I kind of thought this was the joke. Many many dystopian plots are about governments ran by corporations and filled with foreign spies.

The onion was overshadowed because it stuck to an old media style and had a clunky adaptation to the internet. They've got good content now with things like Click Hole and some YouTube content but it was many many years of trying to be an online newspaper and nothing else. The saving grace of The Onion and why it's able to come back as strong as it has been is that it's the holy grail for comedy writers so it still gets the best writers in the business.

This joke is a pretty good punchline but you would need more setup. Mom working at a sex change clinic is a good start but you need a reason to make the pun make sense in both senses.

I don't think it is a subcategory I think it's the term you're looking for.

The actual phrase has its origins in a financial sense but the way it's used nowadays is much more broad. You can invest time, money, emotion, identity etc and it's still the "sunk cost fallacy" if it keeps failing and you keep going.

"it could never happen here"

Until it does

Then all future historians look back and say

"How sad they couldn't see the writing on the walls even when it was so plainly obvious. It's an indictment on that society as a whole that there were no armed revolutionaries fighting against the fascists when they started making moves in the mid to late 2010s."

This will only be good if they take the premise and completely mess with it. Or if it's a completely different genre from the first season that follows up on some of the threads the first season left.

The first season was a strong, tight story whose whole plot served an argument that was completed at the end of the season.

I guess all I'm saying is I hope it's not a cash grab.

Facebook does the same thing. If you have good tracking protection/ad block it will even make you type slow.

I guess technically that's multi-million...

It's probably the game that has the most disaffected centrists playing it.

Damn that sucks. It's so arbitrary.
