Hmmm, why? Can't you get off the ground like a creepy metal spider that could carry a weapon? Good grief.

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Does it even need a weapon? It looks bulletproof and it could rip you into little pieces.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nope. But, it'll carry a gun for sure.

Capitalism relies on building cyborg cops rather than providing food, housing, healthcare, etc.

I actually fear the worst here.

There’s always been a natural “reset” point when the distance between the haves and the have nots got too large: Guilotines.
