That’s honestly the takeaway I’m happy with. Annoyed that it happened, glad she didn’t double down.

The joy about stories is that audiences can disagree with the author’s original intent and find something different.
It can get annoying when the worst aspects are appraised. I remember reading the author of Fight Club hates it when people tell him Tyler is the character they appeal to the most.

I’m definitely one of those people who look at cyberpunk cityscapes and think, “That’s awesome.” Despite it being utter hell to live in and growing more angry with how car centric the USA is.

Kicked out from competing and failed businesses feels like desperation to me.

Reading her Wiki, I assume her fall to nazism was from desperation. Doesn’t justify it, but neat to see.

Honestly surprised they haven’t tried doing AI for accounting to be honest. At least, not have it be before art.

Reply to Poor sleep in middle age can have a negative impact on brain health, according to a study by researchers at The Australian National University by chrisdh79
As a child, I was frustrated because I thought adults were slow and didn’t understand anything.
As an adult, I understand why that’s the case.
