Jer@davidgerard JFC we live in the dumbest cyberpunk dystopia
We have for a while, but even I am sometimes shocked at how stupid it can get
Betting on missile strikes and death threats to reporters reporting on them - I swear if that had shown up in an 80s or 90s movie people would have rolled their eyes at how over the top dumb it was
heptapodEnthusiast 🏳️🌈@Jer @davidgerard It's like a discarded subplot from RoboCop, alongside Climbing For Dollars and the orbital laser platforms that killed off undesirable ex-presidents in a "testing mishap".
Myphatself@davidgerard who could have seen this coming besides anyone with a partial bit of thought left.

Orb 2069
