Yeah I'm sure they'll look the other way if you pay 1.5x the market price

The difference is, older generations were more willing to believe the lies of society, young people less so

I wouldn't be so sure that generational sentiments never will change, it's possible that this time it's different, and young people who are in shitty conditions would be much more willing to make change and outright speak against capitalism and current systems.

Why would it be different this time? Because of the internet, and greater acknowledgment, awareness, and lessened stigma of mental health issues and general life struggles.

Ok but can I eat the fresh pizza from a chain without going outside?

I think it's pretty obvious why they were filming, she didn't just pop into existence from nowhere, she just took a break

Because we didn't have as good technology for higher framerates

Not only do you need better screens, but also faster processing speeds

In oslo the old payphone booths got turned into tiny unstaffed libraries, which I think is neat

I've had bitcoin transactions that literally took several days to process. This was also using an average fee. The more people using bitcoin, especially to handle common every-day transactions, the worse this problem would get.

Fusion is likely the end-game power gen tech for humanity, assuming no new physics (and excluding Dyson structures). For the long term, it likely will be the most useful way of generating mass amounts of electricity you can get, and access to more energy enables more possibilities of all sorts of things, enabling even things that are extremely impractical today due to their energy needs

For example, carbon capture becomes a possibility, and stuff like mass desalination. And then you could, in theory, go even more extreme with stuff like terraforming mars at human timescales, with enough energy. Of course this depends how practical and efficient fusion reactors actually would be, but with enough energy you can do so so much

Despite their struggles, politically and socially, Idiocracy is an utopia. As far as I can remember, people genuinely worked to try to make the world better, even if they were failing at it
