Back in maybe 2012-ish my friend built a new pc with some excessive amount of ram for the time. He had a small enough amount of stuff installed on it that he was able to just load the entire fs into ram, and just load anything off of it effectively instantly.

Idiocracy movie was so correct about our future...

Even the president in that movie is gun crazy, and its literally Trump and his advisors.

Nah man. The president in Idiocracy listened to smart people about how to help his citizens. He cared about them and their ability go to the thunder dome for entertainment.

Thats actually true. There wasnt any military industrial complex with billions to earn from his decisions. In a way, that movie is sticking to the school version of what our leaders are.
