    And that’s why time travelers always assassinate folks instead of warning.

    Too bad it’s by DBZ rules so you only fix another timelines and never your own.

      Are you saying the CEO of United health care was executed by a time traveler? I’m down for this narrative.

        That’s lame. Why didn’t they just do putin, or xi, or… um… that orange-skinned weirdo sent by putin*

        Or just go back all the way to hitler

        Or go back before all the monarchies are formed and kill all those shitheads.

        Kill baby Gengis Khan, Kill baby Julius Caesar, Kill Christopher Columbus, Kill the vikings, Kill Qin Shi Huang, Kill Hirohito.

        Edit: *Hypothetically speaking, calm your tits FBI, this is legal free speech

    I’m convinced time travel was invited around 1997. They started mucking about and soon realized no matter what anyone did things just got worse. So, at some point around 2005 something changed and time travel was no longer used to try and fix anything. This is my head canon for this world.

    If you come back here bring weapons or something. We do give a shit, but we are powerless.

        Sure but the key is where they’re distributed, it’s kinda the reverse of those peppers who have like 40 guns. I have no gun unless you count a busted revolver which ain’t got no chance of shooting again, give me a firearm and group of like minded folks and we have progress. But just cause my neighbor who is a cook has 20 guns doesn’t mean I’m capable of getting my hands on them.

        Sorry if this is scatter brained I am very tired but I will not go to sleep.

        Speak for yourself, there are few places where you can buy weapons at Walmart and I don’t live anywhere nearby.

      Assuming you’re American; did I just read an American claim that they don’t have weapons to protest?

      For starters, you have plenty of guns in the US. But really, why would you need them? Look at for example France, they don’t have guns either, but they manage to oppose the government when they oppose government policy. You don’t need guns to mount a protest.

        I’m American, just not North American, or currently living in the USA. I can’t really answer your question without advocating for violence and getting my comment removed, but let me put it this way: No Kings protest was the biggest in the USA recorded history, and then nothing came from it. Still not so slowly descending into fascism.

    Why would they go back to warn in the first place? It’s already clear people willingly voted for this, what do you think you can do differently? The warnings were already on the wall, everyone with half a brain tried to warn the other ones without a brain not to vote for this, yet they did. There is nothing more that can be done really.

    If you go back in time and give your past self enough information to get rich and to make a time machine, can anything stop you from going back in time to tip yourself off?

    How bad could it really be if they still advanced technology enough to make a time machine?
