As someone from outside the US, the problem is your side A is still more B than most countries side B by a pretty large margin (Though one that is concerningly shrinking). But we have seen proof that you can vote in a different side B at a local level and that’s probably the only non-violent way out of this assuming you (and by extension the rest of us) aren’t fucked already.
Nah the pilgrims were their own brand of shit leaving multiple places they were perfectly welcome (including the UK itself) and allowed to practice their religion but kept leaving anyway because they weren’t allowed to enforce their beliefs on others. This is the US going back to how it was founded.
All we did was completely annihilate the local environment and industries they depended on to survive, why would they do this!?
Sounds like we just weld the door shut from the outside and carry on as normal.
iirc light does move through the fiber itself at more or less 1c its just that it doesn’t take straight path due to all the internal reflections which is what causes the slow down.
Don’t forget on the job perks (Access may vary depending on site assignment):
iirc Disney already has something akin to corporate extra-territorality and and republicans were floating a wider rollout of that during Trumps last term?
AI going from ‘It’ll make everything so much more efficient!’ to deliberately doing everything as inneficiently as possible is just… idk beyond even satire at this point.
Everyone under 30 is trying as hard as we damn well can but the ship is sinking way faster than any of us can climb and some bastard has stolen all ladders. So the situation is kind of keep trying but with the acceptance that we’re fucked anyway.
Also iirc Israel just kept shooting? And then Trump got mad than iran continued shooting back because it ‘violated’ the imaginary ceasefire that apprently involved them just sitting there and being shot without retaliating?
Startrek, finally wiring in some damn cameras after manually hunting down intruders for the fifty eight thousandth time.
Especially when most actual network improvements are paid for directly by the government/taxpayer yet magically become the property of private companies.
A nuclear arsenal to prevent certain countries from just randomly invading?
Got to hand it to them though, they’ve done a fantastic job of hastening European re-armament and ultimate independance from the US.
I dunno all life today is an example of an unbroken lineage back to the begining of all life in existence (on earth), yes most branches wither and die but there’s also no such thing as a ‘new’ species, just the latest permutation or branch of one that was there before.
I think the rough method of discouse is Trump rambling to himself alone in his office, occasionaly someone from whatever part of the government that still knows how to negotiate attempts to translate some of these ramblings and confer them to Iran before Trump changes his mind and just tweets something completely different.
My local supermarket asks for access to all your personal information in perpituity for the rest of time, for any purpose, just to apply. It is part of a very large chain.
And a water molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms…
Shadowrun actually had/has a lower real cost of living than we now do in real life.
According to the side-job and lifestyle rules you could work part time and afford to live solo in a small appartment (Probably on par with V or Davids home in Cyberpunk)
Honestly I think its China just protecting its economy, western businesses are already finding that AI now costs more than just hiring humans and gives a worse output, the chinese government is just preventing their own economy from falling into the same trap.
