There's an article resurfacing from 2016 that uses arguments from Plato's The Republic, where once a democracy is too forgiving a tyrant emerges, and it seems to completely explain the Trump effect, down to "an elite that implicates his elite peers in crimes to gain popular support while doing all the bad things." As always I can't find it. I was a STEM kid so I never read the classics but now see the [immense] value in them.

I remember playing Mirror’s Edge running around delivering paper messages to escape the internet and thinking “glad this will never happen.”

At least the city looked nice in that dystopia…

The insensitive meme regarding AI is that it stands for "Actually Indians," referencing that time Amazon's self-checkout cashier less stores were run by contractors in India. There have been adjacent examples, the most inhumane one I've seen as of late is the ordering kiosks being run remotely by workers overseas.

The Marathon LAN sessions were lit. Finding ways to load Maelstrom or Rescue! and hide them in legitimate academic looking folders. Finding ways to play Bolo without the Math teacher noticing.

#1 I was told this is the rationale behind the Homelander character, that he represents an unstoppable oppressive force we all just have to avoid and not face directly because there's no way to win.

#25 I seem to remember it was pollution clouds and they could raise their magic sky castles to stay above it.

When the Combine invades these guys will still be up and running with the resistance, they probably have their own person in a Hazard Suit already.

Thank you I was thinking this because I'm failing at using the CPAP machine and rip the mask off angrily 1-2 hours after falling asleep. Getting angry emails about not being 70% compliant...

Except "people's retirement accounts" are only ~10% of the stock market, and the big whales (who actually move it) own the rest.

I’m on a cruise with Royal Caribbean and saw the show and practice session where the incredible girls do this. Never knew it was possible on a slack line!

Likely because all those 80s theme songs were made by Shuki Levy. So many themes from 80s kids childhoods.

My parents brought me as a baby from Poland to the US in the 1980s. They tell me when they first saw a Toys R Us they were astounded that a country could devote a place so big to its children and what a great country it must be for it to choose and be able to do so.

Didn’t we learn that if we ask the internet to name something it will end up being “City McCityface?”
