Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Staffan]

We were promised flying cars and houses that fold up into briefcases, but I would be happy with a toaster that actually pops up the toast consistently when the bread reaches optimal brownness. But no, instead I get "Remember your terrible drawings from childhood? Now a computer can do just as poorly!"

I was considering posting the tweet about how most of us were not promised flying cars but rather a cyberpunk dystopia, but I'll give you this instead:

I am just mad we got the cyberpunk dystopia without the cool chrome arms and stuff.

We've reached the future, and, well, the future kind of sucks — as the man said, you are never going into space.

Not sure what I just read, but my inner pessimist is laughing.

Y'know, the idea that automobile accidents could be the #1 cause of death sounds pretty good (I'm not saying the stats hold true, just running with it). That would mean we've beaten back disease, war, famine, and crime. But also that society is so advanced technologically and economically that the general public has nearly unlimited access to travel. Not a perfect utopia. But better than a world where we restrict health care to the wealthy and battle to the death over resources and ideologies.

Seems fairly optimistic to me.

That would be the optimistic take yes.

Automobiles are definitely not the current leading cause of death in the US, unfortunately.

A lot of people are under a lot of stress an anxiety these days. You don't have to put up with nonsense, but leave some grace for them, just in case.

eh, when it's the same refrain over and over, grace kind of goes out the window imo
