This omission makes me wonder if they mean Tesla specifically or just using it as an euphemism for everything its overlord touches.

2050s for 1st edition, I think current edition is 2070s. Dragons started waking up in the early 2010s though. There has also been significant geopolitical upheaval, especially in the Americas and Europe. The general assumption is that a nuyen being about 1 modern dollar is about the right ballpark.
Shadowrun probably throws these assumptions off a bit. Dunkelzahn’s net worth is hard to pin down but I think the listed cash dispursements in his will exceeded 1 billion nuyen, plus all the real estate and the establishment of several foundations, several items of extreme power and a number of ‘wishes’.
Lofwyr owns a AAA megacorp that he assembled out of purchases made within about 30 years of waking up. My personal he’d cannon is that he ate Musk at some point in this process.
Even the less well known ones have serious stock portfolios and including multiple point shares in megacorps. Dragons took to business rather well as soon as they worked out what share certificates were.
“Greed is not the issue here” - actual dragon sitting on literal pile of gold.
Unfortunately that is more a symptom than a root cause. Even if we could the infection would remain.
But if I don’t have American politics to distract me I have to confront how generally fucked the UK is.
Imagine making paying someone to make an AI to be your friend and it still hates you. (I presume, given the current state of the right and twitter Grok might not think it is a bad thing.)
Honestly I think a lot of what is held up as AI authored is just written by human hacks. It learned it’s bad writing by reading us.
Why did you, personally, leave Reddit?
The second image implies and everything bagel without cream cheese, which seems like a fundamental contradiction.
I think I’m focusing on this so as to not comprehend the horror of these pictures in general.
It’s not just the discomfort it causes to the user, it’s how high quality, non-dissolving paper fucks the sewer system for everyone.
Best I can do is .7, but I’m taking all the risk here.
At home I can deal with it (and have done). Hotels are a different story and they don’t all have shower heads you can reposition. I’ve even been in ones where the gap between my head and the ceiling would not fit a showerhead between.
Same with sinks and work surfaces. If I control the space you can bet it’s all comfortable for me, but I don’t always had that luxury.
That isn’t even the worst thing. Sinks are. Especially those big, deep professional ones where the bottom is somewhere south of your knees. But even ordinary sinks are almost always too low to be comfortable and you have to do this little half stoop/lean to use them properly.
Also showers in hotels. The controls are low, and sometimes the showerhead is at or bellow shoulder height.
Squeezing into an airline seat is comparatively fine, and I tend not to have to worry about the guy in front reclining because they physically can’t. And the look of fury dying in the eyes of the chap who just turned round to complain about it is a memory that warms me to this day.
Not going to be useful. They don’t want a democracy, they don’t want a justice system. They want a king and the ability to use state power to shit on other people.
But what are they filtering for?
Sick of covering for your arse all the time.
If it isn’t on your shelves (or server) it isn’t your library, it’s someone else’s access.
Maybe they want to be tied up and have a train run on them.
Back in my day we were told that was how you got a virus.
