I thought Kessler-syndrome was the real kicker, not greenhouse gasses.

Ooo, mommy (umami)

Everything can be rationalized away, but if you can answer hate and fear with love and understanding, nothing in the 'Verse can stop us.

I can rationalize the top monsters behaviour back to childhood trauma, and I can see how even the last factory worker can be the same level of responsible as the president of the United States.

The key for me is finding personal responsibility for myself. I was never taught how to take proper care of myself (emotionally mainly), and I think this might be endemic to society. I might be projecting.

Which are still radiated at you through the ether ;)

I’m kinda stoked by the tech as well and kinda understand how multiple LLMs can produce pretty novel ideas. I think it was in protein-mapping where I first heard of some breakthroughs.

While I’m happy to hear your experience shows you otherwise, it feels like your advocating for the devil. We don’t want to get lost in an angsty anti-capitalist echochamber, but surely you can see how the comic is poking fun at our tendencies to very cleverly cause everything to turn to shit.

I guess woosh means missing the point? You are right on an individual basis, but if you look at it in tendencies, you might see why your swings didn’t connect.

But there is! Infotainment. It’s way more engaging than regular news or just dramas. It’s just not the good touch.

You either deliberately or accidentally misinterpreted the joke. I kinda connect the “woosh” to the adult animation show Archer, but I might be conflating it due them emerging around the same time.

I mean most others will skip out on the toothpaste variant, but yeah, it’s out there like that kraftwerk song.

There are pretty easy solutions for at least the e-blockage: dropoff zones. Big scooter is not quite there yet to go against a mediocre public backlash.

The car solution is super easy as well, there is just too much money to be made in that sector.

Jeepers!

Golly! Gosh!

It’s so neat how different cultures adapted to numbers. Like French have something like 4 times 20 (and?) 2 to mean 82. In Hungarian if you say billió, that is one trillion rather one billion. We riff on the ending of million to express billion: milliárd.

Worst pirate ever, but also the best kind of person!

As someone else said, they probably kept the original age bracket. I’d say it’s at least 5-6 years out of whack. Early Ys are starting their forties, late ones their thirties.

In case anyone want’s to read up, wikipedia link to “the father of public relations”.

I’m pretty sure it’s light-weight psyops. Gitmo got a cutesy name as well. Anyone not directly part of the silly walks ministerium doesn’t give a nickname to something so serious.

I don’t disagree, but unhappy to report I have the same power over either outcome.

Let’s wait 'til the shopping spree is over and break them the fuck up <3

I think I was able to bring the ‘at’ closer to the time, but I’m not sure it’s correct:

‘This can’t possibly be the same 9pm I used to start getting ready at for a night out’

I’m tempted to remove the ‘used to’ and just put it in simple past for brevity, but that would hold back half the punch.

This is one of my favorite types of discourse. Polishing jokes and grammar in the gravitas it deserves.
