So, per capita Lichtensteinians are the Alpiniest population?

I regularly have dreams where I'm trying to use a smartphone but can't do anything because I can't read the screen and Pacific because it feels like I've been hacked.

My vape also regularly falls apart in dreams, and back when I smoked lighters never worked.

I think that the part of our brain that processes these mechanics are shut down when we sleep, so when our dream self tries to use them they just don't function.

Could come into play where punching in a dream is impossible and running is difficult.

I ain't no brain doctor, or nothin'.

Now I want a GTA mod where you can use a child as the main character, but that could also get weird really fast...

'I see you're having trouble rocket jumping! Would you like some help?'

'Goddamnit Kyle, shut up!'

How long until there is a Clippy Fortnite skin?

Definitely loved Snow Crash. Similar message that everything will be shared/recorded. In The Circle it's a bit more chilling, for me at least, because every person is a 'Gargoyle' that HAS to record and share every thought and emotion and event, and it's all happening in a somewhat boring cyber-corpo near future dystopia, whereas SC was a madcap over the top cyberpunk playground.

Where I'm at in The Circle, employees of the big tech company are expected to share pics of everything they do and comment on everything their coworkers do. Fill out a minimum of 500 survey questions a day on top of their daily work quota. Everyone's work performance is shared for Friendly Competition.

I'd go on, but there'd be spoilers.

So, like you said, definitely not an original idea, just a slightly more current and boringly believable dystopia than rad pizza delivering samurais and viral languages developing on pirated barges floating in trash gyres in the Pacific.

'Finally, give your automated friend hand the secret handshake, so we know your privacy is secure for us.

I'm reading 'The Circle' by Dave Eggers right now, and he totally foresaw all knowing corporative control back in the 2010s.

It is a tome at 500 pages, but a great read, so far.

Somebody in the MS marketing department: 'Everyone hates clippy. What can we do about this?'

'Paste a couple gifs of a CGI dog on top of it?'

'Genius! Let's go to our two week lunch!'

'Looks like you could use some help investing in crypto! Let me help, but you should have a solid investment in a couple tech stocks first...'

I think the above bot automatically responds to any post that contains both Mennonite and Kinky. Fascinating.

I wish for it to finish it's thought.

Ah. The mile long club.

My last train trip was 90% Mennonite teens and retired train enthusiasts. Too kinky for me.
