Your reasoning is solid, but I’m not sure I’d trust someone who steals and bribes to honour their word.

Shit like this is why I always demand full payment up front. It’s just a shame I have no influence to garner bribes.

I’d estimate that 90%+ of us would be dead in a matter of months if not weeks.

Consider the significant lack of food available. Think about how much food the average person has in their house. Probably a week, maybe two. Perhaps a month if you’re wise and start rationing immediately. But most won’t. Most people would be in denial at the start and assume someone or something would rescue us.

Now consider how much food there is available at your local grocery store. And how many people that store could feed. Compare that to the population of the geographic area that store supports and you’ll see that for the most part we would be out of food in a matter of months.

Sure we could scavenge and perhaps hunt small game, but that’s limited and not something most people could do. But to get to a point where we’re actually able to do some level of substance farming, that could take up to a year to complete depending on the season society collapses. Before we get there most of us would have staved to death. Probably too many would die and there wouldn’t be enough labour to work the farms either.

And that’s just considering food. There’s still the issue of clean potable water, and infections or other health issues that turn deadly quickly without modern medical intervention.

And these issues are all compounded if you live in a high density urban environment. Which many do.

TLDR: if society collapses, it might be wise to just bow out before things get really bad.

Empire at War is a viable alternative while you wait for this.

As others say…. Multiple monitors for work. One big ultra wide for gaming.

My only “complaint” about ultra wide is that most gaming ui’s aren’t configured for them. Meaning that to look at the mini map in a game like Cyberpunk, you have to take your eyes off the centre of the screen. Then you will crash your car.

This is a decent and fun 4X game. Definitely worth the new price if you enjoy those games.

I’ll take that bet.

How would you like to pay me?

How you gonna write all that and not even give a hint at what Means Testing is?

Define crazy amount.

Pick the best, and frame them. Put the rest into clear plastic binder sleeves and make a very unique coffee table book.

Challenge accepted.

And here I thought the Jewish faith didn’t have an afterlife?

So much conflicting information in this religion thing. I think I’ll just avoid it all together.

Humane, in these types of circumstances, are not just for the victim, but for the witnesses and executioners as well.

The internet legend that created the suicide helmet is likely the way I’d want to go given the choice. But it would not be a pleasant thing to witness.

FTR: I’m fully against the death penalty. It is a barbaric practise. But I still feel that those who participate in this horrible exercise shouldn’t be traumatized either.

I remember something a friend said to me once. We were watching an action movie and during a well choreographed sequence I said something about wanting to be able to fight like that. My friend said, “sorry, you’ve only got one life”.

Nothing is impossible, but after a certain point in life, you’re simply unable to achieve that which would take a lifetime to master.

Not OP, and I don’t have a brand recommendation, but a word of advice. If you get a steam mop, it may be beneficial to use distilled water and not tap water. If you have hard tap water, the junk will build up in your mop and you’ll need to clean it.

Tap water will work just fine, but it will effectively shorten the lifespan.

But I really can’t recommend a steam mop enough. No chemicals, just water and power. And it cleans even the nastiest of spills.

I don’t disagree, but it’s a late/end game choice. By the time you get it, you’ve probably got most of the cyberwear you want. This will just give you one more high value piece.

Considering the loss of sandy or deck, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze imo.

Still, when I play my borg’ed out V I’ll give it a run

Mission reward or bought from expansion. I believe you need DLC to get it. Not 100% on that though.

Also, be warned it takes up an operating slot. So no deck, sandevistan, or berserk if you opt for this.

Who wants to bet that most commenters will place themselves in the blue zone?

Thankfully I can look down on everyone as I’m firmly at the top of that curve.

“You’re in contempt of court. You have been fined $x and continued refusal to swear the oath will land you in prison until you do. Jackass.”

That’s what the judge does.

Muscles weigh more than shit. When you were shitting, you were flexing really hard and built muscle.

Congrats on the gains.

Far too reasonable for this thread. You have to pick a side. You either have to believe that parents and children bare no responsibility for their intrusions on strangers lives or you have to believe that all babies should be exiled from public spaces until they are old enough to behave.

Choose.

Edit: /s cause this thread is ridiculous enough to need it.

I consider most “for profit” corporations as corrupt and amoral.

So, yes. Those are the only ones who pay close to a living wage.
