Demolition Man becoming increasingly prescient.

“If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.”

Paid by Iran!

“You know what the trouble is, Brucey? We used to make shit in this country, build shit. Now we just put our hand in the next guy’s pocket.”

That’s the future we all wanted. Going to work all day so robots could sit at home and play games.

You mean the slopomatic made up looking article that ran everywhere despite looking as genuine as a three pound note? The one with real “it’s true my uncle works for Bill Gates” energy? That article?

Many had a premium rate phone line, and it was just a tape so if you were stuck near the end you’d have to listen to the end and potentially pay many times the game’s cost.

Sure, but I don’t really want to share a reality with people who do.

It’s making them not right.

Pfft, about tomorrow lunchtime.

Well they’ve just seen what happened to the last guy. They didn’t want the job themselves…

Well there is a plan, it’s just “make them in countries where you can still have slaves”.

They do that anyway, but usually prices going down.

e.g. yellow stickers going on things that will expire soon.

You’ve not lived if you haven’t watched two pensioners fight to the death over a 20p pack of Greek yoghurt.

Probably partly down to the price of PC parts. I haven’t upgraded mine since I got a 1060.

A machine that could run PS4 titles better can be a Steam Deck. A machine that can run PS5 titles better is like £1200.

And tbh, I doubt they’re selling many PS5 Pros either. PS5 graphics are plenty good enough. They run at 60fps which is all most people were after when going from console to a PC. People obsessing over the latest all singing, all dancing raytracing are few and far between. 5090s are likely being bought for AI use.

We just want games.

The UK was constantly bribing car makers to stay, and most of them still fucked off.

I’ve seen that claimed along with a picture.

With AI bullshit and propaganda machines how they are, that’s probably bollocks, and in any case it doesn’t make a hundred kids any less dead.

And people will blame Iran or Hamas for putting military targets near civilians, but that happens everywhere. Where’s the Pentagon? Where’s the White House and the Capitol? Smack bang in the middle of a massive population centre.

I don’t think it’s even possible to have war without a load of civilian deaths. At least not since “new advanced weaponry” meant “a slightly longer sword”.

At this point I feel we’d just be immunising the rest of the universe from human stupidity.

“Scientist invents new, even smellier, dog poo.”

Well it wouldn’t be an Israeli strike without at least one school being blown to bits.

Two of the Supreme Court Justices he appointed? Believe it or not, lunatic left.
