@LukeAlmighty Thing is... as bad as things are today, someone from medieval time would think living anywhere in Europe today would be epic.
We've lost perspective of how much life has improved because of technology, and I'd wager it makes sense in universe that people in Cyberpunk consider it a dystopia, because they also lost perspective on things and focus only on their present day issues.

I had a sobering though a year ago. Back during the days of Mozart or Beethoven, these people weren't composing music for the wider audience. Entertainment was a thing solely for the rich. But today, a homeless person in America can listen to any music he wants on a pocket sized computer.
Or Tim Pool likes to make the argument that the original oil baron had worse dental care than an average american has today.

People are free to complain about wealth inequalities, but they should also take a second and appreciate that they probably have access to the same, if not more, life amenities than the richest of the rich from not that long ago. That is bonkers to me.

So yeah, any realistic fiction set in a much more technologically advanced future, is gonna have some of the things we care about solved thanks to technology, while also introducing new unique problems that make it a dystopia.
I haven't played the game, but my understanding was that the dystopic element was some kind of augmentation psychosis and people losing their humanity.

Imagine using discord, you know the chat program where its troon devs will doxx you to antifa and blm if you say anything wayciss and muh soggy knee?

Returned to the game, and honestly? This post is still absolutely true.

Libertarians have no freedom under Trans ideology.

There, I said it. The complete formulation of my stance in this issue.

I feel like I fucking solved a major life issue right now... And all I actually did was, that instead of using one tea tank, I use two, so that one is always filled with cold tea, that I can drink without hesetation :drink:

But it|s so comfy

This has to be among the most disgusting concepts I have ever seen.

Can someone send Just stop oil terrorists to explain to him what that asshole just did?

Destiny: Running around everywhere and fucking everyone is not an evolutionarly benefitial strategy....

That MF is so reterded, he never heard of Genghis Khan,

One of the common questions about the current culture wars is, why do conservatives seem to have a decades worth of foresight compared to the left.

Well, obvious question is, that the war is of the leftie agression, but the more complex one is, that they refuse to take a look at their own precedence.

For instance, there is so called laugh test. It says, that no matter what the law says, if it's application is so ridiculous, that the jury will laugh you out of the curt, then it is as good as void. But, is that really so? Because 15 years ago, it was clearly demonstrated, that logical coherence of laws is not important at all thanks to many open discrimination rulings. Here is the problem though. They didn't understand, that they did break the laugh test. So, how do you explain to them, that Trump going balls deep on governmental institutions with no protection is actually quite expected, since ignoring laws and proper procedures was introduced into the common practice more then 15 years ago?
