"could" is doing a lot of lifting there.

For someone with very few memories of their childhood (I have SDAM, lack of autobiographical memories) reading Sean's memories of his sister and how they coloured his present was lovely. Another one I'll be recommending to anyone who'll listen. Thank you for writing it!

Hey again! I just finished 'the unkillable princess' and I loved it. It's a much more measured, slightly slower paced book than the first, without the visceral claustrophobic desperation.....but it's a solid continuation of Sean's story and (1/2)

Remember when 'The running man' was a dystopian satire?

Well...reading between the lines it sounds like everyone involved started off with high hopes, but the pressure to succeed and the high stakes started them down a dark road. It could be a tale about how the ends don't justify the means. Imagine shooting for godhood and ending up with manikins.

Also, what do I have to do to get a prequel about Mara Zhu and the Philosopher's Stone? Probably not using that title though :D

Hey now, I find this offensive! I have a tiny penis and I would never drive a Tesla! I drive a range rover instead. I might be filled with seething, jealous insecurity but I ain't no goddamn Nazi.

This was in response to a couple of reddit posts like 'Gen-X, what was life like in the 1900s?" :|

Now is the 'Top American scientist' an actual scientist or an old white dude who can lick Trump's prostate?

"photoshopped" is overselling it. Someone put MS 13 over the actual tattoos in a way that made it obvious it was an annotation to help the viewer. Literally just characters not aligned to the fingers, obviously not part of the photo. Trump is so senile he thought that was the actual tattoos.

"Numerous experts in the field, including cognitive scientist Gary Marcus, insist that the Turing test only shows how easy it is to fool humans and is not an indication of machine intelligence."

I'm pretty sure who the enemy of America is at this point, it's the guy deporting citizens and threatening to use the Army like a presidential guard.

Maybe....life was just that much fun in the early 00s

Until the demand is met yes. If you have an industry that just keeps increasing its demand then all you're doing is meeting that, where does the surplus come from?

How does 'more consumption' equal 'a surplus'?

Even Catholics, the people who think that a bit of cracker is transmuted into the flesh of their undying demi-god, even they think Americans are weird.

Exercise as well?? Seems like another point for the sword!
As well as, you know, the one at the stabby end.

A 'murder weapon 4 life' if you will.

I feel like bolts are still realistically a single-use item. A knife or longsword is a much more sustainable murder method.

I mean.....yes, MS recording everything I do is obviously peak dystopia BUT as someone with the working memory of a potato the actual idea of being able to ask my computer 'ah shit, where did I see that thing about fitness functions last week?' and it give me a useful reply is compelling.
