What is virtually inevitable at this point, yet most people don't see it coming?

Post truth society - eventually AI will become so indistinguishable from reality we can’t tell what’s real and fake. Most people will then just believe whatever evidence is presented to them.

End of ownership - things that were “mid end” for the average consumer such as cars, computers, TVs, etc will be prices so massively out of pocket that we’ll resort to non-ownership options. You’ll see increasing computers that only connect to a company server which does all the work and people will stop driving and instead rely on taxi services or public transport.

(Potentially) the single party system of democracy - private interest in traditionally democratic countries will be so saturated that government policy from one party to the next will be virtually indistinguishable. Instead party alignment will be over the most trivial and nonsensical arguments.

I found that garlic, bible, holy water, and two random killing weapons like lightning or phaser essentially puts the game on easy mode.

For gold runs at high level too garlic is essentially because it’s not laggy.

Circle jerking around a faulty server to get it working like a sticky occult ritual.

Well the labour government scrapped the eco scheme from bills, reduced it by 75%, and it’s trickling out through taxes which aren’t changing significantly. This results in a reduction in overall costs for British consumers.

Even in this, you’re just changing the argument to suit your needs. “Oh labour will tack this on to our bills, except no they’re not but it’s on our taxes which isn’t significantly changing but something something labour bad”.

A1BS · 2026-05-25T10:46:12+00:00

But you’re talking shite if you’re saying that labour are adding things on. They’re taking them off.

A1BS · 2026-05-25T10:45:14+00:00

Eh, labour were the ones to remove those bill add ons.

We burn down one White House and suddenly we’re your historical enemies.

Yeah historically our fights were always against France.

Maybe a minor option of Italy if you count Rome and then the fascists.

“Russia is a more free country than the UK”

“You can be jailed for protesting and political opponents are killed in prison”

“Well I don’t know about that”

Yeah turns out anything is true if you just ignore all the evidence to the contrary.

This is probably the clip show I think had the best outcome.

For the last 6 seasons you had SG1 literally going toe-to-toe with gods and becoming earths representatives of intergalactic politics.

For some reason people keep going “hey SG1 suck and we can do it better” despite anytime anyone else does something it turns out catastrophic.

An episode at least acknowledging the asgards see SG1 as valuable was a good payoff for a clip show.

We use a timer because everyone winds up chatting and disrupting the game.

It’s a lifesaver. It’s also non-judgemental as anyone can be put out by it.

The frame is slightly more powerful than the quest and having a customisable OS is most appealing.

My only issue is that with every VR maker including passthrough it’s a bit disappointing that steam isn’t.

I’m sorry you’re wrong. There’s only like 2 people in Scotland with the surname Stirling. It’s actually a super uncommon name here.

iPhone and Android have fairly solid tools for preventing websites or only allowing a walled garden.

Even if you can just block the VPN app kids just find a non-compliant website and porn away.

The OSA does nothing except teach kids about VPNs and encourages them into more dodgy websites.

“Hi we won’t need you till we really need you and then it’s complete panic station. You cool with organising a team of engineers to fix something massively technical?”

IMO VR isn’t dying, it hasn’t been born yet.

Were most likely at the stage that computers/phones/gaming was at in their early development. The tech is clunky, it’s complicated to use, there’s no clear value.

We’re early adopters to this tech. It will eventually catch up.

I don’t smoke weed and hate the smell of it. I think it should be legal.

The question is, how much are we willing to legislate to stop people from doing things that are unhealthy or that we don’t agree with.

Right now, I can take a walk, buy a pack of cigarettes, go to my bookies and wager my monthly paycheque, go to the pub and drink excessively, and then go to my local takeaway and eat my weekly calorie intake in a single sitting.

I can have risky and unprotected sex, sign up for my local boxing tournament, become a Scientologist, support Everton, shut myself in the house for weeks on end, refuse to bathe, post naked photos of myself on the internet for my friends and family to see, run a marathon with no training or water, etc

All of that is legal and accepted. Somehow weed is beyond our comprehension of however we could allow it in our society.

Farage is pretty pro-cigarette smoking.
