Keanu Reeves Predicted 5G Corona
This week, we're in the Super Chaos Configuration: Riley is gone but you have the rest of the cast. Milo, Hussein, Nate, and Alice review the 1995 Robert Longo film JOHNNY MNEMONIC, an adaptation of a William Gibson story that, uh, did not achieve its goals. And yet it's also weirdly accurate in some ways: posting destroys your brain, there's a global pandemic, corporations rule with an iron fist. And yet somehow we haven't yet encountered a cybernetic hacker junkie dolphin. If only.
We make reference to the Fetischpro video from YouTube, which you can see here -- it is definitely not work safe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbgJck9kUGc

So what you're saying is this configuration is basically the French immersion cohort in my school that was too small to ever be split into more than 1 class until grade 7 when they bullied their teacher into taking personal leave and the 2 subsequent substitute teachers. Absolute legends.
Hell yeah! Chaos configuration initiate! 馃榿
I think Alice is on to something with the Evangelion/Trad guy connection. A guy I knew in high school got really into trad monarchism and he regularly posts the most deranged, red-pilled takes in between horny posts about Misato stepping on his balls,
