Gamble your kids' future, resisting the lone global superpower, or put on a happy face... Most of us have already made that choice. You'd have to make it pretty fucking terrible, to change that risk:reward, tbh.Speaker to Animals wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:Eventually, they come for your illegal ass not being properly chipped and registered.

Absolutely! I'm so very blessed to be here, in the Land of the Free! I could not be more happy with my government, or all of the wonderful, fast food options all around me!Fife wrote:Awwww.....GrumpyCatFace wrote:Gamble your kids' future, resisting the lone global superpower, or put on a happy face...

Twilight Zone 1980's version
To See the Invisible Man
To See the Invisible Man
Mitchell Chaplin lives in a world parallel to our and has been found guiltyof "coldness"—of not being friendly or open enough with those around him. According to the State, he is to be rendered "invisible" and a social outcast for one year. An implant placed on his forehead warns others to ignore him or be faced with a similar fate. Chaplin laughs at the verdict and his "punishment."
What seems like a welcome chance to be left alone becomes a lesson in humility, compassion, and empathy as Chaplin begins to feel the consequences of social isolation. Under the omnipresent eye of floating security drones that monitor their society, people shun him. A blind man he meets, unable to see his mark is refreshingly cordial until a passing woman whispers the warning to him. The blind man furiously curses Chaplin and turns away.
Account abandoned.

In our society I wonder how many points you would get docked for being a straight, white, male.

I think there is eventually going to be a huge grey market for old cars. (non electronic, combustion engines)
