See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Look, all I’m saying is that while it isn’t a matter of systematic oppression for each man to prefer that his girlfriend get the purring augmentation, if the vast majority of men have a strong preference, this creates a powerful incentive gradient in which any women who don’t will risk a greater chance of loneliness.

Just because popular VR personas use it now does not justify getting an expensive cybernetic implant, especially since it didn’t really hit the big time until about five years ago.

Apparently it was the setting for Mad Max, Crocodile Dundee, and a variety of other films that garnered less critical acclaim.

I’m hoping it gets rebooted soon.  As a setting, it’s kind of played out, and it seems like they license the IP to just anyone.

Incidentally is anyone else really annoyed that there is no noun for ‘people from the USA’ that unambiguously means ‘people from the USA’?

I know ‘Americans’ is generally understood to have that meaning, but:

a) It is still ambiguous, and that irritates me. How, if this is the nomenclature, are we to refer to ‘people from the continents of America’?

b) The fact that ‘Americans’ and ‘America’ are understood to solely refer to people from the USA seems to me to be part of the ‘we are the only people and place that exists or matters’ thing that US culture can sometimes project, and that really irritates me, which makes the word usage irritating beyond just its ambiguity.

I’d like to say Yanks but apparently it has a different meaning in the USA.

“Yankee” is a kind of complex word.

“For northerners, a “yankee” is somebody from New England. For New Englanders, a “yankee” is somebody from Vermont. For Vermonters, a “yankee” is somebody who eats apple pie for breakfast.“ http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/000205.html

Anyway, it would also be nice to have a word for people from North and South America as a group.

All of the Americas belong to the United States.

Don’t worry, guys.  This ends with the annexation of Mexico in 2068 and the formation of the North American Union, at which point we are known as Unionese.

But there’s definitely a strain of revolutionary that wants a more explicitly fascist or feudal adversary, not this wishy washy liberal centrism rubbish.

It takes a villain to create a superhero.

mitigatedchaos

This is why Leftists should support my rise to power in order to feel revolutionary zeal and increase their social status through righteous indignation. It’s true, I may not be a feudalist or a fascist, but they’ll get to call me that a lot which gets the same social points, right? And what I have in mind is less wishy-washy than the current dominant paradigm…

amazing how no one is fat in the dark cyberpunk future

dark cyberpunk future, Neo-Tokyo, neon, sun never comes out, black leather, mirrored shades, jacking in to the matrix, corporations, syndicate, retro phones,

No no no you’re missing the plan here.

The megacorporations license you a gene mod which keeps you skinny so you can fit the image their advertising sells, and it boosts your metabolism so that you must eat more food to survive, helping to sell you large amounts of highly-branded junk food while you take on more and more debt.  

In the cyberpunk future, the Coca-Cola™ flowing through your veins is the only thing keeping you alive.
