For some reason the site botches up the link to the Amazon page.
I put it in the chat.
I can see it fine.

Been watching the brand new Black Mirror "episode" named Bandersnatch. Episode is between quotes because it's not the same as a normal episode. This one's interactive. It's rather intriguing really. Not the very best Black Mirror episode mind you, but decent enough, and the concept of choice itself makes it interesting. It's on Netflix.

Hi!
I usually try not to get involved in these sorts of things, but YJ there is no way to respond to your post without violating the CCPG which says:
No overt political or religious commentary is allowed as thread topics. Political discussions or religious discussion is only allowed in the context of a show or a movie, and must not deviate into general politics or religion.
Politics = discussion of government systems, government officials, national conflicts, real world military operations, systems or weapons
Religion = Anything Biblical, Islamic, Jewish, or other specified religious discussion not related directly to a show or movie being discussed here
Run-arounds will be addressed on an individual level (ex: intentionally posting a thread about a religious or political movie just to open the thread to disallowed topics).
Any threads or comments in violation or reported and found to be in violation will be brought to the attention of the commenter/thread starter, and if necessary, deleted.
OM, how do you want to proceed?

One isolated post which is quickly followed by non-political posts? 100% acceptable.
ok, i'll make it smaller and re phrase it
there are political one off's throughout this thread
YJ, your post is inappropriate for this thread or any thread on the open forums at GateFans. It is overtly political, and thus is not allowed under the CCPG. I read the linked article, and I do not see anything in it which would remotely be non-political. Please delete it. Thanks.
There is nothing in it that can be paraphrased and made non-political. The topic is 100% political AND religious at the same time. It will not be allowed to remain, sorry. You can post this in the Romper Room, but not here.

funny
so many political one offs throughout this thread-you even said 'one post is ok' but no one says a thing until now
no problem
just expect the same handling of anyone else the next time they put up a 'political one off'

You don't see how your post is different than the one offs? In those one-offs, it is like putting something on the table, but it stops with that thing on the table. Your post is not just putting a thing on the table, it is opening a door to a political discussion. There is nothing non-political about the topic you chose, and it has nothing to do with anything entertainment related or of general interest. It is "overtly" political:
o·vert
/ōˈvərt,ˈōvərt/
adjective
- done or shown openly; plainly or readily apparent, not secret or hidden.
"an overt act of aggression"
synonyms: undisguised, unconcealed, plain (to see), clear, apparent, conspicuous, obvious, noticeable, manifest, patent, open, blatant
"an overt attempt to sidestep the truth"

“If you’re in space, it’s like you’re making a call via Houston, first you dial the 9 for an outside line, and then 011 for an international line,” Kuipers tells NOS, according to Google Translate. “I made a mistake. The next day I received an email message: did you call 911?”
