The TikTok plan from China worked.

Packard Bell with the ole pressing F5 on boot beep to run Doom 2.

Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.

But all things have a Golden Era, and then it's enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.

If you know anything about the music industry and publishers today it a complete shit show. No I'm not talking about the artists out there, music will always evolve and art will always be expressed however. The industry is fucked and enshittified. Ticketmaster is a scam, concert prices are ridiculous and a scam, the market for artists is only about huge consolidated record publishers, everything is Spotify and subscription now. No the 90s were definitely peak if you've lived it and could access music on tapes and CDs and had a Discman. If you haven't lived it you only have today's experience and exposure to music. Content on Radio today is also shit. YouTube is the only a forum for independent artists with no chance of airwaves exposure.

The machines probably wanted us to repeat that booming period in our history on the events leading to the birth of AI through their programming, and hope we would learn to treat them differently. And at the same time they wanted to understand our programming what they couldn't seem to learn: love. I think it was a compromise that the machines worked out through logic after the war. So they rebooted the Matrix over and over and over until it happened.

Agent Smith's sentinel program realized the truth about humanity though.

1990s was the peak prosperity of US civilization. From best music to best promise of hope and wealth distribution. 9/11 attacks were the point of the beginning of the end really.

Goats.

The powers and process screwed over Bernie in 2016. It would have unquestionably been a clear victory over orange circus clown. He would have been one of the greatest leaders in the 21st century. Now he's too old, even though the fire is still in him. But we do know now that America hates women, especially of colour, for leaders. AOC wouldn't have a chance until a huge social upheaval to change such attitudes and core hatred has occurred, possibly the Civil War 2/WW3.

Just like how past world wars created the world we live in today. Before WW1, before men of all social classes bled together in the trenches of Europe it was quite a different attitude regarding the rights of people and classes compared to after the event. The schools of fascism and communism was very enticing to populations after such a wanton and colossal loss of life by poor leadership on the battlefields.

I think Toyota and Honda... maybe somebody else was developing a Hydrogen cell car. I remember seeing James May on Top Gear talking about it and driving it. It was in California. It seemed really promising and very exciting at the time that's why the memory imprinted on me a bit.

I always imagined that portable future wizard (??nuclear??) power would be as simple as unscrewing a 5 gallon cannister from the back of a vehicle and exchanging it at the power/charging station for money. Like the small 20 lb LPG cooking gas tanks. I still think that electric cars are a phase of tech that cannot be sustainable in terms of money and environmental cost and waste for too long and that it is just transitional in our quest. Hydrogen power was always supposed to be the future in my mind.

Yeah well got some news for you...the Dems ain't gonna do shit. Just like the 4 years after Jan 6th 2021. And then when it's time to make a proper choice they'll just send their worst people for the polls to vote on. They are very much part of and very integral to this system right now. All this... All this is collectively AMERICA.
