I don't know, I think its a matter of sticky brains and getting used to something in your head. Like I've read the WoT books long ago but my brain keeps throwing ??? at all the changes. At which point an adaptation stops being an adaptation and becomes something 'loosely inspired' in a writer...

Why do you think meaningful work will be allowed if society doesn't need you to sustain itself? I wager on planned obsolescence of extraneous biomass.

That's what happens when you put an IQ cap on who can join the local goon squad. Really the best basic policy is to continue sitdowns until businesses start complaining to the people in charge that their bottom lines are affected.

I don't know if they are migraines but my 'headaches' take form in one side of the head, most commonly the brow having throbbing dull bohrer into the brain sensation of pain. Usually caused by bad sleep or naps. I rub cooling gel on my forhead and beneath my nose and eat as much ice cream as I...

In every state I've been the police are a mafia, it just depends on how much they get away with. Public service doesnt invite the best people, only the most pliable ones.

Only a 1st worlder can make such a statement.

I thought I was the only gloomer here. I don't think the world will end, but I think a lot of poor and poor adjacent people are going to suffer and die horribly in the next 30ish years. The rest of us will be locked into either a corporate surveillance system or authoritarian state surveillance...

Umm so you have a problem with conscious existence then. Suffering is unavoidable. What do they call it preference lack or something to that effect.

Not a fan of those sites, but I don't think they should be shut down. (but of course private companies are free to do as they please) Having those people out in the open is better than having them undercover. Behold the surprise of the entire left of center electorate when they elected Trump.

They can do it digitally now too.

A president running to stay unindictable is like peak Rome.

The Prince of Nothing/Aspect Emperor series. They are dense with meaning and reading through a second time you catch all the things you didn't know to look for before. Besides that nothing. I get that 'yeah yeah you read this' nagging feeling in my brain when I tried to read stuff I already read...

Nothing beats big multiple screens and the clickety clack of my desktop keyboard and phones today are getting so big and fast you might as well get a small foldable bluetooth keyboard to do computing on the run. Tried a Mac Air laptop for a while but I found the keyboard to be most displeasing...

The working class should be really defined as people who are one paycheck away from defaulting on debts like the recent US shutdown showed.

I used to think this was going to be an interesting facet of the future, but I'm convinced now most people won't care really. Short attention spans and less interest than before. Trump showed that well enough.
