      As someone born in the early 80’s, just for once I’d like a nice, boring decade. Pretty please.

      Saw the fall of communism, the Balkan wars, 9/11, the rise and fall of the internet, the dotcom bust, the 2008 financial crisis, Arab Spring, Brexit, global pandemic, war in Europe again, US politics, middle-east still fucked as usual. And then there’s climate change to fuck over everything in general.

      So yeah, I’d love a decade where nothing happens. Heck, I’ll take a boring six months at this point. Gimme a fucking break.

        Matter=energy=matter.

        If you can replicate matter with energy, you can turn matter into energy.

        First you use a little wall power or even solar power, replicate some chargeable power cells, and then hey look you've got some portable replicating that will work without an obvious power source.

        And as long as you have enough matter on hand to convert to energy, you have enough power to replicate things until we replicate space tech like deflector dishes and bussard collectors to soak in all that tasty hydrogen that's just laying around all over the universe.

        Jaysus, Keiko, it's like you don't even listen to me when we're having dinner...

        back to the pattern buffer for you I guess...

        Hah, I guess I wasn't thinking far enough into the Trekkiverse.

        I had recently read a book that had replicator-like technology but the matter stream was a luxury that not everyone could afford to connect to, it was laid out as an analog to the internet or other services like that, so that's where my mind went. I can't for the life of me remember which book that was...

          Shit, imma need that title....

          I can’t for the life of me remember which book that was…

          Well, shit.

          If you remember, let us know! I'm a huge book nerd that (clearly) loves sci-fi, and that sounds pretty neat.

            Most millennials graduated shortly after the crisis of 2008. Its a major reason so many of us are unusually much much poorer than the average Gen Xer (who are only somewhat poorer compared to Boomers).

            Yep, got out of school right in time for a recession.

            Changed paths, got certified as a pharmacy tech. You can work for a year without being certified as a pharmacy tech, so I was applying before I ever had my piece of paper. I didn't receive my first call about any of those applications until 2012.

            I never found work in that field, and left my home state for seasonal work. I later came back home and crashed into a two year depression. Like, clinical emergency intervention depression. Not sleeping, not eating, not bathing, all that shit.

            This time Trump is at the helm. I have no hope. I have no faith in the country I was born in to do the right thing. I assume the military oath all service members take will be forgotten under a banner dripping the blood of "undesirables", and chants of MAGA.

            Makes me fucking sick.

              There's a famous saying that goes:

              between war and hell, war is worse because there's no innocent people in hell.

                    The economy is always bad. The idea is to make people feel insecure and desperate so that they take on more/worse work for less pay. They'll use every excuse under the sun, from "we can't afford to pay workers" to "AI could do your job" and it doesn't matter if it's true because there are fewer companies growing larger who control so much of the employment landscape that they can unify against workers and make it so.

                            Every generation could have a "We didn't start the fire song.". It is just politics and the human race on repeat, until it can't or won't.

                                This guy sucks ass and the mythology behind him is fucked. He was a nightmare neighbor who dumped his literal shit in an open creek and eventually went crazy and had visions from god to kill people. The only reason he didn’t is because of an effective evacuation.

                                      Well yeah you could also go like that backwards in time. Iran kidnap crisis, OPEP, cold war, hot wars ( proxy and ww i, ii) and so on and so on.

                                      At least 1st world was steadily growing and improving since 1945, almost uninterrupted (yep, crisis in 1st world are amateur levels). If you were NOT born in 1st world you have to add corruption levels you can't imagine, economy rollercoaster that makes 10% inflation look like an utopia, and CIA destabilizing your country every single time it starts catching up.

                                        First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there's no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.

                                        Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.

                                        Honestly any version of replicators....
