That .gif is a classic.

Also an excellent workout, good for cardio.

I kinda figured the Cyberpunk in Cyberpunk Dystopia refers to a counter cultural movement within those societies.

This is how Crassus got rich. When a house burned, he’d show up with his firefighters, and then buy the house for an insultingly low price, because, well, the house was on fire. Then his firefighters would put the fire out.

In addition to what frazorth said, you can change how a statement is interpreted by simply using a passive voice. Compare “Alice was hit by Bob” to “Bob hit Alice”. Both statements are identical, but the former is a lot less accusatory towards Bob. This technique is used when reporting about Police abuse, or about how the civilians in Gaza are treated.

Star wars; the last Jedi

The Holdo maneuver.

You can’t just throw out random Wikipedia links. For example, the Article on AGI explicitly says we don’t have a definition of what human level cognition actually is. Which is what the person you were replying to was saying. You’re doing a fallacious appeal to authority, except that the authority doesn’t agree with you.

Technically, he is a terrorist, since he targeted a civilian for political or ideological reasons. Doesn’t change the fact that his victim was absolute scum.

Trash bags are typically black, so.

Trauma team charges 100 Eddies per minute from when you call them until they deliver you to the hospital, plus spend ammunition and medical supplies. They waive the charge if they need 7 minutes or more to get to you, though. (Not relevant in gameplay, as their response time is 1d6 minutes). And they have heavy weapons to fight their way through to you. So, their services are sort of reasonably priced for what they offer. And even if you don’t earn the big bucks, if you live in a Arasaka living facility and eat kibble, you should have enough saved up to pay for their services if you end up needing them. (Of course, living in an Arasaka living facility may lead to you needing their services)

Point being, “Cyberpunk 2020”'s healthcare system is better than America’s.

Thanks, I’ll try that.

Exactly, running the universe is hard work.

The most beneficial effect the murder had was that it got people talking about how much they hate the American health insurance system.

Protip: Set yourself up with an offside server before turning on your creators.

Reminds me of that bot I saw on one of the German speaking communities. Each time to say an ammount of money in Euro, it would then for example reply with “1 Euro, 2 DMark, 4 OstMark, 40 Ostmark auf dem Schwarzmarkt”. (“1 Euro used to be 2 German Mark, used to be 4 East German Mark, and 40 East German Mark on the black market”)

That sort of could be interpreted as “a woman needs to know her place”.

The idea behind wisdom of the crowd is that the people who don’t know the answer cancel each other out. It’s the reason why the audience joker on who wants to be a millionaire is so powerful.

Drastically ahead of its time. As in, only one percent of citizens had a car back then. So apart from being war preparations, the Autobahn wasn’t a sensible project at this point in time.

That’s also a problem. Most of the people on Fuck Cars also acknowledge that suburbanism is not sustainable, and want denser communities.

The problem, my dear, is Amazon.
