But

What?

He’s high, stupid, AND suffering from dementia.

Good lord, this is a strange timeline.

Not exactly how I expected the AI wars to go, but I guess since we’re in a cyberpunk world, we take what we get

I disagree. War breeds innovation, and while the F-35 is certainly a risk, I am pretty certain they won’t get shut down mid flight. That would be a risk to USA operators too.

I think having the RAF, who already has the F-35 and experience maintaining and flying them, would be a perfect candidate to see how far the F-35s go before they can’t be flown.

I still think they need to replace the F-35, but it might also create incentive for the existing owners to re-engineer vulnerable systems for a significantly better outcome.

Additionally, based on the personalities of fighter pilots I have known, they’d be all sorts of up for this opportunity. If they can get the ability to operate independently of the US, then the rest of the world has Gen V fighters while Russia has none.

Edit: Additionally BAE is one of the major subcontractors on it. I would suspect they can provide a major benefit to it as well.

If it was anyone but the current administration, I would almost believe it.

Well this wasn’t in my bingo card.

I mean, if Russia and Ukraine can both agree in recognizing Palestine as a state maybe the rest of the world (USA) needs to take a hint

EU Leaders promptly replied with a joint statement: “Or, what, exactly?”

Lmfao does the Catholic Church just go absolutely horrible on everything?

I grew up in the ELCA and we had homemade fresh baked bread every communion. It was amazing. The wine was less so so I always took grape juice (even had an old lady say “you can have the wine, the grape juice is for recovering alcoholics.” I responded with, at 13, “I am a recovering alcoholic.” The look on her face was priceless)

Wait you can do crazy shit like that with mRNA vaccines?

Does that mean potentially preventing even prion disease is possible?

I thought that Night city slang for Eurodollars was ebucks in the 2020s? Then it changed to Eddie’s by the 2070s

I was struck by lightning. And bitten by a Cobra. And blacked out

I haven’t seen this but the quality and attention to detail prevented me from stopping i truly lived today

So I know eggs are used in a lot of products.

But I don’t eat eggs by themselves. I get my protein from tons of other things. I get that like, you can’t make pancakes or cake without an egg. But like I don’t enjoy egg-based sauces for whatever reason.

Are eggs really that vital that the price gouging can’t just be boycotted?

Those are shit eating grins if I’ve ever seen one.

Well deserved ones though, I’d say the self satisfaction of delivering Easter baskets full of death to Nazis is one we all should aspire towards

Most of us haven’t been pickpocketed or mugged, but you hear about it in cities that approach 7 digits enough.

Yeah, but like Eddie’s ain’t boga yet, it’d probably get called E bucks or somethin

Yeah, that all checks out.

But their way of living is dying because that’s what happens with industrialization. It’s not exactly something people can fight. It’s been happening for a loooooong time.

Like there aren’t many, if any, ways to prevent it from happening either.

Well

Everything else that happened in those 90 years, AND racism because a whole bunch of lazy buttholes couldn’t have slaves anymore.

So it’s basically just like the US.

Except I can probably be mugged in any city over 50k. Pickpocketing I’ve only really known about in big cities.

That was my thought
