Thats what I was hoping, but it was presented so deadpan that theres enough countries in the world that this could theoretically be true for some of them

Its in the side panel tucked away, you know, the area usually delegated to unimportant credits level info, and not in the sales pitch area. I had a younger friend respond to this news "Shows how many people cant read" Like what? You're gonna defend a corporation being scummy because TECHNICALLY if you hyper scan the info you got a HINT that something might be required?
Patreon and Merch ALSO allow a lot of youtubers to survive without having ro rely on Monetization from Youtube
It was so skippable I never even knew there was an option to link to a PS Account, which I dont have because my last PlayStation was the PS2
If you look past the fear mongering and how capitalists are using it, AI tech is already cool. Crispr and the fact that we are roughly at genetic modification now where we were with Computers in the 80's with a human trial for a gene modification therapy for a genetic disease already happening this year, VR and AR has some really nifty gaming uses already, and we're starting another manned mission to the moon. All of that is immediately cool, but boring you dont think of cool is how powerful our cellphones are, most of us now have a tiny black obelisk connected to NOTHING that allows us to talk to someone across the planet who doesnt speak the same language us with a delay of less than a few seconds, and still have them understand us. Our world has already changed SO MUCH in the last 30 years technology wise, and there isnt really anything hinting that that rate of advancement is going to slow to a significant degree, so while the political and environmental instability the world is currently facing is indeed scary, if we are in the position to survive the next 30 years, we're likely to see even more tech that would seem like magic even in todays eyes
edit: On top of all that, because of the internet, the rich have only been able to delay any of this cool tech getting into our hands, not fully stop it, so as much as they've been trying to lock down the internet, as long as they havent, we'll still eventually get access to these awesome new advancements
Thats fair I guess. Its IS kind of risky to make a joke at another persons expense though if you arent meaning to offend, especially when tone cant be applied
I'm pretty sure Christo Facists trying to bring about the Handwives Tale isnt going to go down without a whimper
Most people think I'm quirky and would never guess I was Autistic until I told them. Thanks for the slight though... kinda weirdly judgy for a Star Trek sub
I honestly dont see the States keeping as one country if it falls to ChristoFacism, but the States breaking apart will give a whole lot of regimes fuel to start expanding
Hows the boot taste?
