People can be around others without instantly becoming whatever the others are. You probably don’t know about being your own person though, clearly.

Yeah, I don’t think Spooner is identical to Elijah Baley, but I see they connect on the technophobe aspects, if nothing else. It’s been a while since I’ve read the books, in other aspects they’re probably vastly different.

Do people not like I, Robot?

I haven’t heard anyone personally that outwardly disliked it, I picked it based on the RT/metacritic score and me enjoying it despite that. I was way too young to remember fresh reactions to the movie when it came out.

Ah yeah, the Chuck Taylor reference, it was brief, but considering how it had been criticized it must’ve stuck out in how obvious it sounded. It’s at least a far cry from being Hawaii 5-0 tier, thankfully.

I, Robot, especially after reading the books. It functions as a combo of the books, but set roughly where the first book took place in, using a variant of the protagonist from the sequels. The robots taking over as they did, though, wasn’t really accurate, even just regarding the laws of robotics, but it worked for the movie’s conflict. In the books, they get a larger hold on humanity, but to help them go past Earth to become an intragalactic society. For a one-off, though, I can see the directions the movie took to give it that close-ended feeling. Also, the implications of robots and humans, and Spooner as a chracter were pretty faithful to the source material, IMO.

I do music, photography/videography, strength training, student too, but it started by being into tech (still am), it’s helped for doing music/photography greatly.

It’s very nice to see Solus back. I won’t be back there any time soon, as currently my Linux laptop isn’t in use (and is on Mint). I have a soft spot for Solus, though; it is the only distro not connected to Debian I’ve used as a daily driver. Hopefully the maintenance comes easier this time around, too.
