I remember his office from the movie. It was not comfy.

He had his head own cubicle. Better than any of the "open plan" offices I spent years working in.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

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:

You mean choosing whether to live with purpose or just continue to exist?

Neo was powerful. I wonder if he could have gained the same abilities, without the help of Morpheus, throughout his time in the matrix. Were he able to do so, he could have lived a nice life inside. I guess Neo felt a higher calling to free mankind or something, so he left... or maybe Morpheus just didn't tell him the whole picture before offering the pill. Morpheus probably needed a powerful warrior and just rolled the dice on Neo, deciding to not exactly paint the whole picture.
Anyway.. had I known the whole picture, I'd have stayed inside.

Morpheus was just terrible at explaining. From xkcd

why have slop in reality when you can have steak in the matrix... whatever the Simpsons said.

exploring the matrix would be cool

exploring the matrix would be cool

I hear it was based on the earth.

Better than a soul crushing office job

Yeah but at least I'm part of an armed resistance trying to win back their freedom.

Red pill side effects include cave raves, bad clothes, and new zionism

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 63 points 10 hours ago

yeah I mean that was one of the themes explored in the film

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 53 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] toofpic@lemmy.world 24 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The Matrix is a Rambo 3 remake. Living in a cave and eating slop is an allegory for shooting explosive arrows into a bridge.

Still worth it.

Yeah, but what is the blue pill for?

It lights blue.
