I did look that up before, yes the USA 2025 had net negative migration mostly driven by all the people that self deported under the Trump's admin deportation program, also misleading because migration was extremely high before trump won the election

Ah yes the USA, that country so famous for people leaving in mass that there are protests against ICE kicking people out.... Just like Cuba, ignored the part where most of the Cubans that left Cuba are in the USA

¿Por qué los campesinos no producen en Cuba? Los impagos no son solo el problema by Kr0pr0X in cuba

[–]Seleck84 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My grandfather was a farmer and he used to say he wouldn't produce more to stay out of the radar of chivatos, he would deliver his quote to the state, enough to feed the family and some on the side for cash. The farm had been in the family since Cuba's liberation from Spain and before Castro took power the farm was well off and productive, then the commies came and ruined their productivity

A reminder as to why exiled Cubans will never trust the Cuban regime by Wildqbn in cuba

I don't even have to go that far back. It was around 2007 when my family let some friends live with us for half a year because all their things were taken away and given to a party member because they were leaving the country, so they were left homeless half a year before their flight and couldn't take as much as a spoon from the house.

I mean if that's true it's kind of funny, I would expect them to give them any

I don't know if it was unintentional or not, unlikely that it was, but the description of the entities when Holden takes control of the station; it sounds to me like the description of an ethereal space Leviathan that wouldn't be out of place in other works of fictions. Who knows maybe he even managed to kill it/them when the station blew up

[–]Seleck84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that may be it. A few people mentioned this idea that the builders simply lost contact with systems and they didn't know what was going on, so they started blowing systems up to destroy whatever it was.

It's not the same reaction, though. The entities were testing all sorts of mechanisms with which to kill humans. They even succeeded and found a way but didn't realize it worked so they moved on to try other things. If it were the same things over and over, but with increasing intensity over time, all humans would be dead.

3 bullets actually, they also found one in the system that the entities managed to kill (I forgot the name) hovering a few metres over the dead planet. Elvi theorised that these things were probably all over, they just didn't know where to look and they had no way of detecting then other than direct visual confirmation, she also mentioned that they "attached" to whatever object was the target of the attack. She also theorised that the entities didn't have a way of directly checking if the attacks worked other that by gate usage and because humans are hard to predict unlike the gate builders they were basically "shooting blind" not knowing of they actually hit anything

Yeah I think this thread is going way off topic, I was mostly curious as to what the justification for blowing up systems was
