I like city building games and puzzles. I like other things as well, but that's not important right now.

  • 7-9, i call 1-3 the Prequels. I think in a way retconning 7-9 is the most profitable thing disney can do with it, there have been a few silly rumours they might do it too.

  • that saves humanity but will arrive too late to prevent some harrowing effects.

    One harrowing thing i expect is for there to be mass migration attributed to climate change - after all, we already see mass migration for smaller reasons, so even if they don't strictly speaking need to move north (or south), i think new media and scientists will just attribute any migration that occurs as being climate-influenced driven.

    Arguably a good thing, if it raises peoples' concerns for climate change. I think this is why a lot of RWers dismiss climate change as a hoax though, because of its connection to mass exodus from the "globsl south". Two things can be true.

    I expect we will lose some entire settlements, coastal ones. I think Egypt will get messed uo because of their weird relationship with water, and major cities with major sea defence projects are ones to look out for - they're ramping up sea defences in New York right now, making me think something is coming (next 20 years or so)

  • Honestly all i can say is thst i hope it never happens. I expect it will be possible given that some people are so hell bent on pursuing it, but my cope theory is thst "hell bent" is the right term, because it would be a living hell.

  • Okay now it's weird how many people are citing things i've also thought about!

    I expect him to be a quite significant figure in history textbooks, hopefully as an example of how not to lead, as the USA's version of King Henry VIII of England, and the reason why the constitution and electoral system was changed. A rare example of president->prison pieline taking place in the USA.

    However. It just feels like he has some unholy power to prolong our suffering and tank any blows to his career or even his life. I fuoly expect that he'll stay alive as long as possible which wiol prevent americans talking so candidly bout him.

    Or maybe it'll allow trump to see every last member of his cult turn on him. Maga voters will finally admit that whoever comes after trump is better, they haven't seen lasting change or security following his regime, and it wasn't at all worth the humiliation they subjected themselves to. They're like a really toxic F-ed up college fraternity.

  • Seems to be a popular theory from 4channers actually, i think i read a bunch of /x/ greentexts proposing theories like that.

  • Seems very plausible.

    As a kid i always wondered why countries didn't buy up parts of other countries to avoid bloodshed for territory.

    A) A country's proper area is very important to it, especially an "ancient" country like Switzerland's neighbours,

    B) Citizens do cause a fuss about having their leaders change undemocratically or suddenly - it could make taxes or travel different - and they tend to revolt at sudden unconsented change like that, even if it's only surface level.

    I see this being most likely to occur for places like middle eastern oil states, so Oligarchs is definitely the right conditionality. Or big empires like the USA and China

  • Yeah i think that too! Great example, fits with the "no evidence" aspect

  • I totally agree. If recent Iran conflict war had gone much further or had successfully roped in the USA's NATO allies, it would have fit all those criterias.

    It shows that we teeter on a precipice above the pit of wartime

  • Some other ones:

    • I think North Korea will be accepted back into the fold of the international community - this could occur through any of these 3 mechanisms: 1) "rehabilitated" to be more like other nations, 2) eventually proves its system to be successful, or 3) simply the US gives up on its shunning of the country. All evidence and past performance shows that it won't, but i still expect it to happen some time before 2075.
    • I don't think sentient aliens exist. Okay so there's the goldilocks nature of Earth's position which evidences in favour of my stance, but even without that, i just feel like we're alone
    • bonus showerthought: imagine if aliens in the future try to "cancel" humanity for basically committing intergalactic blackface by making things like Star Wars and Star Trek. That's my baseless prediction if aliens exist
    • I think the star wars sequel trilogy will be retconned out of canon

  • I don't know. I don't know if i'm in tune with what loneliness feels like. I've been living with family members for a while so i always have people to talk to, and i don't remember ever feeling like i haven't spoken with people in a while, because i always have social media. I overused forums as a young teen and it looks like i still overshare on forums today, xD

  • Less time playing video games, more time shaking up the routine. New tasks you don't do regularly make the day feel longer.

  • Which is worse: Friends or Seinfeld?

    Jump

  • I think seinfeld is worse. I tried to like it.

    • Friends is pretty easy to understand, seinfeld feels like it's somehow appealing to a smaller audience.
    • Friends has a bigger cast and bigger sets - Seinfeld uses a tiny, though realistic, apartment, and the diner they go to feels more closed in. I don't watch sitcoms for the realism so i think friends wins here because it's better thought out.
    • Seinfeld struggles to control his smile and laughing, and it makes it seem like he's a comedian constantly aware that he's just playing a character or acting out skits he wrote. I think Friends has the benefit of the actors not, usually, writing their stuff. Also in Friends they eventually developed brilliant talent at riffing/ad-libbing, something which Matt Perry demonstrated from the get go and helped carry the show with.

  • to read books(this one helped a ton, I was a voracious reader all my life and I can tell the difference against people who don’t read.

    Saaame. Just yesterday, when you posted this, i met someone who told me she needed to start reading more - i wanted to tell her it's fine and by reading at all she's so far ahead of many people in keeping good habits for life. You can just tell how "well read" people are.

    Actually reading for fun made me an academic minor deity compared to other kids, in the days of social media roll-out. Now I have to imagine how much better the kids who don't/aren't allowed to use AI are doing compared to those who do.

    I definitely didn’t chase after girls who there was a mutual interest, but rather girls who were “easy” targets for me.

    There might be a bit of this in all of our lives.
