely solve the burn in problem with OLED, assuming they haven't already, I honestly genuinely don't know where they actually are gonna go from here. Even for gaming (VR not withstanding): 4k HDR+ @120hz is already more than what 99% of the market could ever genuinely want (let alone need) and if you genuinely are that top 1% of prosumers you are almost certainly more invested in a dedicated desktop monitor than a giant TV. For movie/tv watching experiences we're already well past what most content can even handle since nearly everything even at the highest budgets in Hollywood is mastered with a 2k digital intermediary before they upscale it and I don't see that changing anytime in the near future. I'm not sure if it did, with how far ahead TV is of the source content, it would even matter.

Nobody needs 8k. I don't even mean most consumers don't need 8k. I mean even most prosumers or video professionals don't need 8k, let alone 16k which the new HDMI 2.2 spec supports. Its a dead end.

Genuinely: whatever level of media consumer you are I don't think you'll be able to tell much difference if any between a panel released this year and a panel 10 years from now. Its all just quality of life updates and gimmicks from here on out.

I think if you're a 20 year old who wants to fuck a 40 year old that's fine. I think if you're a 40 year old who wants to fuck a 20 year old....well...that's not a crime but....that's kinda gross.
