Who else dreads this year?

Hollywood screenwriters understand technology to the same extent as Melanesian island tribes in the 1950s.

Remind me how hacking works? You put on some leather coats and sunglasses and type a lot in a dark room?

Won't get past the ionosphere. At worst we loose some of our satellite coverage, but space is full of all sorts of electromagnetic troubles and space craft are built to de3al with it as much as their mass budget allows.

Err, actually, a repeat of the Carrington Event would fuck us over something fierce. And the grid is no where near as resilient as you seem to think - it's actually a known vulnerability issue for the US.

 

[Zachowon]

In the scenario you're describing, human civilization would end.

I never said it would not.

Okay... but anybody out to nuke the US is going to prioritize hitting New York so the folks that move to the countryside and telecommute via Zoom may now be unemployed but at least they're (maybe) still alive. This is no reasonable argument against internet telecommuting.

Social aspects of life that make people...people would be put aside for zoom everything leading to WALL-E world.
Everyone fat lumps of flesh that can hardly stand on their own

Some say it is some say it isn't.
The military is worried greatly about it.

There are lots of poor people who would want to be in this lady’s position, at least she gets to eat

Don’t glorify poverty

And my bones degrade form no use, my muscles don't grow and instead shrink? I am lazy as is.

Technology will replace that, the flesh is weak, steel is stronger

Flesh has morales, steel doesnt

The day your flesh and morals fail you and you ask to be saved, I know I am already saved, as soon as I am fully turned into a mecha-shoggoth

 

[Arch Dornan]

Based and redpilled. To deny gibs because you don't really need it gives a tear on my eye.

 

[Terthna]

I never said it would not.

You made it sound though like we'd be fine if we could simply learn to not be so reliant on the internet; which just comes across like trying to put a band aid on a sucking chest wound.

A large band aid Yes😁

I'm very mentally unhealthy. Being a bisexual with a religious background + Covid is a bad combination.

Nothing wrong with being bi

Also, COVID’s got treatments

Though, I don’t think being stuck in the same room and house for so long is for everybody

I'm not going to argue here much more about this, but I, as someone who has an enormous attraction to both female and males, and is staunchly Christian, life is kind of Hell even though my Church has no idea.

Fair, that said, could be worse, you could be in a place with Sharia Law

That would be horrible. However, I had to deal with fear for my life as a child over here in the West, without Sharia Law.

That said yes, that would be definitely worse. I could be dead for being Christian, let alone queer.

Janus just focus on one rule.

Try not to be an asshole to the people in your life, do that and I'm pretty sure god will try to work with you.

Don't worry to much my friend contrary to the narrative. Many conservatives exists that won't allow you to be killed/oppressed.

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t think that COVID-19 lockdowns will end till perhaps next year

 

[Typhonis]

Spanish Flu lasted two years at least maybe longer.
