I have gotten to the point that when a scifi world is made futuristic by having... traffic jams in the sky, and futuristic cities absolutely must have magic sky cars in their skyline but there is ZERO thought towards futuristic mass transit I just shut it off.

We already have flying cars that people use as their primary vehicle, it is called living in the middle nowhere Alaska and owning a bush plane. The thing is, that is actually the only kind of situation where everyone owning a flying car makes sense, extreme isolation, huge empty distances and no roads.

The whole point of a city is NOT to need something like a flying car.

It is a stupid fantasy, what matters is they have fully normalized fascism here in the US

Republicans are saner here than most other places as well. Not

Look it isn't that I won't consider not supporting genocide, it is that your tone and the manner that you bring up the fact that I support the genocide makes me feel bad so out of spite I will continue to support the genocide, and now how do you feel?

This is all your fault.

You are delusional, do you not understand this is a genocide of palestinians?

You talk like genocide will teach a group of people a lesson and it is pathetic and exceedingly small minded.

Kodak went from being a major player in the photography industry to being completely blindsided by digital photography.

True, every time I think the U.K. has dealt a decisive blow of self immolation in the struggle to reign supreme in stupidity over the U.S., the U.S. stages a miraculous comeback and jumps into the lead and vice versa, it is like a never ending Dragon Ball Z episode where the characters exclusively punch themselves in the face.

Yeah I think people in the U.S. and anyone who is either willingly or unwillingly paying attention to this dumpster fire need to notice the nature of what collapse looks like here. It is the very very very top of a society foreclosing an entire economic opportunity for the other 99% in exchange for having complete dominance of a much smaller, more pathetic pie.

Yes a lot of them are this dumb, and it won't work out for them, but also pay very close attention to the kinds of people who actually do longterm benefit from this. The ineffectual centrism that brought the U.S. to the brink of collapse will respond to this kind of thing with "look how stupid conservatives are!" which yes... conservatives are overwhelmingly either willingly stupid or shockingly hateful or some mixture of the two at least in the U.S.... but this is a distraction.

There is a class of people who benefit from collapse like this, it is a VERY small class that makes the former 1% under a more free and productive society look like a big club, but it is still enough people to destroy an entire nation's future. Take that lesson to heart.

I have this little unofficial stupidity contest going in my head between U.S. politics and U.K. politics, usually I feel like the U.S. is wayyyy dumber but Brexit put some strong numbers on the board for the U.K.

Not sure how the U.K. is going to come back from this though, basically the U.K. did a giant faceplant onto pavement with Brexit thinking there was no way the U.S. could top that and then the U.S. just says hold my beer and exits the entire global economy in exchange for enshrining the 1% as the lamest gods imaginable within a desperately poor U.S. populace.

Genocide Profiteer not War Profiteer

Fuck you Microsoft, if I wasn't already done with you for completely enshittifying your operating system, I would DEFINITELY be done with you for this.

Fuck off and continue to become a Kodak or Yahoo or other still existing washout company that totally lost the plot.
