You know, I was 50/50, but I am disappointed that since we ended up in the dystopia, there isn’t as much artisanal neon as I expected.
America is overrun with Super Mutants and Ghouls. So that was kind of accurate.
We got stroads and powerlines though, and strip malls and parking lots!
All we need now is a Hiro Protagonist to deliver pizza and save the metaverse
The Deliverator!
That got replaced with artisanal LEDs. legit uses less electricity
It’s not just MAGA yelling that, it’s pretty much the entire political “establishment”.
Schumer and Jeffries are the guy on the right too. Hopefully they get booted from leadership real soon now.
We were promised hoverboards! We didn’t even get hoverboards! Was all of Back to the Future just a lie? The future sucks.
Not all of Back to the Future, unfortunatelty…
Hey now, we got hoverboards. Just not the kind that actually, you know, hover.
We have been unable to engineer trees so that they grow hundreds of meters high…
Instead we have artificial trees for metropolitan areas made of algae that do the same CO2 to O2 processing. Those can be hundreds of meters tall tho.
90’s kids chiming in the image in the upper half above was ALSO supposed to be the surface of MARS.
Utopianism is a centuries-old pursuit. And, in its defense, the pursuit of a utopia has yielded a steady crop of genuinely beneficial human achievements.
But I do think people mistake being young and naive with being on the cusp of a brighter future. As though US politics wasn’t a clown-car full of bigots, sex-pests, and greedy fuckwits under Bush or Reagan or Nixon.
We are a nation that yearns for a New Deal but refuses to acknowledge the real possibility of a Great Depression past every horizon. We want another Lincoln to lead us, but are scared shitless of a new Civil War. We want to go at the Constitution with a Sharpie and an eye towards the 21st century, but we don’t want to endure the Revolution that comes with it.

At least they had the decency to pretend to be better people.
These days that clown car also has flashing lights and loud noises.

The audio recordings are from several of the Reagan administration’s press conferences in the 1980s. The audio is juxtaposed with images of AIDS patients at Seattle’s Bailey-Boushay House in the 1990s.
George Bush Jokes about WMD’s at White House Dinner
A clip showing a White House Dinner event in which George Bush laughs and jokes about the US not finding weapons of mass destruction (WMD’s) in Iraq.
The “Nixon Jew count” of July 1971 is the name given to then-President of the United States Richard Nixon’s attempts to demote and remove Jews from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
“Yeah, I’m going to need €50 billion for the suspended monorail to make a very tight sweeping arc alongside the valley. No I don’t care it’ll only be able to do 30 km/h, it’ll look sick”.
Yeah this looks sick, but even practical aspects of the monorail aside, I don’t think this would be nice to live in, at least without some improvements that would detract from the beauty.
It looks like just getting together to hang out from people living in other buildings can be an absolute pain. There need to be some common areas easily accessible from all buildings.
Sorry, but most our trees can do is 100 meters.
Wow kid you was really naive huh?
