yeah but you get to fly and wear cool sunglasses and overcoat.

That and Carrie-Anne Moss is the trifecta.

This is not a novel perspective, it's like Cypher's whole thing

Hey, you just described the process of transitioning in the United States. Imagine that.

He doesn't work 8 hours plus traffic jams every day though.

Active social life

I feel attacked

the image is supposed to be depressive. idk why but i feel comfort and miss for those times.

Neo you’re in the double Matrix, it’s just endless goo and tubes Neo!

Bro is surrounded by the things that bring him comfort, gets invited to social gatherings by contacts from his side hustle, but green filter so everything sucks

I'll take goo and tubes over this shithole timeline.

Coping mechanisms can bring comfort, that's true. My view is they were tools to create the alter-ego, Neo, which felt to him like a truer representation of himself than the matrix offered when he followed the rules. He also uses them to endlessly search for answers to why he feels like something is wrong with the world -

I know why you hardly sleep, why you live alone and why, night after night, you sit at your computer. You're looking for him.

His normal reaction to a party invitation is to say no, which he did, until he saw the white rabbit. The only reason he went out was in the pursuit of answers.

To visually distinguish between the real world and the matrix, the filmmakers gave scenes inside the matrix a green tint, a la the old school green tint of Neo's command line.

I'm not being argumentative I just feel the need to discuss the finer plot points of the matrix in a shitpost. It's just my programming...

You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize?

Ignorance is bliss.

You know if we're being real that's probably true. I keep forgetting the trans interpretation because it wasn't considered when the film was produced but it fits perfectly in retrospect.

I like to assume that he got invited in the first place by being the sort of person who would get invited normally but that probably wasn't the case.

Don't sweat it, you make good points

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

The green tint was used to make clear that Dorothy Neo was neither in Mexico nor in Kansas.

Agent Smith can't be very smart though if he never heard about that island with all the reindeer.

Matrix multiplication biiiiiitch

Interesting story, but I wouldn't call that truly nature since humans put them where they never would have existed otherwise.

And more and more with each day that passes! It's meme-ception, all over again! 🤪

how did morpheus's glasses stay on??
