Okay so the fascism was still thoroughly deniable if you were straight cis and white.
The internet was this like magical cool thing that was going to change everything.
The illusion of ownership was a lot more substantial, because while we were connected, we weren't all always connected to everything
There was more space for privacy, interiority.
Houses were basically free (it was a scam but most people didn't want to know that)
'Conservative' old dudes with nazi memorabilia usually got it the right way.
Even the literal nazis regularly shot at the cops. The cops even shot other nazis sometimes!
There were rarely more than 4 genocides going at once, none of them as bad or directly by major powers.
The cold war had just ended, so the libs were like 80% less insufferable (i know) and everyone was haopy the world couldnt suddenly end in nuclear fire with like two hours notice
A buncha annoying hippies and nerds were whining about 'global warming' but nobody really had to listen.
None of your tech had the juice to do what it said on the box and spy on you. Everything was unsecured. You could get into any computer anyone who mattered used by just deleting the password.
That last part sounds like some hyperbole i made up for a joke. It is not hyperbole and i did not make it up. It was, arguably, a joke.

How exactly did they get "it" the right way?

It was that gods damned Hadron collider, I’m telling you. It let the 5G into our reality and now we’re all being controlled by fucking lizard people from the Nth dimension who are after all of our blood.
It was in all the papers.

Killin nazis, lootin corpses.

The 2008 crash was also the result of Greenspan and Bush’s 0% interest rate bullshit that prevented savings and ruined the housing market while starting wars to avoid smaller correctional recessions. 9/11 was the excuse, so I kinda caused all this, in a way.
YOU did?!? You son of a...

The Nazi memorabilia was from their time killing Nazis and they remembered how great it was to kill Nazis. The few that were Nazis hid or because the others really wanted to kill Nazis again.

Living in the 90s would be so chill compared to today.
Wealth inequality is fucking over everything.
I just want to be rewarded for working to support humanity with a life that doesn't feel like a prison. :c

My favorite thing from The Matrix was the concept of "Residual Self Image." It is the perfect starting point to understanding dysphoria. If I was plugged into The Matrix, I would not at all look the way I actually do. I would look to you the way I see myself in my own mind.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah. Say what you want about 90s racist grandpa; the biggest problem he'd see with your gay blue haired ass getting gassed by cops who're covering an ICE raid is that you let any of them live.
Like, he'd still call every single person on your side a slur, but he'd be doing it while he shouted abuse at you for not killing the nazis.

If we really were to be in the Matrix that's fine, but could I maybe ask for some better living conditions? Maybe be able to actually afford things without constant worry and anxiety over whether I can pay the rent.

They tried a perfect society but humanity rejected it as fake.

That's part of the control.

Yes. And I understand that one of the character's expressed gender is opposite inside and outside the Matrix.

Probably not the place for it but I shall point out that the 00s were going swimmingly until the cunts at Goldman Sachs and others of a similar bent made a shedload of cash out of turning the housing market into a massive casino and then stuck taxpayers the world over with the bill in the '08 crash and the global economy has been pretty much fucked ever since.
It's Goldman Sachs. Those board members should be in prison.
Sure. Prison would be fine. Hell, I'll gladly argue for the reduced sentence after they're brought to justice. I bet I'll be feeling generous.

monkey paw curls now you won't be rewarded for working while being contained in an actual prison.

Did UK people smoke much more back then? I recently went on vacation to Germany and was appalled at how acceptable it is there. Here in the Netherlands we have a program called "Smoke-free generation", which forbids smoking in places that children often visit, such as schools and sports fields. From what I heard, the bottom kinda fell out when vaping became popular under teenagers.
Never come to South East Asia lmao. China, SK, Japan have been taking measures, like its banned in most hotels and restaurants now, but theres so many restaurants in Japan that are grandfathered in and literally everyone smoking, hotels in China that are technically apartments or something to skirt the law, and people smoking in the streets even when its banned.

Peak was 2011 change my mind.
Nah, '95 was best. BBS systems were in their final bloom, Usenet was better than everything that came afterwards (OK, the fediverse maaaay be a good successor) and there were still the COOL systems (Atari, Commodore...) around even after their respective companies had abandoned them.
You also could make some decent money if you had some rudimentary coding skills... I financed my first motorcycle (for which I hadn't a driving license, mind you) by writing a (QBASIC? Visual Basic? I don't remember) software for managing car parts for some local used car dealers.

It's actually red Lectroids from the 8th dimension.
But I understand how you'd get confused.

I'm starting to think having my dick out this whole time hasn't been working.
Just imagine how much worse things would have been if we hadn’t

But that's the thing it doesn't gotta be perfect, just a little better. We can still handle some suffering, but goddamn could we atleast afford a house to suffer in?
