It wasn't me, I swear! That said, don't even get me started on my experience with dreams in general, mine actually have predicted ordinary but noteworthy events in my life years in advance. I still can't figure out how that's possible, only that it is the absolute truth; I wrote down one of the dreams in a computer file and never edited it until the events described by the dream log had already come true.
Whoever's screwing with you was probably a Jurassic Park fan, though!
I tailored my answers to that assumption. It's a reality, even if a heavily-manipulated one, and the person(s) inside the simulation are as real as we are, given the description of "perfect simulation".
So you'd created a clone slave of yourself. Ehrm... I'm not sure how to tell you this but...
Well, at least you actually want to have a beneficial legacy. That's better than we can say about Zuckerberg, Trump or Musk.
Calculating... 404, problem "Entropy" not found. Please check the new information from the James Web Space telescope for possible reasons.
(look up "Trillion Year Old Universe" and realize that if true, that's just how old the currently observable universe is, and reality as it is could be eternally going through cycles of stellar death and birth and would have always existed with no beginning)
Change.org petitions to not deport people from Canada, who either would be killed by their own government or hurt by other people due to endemic homophobia and transphobia in their culture after being deported to their home country, or, in one case, because he turned 18 just before his parents and younger siblings were granted citizenship.
Worst part is why; I'm half-European (my family were farmers and possibly feudal landowners at the wealthiest, political upheavals forced them to expatriate themselves a half-dozen times in the early 20th century so my dad's nationality is vague) and half-Colombian (and my mom's family tree is itself very mixed race), so I know how important immigration is for both the immigrants and the recieving nation. I've never held anything against anyone that they were born with since around 2007 and I have never tried to justify that dislike of severely mentally handicapped people from back then at any point, then or now.
Finally, I live in Western Canada and have a lot of empathy. It seems that, while I'm not going to hold it against all French Quebec residents, there are some Québécois who are fucking cruel when it comes to deportation. I've talked to a guy, Caucasian as paste, who has been illegally reported to Immigration twice because he's from Ontario and lives in Quebec, and that's just how Immigration - which is HQ'd in Quebec for no good reason - treats people who look similar to themselves, let alone the dozen different times an upstanding potential skilled worker migrant from a "person of color" background has been nearly deported despite a clear-cut case of being in life-threatening danger if they are deported.
Fortunately, most of the petitions succeeded in putting pressure on Immigration Canada to hand out exceptions to rules because of the circumstances and because most of the country is all too aware of how much bigotry has taken hold in Quebec.
I mean, I don't want to generalize and I've never known much about Francophone history, but I somehow can't help but wonder if French aristocracy both on the other side of my country and over in Europe have always tended to be sociopathicly narcissistic. Hearing about some of the things the French government has just tried to enact has me feeling like we're in some sort of home stretch of the end of the world, or at least a historical turning point that will go down in the history books of the 23rd and 24th century the way Napoleon's reign or the American Revolutionary War is portrayed in modern media.
Also, before anyone says it, I know every country has had corrupt leaders throughout history. It just seems to take a special kind of arrogance among leadership for "The rich bitch thinks we weren't allowed to eat cake without permission, when we can't afford the bread?!" to be a plausible accusation at multiple points in time and space with the only common thread being the language spoken, but since that could be said about English easily I apologize if that feels accusatory. You're not the language you speak or the flag you fly, just please don't let power go to your heads everyone.
Unfortunately, teenagers are very easy to convince to groupthink, and an individual teenage bully can often be as smart as a conniving aristocrat when it comes to online drama.
This is absolutely something that could ruin the girl's life, if only because teenagers and tween girls are disproportionately tribalist in their outlook.
Was going to mention this, I see you beat me to it.
The one that led to McBling and Reality TV. I wouldn't try to force fashion to remain shiny bubblegum pop grafittipunk/shibiyapunk futurism to stick around or anything, I just think it had more staying power under normal conditions that was lost solely due to the nature of life from 2001-2008.
People don't change fashion at the drop of a hat for financial crises, that just strengthens counterculture and futurism. They change their tastes suddenly when innocent people die in a new and unexpected way. That's why art from the time period just before and during the Black Death is filled with more cynicism than even the past 7 years (roughly since Trump was elected), why an Oriental symbol of peace was ruined by the Nazis, and why the climate crisis has made FairPhone the only smartphone brand that survives without shoving ads down your throat.
Or at least, so it seems to me, I'm not a sociologist. What I also am not is petty or authoritarian, I'm not trying to make everyone wear 30 year old clothes or check their emails on an iLamp computer. I just know I'd like to see a world where people don't have to rely on mass production to provide the things we need to live, because then you're required to change your stuff out the moment it's broken or obsolete.
My point is, I was trying to say your idea would make planned obsolescence and obsolescence in general themselves a relic of early civilization, so limiting such a world to one genre or style of product that only remains popular for ~10 years before becoming nothing but zeitgeist and nostalgia feels needlessly restrictive. I can see how it could be taken the opposite way, sorry about that!
Oof, yeah. That puts a kink in it.
Tbh, maybe we should just ask "Does (insert ideology here) tell me to kill the preteen (or for recent events, anyone under the age of majority) children of the supposedly evil people?" and if the answer is yes or "not specifically but I have no recourse if they suddenly tell me to kill kids" then (insert ideology here) is evil.
I swear they should have run a virus scan or CCleaner or something on that thing. Even the Glitch Techs don't have a holodeck THAT buggy!
