This is why we need big idea dudes like you in power.

The Epstein Memorial Gilded Rapetorium.

Spurtles are where it’s at.

I had a group of friends that moved there from the Midwest in the 10s, and I hope they have the presence of mind to get the fuck out.

If you didn’t have anything to hide, why do you need a VPN? /S

It’s a wonder these people can manage to post with their tongues wrapped so thoroughly around the boot.

My mind has remained boggled to this day.

How many bee jackets to make a tube of all natural chap stick?

Nunchucks were originally used to thresh grain before they became a peasant weapon.

Oh no, dont thweton me. :3

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.

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…’
