Meteorologist Who Called Out Musk’s ‘Nazi’ Salute Gets Shown the Door
Milwaukee forecaster Sam Kuffel wrote of Musk: “Dude Nazi saluted twice. TWICE. During the inauguration.”
You're viewing a single thread.
And many, many more are going to follow, as Americans learn that they're no longer free to criticize those in power.
And the day will actually come when the notion of someone just being fired for criticizing those in power will seem quaint, since it will then be far more likely that they'll disappear - sucked up into the ever-hungry maw of the corporate police state slave system.
Currently playing through Cyberpunk just to have some kind of preparation of what is eventually to come.
Well, the Swedes already invented nerve splicing IRL, so you can go chop chop on your limbs and get a prothesis that's directly connected to your bones and nerves.
Cyberpunk future will look good compared to where we're probably headed if history is any indication.
Yeah, we'll get all of the surveillance, climate disaster and police state without any of the cool implants...
Same! Though, I really wish monowires existed in real life.
Monofilament wire is a real thing, it just doesn't have the tensile strength to act like it does in fiction.
Be that as it may, I meant it doesn’t exist as it does in the game. It stands as my absolute favorite thing in CP 2077. It is- by far, the most elegant way to turn one big one into several little ones.
😀
(I’ve run a few monowire/knife only builds with no combat quickhacks. Probably the most fun I’ve had in the game)
If you like Mono-filiment whips you should read the Paratwa trilogy by Chrisopher Hinz.. it's about assassins that have 1 mind in 2 bodies, thus more eyes and coordination skills. They train from early childhood to use these Black eggs that extrude a monofilament whip.. it take years to control them so they don't whip about and cut yourself to pieces.
Oh that sounds interesting. Thank you! I’ll look into it!
you could also read Burning Chrome...
Added to the list. Thanks! I love book suggestions.
Burning Chrome is normally published as a collection of a few short stories (burning chrome is one story in the collection). There is an assassin that uses monofillimant wire somewhere in one of the stories.
William Gibson, who coined the term "cyberspace" in Burning Chrome, is generally regarded as the pioneer of cyberpunk
Awesome! I hadn’t know that. Relatively new to the cyberpunk mythos. Haven’t even seen the Edgerunner series yet as I’m not that into anime. But so far I’m really liking the game.
Not much of a gun person at all, so that’s why I went with the monowire and a knife as a sidearm. Doing a pacifist run as a nomad. Pretty happy with it thus far as I’ve managed to get though the entirety of act 1 without killing anyone. Even during the heist. And only knocked out a small handful of people that were absolutely necessary in order to get by.
I think during The Heist, I managed to get though it without knocking out a single person. Just sneaking past. Then I got my monowire at level 10 at the beginning of Act II.
So far I have done 5 of the gigs in Watson without killing or knocking out anyone, including Monster Hunt. Went in, extracted Jotero, and got out. No desths- unnoticed.
(Apologies for the infodump- I’m AuADHD and had coffee with my Vyvanse this morning)
By far my favourite time killer in cyberpunk is to use the monowire to control NPC cars like a chariot, stand on the roof and hit one side and the NPC turns the other way
ROFL! I had no idea that was a thing!!
I have been thinking I need to buy a gun, now that you mention it.
I'm not a gun owner. Never had even an ounce of desire to be one.
It's time.
If we can't criticize them openly then we'll have to use the other avenues made available via the Constitution. That will just eliminate the warning that negative public sentiment would normally give.
Are you referring to solutions that lie somewhere between the first and third amendment?
All whole numbers in the solution set would suffice...
This is the way.
This is how you become a firefighter without going through vigorous training.
Or an assembly line worker.
Or, quite possibly, it just struck me - a fruit picker or meat packer or motel maid or any of the other jobs that have traditionally been filled by undocumented immigrants.
Wow....
Yeah, I hadn't thought of that before, but that could well be why Trump is seemingly unconcerned about the economic impact of deporting the millions of people who have traditionally held the shitty, underpaid jobs nobody else will take - because the plan is to replace them with the new generation of private prison slaves...
