the expression alone.

happy, happy (but with shades!), smug, murderous nihilism

it will be called Brian Thompson's Law. it will be challenged on 1st amendment grounds, after a particularly nasty no knock raid results in 2 suspects killed. at this point there will be dozens held on terrorism charges for merely calling for hypothetical "in minecraft" violence against CEOs. including a 70 year old social activist hippie grandmother and a 16 year old

the supreme court will uphold it.

yep been noticing how it's only ever TikTok doing bad social media things

avert your gaze from the nazi hellsite since it's owned by the future co-emperor

they really ramp it up by prohibiting books or other media. that's basically the next level of solitary, because there has to be further layers of punishment built in. that and the fact you only get flavorless "nutriloaf" aka bread and water, modern form.

so just a featureless room with only your mind to occupy you for possibly a lifetime, or long stretches (weeks, months) if being used as a punishment. and if you lose it they just beat the shit out of you and possibly tie you down in a restraint chair.

i can see how people lose it just to create a sense of time by fighting with the guards

i've been obsessively posting about it since this site started. china is going to dominate the world (in a good way) simply by mass producing commercial fusion reactors and selling them to every nation that wants them. and start a fusion fuel economy. it will be a net gain for everyone, unlike the fossil fuel economy.

my more crank prediction is a lot of their unmanned lunar research is part of a broad policy of looking for viable helium-3 sources.

it would definitely leave a trail of droplets. A glass dropper full of oil every 1.8 miles at highway speeds (55 mph).

as a fellow ancient decaying millenial i recommend magnesium before bed. either citrate or even better glycinate (chelated). most westerners are lacking magnesium and it serves as a natural muscle relaxant

you will sleep more log like. otherwise yeah i get some bad ones some nights probably from cats making me sleep very still. also my job is intensely physical with no 48 hr muscle recovery time (i only get 1 day off at time) and i think it's tearing my muscle fibers apart instead of bulking me up

i have a soft spot for it. only thing is i wish the little self contained short stories were longer. especially the time period with the Iroquois taking in Japanese refugees and in turn being educated by them to rapidly industrialize. that by itself could be it's own novel

and it's the Iroquois Federation that becomes the superpower in the end. and communist. but only because of the big war

GOOD post

it's cold and i want to dip bread into soups and stews

that bread looks like it would be amazing for that

i'm wanna make a throwaway reddit account and just do fake face phrenology all over that site just for fun now! (be funnier on X but i just can't with that place)

possibly a thin atmosphere too.

possibly, just possibly Venus at this time still had a hot, shallow ocean under a pressure-cooker wet atmosphere and Mars was undergoing it's last wet cycle

so would have been a good time for solar system exploration hope the dino space program made the most of it

his natural urge to smoke CEOs and their ideological compatibility is going to tear him apart

(honestly he should hate SBF because his whole beef seems to be hatred of CEOs using tech wrong/immorally)

july 26th baybee!!

i really need to give this one up but i don't wanna

doubled edged sword. his sheer stumbling brute-force not subtle way of doing things is also tearing and setting fire to the curtain that used to conceal the true power behind liberal democracy

so yeah you'll have plenty of ideological libs looking at musk as a problem to be solved to save capitalism. but other, less ideologically committed and politically unactivated may see him as part of the ecosystem of

those are the people we need to pay attention to and be there to educate

Kim Stanley Robinson's Years of Rice and Salt leaned into this really hard. it follows a group of characters that reincarnate in different historical periods. you follow them by their first name's letter. one is trans, finding out after becoming a eunuch (but in a non consensual way). the character finally feels normal afterwards.

then after that she always reincarnates as a cis woman which is pretty cool. she has to do some trippy afterlife journey to claim her true gender

ohhhhhhhhh yea it's out. it's been a year since ive played time to dust it off

ahh yea didn't consider it was just a lifeboat for those banned from here (i know at least BMF is there)
