Alright, what are the best options for blocking mentions of Trump? Last term there was so much noise from that guy or about him.

It’s more about good writing. It’s often said you’re allowed to have one cheat. You have to be consistent about it and the rest of the rules of the universe still apply. But often enough in fiction the writers start breaking any rule or law of physics when the plot requires it instead of fixing the plot to follow consistent world building. It’s lazy writing and bad for immersion. A lot of the tension in a story is from the characters overcoming limitations, not having limitations disappear whenever convenient.

It never actually worked. He never got further than spewing radiation.

So many.

Normal people get slammed into a wall by monster, explosion or whatever, stand up and walk away. Buddy, you don’t walk that off. People die or need months of recovery from less.

Don’t get me started on the speed force. You do some napkin math and see the Flash is taking on a 1000G running in circles close to mach 2 without blinking and then gets knocked unconscious with a single punch in the next scene. Flash is not the only one of course.

And the lone inventor developing a fully conscious AI in some mountain cabin on an old laptop. It was clear that would never work and reality now shown us AI companies looking into nuclear powered data centers to speed up things.

Everytime with a project when you ask a document that says what has been agreed with the customer and the estimate for a planning and they look at you like a deer in the headlights to then forward a document from the sales guy that just says “we’ll do everything” and a phone book sized map with “a few additional demands from the customer.” Yeah, that project is auditioning for a role as the Hindenburg.

Traditionally kids do the rounds for candy on December 31th or on epiphany (three kings bringing gifts) around here. It depends on the region if one of those traditions is maintained.

Everybody forgets poor ol’ Saint Nicolas.

This one is street legal and flight certified: https://www.pal-v.com. The others are still doing certification. But yeah, it’s not really what people thought the future was going to be. It never is. Retrofuturism exists for a reason.

And the modern replacement for the helicopter is the eVTOL. That one is also often called a flying car, although they’re not street legal. As far as I know nobody died in an eVTOL yet.

but did not last for long it seems

Yeah, turns out it’s easier and cheaper to charter a jet and rent a car at the destination.

https://www.pal-v.com/ is one for example. Certified for road and air. You need a pilot license and a driving license. And it needs a short runway to take off or land. €499,000 excluding tax.

That’s a bit unfair. You can actually buy a flying car today. A few companies recently got their vehicle fully certified and are doing commercial sales. It’s not cheap. If you can’t afford a second Ferrari don’t bother.

The future is already here, it’s just not evenly distributed.

then a 2-season long summer basically, then fall. That’s it.

Like in the tropics, dry season and rain season. Or drought and flooding season of we’re unlucky.

Non automated tasks remain in the inbox for a week, so spending 2 days automating them means they’re finished earlier.

Even the shorts from your subscriptions they “optimize” using their algorithm instead of showing them chronologically. It’s such a hassle.

I thought that loop was done months ago. But she did use her jet to go to the other side of a city to avoid traffic

Poppin, Olympia, Cyber, Minima and/or Outline, depending on the mood, season and launcher. There isn’t much left on factory spec with my phone.

I’ll keep using my favorite icon pack instead, thank you very much

First thing to happen on any revolution or collapse is to burn the debt records and redistribute the land. If some people object they’ll be burned and/or redistributed too.
