And it had better stay lucky.

Absolutely agree. They wanna complain about entitlement. They think they’re entitled to 3/4 of all of our lives.

Let’s make anything over 32 hours double pay.

I’m sorry, but this is class war. Would you prefer to be enslaved?

Oh yeah? Prove it!

All this time I thought it was the retromutagen ooze.

You are the product and you will pay.

There was definitely a time when nobody pretended their favorite stick was a gun.

Sadly they also aren’t real. Probably.

My dream is for The Culture to stop by for a visit. They just scan everything and make digital copies of the entire civilization’s total output, become fans of our TV shows, dance to our music, read our books, learn our entire history, then disguise themselves as humans to come down to see the real thing for themselves, view our natural wonders, party hard, and do little things to help us fix ourselves.

It also depicts racial minorities often kinda poorly, at least artistically. It’s been a while though. I don’t remember it treating them badly plotwise, just made some of them look like caricatures.

There are rumors that the deaf are able to make good use of text based technologies.

Oh spare me your judgement. My plate is full, and none of it is wasted. I described a thing I would like to do if I had the resources that some rich Lambo owning prick has. I get a bunch of suggestions which are not that thing, none of which I requested, and some of which leave me dubious. I do not trust charities not to enable rich pricks to hoard Lambos. I’m weaning myself off the internet, not seeking new ways to engage with it. I wasn’t soliciting for piddly little ways I could sit on my ass to be a better liberal. I was lamenting the sociopathy of those who have such resources, despite zero hard work, yet waste them.

I’m already doing all I can for the environment. What I normally go do is break my body daily in the field in one of the few trades where fighting climate change is central. That’s where most of my time and energy go right now. That’s why I chose this career. Considering the way this world is going, I don’t expect to live long enough to make the difference I intended.

Look, I know you mean well. Thanks for suggesting an eco-friendly search engine. Hopefully they take data security and anonymity with the seriousness we all need these days. Hopefully it’s not just another slush fund for some billionaire’s spoiled brat. But regardless, your suggestion probably doesn’t fit my wants and needs.

Are they gonna give the land back to the native people? When can I find the time?

Or I could do the work myself. Donating to charity is just throwing money at the rich.

It’s cheaper if I do the work myself, which is the only kind of work worthy of respect.

If I had that kind of money, I’d buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.

Just feed birds next to the showrooms.

People can get out of prison. Full pardons sometimes.
