Like I said I have yet to read Dogs so unsure what the stage is prior to Bear Head, Mexico isn’t specifically mentioned in BH as far as I recall. I don’t know if the timelines match up but with enough time between SP and Dogs they could have figured out the environmental collapse, if indeed the same world. I don’t expect it’s the same universe but there were definitely commonalities which made me question it. I do know AT quite often runs similar situations so similar characteristics, science and politics makes total sense. I actually wrote him an email asking about it. If he responds I’ll post it.

Tf u talking about!!? Its literally one life Ive been given. Wont get another till the next one. If youre talking culturally or politically, same thing. The 80s were fucking awful. 90s far far better in every way

They’re doing their best to make things worse for everyone who’s not (white) them, so to answer your question, not a chance.

I was a teenager in the 80s, the music sucked, people sucked, high school sucked. By the 90s I was full on counterculture rebellion mode partying hard and fucking hard. Id trade me in the 90s for me in the 80s every time.

Yep, came here to say these two. Both fantastic and some of my absolute favorite.

I’ve read in other articles that yes, the plan is to keep the encryption ahead of the curve. One thing I don’t think can be prevented is quantum mining of the remaining BTC, which will likely vastly enrich whoever does it. It could devalue the BTC but that shouldn’t collapse the market. Decrypting the blockchain and 256-bit keys will before counter-measures are in place is the threat.

Here’s what I’ve learned, it’s really easy to broad stroke hate people while on a keyboard or watching the news, listening to a podcast, etc. This goes both ways and fuels the rage. Seeing what people actually believe can become overwhelming, it feels insane what the right actually thinks of liberals, it’s crazy. It becomes easy to hate them back. Here’s the thing, in person everything is different. In my head I’m outraged and have serious contempt for every one of them but when I’m engaging with my neighbors, regardless of politics, I treat them the same respect as everyone else. I remember that they’re at heart a good person and have been fooled and lied to. Now I do still hold them accountable in my heart and I hope one day, if we come out of this with society in tact, I want them to regret. I also want every single maga politician held accountable, everyone who became enriched is stripped of their ill gotten gains and every single ICE gestapo is punished through our courts and also stripped the stolen wealth this administration has enriched them with. Still as a neighbor I’m looking for reasons to engage and help wherever I can in places that have nothing to do with politics. I don’t hate. I’m holding space and heart for accountability and conclusion.

Many books by Adrian Tchaikovsky, another recent is Shroud which is done very well and a fantastic read. For sure Murderbot and not as recent (so pronouns not dialed in) is The Culture series by Iain Banks.
