Oof, right in the liver

Saying we're trying out a new process every sprint while doing the same thing we always have

I create tech demos to trick venture capitalists into paying my boss to keep this farce going

If you think that's bad don't look at the auto industry. Everything is propped up by duct tape and regulations. But mostly regulations.

Crows can use tools and won't need vehicles to travel. Dolphins don't stand a chance.

That sounds a lot like the US constitution, amirite?

Please save me from this waking nightmare

Straight? How vanilla

WWI is super interesting since it set the stage for so much of the current geopolitical landscape. My main issue with "I watched History Channel as a kid" types is that they really just think guns and swords are cool (which they are) and don't care much about the story of how people ended up in a war.

Also, I know what you mean about how interesting the day to day things from the past can be. I got really into preindustrial economies and how we used to make everything by hand. It's fun to go into old buildings and seeing the tool marks on the wood and guessing how they made it

History is kind of the opposite. When someone says they like history I'll get excited and ask what period is their favorite. If they say "Romans" without any qualifiers like Early Republic or Late Eastern Empire, I get a bad feeling and they usually follow up with "and WWII"

I've been in the Model Y with the stupid wing doors and the release is behind the speaker covers in the door. The speaker covers are not easy to grab or remove. That's when I have the user manual open and there isn't a lithium fueled fire burning me up in seconds

They even have a pet ghost cat or two in the bottom right

"My expertise is mostly in sorting algorithms. I don't see how--"

"Shut up, nerd! Get in the tower and make the planes stay in the air"

I made the Enola Gay joke a couple weeks ago thinking there's no way they could be that stupid. I don't know why I'm surprised.

It goes straight to Hell, MI

Not pictured: the giant, shitty looking pile of rubble under them.

They just blasted chunks off the mountain and left the mess behind

Everywhere I've worked has been the last 4 combined.

I shit. I shat. I have shitten.

So we'll have green energy but capitalism will be as strong as ever. A solar dystopia. At least there will be a future for us to be shadowrunners in.

Reminds me of the game Contraband Police that used Cyrillic Соитяaьаид on the poster which reads "Soityaa'aid Police"
