Gotta love being in the ‘The president from idiocracy is more qualified than many world leaders’ timeline.

To my undertstanding it invokes a particular steriotype of a bunch of white people living trashily in a trailer park, usually while thinking they’re better than everyone else.

Agreed, a lot of sci-fi infastructure is technically feasable its just the logistics and our lack of organisation as a species that gets in the way. We could also technically start on a dyson swarm and a lunar space elevator (not an earth one though) with modern technology and materials.

Given the answers we know they want this should be a pretty profitable business.

Done, and my entire company infastructure is a raspberry pi.

There are sites that will literally just connect you to random cameras all over the world that are hooked up to the internet with no security except obscurity and hope. Wouldn’t be surprised if these drones start showing up on them.

Idk fired is still too much culpability, how about ‘Struck by bullets in incident involving police drone’

It occurs to me that generally speaking, the majority of people are good and don’t try to accumulate power beyond their needs, while bad people are few but accumulate as much power as possible across multiple generations. Perhaps the half-life of a given empire or civilization is just how long it takes the few to accumulate enough power to fuck everything and cause a reset.

Super hearing, to the point of echolocation (Which apparently some blind people can actually do in a very basic form as a learned skill!?)

To be fair there is one personal trait that’s really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.

Pretty sure even that wouldn’t work? Once inside all directions become further in, or all futures become further in, or some bullshit like that.

And cybernetics that won’t play adds in your brain until you have a seizure!. Seriously settings like cyberpunk and shadowrun are starting to look good by the standards of what we’re heading for. (Shadowrun is also old enough that you could actually just barely survive on a part time job without sharing an appartment even in the dystopia)

For $1000 you could get a small furnace for cintering, a regular 3D printer and some of that special PLA that has metal powder in it that you can print and then cinter into a solid metal piece (The PLA bakes off) and just make the fucking thing yourself.

So windows is going to take a screenshot every 5 seconds and give it to a nazi robot?

Orrrr (and this applies to most western countries in the near future too) they could maybe kinda consider not creating conditions in which its fucking impossible to have kids?

I’m not saying its a good reason, just a reason. We could easily afford it if we took some of that magic money that goes into military funding blackholes or magical infastructure projects that never get built yet somehow break records on cost. Sadly the decision is being made by people with no sense of empathy or value for human life.

iirc one of the issues is that even if things go perfectly on a military front no one is quite sure how to handle and de-program/rehabilitate 25.5 million people a large quantity of which likely lack any skills that would be useful in western economies.

It always amazes me how radical leftism keeps moving further right. Once upon a time radical leftism meant UBI and immediate radical action on climat change. Now ‘radicall’ leftism is anything left of squads of armed men kidnapping people off the street.

Also all the CO2, clearly we should be banning these flying machines from spreading mass quantities of weather changing chemicals in our atmosphere.
