12 Monkeys (1995)

Paradox (2016)

Both of these movies deal with time travel, I know that is a turn off for some people.

There is a fun theory that AI will become a god, a vengeful one which will punish everyone who didn’t participate enough in its creation.

It looks like it’s not a thing anymore due to various factors. However there are some clips available.

In education there are self-directed learning centers that follow agile principles with some of the features of SCRUM.

He will just turn it around on how the DA is doing the bidding of the Biden regime to try and take him out because everyone knows he like money and people know what it’s like when the government tries to take more money from you than they should and that is what Biden is trying to do. But we’re not going to let him. You fine patriotic are going to make sure it doesn’t happen by giving to the true patriot fund.

Like that’s their entire point, the dissemination of information freely.

Yes.

The logical conclusion of libraries is piracy anyway.

Not really. Libraries function within the constraints of licensing. They buy physical copies of materials and license digital copies.

With libraries the content creators (and yes distributors) are still being paid for their works AND information gets to sprees freely.

I’d argue that libraries are superior piracy.

Maybe if the person who’s actions are being protested against are reasonable. When protesters are met by military forces and detained in trumped up charges of terrorism, then they don’t work until there looks to be consequences for the person/group being protested.

As a rule of thumb if you have the military on your side protests get crushed. Look at Egypt for an example of what happens once the military gets involved.

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Blair_Mountain](The Battle of Blair Mountain) is a good example on the US end. Striking US mine workers crushed by the US military on US soil. You could argue that it was one of many events that led to labor protections, but it wasn’t the inviting event and those protections came more than a decade later.

Since this is in nostupidquesrions and not a piracy community I’ll offer a different take:

Try your local library for physical copies. Depending on your library system, it may be free (or low cost) to have copies sent from other branches. Again depending on your system it may be possible to get copies from libraries outside of the system through Inter Library Loans (ILL) if your library participates.

Also library systems may have access to some streaming content, depends on your system. Some large cities, like NYC, offer library cards to everyone in t the state.

Tangentially related, the Internet Archive also hosts tons of material you might not find anywhere else. Probably not what you’re looking for, but I’ve found things like Mister Rogers episodes there that aren’t available on Amazon or DVDs. Quality of content may vary and you’re more likely to find older content there.

A former roommate of mine had a DVD he had gotten from a friend who got it from a film festival. I believe it was Dreamscape but I haven't been able to find a copy to confirm this actually it.
