The writers of Earth have really given up. They kept implying some cool sci fi universe flip but it’s just cyberpunk dystopia with repeating plot lines.

They're still working on the plot for that, but are feeding us reruns in the meantime.

Don't worry housing won't crash until I buy a place, THEN it will be the best pricing in decades

Actually we fired all the creatives and replaced them with a large language model trained primarily on social media posts.

Cyberpunk dystopia without the cool neon aesthetics.

The American plot line didn't work out. They were not that popular with the main audience and seen as too loud and obnoxious. The story is moving focus to Asia. It was a major influence of cyberpunk after all.

I keep telling people: if you live in town go outside at like 2 am and fire a couple round into the dirt. Regular gunfire reduces property rates and can be used as leverage to keep rent low.

Almost certainly an economic one. Most of our "economy" (stock value, but the media and owners treat this as if it's the economy) is tied up in just a few companies, and all of those company's value are most AI. I'm reasonably confident there will be an AI crash, which will tank stock values and everyone with investments in these companies.

I'm not so sure if there will be a housing market collapse.

Economic collapse? Sure, but for a new housing crisis we don't have enough home owners... How about a nice cost-of-living crisis instead? Or perhaps the good old rent-rising, salaries-stagnation crisis?

Please read your local laws before doing this, as discharging a firearm within city limits is a crime in many places.

I have been informed this is a crime. I quite frankly am shocked and appalled at my suggestion. Unfortunately my fingers are cramping quite hard so I don't know if I'll be able to remove or edit my post, it's quite tragic.

I knew your comment was tongue in cheek, I just wanted to add a disclaimer for anyone who thought it was a good suggestion to lower their property taxes.

Wasn't trying to be disrespectful, just gotta be safe online :) I really did appreciate the disclaimer, I should've added it.

Trailer even looked pretty good, I'm cautiously optimistic. Though if the surname Wayans is in it I'm just gonna watch it anyway at this point.

Best part is that the leader before the coup was actually very progressive and now they have... The revolutionary guard. So things went from good to bad to worse between that guy, the shah and now the current regime, all thanks to the anglos.

Same. In the past few years I've watched Hereditary and The Ritual. Both were pretty good.

No, no sorry for the confusion.

The resources are being recycled. I lost my virginity in two weeks 20 years ago.

Im in a relatively new relationship that is... progressing at the exact pace that it will be in the same timeline. Though it could literally be next week depending if I screw shit up enough or not.
