Yeah, it takes longer

The wild West sounds pretty great right now. Ultimate freedom - everyone was real polite because being rude was risking your life. If someone does something fucked up, you either get together to post a bounty or get a bunch of guys together to hunt them down

Until corporations and the Pinkertons got involved, then the feds, it honestly sounds like a huge step up from where we are

I read it and I still have no idea what this is

Fair, my AC has been on the fritz and I’ve been waking up sweating or freezing (it’s getting fixed tomorrow) but this is different

But I ask mostly because multiple other people who live hours away have been waking up at the same times, same time frame. Two is a coincidence three is a pattern and all that

My dreams when I do manage to go back to sleep are unusually uncomfortable, I’ll keep that in mind

My friend also has told me about some disturbing dreams in the same time frame

Yes, but I’ve got blackout shades and my apartment is on the west side

Propoganda fucking works, simple as that

Billionaires just buy good press and publicists to manage their image, it’s so effective they believe it themselves

Civilized countries don’t let people die because they can’t afford to live

There’s not many of those, are there?

We’re all living in a distopia, no one is safe from the sickness… It spreads across borders

I like the idea. I’ve even experimented with some on device algorithms by basically weaving together feeds, even something simple like makes a noticeable improvement

Protests don’t do much except show dissatisfaction. Protesting in a game only works in that game

If you want to help without leaving your house, donate to a group doing good things so that more of them can give up their jobs and do it full time

It predicts that Tesla could save money by padding the numbers, and does a little fraud automagically

I follow laws mainly because of my own sense of morality - I don’t kill, I steal only when I feel I need to, and I don’t commit fraud because these things are obviously generally wrong.

I follow stupid laws (such as needing insurance, paying income taxes, or not speeding) out of fear of punishment. These are issues I’ll basically never have, because I’m good at driving and don’t make enough to affect state level operations

I think you replied to the wrong comment, but I agree

Granted, if they could actually make this work, they could probably do the robotaxi thing or even get into logistics. That would make it easily worth it to build dispatch centers basically everywhere

That is, if they could make it work

Nah, there’s not that many. There’s large swaths of the US where you have to drive across multiple states to get to one, in part for legal restrictions on dealerships

Yes. Because all my life, we’ve been frogs in a steadily warming pot, and the heat has been cranked up to max

People are angry. People are protesting, doing vandalism with a prison sentence longer then murder, people are raging at their futures being cut off

Everything creates a reaction. The worse is gets, the faster it gets worse, the larger the reaction.

The best future is the one where people get so angry we stop. That’s all it takes to kill the game - if enough people, even for a short time, stop playing - it all stops

The world is robust. Humans are robust. If we stopped killing both, everything could recover shockingly fast

Things will get worse, things are very bad already, but it’s not over. I feel lighter every time the stock market drops, because it’s imaginary but the hurt is real.

The more and faster the hurt, the more people will wake the fuck up and stop this

Repair, smuggle, Jerry rig

I mean… Everything is, really. I don’t think it’s a problem with cloud, I think corporations are slashing their workforce so hard they can’t keep up the quality

I don’t get how things like this don’t get more attention… This whole thing was insane, but it literally did nothing to his career

Ah, true… Although the inverse is true too
