It's possible to maximize and enjoy your outcome in a system while still opposing the atrocities that system did to your ancestors. I'm a Cherokee living in Oklahoma within the Cherokee Nation and we have to constantly fight to keep what rights we still have as a federally recognized sovereign nation. It's not about "complaining and being miserable" it's about holding onto our culture and doing the best we can to take care of our people. What the US government did to our ancestors still has ramifications and affects today. Native people are the poorest ethnic group in the US and a lot of it can be attributed to the treatment of our ancestors and the abuse that still occurs from state governments even today.

Jojo is the best about this. You see and stand and think "Wow, that is useless" and then later the same stand has you thinking "My god that stand is so busted"
I read 6 weeks to first release
Replace "Foveated Renderer" with "Forehead Renderer"! You know, cause it renders your forehead for the external screen
Yeah, it's definitely a strange and thought-provoking observation. The way technology and our interactions with it have evolved is both fascinating and, as you mentioned, somewhat dystopian. It's interesting how individuals can find solace or even satisfaction in virtual experiences, like the guy you mentioned playing a hentai game. While it might seem unusual or even creepy to some, it's important to remember that people have diverse ways of seeking gratification and fulfillment.
But what really catches my attention is your comparison to the increasing presence of bots on social media. It's true that many people may be unknowingly interacting with automated accounts, which can create a sense of artificial social interaction. This reliance on social media for fulfilling our social needs can have unintended consequences, potentially leaving individuals feeling lonelier or sadder.
Your reference to "Idiocracy" and the analogy with Brawndo is quite apt. It's almost like we're substituting genuine human connection with a diluted and artificial version, and then wondering why we're not getting the same level of fulfillment or nourishment. It's certainly a complex issue that raises questions about the impact of technology on our social fabric.

Hey look, it's me in the picture! What a waste of my 15 minutes of fame
I've seen one in the US, but it was in a small town with only one has station. No need to treat your customers nice if there is no competition, haha
Very eloquently put BongRipsMcGee420, my next smoke session will be in your honor
Oh yeah, 100% agree. It's insane it isn't a top priority to me. I would have to imagine the powers that be have little to no interest in that kind of change. The world would be a much better place with ranked choice voting though, maybe someday!
Hell yeah! I've got a 91 CRX Si with the stock D16 at like 240k miles, runs like a champ!
As a Honda guy (and S2000 owner) the F20C/F22C gotta be in the hall of fame. A production, naturally-aspirated 2.0L four cylinder making 240HP and revving to 9K RPM in 1999 is bonkers! It set the world record for HP per liter from an NA engine at the time, and it took Ferrari to beat that record 10 YEARS LATER with the 458 Italia. And on top of all that, they're bulletproof and can make massive power with stock internals and boost. What a marvel of engineering!
Oh yeah, K20 and K24 obviously belong on that list too :P
You should really do some more research. The federal government made false promises and deceived/abused the tribes involved in the forced removal. It was in no way an agreement made because "no one owned the land"
